I completely disagree. My father is 75 and spent most of his life saving and investing. A couple years ago I sat down and talked with him and told him to enjoy his money.
My sisters and I have houses and live local. God forbid something happened to my father, any/all of us would be ready, willing and able to take my mother in. He has invested his money well and will likely have money left over when he is done spending it. He has done so much to help my sisters and I growing up. We didn't have a lot of stuff, but we never NEEDED anything. I told him that HE worked and saved that money... HE and my mom should spend it. I told him that he doesn't owe me a dime. Obviously if we get money when they have passed on, we will be grateful... but I would prefer he enjoy the fruits of all his labor.
If you have the money and the desire for a new trailer, I don't see why you shouldn't get one. Good for you that at 70 years old you are still out traveling and enjoying life. Do what you want to do with your money.
Good luck in your decision.
