Use of your RV

[simonsrf]

In 2006 when we started fulltiming we had 92 days.

In 2007, we had 365 days.

In 2008 we had 358 days, had to take a 7-day vacation.

In 2009, so far, we have 48.

And as of today, we have setup 148 times and taken down 147 times!
(yes, my wife is a data base analyst, she loves this stuff)

365 or 366. Even if we take a short trip without the Monty, it is still hooked up and "in use".
Happy trails...........................

11 months a year (Work full time but on Oil and Natural Gas pipelines across the country)

[jpkelpe]

two months in Florida and then the Rally in Goshen which would be abut 12 days we were in it along with several 3-4 day weekend trips--probably about 100 days total.

54 two season's ago and 43 last season if you don't coun't count a week in Fort Wilderness where we rented a cabin

[adelmoll]

365 days a week for the last four years. We've traveled to Alaska, Mexico, Newfoundland, Florida and several times across America for an average of 22,000 miles a year. This year we will still use our Tana 365 days but maybe only travel about 12,000 miles. Unless of course the hitch itch gets too bad.

Not enough! Run about 45 nights/year. Both working full time. Do try and use it some for work. Stay at State Park campgrounds, work daily sales routes from the Monty. Saves big on hotel/motel bills, and you can throw a fishing pole in somewhere pretty easy after work.

Adelmoll: 365 day week -- whew -- you have got to be one tired couple!!! (had to comment -- there are weeks that seem to take forever since we are still working full time but I can honestly say I've never had one seem to last that long!!! )...

Blessing to you all!

2 weeks per month for the last 3 1/2 years. Zero miles except for the times it was towed to the dealer. I live in it while I work in Canada and then it is home to the stick house to work from home the rest of the month.

[adelmoll]

skypilot, Time goes fast when you're having fun. LOL

[hookman]

We did approx. 70 days last year. We had 2 holidays totaling 30 plus every second weekend from Apr. through Sept. then at least once a month Oct. to Apr. We also take every Canadian long weekend usually taking an extra day on the long weekends. We are planning a month in Arizona next winter.

[RC and Samantha]

We started full timing on June 19 last year and with one other weekend last year we spent 202 days in our Big Sky during 2008. This year we've totaled 49 days and by the grace of God we'll make 365.

We've had the rig since late October of 2002 so we only managed to get in one day that year. If my calculations are correct we averaged about 42 days each year between 2003 and 2007, 3 weeks in July during GM shut downs with added vacation time, a week at the Fall Rallies and several weekends. Miles for each year were around 5,000.

365 wonderful days for 2008!!!!

Life sure is good.

[8.1al]

It's good to hear from you Patty.
Put us down for 365/yr.

[sgtpp214]

I am curious David and Jo-Anna, where did you stay the 366th day in 2008?

[rubble express]

Due to some family illness that took up some of my vacation time, we were only out 32 days last year. In 07 we managed 44 days. In March of 2011 I'm done working airplanes and we plan on setting out wherever and whenever we please so who knows? Can't wait!

[kwolff7]

We do a pretty good job using ours considering we have a full time home and summer homes. Last year we vacationed in the Montana about 65 days and drove about 10,000 miles and John took his Attitude Toy Hauler to Montana to rebuild a home and stayed in it for over 2 months. I could easily live in the Montana full-time but have not chosen that lifestyle. We tend to go north in the summer because of the heat in AZ.

[2golfers]

stayed in relatives homes while monty was set up in park about a total of 14 days last year, so 366-14 = 352

[Wschep]

Last year we were in a 25 ft TT from April to Sept and loved It while working full time..THEN we got the fabulous fifth wheel Oct 1 and stayed in it till Dec 1. This year will be MORE!!!! Can't wait!!!!

[CasaDelSol]

We probably average between 35 and 50 days a year. Still working fulltime, but plan on full time or long time RVing after retirement next year. We don't travel far. We stay at Fort DeSoto Park in St Petersburg, FL often because it is only about 30 minutes from home. Also go to Thousand Trails outside of DisneyWorld because that is about 1 hour from home. We haven't had the chance to travel far, but with great destinations so close to home it isn't necessary.
