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 guessstimated life of ten years. Nor did I depreciate either the truck or trailer as I tend to keep things till the wheels fall off.
Any way I came up with a ballpark of 1.25 per traveled mile of outing. More if it is a destination trip much lower for simple short camping.
If any of you have figured it out where do you come in at?
Shoot, I dunno, Never been asked that. But, everything is paid off and working fine w' maintenance.
But, it cost me about $65,0000 for the rig and trailer. And, I have gone about 100,000 miles. so... about $.65 a mile plus gas/sites and slowly decreasing with additional miles. With gas and sites... wild guessing $1.20 a mile and decreasing.
