Hi All! My hubby and I are planning on becoming full-time RVers in the future. We have a few questions. How do you afford this? With the cost of campgrounds being close to $400 a week with full hook-ups, that gets very expensive (much more than the mortgage I pay on our 5 bedroom house)! Is there a cheaper way to do this? We met someone on a recent trip who told about RV clubs where you have a home club and then pay cheaper rates at "sister" clubs. Is this true? How does it work? How do you find them? Any help you can pass along is greatly appreciated.
Rule 1 = never pay $400 for a week that is crazy. We have fulltimed for the last 5 years and average $11k per year for rv fees. We only stay for a month in one spot for 3 months out of the year. If you stay put for longer it can be cheaper. Fuel is usually your biggest expense.

While only half timers, we usually spend 5 days/week in a USFS CG for $6/day (helps to have a self contained unit). There are plenty of posts on here by those that know how to keep the price down while having a good time.
