If you own a motorhome(boat, plane, motorcycle etc.), you are not "old". 🙂

Old enough to know better but too young to resist....
Due to depreciation the above opinions are now worth less than what you paid for them.

We are all good at something.....
I just happen to be a good bad example.

Amen to that, amen. Health and relatively speaking wealth equal good RV'ing. My twin 8 yr old boy's already have a childhood treasured in good times and fond family memories they will never forget.

I was 36 when we bought our motorhome. I did have a good bit of grey hair, but I was still young.

I think Old is a matter of opinion these days relative to one's own age. Not really sure what constitutes one as being old. At 45 I'm pretty darn young to my 89 yr old Granny, but to my 15 year old niece, I'm a geezer.
