We always keep a caravan log book to write down all our tours, and to make notes on the sites we enjoyed and the ones to give a miss to next time were in the area, we also keep a tally of how many nights we have spent out in the caravan since we bought it, and in three years of ownership on 5th July this year, we have completed 21 weeks, but we would have probably done a few more if my OH had not been ill in 2010, as this season, April till October we are hoping to complete ten weeks in total caravanning, but thats because we are lucky enough to be retired and have the time to do so.

Our trips out do tend to be more extended stays in the same area, 3 weeks in Norfolk coming up, and 7 nights in Conwy just completed, we are UK only caravanners for health reasons, and normally stay within 200 miles of home.

We did sell our last caravan about 12 years ago due to lack of time to use it, and fast growing teenage girls who no longer found it cool to be shareing the same sleeping space as mum and dad!  it was only after we retired that we returned to the Hobby, although we did do some tent camping inbetween.
