At 60 I'm younger than most who have replied to this thread. But with rheumatoid arthritis and some serious back problems it's just not fun setting up and tearing down any more. So my wife and I are going to be putting our travel trailer on a permanent site in western NC. It's a beautiful campground and we've got a huge somewhat secluded site that already has a 9x12 storage building on it. We'll be camping anytime we want without the work of hook up and set up etc. And if we want to visit other places we'll just have to learn to stay in hotels. But to be honest the mountains of NC and Tn are where we almost always go anyway. So now we only have to drive 5 hours in a regular vehicle and walk in and begin camping. The way I look at it it's better than not being able to camp at all.
