Part Time vs Full Time
Here's another poll to help identify the demographic of our members:
How many days do you anticipate spending in your trailer/motorhome this year?

P.S. "Not Enough" isn't an option!

Going to try and shoot for at least 25 days between May and October. We've got a long way to becoming fulltimers...

Hopefully, we'll be fulltiming by the start of summer so I'll say 180+ days.

Part Time vs Full Time
I am hoping for more than 60 days in either the Airstream or Argosy this Summer, but at present I do have 58 days planned. I am still trying to make final decisions about which excursions will be in the Overlander and which will be in the Minuet. If the Cadilllac works out as a tow vehcile, the Minuet may get a little more travel as I really enjoy touring in the convertible.
Having the freedom to travel durning the Summer is one of the perks of being a teacher in a rural public school district, and it is one that I really appreciate.

Days in rig
Hi,
We are 365, and lately with the cold weather have been 24/7! We're making the most of our 34.5 feet and loving it. We left NH in Nov and have been in GA workamping at a place called Enota. Anyone considering this please contact me privately! Our experience with workamping has been positive for the most part. The GA gig is our second and in May we are returning to NH. In between we will be taking r & r in So. Florida. We have heard a lot of horror stories about workampers, everything from passing themselves off as more skilled than they are & causing expensive damages to thievery and violence. We have also experienced some poor treatment from campground owners, long hours with no breaks, being overloaded while coworkers have the life of Riley, gender bias, (men only do dirty work and lift heavy objects, women only work in offices and do housekeeping). If you are willing to work, cheerful, honest, know that your socks go on before your shoes and can afford to work for peanuts you will go far in the workamper world! It's not for everyone, but we hope to buy a campground in the next 2 years, ($$ in the stockmarket) : , and look at all experiences as learning. Plus, you get to do pretty undemanding work and live in beautiful places.
Ciao!
Eric, Tina and Kierstin

Somewhere on the west coast, maybe No. California or So. Oregon. We were out there 2 summers ago and loved the area. Are you interested in buying a campground also?

Not buying, we have 52 lovely acres in South Carolina that would make a beautiful park, but off the beaten path and not too sure how successful we would be.

Me too!
There is 145 undeveloped acres across the street from our house, beautifully wooded with some open areas. We ask the owners every 6 months or so if they will sell some or all of it to us. They keep saying NO!!!. They live in Florida during the winter and spend the summers up here. This would be an excellent location for a campground, right off I90 East of Cleveland. All of the neighbors are afraid that it will be sold to a developer and made into a big housing development.
It would be a real nice to run our campground in the summer and retreat to Southern climes during the winter!

Looks nice. The site say in 2000 the never broke 78 degrees in Georgia! I know we had several days in the high 90's that year closer to Atlanta. Might have to check it out this summer to beat the heat

Man I can't wait to get out this spring. I have total cabin fever!
I want to get out about 30-45 days this year. Kind of ambitious with a full time job, but I have a ton of vacation. ;-)
Regards,
Eric

Interesting to see how much time members spend in their Airstreams. I bought mine to turn into a mobile office/living quarters. I'm a professional motorsports photographer and spend of lot of time on locations from March through November.
When I land a gig shooting all the AMA Superbike races around the country I'll have to make sure I stop by some of the Airstream owners' parks discussed in this thread.

Last year I spent a total of 9 months in my AS while on a traveling assignment. Having my trusty AS with me allowed me freedom to go and see so many places. Eventually I would like to spend most, if not all of my time on the road!

I don't think they live in the Georgia I know! I've seen temps get to 105!

That resort is high enough in the mountains where the temps probably are cooler..78 might be a stretch for the high in the summer , but maybe. I also saw a new Rv resort in
the mountain area when we were up there skiing in February, can't remember the name, but it was right on the North Carolina border. There was a 345 parked there when we drove through.
