We are weekend warriors. 3 kids, 1 dog, and our TT sits at a storage facility when we aren't using it. Of course, in FL, we can use it pretty much any time we want - there's no "off season" here. However, the kids play sports on Saturdays for a decent part of the year, we have the dog - which complicates things, and I'm sure there's more justifications I could find to not go camping and sell everything. But that's just it - we value the time away from the house, the friends we have made, and feeling like we have all these short mini-vacations that we find ways and excuses to GO.
However, if we were always at the same spot, that might get a bit old after a while - unless you *really* liked that spot. We can be in a State Park one trip - on the water, in the woods - or we can be at a "glamour camping" resort the next - poolside with a drink - or some variety of the above - all depending on what we feel like doing that trip. Maybe that's what you need - some variety. And now, with a brand new TT, some of the improvements over the old one make it much less of a "burden". For example, I still am amazed how much less time is spent deploying the awning now that we have a power awning versus a manual. It used to be a minor ordeal of 10 steps and making sure that no one came out while it was being done - and retracting sometimes didn't work right away, etc, etc.. Now one button and done in 10 seconds. Ahhhhh... That much quicker to the fun times, and that translates directly into more willingness to hook up and go.
