I started keeping a log book back in 2011 when we purchased a new camper. Wish I started years before. I keep track of the towed miles of each trip, nothing more technical. The main reason is to keep track of the stories and the good times. Everyone on the trip is encouraged to write in it. It will be worth gold to us 20 years from now.
My parents purchased a cabin up in Canada in 1969 and started a log book. There are more than 4 volumes of the book now. When I went up there, it seems that I spent a large amount of reading the old entries, and looking at the occasional photos taped on the page. Sometimes with a tear in my eye. It seems like the guests who have never been there do the same thing. My folks sold the place last year, but I have the books, and my family will read them again, and again, and again. I am grateful that my dad had the motivation to write in in it every single day they were there.
