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

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.
