RV Travel has posted a poll asking how many miles are on your motorhome or tow vehicle.
For me, my Class C 2015 Winnebago Minnie Winnie has clocked 72,000 miles. That averages 7,200 miles per year since it is a ten year old vehicle. But that's not accurate as I usually clock about 2,000 to 3,000 per year at most. The 2016 trip to Metropolis, Illinois and the 2017 Great American Eclipse trip were mainly the reason for the mileage.
RV Travel begins their poll with:
Unless you just bought your RV, there’s a good chance your RV or tow vehicle has some serious miles on it. If you’re using it the way most RVers do—traveling from park to park and exploring new places—those miles can add up fast.
Go take a quick look at the odometer. If you have a towable RV, check your tow vehicle. If you have a motorhome, check the mileage there.
For many RVers, those numbers reflect years of travel, road conditions, and real-world wear and tear. Whether it’s 30,000 or 130,000 miles, it’s useful to know where your vehicle stands—and interesting to see how you compare with others.
Let us know how many miles you’ve logged by answering the poll below. And if you’ve passed a big milestone like 100,000 miles, feel free to share what kind of rig you’re driving and how it’s held up over time.
