DOES THIS BUDGET SOUND REASONABLE?

Planning my first MH trip, 4-5 months. I'll be alone.
I'll have at least $5000 emergency cash and will be recieving about $2300 per month while I'm on the road.
Guessing 1000 gallons of gas at $5 /gallon.
I eat cheap and am budgeting $15 / day for food.
Budgeting $15 / day for camping. I don't plan any private campgrounds. I have a senior pass for National Parks and can get 50% off federal campgrounds. Also plan to use small city parks along the way, some Walmarts, Forest service campgrounds.
Does this sound reasonable over the length of the trip? I do realize that on some days the actual costs will be higher as well as lower. But, on the long term average, does this seem doable?

Is this your entire budget?

What about everything else you need for day to day living?

Haircuts, health care, propane, dump fees, clothing, phone, internet, insurance, maintenance, toiletries and so much more.

Doing the math above you $1900.00 budgeted each month for food, gas and camp fees.

I am not sure if your income is a pension or if you will be working on the road? If you will be working on the road, you will likely have expenses around that.

I think you need to review the numbers. There are several either full time or long trip budgets here with real numbers that you can check.

I know I could not travel for 4-5 months with your budget.
