Diesel fuel prices … how is that affecting your RV travel ?

Mine is parked in my workshop … NO travel for me with fuel prices like these at over 6$ per gallon even though I can BABY IT to get almost 16mpg.

GOT TO do a major LPG gas upgrade anyways ….

  • To the original question, how has the price of diesel affected your travel? The fuel bill is twice as much.
  • bgum The question was about diesel prices and how it affects travel plans not gasoline. Gasoline prices are going up too, which will hurt just as much. I think you better downsize again. To a electric vehicle and a tent. Some of us like to traveling in class A's and fifth wheels.

    Gas prices have had nothing but good affects as we have more open spots.


    Open spots ? …. So you don’t have a fully self contained RV ?

    Gas prices have taken a MAJOR HIT too.


    We do have a fully self contained rv. We have not run on diesel since we sold our 5th. After owning a 35 foot class A and a 35 foot 5th wheel we woke up to the fact that bigger is not better when it comes to RVS. We can get into any rv park except class A only. We get a little more than 15 mpg when towing, and can maneuver easily. We have what we want in a RV: a clean bed, a clean bathroom, air-conditioned and heated space,hot shower, refrigerator, and stove/microwave, entertainment center including TV, and it's paid for.
    If you have anything better please let us know so we can check it out.
  • just look how one person can change the world. this is all man made . but I,m still going to do what I want.

  • I expect diesel to keep going up until summer is over then it might drop a bit. By next year you will be happy to $6 per gallon.
    I just bought a new truck, so I still plan on towing the 5th wheel.
