We have been RVing for some 30 plus years. Starting with a 19ft. TT, then to a 26ft. TT, a 35ft 5th Wheel, back to a 22ft. TT and today the 22 footer will be leaving the driveway with a new owner. Thank you all for the questions answered and the suggestions you have let me post, I will be lurking and checking up on you all, but looks like our RVing days are over. Age has finally caught up with us and giving it up for the safety of ourselves and others. Hope all of you have as much fun as we have had traveling these United States and Mexico, memories made and friends made in our travels. It's a sad day to say the least knowing that another phase of our life has ended and new one has begun. Have fun that is what it is all about, we sure did!!

Sorry to hear you must give up this lifestyle, something we all are going to have to come to grips with some day.

Sorry to hear that. It amazes me the people that I meet when we are camping. We regularly run into older folks (60's and 70's) that still camp. One couple we met 2 years ago was in their 70's and had just bought a new rig and were still actively driving around the US. Other couples own a nice camper and store it down in Florida and pay to have it hauled to a seasonal site from November through April. While I bought a camper so I can go all over, I find myself going to the same spots over and over again because I love them so much. Perhaps, if the RV bug bites again, you can consider storing it and paying to have it moved for you.I'm still a young kid at 33 but I hope to continue to camp for another 30 or 40 years. My parents gave up their RV around their mid 60's and haven't looked back.Best of luck with wherever life leads you.

I plan on RVing until the day I die. then the kids can keep up the tradition, or clean up the mess. :)

Most people just have the kids finally out of the house in their late 50's and finally start having enough time off work for some real vacations / camping.
