How young were you when you bought your first DP?

[93mastercraft]

For starters I was 44. There is another tread about how long into retirement people will be keeping their motor home. I am no where close to retirement and I feel like I don't fit the demographic. I want to keep this specific to class A DP's and late model ones say within 5 years old because of the huge expense.

I think your kids may veto another rig, DSDPDon 😉

Sold the popup and moved right into the DP 10 months ago at 57. Retired the previous year at 56.

I was 37, it was a Fleetwood. Had it for 5 years. Have had mostly fifth wheels since. I just like having the bigger pickup to drive around and the room in the fiver. Like all RV,s but like fivers more so.

Lost my first wife to cancer at 35, left me with boys 2 and 5 years old. Just got remarried and now the boys are 6 and 9. My new 31/yo DW drives the RV and loves it.

Love it!

I certainly remember your story and I'm so glad that you have found happiness again.

Back to the topic..... I bought our first diesel, and only, Motorhome in our signature in 2007 at the age of 48 a couple of months before my 49th........ now at 56, I'll get the second and last motorhome (famous last words) this October.

MM.

Thank you for the kind words! It is GREAT to be remarried and have someone who loves to travel in the RV... and drive it!

Bought the DP @ 64 after selling our 98 Safari Trek gasser. Still using it and as we speak the DW and I are sitting here in Yellowstone. What a great lifestyle RVing has been for me,I purchased my first MH in 1972 (a class C cab over on Dodge chassis).
