    Great points Alec. I look forward to 2025 to see if gas prices will drop or stay the same. I admire you and Cindy to be able to live together in such a small space. The two of you are couple goals. Happy New Year!

    I use the Open Roads card for the past three years and it has saved me a TON of money in Diesel fuel.

      I wish I had a diesel ... I would love to save a TON of money. But my Tiffin is a gasser! Thanks 😊

    Fuel cost here in Yuma dropped 20 cents/gallon in December. Currently it's $2.99/gal. We use Sam's Club Mastercard and save an additional 5-percent at every fuel station on both gas and diesel. That's another 15 cents/gallon off. Pays for our membership and MORE! I find most interstates are decent to drive on. There's a few like I-40 east of Kingman AZ that are horrible. We try and follow the blue lines whenever possible and find them rather nice. Safe Travels!

      We were just on I-40 in Kingman this past October .... you are right those roads are really bad. Safe Travels.

    We discovered that Shell stations will give you 5 cents off at when you put your cell number in at the pump. No membership or minimum purchase. I think it is up to 20 gallons but still some savings to be had.

    Verizon has a credit card that gives 4% off fuel, groceries, and restaurants. It comes off your phone bill

    All good points Alec ! Some RV parks monthly rents in Fl are well over 1000.00 a month. It gets tough on older folks with tight budgets. Great talk Alec ! 👍😁

    Great video all excellent points. One day at a time my friend. Surprised you are not a user of Open Roads so easy to find easy in easy out fuel stops. We started with gas buddy but not many stations are big rig.friendly easy and out.

    Diesel price in Arkansas is $2.78
    Gas price is $2.44
    I believe fuel prices will drop in 2025, Hopefully rv sites rates will drop as well!!

    Boondocking is basically non existent in and around Warner Robins, Georgia. Alot of the "Rat"motorhomes ruined it for everyone.

    With all due respect Only getting 6 miles to the galloon will always be a BIG expense in traveling. Plus the maintenance

    • @SHARINGJOURNEY
      @SHARINGJOURNEY  6 днів тому

      You are right it is a big expense ... but cheaper than our house was ... but it is getting more expensive as prices rise. Work Camping makes it much more affordable. Thanks for watching.

    I do like my Upside app. It does great with my Rv. Fuel is always a huge expense. Probably the biggest expense.
    Yeah the public land being overcrowded is about right. That’s why I got 4wd so I can get past them 😂 the worse the road, the less people can get there.
    You know what they are spending our tax dollars on. Everyone but us 😂
    The rules that governments impose are definitely ridiculous. I’m sure I’m going to get arrested for my mouth at some point. 😊 It’s only illegal if you are caught. I know you are retired Leo but 🤷🏼‍♂️ and I know it’s because of the homeless people Destroying everything. Literally EVERYTHING. I see us using Harvest Host a lot. I’m also not afraid to ask to park overnight, firehouse, bars, gas stations, motels….✌🏼

    • @SHARINGJOURNEY
      @SHARINGJOURNEY  7 днів тому

      You are so right with all that ... well except Harvest Host. I am not a fan ... we had many bad experiences using Harvest Host ... we did not renew our membership. Harvest Host seems to work well for others, it just didn't ever seem to workout for us. Safe travels!

  • @Thesaltymedic36
    @Thesaltymedic36 7 днів тому

    ⁠really? I haven’t had a bad experience….yet 😂 I’m always willing to have one because it’s bound to happen. I’ve had nothing but good experiences so far and been to 8 different places so far. It can get pricey though I have found.
