RV Owner Questions

[Rollnhome]

Just curious.

How long have you owned your RV?
What type is it?
How long do you plan on keeping it before selling it or trading it in?

Since may 2005.

It is a 30-foot type C motorhome.

Since it is paid for, I'll keep it until I decide a different type of RV meets my changing lifestyle, or until I have no use for a RV at all. Death of a life partner is a lifestyle change I have not yet sorted out, but we do not want to rush these things.

The RV could very well be replaced by something smaller, or someplace permanent on a lake, in a snowbird destination, an apartment in a European city, or a house in Provence, Tuscany, Transylvania or Hunnan, a flat in San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Paris, Prague, Budapest or Bratislava, or something on the side of a mountain on a tropical island. I'm not rushing it, I'm waiting to see what the children do with their lives and where my heart takes me.

FWIW, I don't get rid of things because they are old or something newer comes out. It is about needs changing. I have lawn mowers that qualify as antiques and use some inherited tools that are older than I am. That's really old.

Looks like most are in for the longhaul with the set up they have; unless lifestyle changes.

Purchased new in 07'
Holiday Rambler Presidential Suite 37RLQ 5th wheel
It's a solid unit, looks almost as good today as the day I purchased it....Will keep it until......

We also started with a popup for 5 years before buying the TT last July.

Like many have said, we plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off (mine or the TT's)

To quote Woody Allen, “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”

I have been RVing since 1990, started with a Lance Truck Camper, moved to a 26 ft TTrailer in 1995, moved on to an 32 FT Montana 5ft Wheel in 2008, Now in an 43ft Voltage Toy Hauler, This is it for me until I can't drive with it, 10 years? then will go back to a Large Truck Camper

Q: Bought mine new around Halloween of 2011.
Q: Palomino Puma 25RS. No slide-outs, and two reclining chairs.
Q: It has done exceedingly well, but I'm going to be trading it in for a small motorhome, just because the motorhome is far easier for "hop in and go" trips.

Q: How long have you owned your RV? A: Bought it new May, 2005
Q: What type is it? A: Class A: Damon Intruder 377W 3 slides 37'7"
Q: How long do you plan on keeping it before selling it or trading it in?
A: Until it falls apart or I am no longer able to drive it...and which will happen first,, based on how well it has taken the last 10 years...Is a toss up.

First tt was in 1998. Then a larger tt. Then a third - and far too large tt (37 feet long & pulled by a Suburban = 62 feet!), then 38 foot 5er (still too long!) and now a wonderful 34 foot 5er and long bed Chebby - has this since 2006 and will be our last one. How long? Not sure but no plans to give it up yet. Maybe 3-5 more years....depends on health mostly. Good now but .........

First One 1985 This one 2012
TH
Next one who knows...........

[ScottG]

11 years.
TT
It still fits our needs well, is in perfect condition and I could find nothing better at the RV show so we'll likely keep it another 5~10 years.

we've owned our current class A MH for 15-years, the one before it also for 15-years. we're actively seeking to trade it for a new class A within the next month or so. hope to keep that one for 15-years.

Owned an RV since 1974
Had them all at one time or another. (Except a popup)
I'll let my heirs fight over it.

[DutchmenSport]

Pop-up = 6 years
First TT = 3 years
Second TT = 8 years
Third TT = Have owned it 1 and 1/2 years now. Hoping this is the last one we'll ever buy. But ... you just never now.
