How many nights in 2013 did you use your TC?

[CAJW]

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.

1) 48 nights in 2013 spread out over 19 glorious getaway trips.
2) I owned it the whole year.
3) I work full time.
4) Not much I can do to improve usage until I retire. I go about as often as I can. I feel blessed that my wife lets me get away as often as I do. She does not share my interest in camping in the Colby T. She has only spent one night in it. She did surprise me and say she is joining me on a trip in January.

OOPS! Didn't read the whole thing for #4

I plan to do the lubricating mod for the black tank valve and replace a few things that have broken or worn out due to harsh summer weather. One example is the black tank valve pull handle. Another is the fresh water drain spout.

I didn't keep exact track of how much we used it but we took it on a 2+ week vacation with over 5000 miles. My guess is that we camped in it about 30 days total throughout the year.
