Although I'm probably not typical I'll chime in. I've spent the last four years mostly working on my Newell. I've done a fairly extensive "restification" that has included gutting and rebuilding most of the interior walls etc. and is close to complete. I do indeed gain satisfaction from just working on the coach. Actual traveling/camping has probably averaged 2-4 weeks a year , some weekend trips to events (car shows, antique sales etc.). The last, and longest was a 2200 mile two week trip to Maine in October. Usage will increase as I get more of the work completed and our work schedules allow. Since I completed my Newell barn last year I use the coach as a break room coffee bar when I'm working outside or in the shop.
