    9 to 11 months usage

    6 to 9 months

    It’s sad, but I use mine about 3 weeks maybe 4 out of the year.

    We use our coach from just after Christmas to sometime in November. First part of the year we spend down south and we work from late May til November sometime up north. Go to our house for Christmas then head south again. I often question my wife as to why we keep our house in Wisconsin. Awful expensive to keep to store our crap and stay there 1 month a year and occasional weekends during the summer.

    Been fulltime for 3+ years. Found ourselves in the position of having & maintaining a place that we were only at maybe a month a year. Sold most everything (still have a storage unit for the things that just couldn’t be gotten rid of – but I’m workin’ on it!!) and we haven’t looked back.

    Peter,

    This may be too personal of a question, so feel free to ignore it, but what do you do that causes you to put on that many miles in nine month? I know you have a ranch of some sort, but I’m not sure if that’s tied to all your travels.

    I travel about 15K a year spending all your dues money. The bus was made to travel, the more miles the better.

    We use it about 30 times a year for weekend excursions and then take 1 or 2 more lengthy trips where we are gone at least a week.

    We live in it about 6 months in the winter and travel during the summer. About 8-10000 miles a year.

    We keep the house in Michigan just so we have something to spend money and time maintaining.

    Sometimes to family (about 2000 round trip)

    Sometimes just touring( grand canyon is our favorite)

    Ma got a new knee this year……..put the kabosch on travel for a while.

    Plan to take off the weekend of May 9th……going south of Little Rock to see family.

    I just love to drive the thing! It has a motor!

    Live aboard and we usually move once per week for work. We have averaged right at 15,000 miles a year in the bus for the last seven years. We have had no house for nearly 13 years but we do have a barn now, Yay!
