My answer is five. A 19' Class C, a 30' travel trailer, a 35' fifth wheel, a 33' Class A gas and our current Vegas, which is a Class A on a Class C chassis. All that in a little over three decades.

We started out with a pull behind and quickly traded it for a Class C and then FINALLY this year traded up to a 2019 Class A, my new baby a Hurricane Windsport 29M. So, either two or three depending on which definition you use for a Recreational Vehicle.

Ha! I didn’t count my 1960 Rambler with the front seats that folded back into a huge double bed. My college car that I “camped” out of - mostly at the drive-in.

Longevity as a member and number of postings

I thought that it had a lot to do with age and/or maturity...

I believe the forums picks your "level" based on the # of posts you have made.

Two,
1) 1985 B+ by Coachman on a GMC 3500 Van Chassis. The boys liked it because it had a toilet. We called her "Big Momma".
2) Our 2016 Vegas 24.1 We call her "Ms. Enterprise".

The forum deems you "Senior member" after a certain number of posts. Has nothing to do with maturity or wisdom! If it went by age, I might qualify for "geezer!"

My amended list :
1. borrowed 19' travel trailer
2. 20' Class C
3 30' trailer pulled with a conversion van
4. 35' fifth wheel with a 4x4 3500 Dodge Diesel
5. 33' Class A gasser
6. Current Vegas 25.2

I won't separately count the conversion van, although it had a rear bench that folded into a bed. It doesn't count cause I never really camped with it. I have no stories to share about that van.

1. 1995 former Health Department 33' trailer.
2. 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 RWD Cummins 5.9 manual 6 speed (best towing vehicle ever).
3. 2006 Wildcat trailer 29'.
4. 1999 Premier Park Model. (at Del Pueblo RV in Yuma).
5. 2006 Sun Lite Box Camper.
6. 2007 Enclosed utility trailer to hold our motorcycles.
7. 2004 Jayco Jay flight 23'
8. 2012 Denali 289 RK trailer (Best trailer we ever owned. We were warned to avoid rear kitchens. Glad we did not listen)
9. 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 with tow package.
10. 2008 Trail Lite trailer 23'
11. 1999 Jeep Wrangler
12. 2010 Jayco pop up tent trailer 10'.
13. 1999 Thor Hurricane 29' Ford chassis V-10 ( Our current unit and upgrade hobby)
14. 2008 Forrest River car dolly.

Took us a while to get to the motorhome world. Spent 3.5 months touring across Canada in the summer of 2018 in our Hurricane. Other than a seized a/c compressor on the chassis it was very reliable and comfortable for two.

Hmm, does sleeping in the back of a 1969 Rambler station wagon with 3 siblings, a dog, parents up front and a baby pottie chair count? It had a motor and a toilet....ahhhhhh, probably not. But my hubby & I did have a tent, then a pop up, 24' trailer, 28' bunkhouse trailer. I always pulled the trailers with our Suburban, with 2 girls & their friends, a dog or 2. My hubby would meet us at the campground with whatever boat we had at the time. We spent a lot of nights sleeping in boats also. BUT, now is what I hope to be the best time yet with our new (to us) 2013 Thor ACE 30.1!! [emoji2] [emoji2] I can't wait to use it.

I owned a tent trailer for many years back in the early 90's. Bought my first motor home in the summer of 2015 (Winnebago Class B). Traded it in in March 2018 for a Thor Siesta 24SS class C. Just got back from a 5 week southern state trip from Ca to Florida, Virginia and Kentucky before coming home in Ca. Went about 6700 miles in it.

First was a very small PoP-Up that i pulled with my Pacer Wagon.
Upgraded to a 21 Foot Mini Winnie.
Then sold it to help pay for my daughters college.
Went back to a large Pop-Up with a Shower and Toilet.
Wife said no way, traded in for a 30 Foot Southwind.
Then upgraded to a Diesel Pusher, when that needed a new roof, traded it in for a 30 foot Granite Ridge.
Then traded that in for a newer 32 foot Sunseeker, really liked that camper.
When i finally retired, the wife and i decided to shrink down to our present 2019 Freedom Elite 24FE.

And this will be the last camper i purchase since i am now on fixed income.
