Ooh a budget! Let me put my former CPA hat back on.
Camping fees $3,000 ($250 per month - I'm skeptical, that's less than $10 per day)
Fuel $4,000 ($75 per week - sounds reasonable)
Food $4,000 ($75 per week - that's plenty)
Extra $2,000 ($167 per month - not nearly enough for me)
------------
Total $13,000 per year
My extras (per month):
100 - Health insurance (if Medicare at 65)
100 - Auto/RV insurance (maybe more)
100 - Cell phone and Internet (maybe more)
100 - Repairs (maybe more)

400 - Total (realistically, I would budget at least $600 per month)
A realistic RV budget (living cheap):
$5,000 Camping fees ($400 per month)
$4,000 Fuel ($75 per week)
$4,000 Food ($75 per week)
$7,000 Extras ($600 per month)
-------------
$20,000 per year ($200 per month)
That looks reasonable our road budget is a little higher in some areas. By doing some volunteer work for few months we could cut the camping budget in half.
If it was a paying gig then it could just add to the savings account.
