$200/day is also what we average to do a 2.5 week 5000 mile trip in our TC and formally our TH (still working and cannot take more time off). This includes events and eating out as well as fuel and groceries. The big difference is the capital sunk into our rig and the maintenance verses using a car. Although we have to cover more ground in less time due to work commitments, this scales closely to Less Stuff's trip. We take off for many 2-night 1-tank trips and typically spend less than $75/day.
Interesting, if you divide our $2887.45 cash for spending money by the 40 days of our trip you will get $72.19 a day. Not counting hotel and gas costs of course.
