Old age

[GHOST1750]

There are subjects about classic motor homes but how about classic drivers. I was just reading another forum and someone asked opinions about the age of drivers. I know this must have been covered before but here goes. How old and how far per day, I'll start, can anyone beat my story?

I started driving a 35 ft. National Tropical gasser when I bought it new in 201 at the ripe old age of 68. In 2003 I traded it for a 2003 39 ft. National Tradewinds with a Spartan Chases, the difference was amazing. When traveling cross country I try to cover 400 miles a day. I'm a Korean vet with heart stints, otherwise good health. I just turned 85 last month and traded for a 40 ft. Canyon Star gasser. There has been a big improvement in handling and ride of the gasser since 2001. We will head back cross country in a month or so and I still plan to cover 400 miles a day, if I can do it without pushing too much. I have the advantage of having a much younger wife (8 years :B ) who is able to take the wheel when needed.

Age has little to do with physical ability. Everyone is different. I'm sure that there are some 25 year olds that could not drive a Class A safely.
I congratulate you for you abilities at your age an d wish you many more years to come.
I should add that I am only 72 years old and have no problem driving our Class A with a toad all over the country. I am also able to still carry a 200+ league bowling average with several 300 games in the last few years and I maintain an active pilots license.
I'll know when it is time to slow down. :B
