Last year was just over 130 nights under canvas.
Every 2nd weekend for at least 3 days, usually 4, with a few 10 day trips thrown in.
Would be more if we can rid of this thing called work.
You have the life!
Don't complain! It could be worse, you could be six foot under or a brick of ashes!!

Travelling Australia at the moment - have set-up/packed-up 43 times in the last 20 weeks, only have another 30 weeks left.
In a normal year we would camp around 10-12 times p.a.

We get out in the camper every second weekend, occasionally life gets in the way and we might miss a fortnight. Paid too much to have it sit and gather dust.

Lots.

We try and incorporate into the kids sports as well. For example when my boy plays footy at Mullumbimby, we go down Friday arvo and stay at Brunswick Heads or Byron for the weekend.

What a top idea  :cup:

SWMBO only works part time so we always thought we would make our own long weekends and just get out. But we let life get in the way too much. Maybe when the weather starts to improve I'll take a few Mondays off and we'll get out there again.

We would spend 20 plus nights under some sort of canvas a year when not doing a big trip.

Last year we would have spent over 60 nights under canvas....good year last year ;D This year has a long way to go so who knows what big trips may arise ;)

We try to get away about 10 - 12 times a year from weekends to a couple of weeks. Would love to get away more.

Not nearly enough.  Sometimes I hook it up and just go around the block, come back and open a stubby!!

We've used our camper twice a year so far, but we never planned for more than that really.

For a simple week-end away, we use the ol floating camper, as its set-up and ready to roll and we tend to use the terra firma  camper for the time we go to Fraser, which we try for twice a year.

Because of work being season based (Lawnie), the warmer months are too friggin hard to get away on.

I DON'T CARE HOW NICE THE HAND SOAP SMELLS.....

We average 15 nights a year currently. The average has dropped a bit in the last 12 months.

We like to get away at least once a month if not more!

It's just a great way to get away and relax!

We (or rather I) aim to get away twice a month with a view to at least getting something every 3-4 weeks at a minimum. Nothing like a Friday & Saturday night camp to feel like you have escaped the rat race.

This year we are doing well! Currently at 9 trips for the year for a total of 16 nights. We are heading away again this weekend so that will see my goal met YTD. Other than 5 nights at Easter it is all weekenders.

I'm feeling a little inadequate now :(

We only get away in the camper around 4 times per year, though admittedly, one of those times is usually an iconic one ie: the Kimberley, Uluru, Cape York, the Outback etc... ;D ;D ;D

Adding up is too hard. 

When the other half retired, we decided we would go camping every second weekend (inspired by kit e kat).  Didn't quite work out, but we have done a lot of time under canvas.  Less so more recently, but a biggie coming up soon kinda balances it out.

I'm clicking 7 + because a rolling average would be about that.   Reckon there should be brownie points for challenge level - eg Simmo, Cape etc.

I think I have 'lived' so much more since Charles joined the family. It is amazing.

Big Damo

Got the camper in march and done 1 week trip to Renmark, weekend trip to Claire valley and planed a trip Meningie and Robe for October so guessing it will balance out about 5 trips per year.
As we are new to the camper trailer lifestyle I hope as our experience grows we may increase our use.
Happy camping
