How many nights in 2013 did you use your TC?

Can't find where to put up a poll on this board, but wondering the following:

1. How many nights in 2013 did you use your TC?
2. TC owned all of 2013? If not, how many days?
3. Employed F/T, P/T or retired?
4. Improvements scheduled for TC in 2014?


We've had our rig for 231 days in 2013, camped 48 nights for a usage percentage of 20.7%. Both DW and I are employed F/T, but feel the investment was worth it and plan on increasing the use in 2014.

Lessons learned: Should have got a TC years ago and factory mattresses last 47 nights, new memory foam replacement on order.

I only used my camper for a little over a month in 2013 Main reasons why are the 6 months of snow and one month of bug season. Need to plan more trips in 2014.

Very poor excuses.

It's don't think its important how many nights I use my truck camper to you... but you might need to keep up with yours. Why do you need to know who works and who is retired?

You are asking info that most of us wouldn't answer if someone knocked on our front door and asked the same questions.

What are doing with the data that you are collecting?

The last time I put too much info in one place on the internet I got a lot of offers of condos and security systems. Even some hang up phone calls....

I have been very open about the fact that we have spent 1032 nights in our TC over the life of the camper.

I'm surprised that people answer much more than that, or even that much.

Most of us do trip reports in past tense.

No offense
