Of course its a strange idea, but then again we are caravanners! In the 26 years I have been caravanning we had towed 60872 miles not including this year. For an even stranger fact we have since 1994 paid £8284 in site fees again not including this year. I blame computers and spreadsheets!

We did, as I said 30000 miles in about 9 years, and never more than 2 trips per year!  But they were at least 2 week trips.  Usually 1 trip of 2 weeks and one of 3 weeks.  When we went further we took at least 7 weeks, latterly 3 months.(after retiring)

Yes, we like long trips in Europe!

We have been to the far south of Italy, and to North Cape in Norway with our last van.  All wonderfull adventures.  And loads of memories.

That is only recently.  We have been caravanning since 1971, but we never thought to record the miles.  Our first van was twice to the north of Norway, but otherwise just around UK.

My gas ring igniter has ticked 12756 times, and the rings have lit 1769 times.

An average of 7.21 ticks per sucessful ignition. (or 1.06 seconds)

I'm well pleased with that!
