At 90, Still Rolling, Anchorman Mort Crim on RV Life, America, and Aging

As he approaches his 91st birthday, legendary broadcaster Mort Crim proves that curiosity and adventure do not retire.

Last summer, while in the middle of a cross-country RV journey, we caught up with Mort as he traveled America in his Class B Winnebago Travato with his cat Groucho. That journey is now complete, and in this follow-up conversation in RV Podcast Episode 578, Mort reflects on what the road revealed about America, aging, grief, and healing.

Mort shares how seeing the country firsthand, through campgrounds, small towns, and everyday conversations, gave him a very different perspective than the one often portrayed in the media. He also speaks openly about how RVing helped him work through the grieving process after losing his wife, providing space, movement, and purpose during a difficult season of life.

Now, with that chapter behind him, Mort is already making plans for a busy 2026 RV travel season, proof that living small and moving often can keep life expanding at any age.

This is a thoughtful, deeply human conversation about resilience, perspective, and why the RV Lifestyle can change far more than your address.
