How many miles a year do you drive your bus?
Since there seems to be more threads lately about worrying about mileage on potential buses, ( "I want one with a million mile motor-not a wimpy 500k motor") It might be time for a good search-worthy thread about the subject. So:
How many miles a year do you put on your bus?
How many miles since you built it?
I'll start-3500 miles a year.
Probably 20k since finished.

Re: How many miles a year do you drive your bus?
We're mostly weekend warriors and our trips are typically 400 miles 7 to 10 times a year for a total of 3000 to 4000 miles a year.

Re: How many miles a year do you drive your bus?
this year(2014) we did 4794kms 16nites in the bus, not as much as we planned . had other things going on.
We started in 2011, to now, we have a total of 21,986kms and 83 nites in the bus, the weather is getting cold now and I have winterized it, so unless something changes that's it for this year

Re: How many miles a year do you drive your bus?
Been averaging about 4,000 a year on BC. This year with the trip to Oklahoma, it will be a little higher. The 6-71 has 323,000 on it now and still running strong
