I'm over 300. Trying to make or exceed 365 in 2022.

The 4x8 I had from May 2012 till March 2018 = 174 nites - total of 29690 miles of travel = $2655/$15.26 per nite average cost.........
The 5x8 I have today was purchased in March 2018 = 159 nites so far - total of 24485 miles of travel = $2578/$16.22 per nite average cost so far......

Note: these $$$ totals for overnite stays were the cost for each campsite - some were 'free' ones camping out at friends along with a lot of US Forest Service - State Parks - RV parks - KOA's, etc........

It's been a year today since we pronounced Ol' #1 campable and set out on our first overnighter.
I didn't count the trips!
But I know I've camped at Lawrie park at least 4 times, Yongala Pub at least twice, Melrose once, the old quarry at least three times, the crossing at least twice, Bowman Park twice, Auburn once, my mate's farm once.
About 16 times in a very confused Covid-19 new reality year.
Planning to do better next year. Interesting point - average cost would be about $5 night. Some were free camping, some straight up paying, soe what is know as a a "gold coin donation".

Hmm.. We started traveling in 2017 as I retired. That Brough us to an average of 4 months each year following.. Last year was less due to truck rebuilding time so that should make it ~540 nights give or take. About half that in the latest version of the camper. ~270 odd nights...

We leave Monday Jan 3rd for the 1st run of 2020!

Ha ha ha. Let me clarify. I am up to just over 300 nights sleeping in the rig. I hope to add to that for a total of 365 nights on a trailer purchased in Jan 2015. But living in the trailer for a year is a nice thought.

Glad you clarified Cosmo! I'm thinking if one picked a leap year, and made creative use of time zones, went to bed early on New Year's eve, perhaps 367 days/year at most? :thinking: :lol:

We're at 56 nights for our teardrop finished in April. Would have been adding to it right now, somewhere in Southern California, but the covid surge encouraged us to stay home and clean up the workshop. :cry: On the other hand, we're camping vicariously by watching your, and others', You-tube videos. :thumbsup:

With the new trailer we've been getting out at least one weekend a month (once a month club) but this month has been backyard camping/ testing of the Dickinson wood stove.

Backyard, driveway and mooch'docking are all legitimate for the count. If sky is overhead its legit.

The wood burner choices are looking good. My friend did a video segment on his wood burner.

On my first camper we used it for 4 weeks. The van, camper #2 we have been in it for 11 weeks.

So that's a total for 28 days for camper #1. 77 days for camper #2.

Probably at least 200 for me, with 2016 being when it was first campable. Half of those would be that first year when I built it in the driveway. It was the year I developed GERD (silent acid reflux), which made me snore like crazy until I got it figured out. For several months there I was sleeping in the trailer at night because the camper mattress was WAY better than crashing on the futon in the house!

Maybe it was a typo and "2022" should have been "2024". The next leap year will take place in 2024 when there will 366 days in the year. :thinking:

I have no idea. It's been over 10 years. I simply enjoy it. That's what you're supposed to do.
