Definitely. 1 weeks national forest. 1 night CG with hookups. Do all dumps. Fill tanks. Recharge. Back to national forest. Thrift store. Bent & dent food stores. Lots of great rice & beans recipes. Solar for supplemental. Have lots of fun enjoying nature, campfires, hikes. I DO believe I COULD do it on half and that's saving a bit of $ each month for parts/repairs. Not saying I'd want to, but just saying I could if I was by myself. With family forget it.
$1500, I'd change my tune (even with family).
Full time 2 nights national forest, 1 night CG. All the rest of the strategy the same.
