Why wait? The wife and I had listened to many people say the same thing, only to find that when they retired, they:
1) Couldn't afford to buy one
2) Weren't able to use it due to declining health
3) Bought one and then found they couldn't afford to use it
4) Had too many other things to deal with to use it
We bought a 26ft camp trailer back in the fall of 2013 and started using it in March of 2014. Since then, the only states it hasn't been to yet are:
1) Alaska
2) Hawaii
3) North Dakota
4) Minnesota
5) Wisconsin
6) Michigan
7) Vermont*#
8) New Hampshire*#
9) Maine
10) Rhode Island*
11) Maryland*
12) Delaware*
13) New Jersey*
14) Oklahoma*#
15) Florida
16/17) The Carolinas*#
18/19) The Virginias*#
20) Maryland
Not too bad, 30 states in five years, something that we probably wouldn't have done if we had waited until we retired. Needless to say, many of the states the trailer hasn't been to the wife and I have. The only states WE haven't seen are marked with a *, the only ones I haven't seen are marked with a #
