Cost of your hobby
I am constantly asked by non Rv'ing friends and family how expensive this hobby is. I did not figure the cost of the truck as I have always had one,I spread the cost of the trailer out over a guess...

We have done many calculations over the years and it is typically more expensive to take the RV then to stay in a lower cost hotel. However, on our trip to Death Valley, we saved a lot of money. We got an inexpensive full hook up site and we ate our meals in the RV. The rooms and the restaurants there were very expensive. If you stay in higher cost hotels, the cost starts getting more even. However, we can bring the dog with us in the RV and we can stay places that do not have a hotel around. We also like being able to cook our own healthier meals. We also like sleeping in our own beds in our own sheets. I have traveled a lot and have had some incidents in very nice hotels. In one hotel, I had hundreds of baby ticks on me when I woke up in a high end hotel. That incident sent me to the hospital that night.
