How much have you used your bus this year ?

Strangely, I think I used my bus for more camping this year than last year - a total of 10 nights.
Dubfreeze , Keiths Field, Techenders (3 nights) , and two additional 2 night trips.

On top of which I have used it as an office for 8 hours of work on every day I have been at work since March 17th when I went home.
Even on the two days when I have turned up at the office for face-to-face contact with some equipment, instead of hot-desking in the office on my laptop, instead I worked in the bus in the works carpark.

It does mean though that a lot of maintenance I should have done was left for next year.
All the same I did weld up a hole in the cab floor, replace the roof vent, resite the solar panels, fit downlighters and drop the engine to re-fit the fuel filler hose to the tank.

Next year - offside front wheel arch, deformation panel, front valance and bottom half of front panel.
Bottom of sliding door needs doing as well. I think I will have to find and rent a unit to get it all done.

 

2,549 miles this year. Only 2 camping trips away to nearby Weymouth and Kimmeridge Bay due to COVID. We've hardly left Dorset at all to be honest.
Plenty of usage though, out 2-3 days a week.

 

Few days in Pickering as soon as we were allowed, then 3 weeks in Dorset and Devon plus a few days in the Cotswolds.
Upped my mileage to 7k for this year and done less than 2.

 

Lots more this year. Usual odd weekend and a week in the lakes then a week in Yorkshire. Partly because we didn’t go abroad, kids do their own things and we couldn’t organise things with friends and family

 

0 nights.
It's been a shed on wheels and the occaisional supermarket run.

 

Dubfreeze and that’s it. Pretty poor really.

 

Camped once in it, but have had lots of long runs in it covering Derbyshire, Staffs ,Cheshire ,

 

Just think of all the fuel you haven't had to spend ....have fillet instead of rump ,no cheap plonk go for Chateau neuf du pape ...Isle of Islay instead of Walker's it goes on Bern

 

Four nights on the way to France, eleven nights in France, one night on the ferry each way, that doesn't count, but was still part of my holiday. Four nights at the Beach Gathering on the August Bank Holiday, one night at Elie, one on the way to TE and four at TE. Probably a couple of thousand miles all in.

 

Many days out. Camped zero nights. Great summer. Gutted. Covid. Can’t wait for next year

 

Two 1week trips and one 3week trip around Tuscany.
Trips around the valley.
Moved house with it.
Used it for transporting our garlic crop.
Cleaned in out many times.

Going to use it through winter.

 

Driven it very regularly but the only camping was Keith's field and Techenders - very frustrating especially given the generally fine weather over the spring and summer. Hopefully next year will involve much more camping, we've already decided to not even bother with thinking of overseas travel for a year or so.

 

2 weeks int lakes and works vehicle for around 3 months earlier in the year. Rusting away on the drive now!

 

Very few...

1 night camping in the back lane which was great fun

2 nights at Feral Farm with @Baysearcher and his crew whuch was great fun

2 nights in the New Forest with bro and sis in laws and their crew which was great fun.

Camping=great fun. Just not many nights away this year. Makes you wonder about flogging van and getting a tent...

 

Wash yer mouth out....

 

Nearly ever week for fishing plus the occasional shopping trip so quite a lot

 

Not enough , maybe 15 nights but saved a small fortune
