How old when you got your AS?

[featherbedder]

I started a thread about age when pur. 1st. AS, still continual owner and still going without help doing every thing your self and present age. at that time I think and still do that i'm oldest in US. As I started at 29yrs. old when pur. SA. & now 82. This new thread is basically my past thread. Maybe mods can consolidate the 2. Prior to pur. AS. In early teens on ground then in back of station wagon then tent then SOB so been around awhile never with parents, by myself until marriage now have wife that also likes camping.

As a young married man with three kids in tow...it was a lifelong dream to one day pull an AS across the country with a "blue" Suburban. Since that time there have been tents....a truck slide in...another tent...a truck camper top over the bed....more tents, a "pop up" ....more tents off the back of a motorcycle...and now finally at age 74...there is beautiful 2016 Sport FB22 sitting at the bottom of my hill nicknamed "Milley". She is in fact towed by a "blue" suv...but in this case it's a 2016 Ford Explorer Limited. The kids have all grown up but now....it's the Grandkids that get to enjoy our travels.

That's what drove me to get a trailer early in adulthood. Too many camping trips as a child in an old canvas tent in Florida. Of course my parents decided the best time to camp was summers. Yet me grandparents were always close by in their airstream.

We purchased our new to us 2011 FC28 from CanAm one year ago yesterday. Both my wife and I were 52. We are not using it enough yet but looking forward to many future adventures.

First Airstream, 73 31' Excella.
I can't remember exactly when, but around 1995.
I was in my early 40's.

I was 35 when I bought my first Airstream, but I was only 6 days old when I first camped in one!

[Airstreamer67]

I was 43.

[Mikeyman]

I was 29 when I bought my '78 last year. I hope to have it forever!

My wife and I are both 25. We just purchased a 2005 Safari LS bunkhouse model and can't wait to start traveling full-time with our two little girls. The oldest is 2 years old and the youngest is 2 weeks old!

Happy travels everyone

60 - After 35 years camping mostly in pop-ups. Time for more creature comforts. Retirement's on the horizon. A few years to practice. Current work schedule gives 1 week a month for traveling.
