How Many Miles are ya'll logging on?

Discuss with others about towing. What is the best tow vehicle, hitches, brake controllers, etc, keeping in mind that everybody has his/her favorite.

Since January we've put 4700 miles on the 'Bird, perhaps a thousand more then that on the truck. By December 31 I expect we'll be over 6000 miles for the year. :D I just wish I had enough vacation time to make my "Grand Swing" up to Washington and my old stomping grounds, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon and parts between. Someday.

Well, we feel a bit out of your leagues but we'll post anyways. With a 4 yr old and a 7 yr old, travel time is hard to come by. Anyway, the TV is 4 months old and has 11,500 and the trailer is 2.5 months old and has about 2,400 miles and 16 days in it. But we have our next trip scheduled in 2 weeks to go to Hershey to see a hockey game. Only a 150 mile round trip in 3 days - but fun no matter what. We'll have to stick with these short runs during the school year and do the week long trips in the summers.

Sounds like you're doing pretty good to me. My TV is 3.5 years old and has less that 15000 miles.

We are way behind Torben and Patty but now that Martha has retired we are trying to catch up but will probably not ever catch them!! That is unless they stop traveling and I don't think that is going to happen!


We bought our Cardinal in January 2005 and have 19,500 miles on it and the new tow vehicle in May of 07 and have 20,000 miles on it and almost 1/4 off those miles with the trailer hitched to it!!

Retired Sept '07 with 2300 miles on '06 tv and approx. 1000 miles on '05 Bird. We parked the whole outfit in Mt. in March of this year.
Had 36k on the tv. 90-95% of added miles were also added to bird. this includes a round trip out of Ak '07/'08 and a trip out in '08. Right now am missing
not having unit in Ak.
