We are just weekenders and don't have time to go out every weekend. So far this summer, 12 nights with 6 more planned. Not very many...

There seems to be three main groups:

The weekend warriors: Doing almost every weekend plus maybe a summer trip of a couple weeks. These people are still working & have kids lives to work around.

The extended travelers: This group is retired, or able to work on the road. They are high milage people & do 100 plus nights a year but still call a house somewhere home.

The fulltimers: Says it all. These are homeless vagrants that everyone strives to be. Home is wherever the RV is everyday of the year. Easy for them to count how many days a year they use the RV. All of them.

We love being homeless vagrants. We worked most of our lives for it. Since we've been on the road, we have met quite a few people who previously full timed on a sailboat. Talk about the best of both worlds!

After we travel the US for x number of years, the people we have met, and the stories we have heard, make the sailboat fulltiming a distinct possibility in the future.

I only know we do over 6 months each year.

no RV notebook, nothing

I keep a notebook of gallons of gas and odometer readings. My fuel gauge quit when it had barely 10,000 miles on it. I haven't run it out yet. (knocking on wood)

"Lighten up?" :h Sounds like a reasonable question to me. I don't keep track, never have, would always like to camp more than we do but "life" always seems to get in the way. It is what it is, we go when we can, some years more so than others. So what? :R

Another I don't keep track, no need to. I go to have fun. And no I don't keep any spread sheet of any kind, no RV notebook, nothing

I don't etch the headboard either,, But we do take pictures while camping and keep them in folders on the computer,, So for me I just went to "Camping 2016" And remembered the trips we took and the nights we spent camping,, Not any secret information given, Some years the Camping file is bigger,, this year not so much!!
If you don't want to tell how many days you have spent this year in your camper,,,,,,,,"Sit This One OUT" What ever!!

As before in different threads,, If this bothers you to answer,,,,,,,,GET ANOTHER HOBBY!!!

I don't get the "are we supposed to keep score" comment. Seems to be an objection to the post? Why?

[Jayco-noslide]

I'm estimating 120. That's snowbirding in Jan and Feb. a 3 night local outing and about 2 weeks to North Carolina and Ga. Hope to leave soon for Grand Teton and YNP for another 20 nights.

Scheduled for 34. We usually have approx. 60, which I always feel pretty good about considering we still work. Too expensive for a lawn ornament! But family commitments this year have us tied up during some of our usual travel times.

Glad to see so many enjoying so much!!

I find this thread interesting even without the snarky comments. I like to see how many of the replies are full-time and how much others used their RV.

Embarrassingly few. 2 at the Pocono Raceway, 2 at Hershey. Headed to the Promised Land in October for another weekend stay. But...the rig makes a great guest house. I've had friends and family spend more nights in it than I have. I use it as an office, too, when I work at home (too many distractions in the house). I do wish I had more time (and money) to take it places though.

241 & counting!
Oooops make that 239! Miscounted!!

Yesterday, while out boating sitting around on a shallow sandbar sucking up appropriate boat beverages (beer, same as RVers), we were doing the same comparisson. In our boating days we were doing something around 40 nights a year. We lived for getting out on the boat.

The reality for most boaters is that they might get a total of 15 overnights a year. Have to wonder why most even have a boat. Such a hassel to load then unload after only a night or two. Load the car. Drive to the boat. Unload car. Walk forever to get boat loaded. Do a pile of things that must be done before the boat is ready to move. Do all of that in reverse when you return.

Most RVers have it easy. Directly load the RV at your leasure right outside your house. Hook up & off we go.

For us it takes a full day of air travel & sitting around waiting for the connection then an hours shuttle bus ride to where our truck is. However we do a minimum of 2 month long trips.

Up until April probably 20 or so. We left home in May and will be back early November or late October. We will take off for a week or so in November then again in December. I haven't counted them up. But we have spent several.
