Man, you are some interesting people! I just retired last year and turned 70 a few months ago. My wife just turned 65 and she is also retired. We have been RVing since 1981 and are now in our 7th motorhome. Mainly weekenders and vacationing a couple of times a year. I had thought that retirement might enhance the travel situation, but it hasn't yet. Eleven grandkids keep us close to home (they are all within a couple of miles of our home). But I still have dreams of packing up one day for a real cross-country trip to someplace other than a trip to visit family close to where we used to live. And I will continue to enjoy every moment I can when we are camping!

65 and wife 64. Retired for 3 years and living the RV dream. Ontario in the summer and AZ & CA in the winter. Used to be boaters, but should have switched sooner.

The old man is 70 and the young wife 65. Retired 6 years ago and never looked back.
Been RVing since 2001 starting with a 22' Winnebago Rialta to test the waters, moving to a 24' Jamboree "C", then a 35' Coachmen class A we had for 14 years before downsizing to the current Class C again. Towed a 2001 Ford Ranger, then a 2006 VW Beetle convertible, and now a 2008 Jeep Wrangler X 2dr. All base plates installed by me with the Jeep being by far the easiest to install. Looking forward to exploring even more of this country as well as Canada in the coming years.

The husband is 64 and retired last June, and I am 59 and retired in December. We are enjoying our retirement by traveling as much as possible. We started our travels back in 2016 when we bought our Vegas. We are still waiting for somebody on the forums to plan our first annual reunion!

Was a full timer with husband. Now as a widow, on the road 6 months at age 73. Always had wanderlust. Can’t seem to shake it. Love the lifestyle! But now I have “stuff” again—you know, a house with furniture, stuff on the walls, a piano. So, not as free as before. I miss it. If you can do it, go for it!

I'm 55 and have been retired for two years. No S/O at the moment, so I do most of my travels alone.

I’m 72 and retired, as is my husband. I camp with my horse in my class C 24 footer. I love driving and now I am looking to upgrade to a slightly bigger RV.

I am 68 and I got to retire at 58 due to a bad back, I am single and use my 2017 25.4 AXIS to pull my bass boat to the river area near Yuma Arizona, I spend Fall, winter, spring and a few months of summer in a BLM campground, 2 weeks in and 2 weeks away, If I ever decide to do some serious traveling I will go with something bigger, I have flown my oldest daughter and her family out from Florida and we all spend the two weeks fishing, now its their turn to entertain me when I fly out some time this year,
