Annual Mileage??

[Spanks79]

We have owned the 31fs for almost a year and have used it a lot. Probably going to do 12,000 miles this first year and will likely do that much again next year. Just wondering what is average annual road miles for a class c motorhome with a Ford chassis? We use it to participate in motorsports events so it is a tool for us to go racing, lots of dry camping and generator time, only been in a campsite once and had electrical hookups a hand full of trips. So far it has been great with no problems. I am confident the drive line can handle the miles but I wonder what the long term toll of the bumps and potholes is taking on the coach itself.

16,000 miles in 2.5 years

We rack up about 3000 per year.

[WaltW]

6,000 miles per year

[Grumpy]

We averaged about 10,000 annually.

[NC Roamer]

About 8,000 annually but that will increase once I retire.

Being that the kids are young and can't do long hauls in the truck, our mileage is quite low in comparison to our nights camped. We generally keep our trips under 3hr of driving per day for now and set up camp for at least 3 nights. Probably tow about 3,000km per year. We have so many nice areas within an hour from home...

About 21,000 per year, but we rent it out when not using it.

Glad to see I'm not alone, looks like quite a few of you are rolling the miles.

I figure might as well use it for what it was intended, it's not like the value on RV's goes up!

[Midnightmoon]

My attitude with everything that I purchase is to use it as much as I possibly can, take good care of it, and just enjoy it. If I am lucky enough to live long enough to wear it out, I'll figure out a way to replace it.

Wear that mileage badge with honor. There's already more than enough RV's sitting around in people's driveways getting old sitting still.

I agree. When you look around you see so many RV units sitting in yards and camped out there on a long break. Nice to keep it shiny and new looking but my philosophy is they are made to enjoy and travel the highways so I try my best to do so. After all nothing in the Good Book makes the promise for any of of us for Tomorrow. So why not today if I can. I usually go between 8-10,000 per year and sometimes even further.

We average about 6500 miles per year. I agree with the others, if you own it, use it.

75,000 in 6 years, go man go

[javamon]

14.5k in one year.

We purchased our Seneca in the Fall of 2015. We are just about to turn 50K. However, this did include our bucket list item of getting to the northwest and completing our desire to visit every state. We didn't do them all in this unit, but it is what we have visited in 46 years of marriage.

I think we will settle in to about 15K a year.

A more surprising question to me is how many hours do people have on their generator? We have right at 800 hours and I didn't think that was unusual. I'm amazed how little some people use this piece of equipment.

We purchased our '16 Greyhawk 29MV in Feb '16. Thus far we have rolled 18,000 plus miles ....

We purchased Our 2016 Grayhawk 29MV in Nov of 2015 we turned over 18000 miles today
