42 - it was a 20 year old Winnebago Itasca Sunfler. That was 13 years ago.
I still look at old rv's from the 80's to see if I can spot it. Wonder if it still lives and drives.

41. After a year of trying to buy a small-ish class-c and failing because other buyers were quicker I found a 28' beast on Craigslist out in a rural town where no one else was going to find it.

55 ... it was an "emergency" because our TT had been in the shop for six months and we had a paid campsite reservation coming up and I didn't want to lose the $120.00. Go figure. \ken

38 years old, in 1993....it was a pristine 1977 Coachmen President 24ft Class A. Had a ton of fun in that thing. With a 454....talk about a gas hog!! But I put a lot of miles on it, and never had a minute's trouble with it.
Kept it for 3 years, and traded it for a brand new 1996 31ft Holiday Rambler Vacationer, that had just arrived at the dealership, that day. I remember it even still had the factory plastic on all of the carpet, furniture, and front seats, when we took it out for a test drive. Thought we had died, and gone to heaven.

38 back in April when we jumped into the deep end and bought a class A DP as our first motorhome.
It's been one of the best investment in our family adventures that I can ever imagine making!

I was 39.
We'd been looking for a used small Class C, wife scared to drive larger.
One week saw ad in newspaper of a local dealer auctioning inventory. Went to see what they had and ended up bidding on and winning a new 31' Class C. Wife was out of town, didn't have a clue until I called her that night. She was ecstatic.
Kept that one for 11 years and then bought our current coach.
