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 /g...

A friend spent 3 months on the road in there MH last fall, and a similar trip several years ago. I asked him about expenses. He kept good track and both trips averaged close to $85/day all inclusive. They stay at a mix of private, free and state CG.
I then went back to our expenses over the last 2 1/2 years, average about 80 camping nights/year. Our cost/day all inclusive close to the same as his, right near $85/day! We also vary staying between RV parks, state CG and free spots.
Costs for both of us included all food, meals out, entertainment, fees for places we visited etc.
He has a 32' diesel MH, I have a 34' TT and diesel truck.
In both cases the costs above were what we paid while on the road. it does NOT include annual insurance etc.
And in both cases neither of us travels every day. Might travel 200-300 miles, stay a day or two visiting things etc. then move on. Or maybe travel for 2-3 days then have a planned stay for 3-5 days.
