Ouch, that stings!
So after 2 years of of research, I am about to take the plunge and pull the trigger. I have a few loose ends to take care of first. The biggest hurdle is my wife. One moment she is excited and on board and the next she's questioning our age, which by the way is 64. I workout in the gym 4 days a week. I figure I have 12-15 years to enjoy before I head to the pasture. I keep telling her that we will probably be able to sell it for more than we paid for it when the time comes. When we first got married we went camping throughout Wisconsin in a pick-up truck and camper shell. Then kids and sports came and that went away. Part of the reason I'm doing this for the grandkids, ages 5-1/2, 3, and 2-1/2. I want them to enjoy the outdoors like I do. We met with Sean Dempsey for over 3 hours and my wife asked a lot of questions and she seemed to be onboard. When we left I treated her to an overnight in Cedarburg, WI. I thought she was sold. This is where I need your help. Judging from the many reports I have read there seems to be a number of you in your 70's and going strong. Any words of encouragement would be welcomed. I'm sure that there are spouses amongst you who questioned traveling in a pick-up and sleeping in a camper in the beginning and are glad they let you talk them into purchasing a camper. Have at it guys. When I see you on the trails I would be glad to buy a beer.
