How Much Does it Cost to Live on the Road?
Greetings from South Korea! How much does it cost to live on the road for at least part of the year? My husband is set to retire from the military in a few years and we are trying to figure out how...

There are too many variables going on here. As far as "cost" : travel all the time? Gas and nightly fees. Then you have tourist attractions. How about repairs? Flat tires?...all this to take into consideration. Places like WaltDisneyWorld, the national parks, (Grand Canyon, etc.. ,etc.) are wonderful places to visit...and you can stay there for days......but they arn't cheap. Food: Just like staying in a house...gotta eat.
What some folks do is become "workcampers". Work at campgrounds for a few days a week in exchange for a free site. Work down south for the winter, go up north for the summer. Campgrounds are always advertising for folks.
As far as a "small" trailer and a "small" truck, living in it for weeks on months on end...can crease "space problems" (My wife and I had some at first...but we adjusted to it...and THAT was in a 33 foot motorhome while on the road for 7 months) so really, don't think "small"...in my opinion.
RVing full time or even months at a time is a great way to go. But it ain't necessarily cheap. Whatever you decide....g'luck!
