Utilization measure for class a use

Some responses.... We live in the MH about 85 nights per year, generally going north west, twice to Anchorage. There is no interest in the Hotel approach to travel, I did that for 20 years and really do not like humping bags. The 1.47 is a purchase/capital metric only. Gas usage for 7 mpg is .40 cent per mile depending on fracking success and the middle east. Northwest Canada it was 6$ a gallon. I target 35$ a night average campground and will pay 80 if I am tired or 6 in a national forest. Food costs are the same as with at home. Again why have metrics? Set direction and plan cash flow. This winter I have put six new tires, two front captain chairs, replace couch, air vents, awnings. Sounds like a lot, but its only 55cent per mile for this years usage. Good reinvestment. I applied similar metric analysis to a Hatteras lease versus buy some 15 years ago with the utilization factor being days away from dock. The lease option was magnitudes more dollar efficient to the extent that it fully supported first air fair to virgin islands when implemented each year. Good accounting data/spread sheets can be a useful underpinning for managing ones assets and if you like spread sheets keep doing them. I have found in every business that there is a short list of metrics for good control and as you are aware of them, surprises come less frequently.
