Once a month on average - I use it as a temporary home while doing odd jobs at an orphanage in Sonoyta, Mexico (across the border from Lukeville, Az). It is a great size for parking on the street outside the orphanage and its compartments hold all my tools/supplies - have even hauled a door leaning next to the couch! I sometimes drive back across the border and park at the Organ Pipe Cactus National Park just 5 miles north of the border for the night. Lately, I have found a private yard to park in with a view of the US/Mexico border fence - from the Mexican side. My niño's love it - they call it my 'dos casa' - my second home.

BTW - try the Organ Pipe park if you get a chance - probably the quietest park you have ever stayed at - beautiful views of the desert - no water/elec and generator hours stop at 6pm. Also, within 1 hour you can be in Puerto Peñasco Mexico (Rocky Point) which has some RV spots right on the beach. The Lukeville border is very safe compared to others and has a very nice two lane road to Rocky Point 50 miles south of the border.

The last two years have been weak for Born Free usage for me as well. I think I had only 20 night in it each year though I had 240 nights in the foretravel two years ago and 140 last year. I think next year will see a much bigger use of the Bornfree and I figure it will be 100 nights.

We spent six months in our 22' BF, in Artic Washington. A very nice park about 10 mi south of Aberdeen and 30 min from the ocean. Made several day trips and enjoyed the cool temps when it was 115 degrees in Phoenix. Planning on doing the same again.

Since we still work, we can only do long weekends. Holiday weekends are the best we get about 4 nights in. Just a guess at 24 nights a year. Mostly in Mo & Illinos State Parks. Took a 2 week trip to Florida in 2013 & loved it! We love the weekends, stay close to relatives & get to spend the summer with them.

I have lived in my 26RSB 2001 since March of 2013, with short periods staying at friends or children homes along the way. Have traveled up and down the East coast between Maryland and Florida, volunteered in Florida and Texas State Parks and traveled thru Big Bend National Park and down the west side of Texas. On my way north soon.
