Wow, 18 years

I just did some calculations and figured out that we have spent an equivalent of 18 years camping in our present motorhome. How do I figure? I figured the average camper; well above average maybe, camps 62 nights a year. The calculations are based on 2 weekends a month, plus 14 days of vacation time a year. The calculations are - 2 weekends equals 4 nights a month (Friday and Saturday), times 12 months, that’s 48 nights – then 2 weeks vacation a year, that’s 14 nights – plus the 48 weekend nights equals 62 nights a year. Got that? Now we have spent 3 years fulltiming, that’s 365 nights times 3 years equals 1095 nights. Now take the 1095 nights we have spent in our motorhome and divide that by the 62 nights a year the average camper spends in their motorhome and that equates to 17.66 years. No wonder our furniture needs reupholstering. The rest of the motorhome has held up quite well. And better yet, so have we!

This also brings to light another though. 62 nights a year hardly seems worth the cost of owning a motorhome (sorry to bring that up). We sure have got our moneys worth though.
