How many trips?
For those of you who are still working full time and have a family and busy life, what is the average amount of trips you take a year with your TT? I'm just curious. We'd love to take more but we seem...

When we first purchased our trailer we took trips that were long weekends of 3-4 days duration. During our first couple years we would probably take around 10-12 of these per year.
Then we started to venture out a little farther from home. We would take fewer trips but the trips were longer in duration, around a week.
The longer trips were good and not as rushed, but I only have four weeks of vacation per year. I need to camp more than four weeks per year! So this year I have reached an agreement with my employer to reduce my work schedule. In addition to my four weeks of vacation I will be taking an additional four weeks of leave without pay. There will be eight weeks of camping in 2018! We will not drive across the country on a multi-week trip. The agreement with my employer is that I limit the extra time off to one week at a time. This is fine because most of the trips will be within our home state of Oregon.
So, as beginning campers we started out with long weekend trips and now we have advanced to eight one week trips during camping season!
