Just wondering how many nights on average do you younger couples with kids use your fifth wheels on a yearly basis. MY family uses ours about 20 -30 nights a year and just curious.

That's about what we have done in the past.....hoping for many more nights this season when our new rig arrives.

20-30 is a pretty honest answer - and sometimes even those days get threatened by job, weather, illness, family issues, even breakdowns. Makes it a pretty expensive hobby doesn't it!

We generally take ours out 35 - 40 nights a year and driveway camp in it every weekend! This year will be less because I got a new job and have to accumulate vacation time.

About 20 to 25 night. I wonder how much that might change with the fuel prices?

Old Biscuit, he said "younger" couples. I'm young, but I'm 71, and I can spend as many nights as I want to. 
Semi-"retarred" in 2006. :-) 2008 Newmar Cypress 5th wheel, 2008 Dodge diesel dually to pull it with.

We average about 40-50 nights with our 4 kids plus 10-20 nights where it's just the DW and me. We store our rig in our backyard and plugged in 24/7 so it is ready to go on a moment's notice. We already dewinterized/rewinterized 4 times this winter so we have a dozen nights under our belts for this year. We have a 10 night trip planned for Springbreak and a 15 day trip starting Memorial Day weekend. The rising cost of gas won't have much effect on our travels since we have so many places to camp within an hour or two drive.
