RVing can save money.First,maybe you should be looking at a trailer instead of a motorhome. Motorhomes are expensive to buy and fix and the large ones gets terrible gas milage. I have a 27ft TT with one slide. I pull it with a van and get about 10mpg when towing on interstate highways.We bought ours new for $27,000,but you can find good used units for half the price. Stay in state or federal campgrounds.If you are over 62,get the America the Beautiful card and get half off camping fees.I just booked a campsite at Yellowstone for $13 a night.That's alot cheaper than a hotel.You can cook your own meals instead of eating out every day.That alone could save you $40 to $50 a day for 2. Plus you sleep in your own bed every night,if you need to use the bathroom while traveling you just pull over. If you want to quit RVing,you sell the trailer and recoup some of your money.
