Calendar Event: Age of Podders Posted: 30 Jul 2013 at 8:21am |
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.

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.

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;">

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

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.

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.

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!!
