My wife are both 48.  This is one of many campers we have owned started with a popup for 10 years with the kids and dragged it all around, switched to a 30 foot trailer seasonal in a camp ground when they were teens and we running them around to activities, now we camp without them so move down to the pod but feel more at home with this than any of the others.  we also have a Lance Truck camper and also several vintage campers have come and gone.  One day i will find the right vintage camper and refurb to what we want..< ="cosymantecnisbfw" co="cs" id="SILOBFWID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;">

My wife and I began camping about 40 years ago, gradually working up from pop-ups to a 34 Class A motor home with 2 large slides.  We bought our 2010 173 in June, after taking a 6000 mile trip to the Southwest in a slightly larger travel trailer.  I am 74.

49 for me and 47 for M.  This is our first camper we have bought, but both of us grew up camping (me in tent, popup trailer and truck camper, she in 5th wheel).  We did a lot of camping earlier in our marriage, didn't have an opportunity to for a while (those were the years we owned a boat and spent weekends out on the lake), and started camping again a few years back.  For us with no kids and just Comet to tag along the Pod is the perfect size for our weekend-to-weeklong trips. 
At some point down the road we will probably step up to a slightly larger trailer, but that is years away from now.
P & M ... and Comet too!

Mother Goose..58 and me at 59 have had the POD for 3 years now. It is the first travel trailer that we have owned but pulled a ski boat for years when growing up and when first married.   Goose

We were 32 and 33 when we bought our Pod, now 34 and 35.

Tent camped together for 14 years before we finally graduated up to the Pod.

Hey, at the young age of 74, surely I am not the oldest old coot on this Forum.  Where are the other old-timers?

It looks like we are on the younger side of the mediam at 38 and 31 with a 6 month baby girl and a 5 year old 4-legged beast. This is our first camper.

Our first camping experience-ever. We bought a used 2012 177. Husband is 74, and I am 70. Went to Mississippi Palisades state park for 2 nights. Went fairly well. When we got there, I messaged our son(who camps) and said our site had electricity, but no water. No one ever told us we should get water from the hydrants throughout the campgrounds!  We are the "greenest" of beginning campers.
