How young were you when you bought your first DP?

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 was 37 when we bought our first DP (our 4th MH, 2 used, 1 new gassers before that), bought our second one when I was 42 when we bought our second one. We still have that one and probably will for the long term future.
There are 24 hours in every day - it all depends on how you choose to use them.

Traded our 5th wheel and sold my truck to get ours earlier this year. I was 34. It's a long time till retirement, so this probably won't be our last.

It took me a TT, and two 5th wheels before I made the plunge.

I was 34 when I bought my monaco, at 38 I moved to a 5th wheel. I loved the bus, but the 5th wheel has a lot more space, I already had the truck, and no longer have another engine to maintain.
