How old are we in the RV community?

[Kirk W]

I'm going to try and keep this so that nobody has to admit to their age if that bothers them, but I'll be first and admit to mine, and Pam says it is OK for hers as well. I just turned 74 and she is some 15 months older than I.

 

That in the open, if you don't mind it would be nice to get some feel for where we all are as I think that we are starting to see more of our younger, still working members which is in my view, a very good thing! The poll doesn't have a lot of options, so we will only allow two votes for the person posting as there is no other way to put in a spouse. I considered making it 5 year increments but only 10 choices are allowed. While this isn't scientific, if we all play along and try to keep things accurate, it should give us some feel for how old/young we really are.

 

Thank you for playing!

I'll be 69 years old come December. That makes me young enough to do it and old enough to know better. We'version been full-timers since 2009.

[sandsys]

We're both 69 during this half of this year. But, we are no longer RVing.

Yay, I am first to the 30-40 bracket, and my DW is the youngest so far!!! :-) Though most who know me will say I act 1/2 my age, so there is that.

 

I've been active on this forum since 2012, wonder what it'll be like in 50 years......

Great to have your input! I suspect that there are others who hang out with the X-scapers but don't spend much time here. Wish that there were a way to bridge the gap but I do understand the reason for the other group as I can remember when I would have been a part of it. It sometimes isn't easy to get comfortable in a group that is mostly folks of your parents age! Our RVing kids rarely come here either, even though I work on them.

 

On the RV in 50 years, it can be interesting to visit some of the retro RV groups and see the restored RVs from 50 years ago. While the comfort and technology have changed a great deal, the basics are still pretty similar. I see that same thing in the market for tents. That might just make a good topic for another thread, if you are inclined to start one.

Old enough to know better and too old to care!
