1976 when I got out of NAVY bought a F250 Camper Special with cabover camper
It was my first 'home' as I transitioned back into civilian life.
Went to college, met woman I ended up marrying. Had to buy a house first 
We used truck/camper for several years then went to popup, TTs then 5th wheels
Camped as a kid.........station wagons/tents
Now am 65 and looking back guess I have been camping one way or other for dang near 63 yrs....seen pics of me at 2 sitting in the dirt at a camp site eating watermelon

My husband and I have only been married since 2000. We started that year with an old Six Pac camper. One trip in that and we moved up to a great cabover camper. We had no intentions of getting anything bigger till a friend had a beautiful Keystone Challenger fiver that had only been used twice! We snapped it up in 2007 and then traded it in on a new 2016 Montana. My hubby is 75 and I am 68. I think this may be our last RV but you just never can tell!

I picked up a 25 foot class A When I was 38. I was sent to another facility to help turn them around. Unfortunately it was 12 hour shifts and a 3 hour commute each way. So I bought the RV to stay in while down there. I stayed in it almost a year.

I was 28, it was a 15" travel trailer. I towed it with either a 65 Bonneville or 59 TBird.

Age 36. started with small used class C, then larger new class C, new 33 foot Georgie Boy class A gas, and finally Our 40 foot diesel. Have loved and at times hated all of them. Great way to go with the family.

Age 45 when I bought an 02 Four Winds 31Z Class C. One of the best things I have ever done. I now find myself going to a lot of different places that I don't think I would have gone to if I hadn't of purchased it....
