Husband and I are both 49. We spent 8+ years camping with two boys in a pop up trailer. Due to work and sports schedules – camping became more difficult the last couple years. Last year we made the decision to sell the pop-up – bought the R-pod this June!! Oldest son has graduated college and is working and supporting himself; we had to say an emotional good-bye to the youngest son on Monday as he left for Marine Corp boot camp (hardest, saddest, most proud moment of my life – so far!).   Although we’ve been backyard camping since June our “official shake-down” is this weekend.  Looking forward to the distraction of thinking about the black tank and hot water heater – and not the roller coaster emotions of being empty-nesters!!

I am 49 and the hubby is 51, we sold our Jayco travel trailer three years ago and tented until we knew exactly what we wanted which was a new 178 that we got this April. Our kids are 20, 23, 25 and 28 and we all camped together this past month, thank goodness for the Rdome.

Pam, You and Jack may be the oldest so far, but looking at the other posts makes this forum appear a lot like Codgerville, USA--us included! Our second youth is good, huh?Big smile
LOL  Not too far behind you.   husband is 74. I will be 71 next month.  Never ever camped before. All new to us.   i am much more enthusiastic about it than my husband! I have never towed before, but may have to learn. not going to let it sit in driveway! Told him today that if we were not going to use it, we should let someone else enjoy it!
