How many nights?
Not a contest just curiosity. Since the year is winding down or over for many of us I thought it would be neat to see. We usually average around 30.
This year in the pop up we did 22. A month ago we bought a used 23b and have done 12 nights in it. So we are sitting at 22. Maybe a third of our nights are “hotel”stays. Heck in the last month half have been due to a funeral and wedding. We are hoping to get one more weekend in yet.

I think DW and I got our for about 21 Nights combined this season. That seems to be about our Average. Looking to increase that in a couple of years once retirement comes around :-)

Our season ended mid-July, but we still managed 31 nights this year. We're generally in the 50 - 60 range.

We usually avg. about 130 a year.
This year is lower due to family illness, but this trip alone is 24 nights.
We still have 2 more trips this year.

I managed two nights this season in the back yard haha...
Of course I am down working on a new updated battery setup... Hopefully next season I will get back to my normal 3-day trips in style camping up on the Blue Ridge and SKYLINE DRIVE areas. Been a long stretch for us not heading out any more...

2nd season with our ‘16 26BH.
Early in the season we did two weekends at camp driveway for a total of 3 nights, then we completed 15 camping trips between the middle of May and Labor Day for another 40 nights, totaling 43 nights this season with a total of 2391 miles traveled.
Another great year! Can’t wait until spring!

Only 22 nights so far this year...not as many as previous years. We have a couple of weekend trips still scheduled so I'll probably end up around 25 or so for the year.

207 nights this year. Now I have to get used to the bed at home again. Also there's more upkeep in a home and around the home. All I need is a nice big shop on a lot to thinker in and an RV (can put it in the winter in the shop). Be a full timer, but the DW thinks different...........

How Many Nights
We have 44 nights. Purchased in 03/17. Our season will continue as we live in the valley in N. California and have year round access to the coast and lower elevation camping in Ca. Not having to winterize a camper is a huge benefit.

For the last five years we have averaged 365 nights in the Eagle each year. Don't miss our sticks and bricks a bit.

We have done about 80 days this year across 2 units. We have done over 60 days since April with our new 377. We had a travel trailer prior to that for the start of the year. We still have a thanksgiving trip to Arkansas for thanksgiving, and then our Christmas trip of Fredericksburg, TX, then to Carlsbad NM, then back to Texas for big bend national park, followed by alpine TX to see Marfa lights then back home. So I would say total time this year will be around 100 or a just a bit more.

We're sitting at 29 with, hopefully, two or maybe three more trips yet this year.
We've averaged about 30 nights the last three years. I was worried we weren't going to even sniff 30 nights this year. Weather wasn't too cooperative in April and early May, then work got in the way of planned vacations to Colorado and Arizona. But we moved up to a travel trailer from the Pup in September, which we're hoping will extend our season.

By the end of this season, we will have 48 nights. 15 boondocking. We really try to get out every other weekend and since I work for myself, we usually go Thursday thru Sunday.
