Is 70 the age to stop towing

Depends on your health and physical condition. We have met many 70 year olds that are healthier and in better shape than many 50 year olds.

I've moved it up to 87.

I think it will hit 15,000.

Yeah, but you cheated!!!! Brought it back from the dead is what you did!

After cheating, you were off only by 5,000. 20,000 and still counting. That has to be your record.

Livin the life! Good for him!

Spend part of the summer in Montana with the fifth wheel ,this year was our 15th year at the same rv park on the Madison river .

The first person we met 15 years ago was a gentlemen and his wife , his wife has since passed away ,but he still tows his 35 foot Avion trailer from Indio, Ca. We celebrated his 91st birthday and the 40th year on the same rv site this summer.

I have ridden with him several times over the years in Montana and California where he lives. Not a problem with him yet at 91 driving , maybe 92 ?

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.

At 74, I am still planning to drag a travel trailer several thousand miles a year. I have arbitrarily set my goal at age 78. In four years, I hope to adjust that to 82.

I sure hope not. Turned 70 yesterday. If 70 were the magic age, I'd have to sell my new trailer today.

Has more to do with overall health than age. If your reactions are still good, mind sharp, and vision decent I would say continue on.

X2. I was nearly 70, full timing and in great shape until a stroke took me out of the equation. I had planned to fulltime much longer since I had no issues whatsoever pulling my fiver and setting up camp. Not living in my RV is a bummer which is hard to get used to.
