Only been away one time this year - but it was for 7 weeks, in Cornwall, and including all that really good weather.
Now we wait until high season is over before doing it again - though for a slightly shorter time perhaps.

Once a month if we can for a weekend and then a few weeks during the year too, although not the past couple of months as I've not been well, but hoping to get back on track soon :)

We do on average 70 nights a year ... we are 52 already this year so will probably have a higher total for 2013.
Caravan from February till November ... try to do every other weekend .... plus as often as we can during school hols (I'm a Teacher).

We too are retired so can please ourselves. We usually have 2 or 3 trips each year, a total of 3-4 months, but this year is not going to be so good as we were late in leaving on our first trip.
So far we have had one trip of 64 nights, and we have another 16 nights booked in September.
We never go away for less than a week these days.

No where near enough done 7 nights this year on 2 trips and another 7 nights next week, if my wife didn't work weekends we would use it a lot more but I'm just glad in not paying finance on my 'van its sitting on my drive not costing me a penny, oh I almost fogot we did either 3 or 4 nights in February when we was having our boiler replaced as the caravan was warmer

About 5 - 6 months a years spread throughout but with June July Aug the time for long stays away. A few days each month in the winter is great but longer stays when it is sub zero temps are limited by clothes washing facilities and snow and mud conditions.

As often as possible to justify the caravan expense. This equates to at least 4 full weeks and the odd long weekend.

2011 46 nights, 2012 43 nights, concerted effort in 2013, in two weeks we would have done 45 nights and we've got another 10 booked so far so well on track for nearly 60 this year.
Takes a concerted effort though with work and kids.

We've been away for 4 nights at Easter (-6 degrees), for 1 night in May at a local site after my parents-in-law had used it for a fortnight, 4 nights in Shropshire in July (32 degrees), 3 nights at Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, 2 nights at the Silverstone Classic in July. Starting in a week or so, we'll be using it every second weekend to visit a terminally ill family member. It means we can be there, without being in the way, if that makes sense.

2015 - our 1st year of caravanning with a new baby. Can't wait! :)

, partly because we had a holiday to Florida at Easter but also cos hubby broke his collar bone a couple of weeks ago, just in time for the Summer holidays 
so we've had to cancel our trips.
