Is 70 the age to stop towing

A few inches between an A and a B? Feet would be a better answer.
Supercharged is no more a troll than many others on here. He's just quirky.

Then again, maybe 70 should be the age when some trolls quit posting.

If 70 were the stop towing age, there would surely be a lot less campers on the road.

We'll have to agree to disagree. It's a hell of a lot easier to drive and maneuver a van sized RV than it is a Class A sized RV. If she can't maneuver a Class B van sized RV she can't maneuver a sedan, in which case she needs to have her license taken away.

Class B is much more maneuverable in a small area.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

A friend in Florida had the answer. When she started hitting things with her Class A, her kids made her get a Class B. Those few inches got her a couple more years.

Now there's some convoluted logic. I guess they figured she'd still hit things, but do less damage.

Not really, if she's hitting things in a big vehicle then her ability to judge distances is not at its best. Why would putting her in a smaller vehicle improve her vision and ability? It won't make her a better driver, just lessen the damage she does and the frequency.

I'm 69 now. I surely hope the 70 age limit doesn't apply to riding dirt bikes, too.

Check back in ten years.

There is something that happens to men that is never mentioned in these RV forums, but IMO is associated with this subject (aging). IMO too many male senior citizens/RVers don't get enough sleep due to a condition that makes one wake up 2 or 3 times at night. IMO that's when the aging process seems to speed up. You gotta watch that! Oh, and BTW, have any of you old geezers heard about the UroLift procedure?

I think maybe if you drive a motorhome at 70 you are safe, but pulling anything behind it is not safe.

I think you are full of beans and that you troll alot

Guess I'm one of the older ones...78 in 2 days and I'm no where near ready to quit pulling a trailer. I honestly feel I'm very capable and alert. Planning a 6000 mile trip next summer. Sure I may not be willing to drive 400 miles a day...200 is closer to it...but those are wonderful days.
