Just curious to what age where you when you bought your first R.V...I was 27 and bought a pop up...37 now and got a TT

32 y/o when we bought our first PUP in 1988. Prior to that, we borrowed my parent's tent camper (canvas top PUP). We've now had two PUP's, an HTT, and now our sig TT ever since...

This is a fun thread! I am 34 and my husband is 37...we went right from tent to TT. We did rent a TT last year though. 🙂

We thought we were in heaven at 28 years old and off the ground with our new baby and POS popup.

I was 30.

We were expecting our 2nd child and needed to upgrade to a larger tent or... we ended up getting a Scamper pop-up trailer. I wish I had logged officially how many miles we pulled the Scamper. It went throughout the Rockies, the East coast, and across Canada. Some of our best family memories happened with that little RV for the 18 years we had it.

Once our last daughter was in college we went from the pop-up to a hybrid TT. When she graduated we went to a TT, eventually to a 5W, and then last year to the 5W we now have. Our two kids have long since been grown up and how have their own pop-up and a TT, and are creating their own memories for their families.

Man that awesome to hear stories like that...Some of my funniest times were in a tent or a popup picking music with my girls at night...

I was 40 when I bought my TT, but up until now used mom and dads 14foot 1970 Aristacrat, or a verarity of tents. THe wife and I use to backpack quiet a bit until we had the kids. I can tell you going from mom and dads to my rig was heavenly as I actually have space to change my mind, and mine is not that big.

We started out tenting at 25. At 40 it was time for a pop-up. Then 6 years later a 30' TT. Now a 35' Motorhome. Just got it this month and we love it! But I remember starting when I was 5 years old, my dad would hitch up the 15' Shasta and we would take off for 6 glorious summer weeks of National Parks! Every summer (folks were educators) we got to see the US, Canada, and Mexico from a succession of Shasta, Kenskill and Airstream TTs. I was even our state representative at the Airstream Teen Queen pageant in Louisville. Does that count?

When we were 24 we took our 1yr old Daughter with us on a camping trip with our tent. After one night of thunderstorms and a flooded tent we decided it was time to upgrade. A week later I actually bought 2 pop ups. Found one in the paper for $800 so I went and looked at and bought it. The next day I'm driving through our subdivision and here's a guy cranking one up in his front yard. I was just curious so I pulled over and asked him if he was putting it up for sale. 10 minutes and $350 later I was pulling it home. Called my aunt and uncle who happened to be on the same camping trip a week earlier with us and sold them the $800 one.

My first "RV" was a canoe and a tent. I still have them.
We bought our pop-up when I was 50, then to a HTT, and now the TT. All paid for when I took them off the lot.

Does a Volkswagen bus with a bed and ice box qualify? Sixteen years old.

[sherpaxc]

22 bought my first pop up
27 bigger pop up
31 small TT
33 current TT.
All used, all excellent condition, all cash money.

Well. Last year we bought a Winnebago 2003 one slide out but nice. Took to lake mcconaughy, that's where our life changing decision was made. We came back to Fort Collins, told our government Job's they are gonna have to run the country by themselves because we're starting a new adventure! We know a couple fulltimers and they encouraged us... So, we traded in our 30ft 1 slide to 40 ft 3 slide and at the end of the year we're on our way 🙂 oh to answer your question Husband is 62 I'm 57 😉

Just after I turned 27, we bought our toyhauler (in sig).
Just after I turned 28, we bought the 'new truck' (in sig).

Before the toyhauler, we spent many nights in the backend of a short bed truck with a cab-height camper shell. Saw the sights of Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and more sleeping in that truck... It sure was fun!

I was 44 when my wife and I got our first popup. Have always had tents... Sold the popup couple of years ago and now have a very nice TT with tons of room at the age of 50. We absolutely love it..The popup and tents served their purpose.
