You could say this is a case where "your millage may very".
Ours is an older 2000 Class C.
Last year we spent $500.00 maintenance - brake job
including 2 rotors replaced by local trucking center.
Insurance was $261.00 - Progressive
Tax - title $150.00
Total $911.00
Normal MPG pulling a dolly with CRV - 8.5 MPG
Costs very per trip.
You have to eat anywhere you go so that is not an added expense.
We usually spend less in the RV because the fix out own more often.
Campgrounds are less expensive then hotel/motels.
So there is an added savings.
We just spent 3 weeks on the river in La. at my daughter's home.
It costs us fuel to get there and to stock up one what we wanted to eat.
A Hotel/motel in the area would have been $3100 plus gas to get there,
plus food, plus gas to visit my daughter if we did not have the RV.
