Someone give me a shake. We (I) bought our Argosy last July and we have only spent one night in her, and that was parked, as you see it, in the driveway. It has spent the winter in my brother-in-law's barn since November and I am going down this weekend to have a look around.
We have booked 3 nights in June at the Pinery Provincial Park and have plans for 2 other trips this summer. I (we) need to get out more.

I should hope it's parked! Some places won't let you stay in the trailer while it's moving!
Yes, I know that's not what you meant, but I couldn't resist.

Right now, I would say my hubby spends every non-working, waking hour in the Airstream....so eventually, we can actually spend some time in it actually CAMPING!

Third week of full timing in my 27' AS to see if I can do it. The last few years the S&B has seemed more and more like an albatross around my neck, Fri. I took the last load of junk that wouldn't sell to the thrift store, it will sit empty this summer until I get back from AK in Sept (or Oct or ......) and get it ready to rent or sell.
I am officially "Tire Trash".

We have more camping reservations and trips planned than I can keep up with.
I will try to keep an accurate count of nights spent in the trailer in 2014.
Not that it matters, but it will satisfy a curiosity.
Really it's just trivial, but I want to know ...

53 nights and counting so far in 2014. I love this Streaming life - why didn't any of you tell me about it a long time ago?

Atomic apparently lives in his and Scamp apparently needs to get out more often...

I simply don't want to go home!
Chopping firewood, mending fences, dealing with a well, and all the tresspassing meth cookers on our property make a nomadic life really desirable!
Airstream living (for now) is time well spent.
11 nights? The year flying by.... what are you waiting for? Good weather?

12 nights, now...
We are weekend warriors.
We still work.
We still have a stick and brick house.
I wish I could talk my wife into selling the place and living full time in the trailer.
I would love to get out from under property tax, insurance, utilities, upkeep/maintenance, and yard work.

We do a mix of travel styles. We try to get away for at least one weekend a month, except in December and January which are both busy and cold. That's when we do our catch-up maintenance.
We spend 5-6 weeks every summer parked near my husband's parents. It's the only time we get to visit them and they are both 90 now. So he works his job from the trailer over a DSL line. Not everyone can swing that, I realize. We have to wait until school is out since I'm a teacher. My job just wouldn't work as well over a DSL line.
We spent, I think, 66 nights in the trailer last year, enough to know that we could do it for months at a time. We're not ready to give up our house, though - too many tools and hobbies.

I would imagine that the second tow vehicle, a Peterbuilt, attached to a 45' long trailer modified to be the shop and most guys would be ready to full time.
