Curious to know how often you use your camper, van etc per year per trip. I know this can vary but on average. This is not camping with a swag etc but using what we all have bought.

The poll is to see how often you do individual trips no matter how many nights as most people will do 2 nights to 2 week trips.

Members who are traveling around Australia can vote option 9. (Lucky People)

You can change your vote.

Only had it since October last year - have done 3 trips so far and now planning the 4th which will be the biggest. Other were 'shakedown cruises'.

In September planning to do a 5oookm trip to western vic, southern SA and then to Flinders ranges returning via Broken Hill etc.  Had the camper serviced today to make sure in good order - new bearings, brakes and cables, suspension greased.

How about an option for not nearly enough!

My grand plans were ruined when SWMBO found a job she liked! I was hoping that we might have done a bit of touring when she quit her job and I'd take my long service, perhaps I should have told her that plan! Oh well, we'll get there one day  :D

An estimate would be ok. The poll could have 100 options but its just a guide. Put down what you think would suit you best.

We're probably lucky as there's a niece, nephew & ourselves, all with campers, who take it in turns to select a destination once a month.

At least once every month. Depending on the season / weather etc, maybe twice a month.

We have had our camper for 5 years, it has not been on more than 20 camp trips - pretty bloody poor realy.
We started off really good and were using it on average once a month, but as the kids become teenagers, everything gets in the way, the kids have weekend jobs that they need to be driven to, there are music practice and concerts.
The camper has not moved since October last year and will not move till October this year....
We reckon we have about 3 years until all the kids can look after themselves - then LOOK OUT!

We have had ours since October last year and have used it 6 times already and another go the weekend before the June long weekend so I should be on track if all the plans for future trips are good another 4 planned plus a couple weekend just for the hell of it trips.
Don't complain! It could be worse, you could be six foot under or a brick of ashes!!

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.

My apologies I should have mentioned its the separate times you use the camper. No matter how many nights you use it.

As mentioned people on the road can vote no 8.

The poll is to see how often you do individual trips.
