Looks like 80% of members here bought a motorhome before they were 60, now that has got to go against the public/Jeremy Clarkson perception, that most of us wait until we are 65 before we buy a motorhome.

Ralph,

I started 7 years ago when I was 67 and the only reason I got started was my grand children got fed up with me asking the to look info up for me.

It has given me a new lease on life, I'm not very mobile and the computer has opened up a whole new world for me.

It's been a very steep learning curve . I'm thinking of getting my 97 year old mother started so we can chat on Skype
It's a lot easier now we have the lap top, coping with a Turkish key board was a night mare.

Don

Old - 67 years young, that me!

Age is a state of mind, and motorhomers are some of the greatest young people we've ever met.

There must be something about motorhoming that keeps us all young!

How very true! I am constantly amazed at the "elderly" people I meet with MHs who are anything but elderly!

Don,

I saw the picture of you at the York Show and I don't believe you. You don't look a day over 60
