Finally made it to 100 nights in our TC. Took almost four years. We have enjoyed every one of them . By far the most enjoyable camping we have ever done and we enjoy it more in the TC than any other type camper we have ever owned. I may never be able to catch up with "Sleepy" though.

Congrats. It took me 2.5 years to make the 100 night mark, but managing to exceed my 10%/year goal. Until I retire that is.

Great reading this thread!! Thats getting use out of your stuff!!!! A bit more room would be nice, but the trade off is being so mobile and able to camp almost anywhere. I doubt I will ever fulltime it, so will probably never have a need to take my "house" with me,,,I think a lot of people totally under estimate what a truck camper is like. (Now where did that lil rant come from?)

We've camped 149 nights in our Northstar which we purchased in October 2007. Hope to use it lots more after retirement next year.

Good Job! It's fun to read everyone's timeline but the important thing is that you are enjoying your time in your TC.

I made my 100 mark about 100 days after I bought mine; that was about a year and a half ago. I've spent nearly every night in it since I purchased it. Lost track exactly how many nights that is but it'll still be a while before I catch up with Sleepy too I've been to some amazing and beautiful places with it that I probably would have never taken the time to go see with out it. Tonight is suppose to be below zero with wind chills of -20 or lower; just another great night in the TC though!

I slept in my motorhome about 345 nights in 2010, and getting close to that number for 2011, I think I will do more this year than 2010.

Ive got about 90 total night's in a TC in general, but this new one not many. Im a full timer, with a few issues latley that havent allowed me to full time. I expect that after the holidays i should be right back at it again.
