Phil & Cathy, you asked how your mileage compares to other fulltimers' mileage. Our first year we put almost 30,000 on the Montana. First year. Then we slowed down. We took delivery of this Montana at the end of August 2006. My log shows we've towed it 27,777 miles. Like you two, we tend to stay longer in one place and try to really experience things most tourists never even know about. We're finding our current (temporary) mode of touring a section of the country while staying just one week per location is just moving too fast. We may slow it down and come back another time to see the rest. And, of course, we're adding many things to our 'next time' list. I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your travels.
Adding up the miles we've put on our trucks since we started fulltiming the end of March 2003, it comes out to very close to 244,000 miles. That includes everything from towing to sightseeing to grocery runs. The 2007 Dodge has accumulated fewer miles since new the first of June 2007. It is just short of 62,000 miles. But for about 12 months of that time we had our car with us and drove the truck only to keep it lubricated, as Rich called it.
