Rv Living in Style

P70

Not everyone is on an extreme budget in their RV lifestyle. Some camp and live in their RV for adventure, for the luxury of having their comfortable with all their possessions anywhere they wish to wander.

Check out these Geeky Explorers:

I will say this upfront – we’re not exactly budget travelers.

We like eating out, as we think that tells you a lot about the place. Everyone eats, but many areas eat differently and we like to explore that.

We like drinking local if at all possible, and we will bypass coors light & boone’s farm every time – so we spend money on good alcohol.

We like driving around places, which adds up our gas costs.

We don’t live on ramen (although we do keep it handy cause it’s occasionally quite yummy!), so our grocery costs are high for two people.
That being said, we wanted to do posts on our monthly costs for two reasons.

One, it’s for us to keep track of what we are spending, how we are doing compared to what we budgeted and gives us an idea of what we personally need to make to sustain fulltime living the way we want (and still be able to save for retirement.)

Two, it’s for people curious about the costs of living in an RV. We found many sites that were helpful when listing expenses, even if we knew that particular budget wouldn’t work for us. (There are people out there impressively living on the cheap! Again, not us…)
