I agree with donn0128's early response, your budget is a little too tight in the food and camping expense and you need to enjoy yourself while traveling. The fuel cost seemed okay, but allow for RV maintenance and minor inconveniences that always seem to happen. And as several others have pointed out keep that $5K in the bank where you can use an ATM to access it and use a credit card whenever you can to spread out the costs and have it available in case an unplanned expense comes up. We use a CC for almost all of our purchases and then pay the balance each month (just call the CC company and they will tell you how much you owe, give them your authorization to wire transfer from you checkin/savings acct). Have a good trip and the main thing is to enjoy yourself and see everything you can!
