Age of TM owners?
As you get older you find wear and tear on the body forces you to give up doing something. I have wondered how long I might keep using the TM and what age people are that have one. At 67 I am hoping I have a good many years left.

38 here... The 3326 is my first camper and unless I win the lottery and can afford a huge dually truck and a fifth wheel I plan to keep my TrailManor as long as it lasts!

31 here. I had a feeling I was the youngest! Interesting to see the spread once more people vote.
We have a carport which limits what will fit. Needs to be a popup so that leaves us with tent trailers, Hilows or Trailmanor. For what you get we went with TM.

Suspect most had something else than found TMs. I had a small class A then decided the TM had more room and did not need a Toad.

Oooops...you forgot to enter your age in this poll Padgett.
Now I don't understand this statement, can you please explain...did you mean they had something else other "than" a "found TM"? What is a "found TM"? Is that like a TM that an agent has "found" or discovered for the first party who was looking for a TM?
OK, as to this poll, I'm 66 years old and I love my TM! I can open it up with no problem by myself...however with two folks working it does go faster.

Pretty sure that Padgett meant "then found". But I'm also pretty sure that LNT123 knows this.
I also would be surprised if there were many TM owners that didn't previously own a different camper. It's not something I think of as a first time camper. I personally owned two different pop ups prior to my TM. Each time was a step up.

Shane, looks like you forgot to vote in the poll!

I posted a poll along the same lines a while back. It will be interesting to see how, if any, TM ownership ages have changed.

I did vote. "Then" is correct. Actually my first camper was a VW Westphalia (sleeps two friendly adults, one not so friendly adult, one midget), a Bethany Teepee, a LittleGuy teardrop, and the Vixen RV before the TM. For a while the Teardrop was a "second bedroom" for the Vixen.
After two years think the only trade I would make would be for a 2922SD.

47 y/o here. Wife and 3 very young kids (oldest is 9).
Had my TM for just over 2 years now. I have used it somewhere around 9 times including a trip from NE Texas down to Walt Disney World (Ft. Wilderness) and even farther south of Orlando on the Gulf side. The camper is the perfect size for my family at present. I seem to get a lot of "check that out" looks from people when they first see me pull into a site that turns into immediate amazement after I "deploy" the camper.
BTW, this TM is our first travel trailer/RV.
