Is 70 to old to travel with a RV

I am not sure if it is still in effect but the only thing that I know about that happens at 70 is that if you live in Ontario you need to take another driving test. Just a year shy of that mark and have shortened my driving distance per day but I sure hope that when I hit that mark nobody comes to cement my tt to it's pad so that I can't use it any more. If they do they might become like Jimmy Hoffa. (Embedded in cement).

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 pretty much covers it, it isn’t age it is physical and mental health! I just turned 70 and can still keep up with 30 and 40 year olds. Yes I feel it at the end of the day, but have been active all my life, I consider myself lucky to still have my health and strength.
I know those in the 80’s doing as good as I , and also those 10 years younger that are all stoved up. My DW is also still active and pretty healthy.

Didn't you post a similar comment last year?

I agree. Lets enforce it so more available camping spots for those of us under 70.

Maybe the new admin will come up with such a law as a part of the NGD.

Not at all.....I was wondering if he was still among us,good to know he still is,he has been known to have large gaps in posting...always a kick to read some of his trolling posts and the answers that are posted some times are hilarious always a good read.I was hoping for something new from him,we need some levity with all this #### going on.

Why? (I know you are a troublemaker LOL!)

There is only one person on these forums that is UNDER 70!!!

That would be ME LOL! Only 60. I think there might be one or two more but not many! ;)

Supercharged is always good for a laugh or to, too or two.

Why 70? It's just an arbitrary number.

There are folks that are fit as a fiddle at 70 and beyond (as witnessed by a bunch of folks on here). And there are folks that probably shouldn't be driving anything at 40. Depends on one's health, both physical and mental. THAT should be the determining factor, not some random number.

I'll be 80 this year. Just drove the RV (a truck camper) 4,100 miles from Seattle to Fort Myers Florida with lots of camping along the way. I'll be driving it back in April. No worries.

Am 77 and just drove 5-600 miles in our Class C to camp out at daughter's family house in AZ. Answer to your question-Nope!
