How you can afford it.

when you take a vacation trip, you put on a lot of miles. when you retire, you tend to revisit special places and stay put awhile.
boondocking cuts down on expenses.
we like doing some camp hosting at state parks. this gives us "free" camp site and utilities.

Yep. When on Vacation, I like to travel every day and see as much as possible. Fulltimers will stay-put for extended periods. Camp-hosting, boondocking, seasonal rates are all common ways to save when full-timing.

A budget and debt free!

WE travel weekly/bi-monthly.

Try to limit driving to 150 to 250 miles max and then stay at least a week and up to a month. That's about $80 to $130 of fuel amortized over a 7 to 30 day period -- or $3 to $18 per day. And less during longer winter stays.

Perfect!!!!

Yep, I just checked my records. In almost 8 years of full-timing I have put on about 30,000 miles. That's about 72 miles a week, or at about 8 mpg and $4/gal, about $36 a week, or just over $5 a day for diesel.

Nobody said RVing was cheap. Anybody that puts out the money we do for our trucks and trailers plus fuel needs to have their heads examined. lol

When you turn the ignition switch on, you spend the $$$s

X2 on having our heads examined, but Medicare won't pay for it. Besides, we would probably fail the test anyway. Save the money to buy gas.

I found that when I retired I also slowed down. MPG went up and the enjoyment of watching people pass me went up!
