My nextdoor neighbor just turned 90. He sold his fifth wheel last month. Everyone is different.
I spend every summer in Montana, its been 4 years now we had a 90th birthday party for a guy from Indio, Ca, a fellow fly fishermen . It was also his 40th year on the same RV site in this small RV park we are at in SW Montana. He has since given up Rv'ing . He quit coming here, but left his RV in another RV park here in Montana instead of towing it back, and forth . He spent last summer, but then decided it was time to quit . He is now 95 ,and stays home in Indio.
Another man we know ,this was several years ago, same RV park , he was 92 still towing his Rv , I was having a conversation with another older gentleman ,that was probably close to mid 80's ,again still towing a fifth wheel from Las Vegas. I said to him ,that guy could have a heart attack while towing ,he looked at me ,and said ,so could you . That ended that conversation :) That particular guy that said that ,decided at 89 it was time to give it up towing from Las Vegas.
At nearly 74, I don't see any reason yet to quit this life style, but I do know that day will come, and I hope like a few I have known here I will make that decision at that right time ,and not push it beyond my capabilities .
It appears for some 90 is the number , we can all hope.
