we use our 4 weeks of vacation and then some "sick days"for camping if needed. We split them between one 10 trip and as many weekend trips (some Fri-Sun and some 4-5 day trips). Also mix of some family, some friends and, some alone trips.
Never seems like enough, but have to return to work to earn more time!

We went nine times for a total of 27 nights. This year I will keep a journal so we can keep up with more details. There are about 75 CGs, state, national, and regional parks within a 100 miles of us so we usually don't go the same place twice in a year. I also plan to use the TT on some of my business trips this year instead of staying in hotels. We will start earlier this year so we expect about 15 trips and about 50 or 60 nights. Can't wait for it to warm up.

DW & I were out all, except 2 weekends (most were 3-day), from March 21 to end of October. With vacation time it totalled over 70 nights in the motor-home.

Lots of golfing, hiking, and biking, etc.

Man I thought we did a lot untill I read this thread.

We did 9 trips, mostly 2-3 day trips. One 8 day trip to Niagara Falls and back through Lancaster, PA. For a total of 28 nights.

But I think we did well for our first year with our own rig.

Don't know how many trips (over 10) but camped a total of 43 days in '07. Including a week each at Grayton Beach FL, Kirby AR, and our annual trip to Garner SP TX. We are repeating those trips this summer -- we liked them all so much!

We were able to fit in 9 regular trips and about 5 work related camping and 1 family reunion camping trip. Mostly in the California Redwoods area.
