we are 60 and 63 years old.  we have had our TM for 9 months now  and have put a lot of miles on it. we really love it and it is the best.  When we first got it we had to get aquainted with it and did have a few problem opening and closing it, but, with practice, its became quite easy. I have no problem with towing and setting up myself now (it is easier with the 2 of us though). the lightness, the size and all the comfort makes it worth while in the long run. ask a dealer to let you set one up a few times to see if you can do it. It does get easier the more you do it.   good luck in what ever type you buy.   betty
