Interesting question. I will be 70 soon. We have thought about full-timing but ruled it out for a variety of reasons. Not directly related to age but sort of, indirectly. Right now we are both healthy but I have had heart valve replacement and I know we could face a variety of age related issues in the next 5 to 10 years. I don't like to think about being "on the road" if there are serious health problems. Also no way of knowing how long I will physically feel like messing with the 5th wheel, etc. Kind of wish we had done it when I retired 12 years ago. We do still RV for long periods but we know we have that "home base" with friends and some family to go back to. I don't think you can put a specific age on the issue but you might think about whether or not you see yourself doing it 5-10 years from now.

Yes: If you are in your 50's like me, it is too long to wait!
&
No: If you are already 70,you can do whatever you want as long as you want to and are healthy and wealthy enough.

Amen !
We may only have a coupla more years due to health & limitations, but will nonetheless enjoy having our own place ... even if we have to go somewhere warmer in winter (short trips back & forth).

Lived in Wisconsin and when you see the 70 and 80+ year old farmers still plowing, planting and bringing in the hay and corn from dawn to dusk and then milk the cows 24 7's.......is a constant reminder that you CAN do anything you want to, and BTW keeps you fit to do so!
