It all depends on you physical and mental condition.
No laws that I am aware of to prevent you from traveling or driving a RV..
My Dad towed his 5th wheel up into his Eighties out of state, but personally his driving was not good, eyesight was bad and mentally was not as sharp as when he was in his 60's.. Got bad enough that my Mom refused to travel with him anymore and he finally gave it up and the trailer sat in the backyard for the next 8 yrs until he gave it to my Brother..
Have to be aware of your own health, physically and mentally and be prepared to say that it is time to hang it up before hurting someone..
This nails it. It is not your age, it is your physical and mental state. And being honest when those degrade, as they will, and quit.
I am 71 and have many more years planned to RV and ride my motorcycle!

Sadly, toward my Dads end of life, Dementia clouded him into thinking that "all is well" with him and blamed everything that went wrong on others.
Dementia is a cruel, cruel fate that can take even the smartest and wisest person and eat up their knowledge without the person realizing it..
It was very difficult and painful to have to take away his keys and vehicles, they were his life..
