We’ve asked this question a few times, but it’s been a while since we asked it last. Since then, the average age of RV buyers has dropped. Even four years ago, most RVers were in their 50s and older. But today, RVs are selling fast to those in the 20 through 40 age group. Many have opted for living on the road rather than in one place. (We get it!)
The ability to work remotely is making this possible for many North Americans. Four years ago, before Zoom and employers who were willing to allow their employees to work from home (or anywhere), it wasn’t so easy to combine travel and work.
So, please, let us know how old you are. The results should be interesting. Thank you!
Out of warranty and few spare parts. One patch job on my heart.
I may be growing old, but I refuse to GROW UP! 70+
I agree with you!
July 16 2023 makes it 74 years since I escaped. Lol
Happy Almost Birthday (“escape”), Jay!🎂 Have a great day (today and tomorrow). 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
67 1/2 years young!
81 and proud to have survived this long. Am shooting for 100, only 19yrs and 11 Months to go.
So far, the under-50s aren’t showing up! If that remains the trend in the survey, it means that readers’ complaints about loud rambunctious kids, and younger clueless campers are likely falling on “deaf” ears! Lol
Yup! Just take out the hearing aids – silence is golden….
HuH? Say again?
Just turned 70 yesterday!
Happy Belated Birthday, Randall! 🎂 Have a great day. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
It’s not how old you are it’s how old you feel. Like death it’s a numbers game cause who knows when that number will show up. So in short go for it and don’t worry about yesterday it’s in the past and don’t worry about tomorrow it hasn’t got here yet.
i’m old (or perhaps, wise) enough too keep my age private online. 😉
Yep! my canned answer is “Nunya”.
I totally agree100%
I’m 57 years old and my wife is 55. We’re both ready to call it quits. My wife needs to work for at least 3 more years to get insurance until 64. She will see if the employer will help pay part of her insurance until age 65. Otherwise we chance it and go without insurance until 65. My wife has 3 more years working for a school district. My wife will be at the school district for 25 years.
At 79 I am mildly suffering from DIMINISHING YOUTH. I too have decided I may only have another 21 years. At that time I may select 2 more. The ‘O’ word is not in my vocabulary.
This attitude frees me of worry. I do not think about nor participate in ailment discussions. Maybe in 21 years.
1955 model. Most parts still work. HA!
In other word’s, just a kid
Which part?
Johnny Cash, “One Piece At a Time”.
I am 80 years OLD and proud of it. None of this 80 years YOUNG crap. Being a cardiac technician in my 20s, I set my “life plan” to live a heathy life style especially for diet and exercise. Breezed into my 50s, 60s and 70s with no major medical problems. Yes, 100 here I come.
Just turning 80 and I feel great, except for some foot problems. My wife is also 80. We are active and plan on RVing as long as feel like it. I lift 3 times a week, bicycle 12 miles 5 days a week. We eat healthy and don’t drink alcohol or smoke. Doctor says we are in the top 10% of people our age. We are not bragging. Mohamed Ali said, “if you have done it or are doing it, it isn’t bragging”. We’ve always like that statement.
People people let me alone. Yesterday I got a 60th HS reunion notice from my first HS. Today I got a phone call for the 60th at my second HS. And now relaxing at RVT I am asked my age. I felt a lot younger last week.
Growing old is mandatory but growing up is still an option
.
That’s true, Bob. And growing old is still (usually) better than the alternative.🤔 Have a good night. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
I may not be as young as I once was and I may not be as attractive as I once was….I forgot where I was going with this…
🤣 (I’m laughing with you, Mike, because I can relate.) Have a good night. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
You got that right!
I took this yesterday when there were less than 400 people, now at 2,000 the percentages did not change much
I routinely forget how old I’ve become until I attempt something that I routinely did in my 20s. Sometimes whatever it is goes okay, but often it doesn’t go quite as I expected. Avoiding mirrors also helps me forget how old I’ve become. 😉
Amen, the worst part of aging is trying to do something I routinely did 20-30 years ago, I now struggle to do or fail to do. Whoever coined the phrase golden years couldn’t tell the difference between gold and rust. Lol
Older than the first Lassie and Rin Tin tin.
