This is a question for everyone. Being a person that is up in age but still healthy, what is the oldest full time person you have met.

Most of us around here seem to be 60's and up,.

I have heard of someone in their 90s still being a nomad. They may have had a S&B home base, though.

hi new guy among other new guys
i got a cargo van, chevy express, a la bob wells. i was worried it would be too small, etc,. inside.though, it seems good. on the outside, it's the biggest thing i'm comfortable driving........ altho i have trouble backing up still, due to the huge blind spot if you look over your shoulder, to your right. (my van has no side windows). a truck would've been great, to go way back, but i didn't want to spring for a totally non-stealth camper, which would've been a pop up. who knows, maybe i'll end up looking again at that. suv i'd imagine would be too small for me, also stealth seems like it would be a huge pita. a cargo van w no side windows seems like stealth would be about the easiest. i still haven't fully decided on whether i'lld do stealth. my cousins got a deluxe sprinter -- that would be wonderful, but no stealth, and so it would be like a mini-rv. i felt the size difference (for driving) between it and a cargo van would have been noticeable. i could be wrong.

i'm 64, and though i have a variety of physical issues, i'm thankful for still being able to poop in a cat hole.

good luck!

My post was meant to reply to the OP question about what vehicles we're good, pros and cons. Hopefully wasn't to verbose
