Does driveway camping count?
We just finished some remodeling to the S/B home.  So we had to spend 4 nights in the TT while the work was being done. Actually, it is stored in a building(garage of it's own) with full hookups.
So can I count these 4 nights as nights camped for the year?
I know this is a stupid question and fully expect stupid answers from(some certain individuals that will remain nameless)  .
What say you?

one of the many things posted for new owners is to spend the first night in their driveway, soooo I guess it does count....

Ours is 6 miles away, we stay 5-6 times a year. Sometimes I am on call for work. This allows us to do both camp and be on call$.

I consulted with my legal counsel and found that it is permissible to count those nights unless the nights are spent in a month ending in "Z".

I won many races like that as a kid! 
Unless I get too many more saying it doesn't count, I'm counting these 4 nights!
But......I only slept 5 hours because I got up at 2:30 am to go to work.
I'm still counting them though.

count them you'er are in your camper, You have all the same issues as any other outing just closer to home. Some will say na, I wonder if they consider full hook ups at a groomed park camping? This is not a slam on those who make use of the great parks around this country.

If you spent the night in a tent in your yard you would have counted that as camping, so go ahead and count those four nights!

If I sleep in the camper, it counts as camping.
