Calendar Event: Age of Podders Posted: 29 Jul 2013 at 7:56pm |
Just curious. We're getting ready to buy our first camper (R Pod 178). We're 66 and were wondering about the age of Podders.

Well I will be 64 in September and Donna will be 62 in Feb. we bought our first camper 2 plus years ago, a 2011 RP-172. We are still working but working on an exit plan. Right now we are into 1 to 3 nighters within 1 or 2 hours from home. so far so good. I think we could do 2 or 3 weeks if there are things to do nearby. We like to walk or hike (slow) trails and campgrounds. We try to maybe do a short day jaunt nearby the camp site and see the sites, take in a little lunch. so far so good. If I want recliners, fireplaces, big screen t.v. I will stay at home. We like the small quaintness of the Pod. the quality and workmanship for the price is great. Go for it and have a blast like we are.

Dallas and myself are both 41, we just bought our 2012 / 177 in June of this year. We live just outside of Charlotte and so far we've been to the mountains (Fancy Gap Va) and the beach ( Surf City NC). We love our pod!!

We were 36 & 37 when we bought ours 4 years ago, now 40 & 41. The average age of podders I've seen tends to be older, mostly post-children. Not all of course, with some in their 20's and 30's, and some like us, have children.

We were 33 and 35 when we bought ours last year. I've always assumed we're some of the younger podders out there. We also have a 17-month old daughter who pods with us.

This question was asked on the Lance trailer forum and as here it got a lot of response. I am 58 and my wife 54, the r-pod is the first camper we have owned and camped in and we bought it new in the beginning of 2009. On the Lance trailer forum a man bought his first trailer at 81 but in the past he has had truck campers. David and Danette
