Road trip - Have you estimated a monthly cost ? Gas, campgrounds, food, entertainment, etc ? Wife and I are investigating a 30 foot C class mainly due to us prefering state, national and county parks which seem to have smaller sites, and we have covered parking for 35 feet.
No plans on our part to go full time, but just to expand our travels to a few months at a time!
I plan to read some more of your blog in the morning over coffee. It's been an interesting read so far!
Safe travels!
Thanks for reading! It is about the same if you are moving a lot, but if you find a decent campground and stay longer it is cheaper. Longer stays in one place so far seems to be a way to keep the budget down. We are on the move now so it isn't cheap. Next year we will be moving a lot less. Food is our biggest expense. Getting a fishing license in most states is also expensive. I don't want to feel like I need to catch a lot all of the time to make it worth it, but when I can I try to keep the freezer at least three quarters full. We go out to eat when it seems like a place will really be worth it, otherwise if we are in a state or national park I wood hawk and put some potatoes, fish, and corn on the grill. The dogs get the fish heads grilled and love it.
