I got to thinking the other day about how folks use their coaches. Some live full time and only move with the seasons, some are out almost every weekend, others don't move theirs often at all. So...how many miles are on your coach?

Several 250 mile trips a year, a couple 500 and one larger. With six girls my wife and I want to get out more but have lots of commitments. We hit the county, state and federal parks while visiting friends and family as much as we can.
I would love to make it to a rally if we can line it up.

176K total, 27K since new odometer/speedometer and 7K since complete engine rebuild. We have had 289 for almost 5 yrs now & average about 10K a year. At current rate we can catch 409 in about 200 years.
