    ℹ️ About the episode:
    For most new RVers, there are many unknowns before taking off for the weekend or fulltime. It's only natural to be concerned about how much it will really cost. This season we've been tracking our fuel and lodging cost in addition to each RV park, State Park and Harvest Hosts we've stayed at plus the nightly rate. The truth is, "RV Life" costs whatever you make it. Just like living in a house, your expenses are based more on your lifestyle. In this video, we share what our top 5 RV expenses are and a tip or two on ways to save in each of those categories. We also share some unexpected costs that we didn't realize until we got on the road. Plus, we share our thoughts on campground reservations with so many new RVers.

      You are right @@johnnyhubbars9893, but just like anything else that you are researching, you should always vet multiple sources. It never hurts to get varying views because, as Marc and Tricia said in this very video, "It really depends on what you love and where you want to go and where you want to be." I wish more people would vet multiple sources before assuming what someone may want or need. Thanks Marc and Trish! Keep up the great work.

    Getting started... I appreciate YOU with your get going with what you have philosophy, don't wait for the perfect rig. I started with a mini-van pulling a small RV nearly 4 years ago, now I have a full size pickup and a 30 foot bunkhouse. The only thing I regret is not getting going sooner. You spend ~85% of the time with your kids by the time they graduate high school, people, no better way to spend quality time with your family, "REAL", QUALITY TIME, than hiking, biking, boating and traveling in an RV. Get your families closer and be happy. :)

    I haven't gotten my notifications in a long time. Glad I clicked. I know you won't see this but the Start thing. We started in a Tent with 3 preschoolers. First real vacation first night got drowned in a Storm, kids scared, we were too and LeAn and Me were Music Majors so in the Rain we just start singing "Row Your Boat". And it was loud the kids join in 6, 5, and 4 Y.O.s we got wet but we all laughed and laughed. It set the tone, we were making memories. which turned into 3 popups and now our 2 Hardside 24FT Grandma and Grandpa special North Trail. Our mid thirties Kids now all still tell us that very first trip was the best vacation we ever took. We're only 58 so a long way to go and many more memories to make.

    When my brother and I were little my parents started with an old 68, 69 or 70 model 21 foot green and white Nomad travel trailer. We had our farm truck, a 76 F250 to pull it. This was obviously before seatbelt laws because we would all pile up and just go. I imagine we looked like the Beverly Hillbillies without all the oil money.
    But I’ll say this: as uncomfortable as that trailer was I have some of my fondest memories traveling all over the US in that setup. I can still smell my mom frying eggs and bacon and making cinnamon toast while we woke up every morning exploring somewhere new. It brings a happy tear to my eye thinking of those times as I write this while reflecting back.

I am now calculating what I spent to stay in AirBNB's for 11 nights, fuel, and food. It was an amazing trip, but I could have put a sizable down payment on a small rig! Great cost breakdown video.

    With COVID-19, some doctors are doing tele-visits. I had one recently with my doctor because we had moved and I didn’t yet have a primary care physician in our new location. After our tele-visit, he refilled my prescription to last until I could find a local doctor. There might be a version of that solution that would work for full timers.

    Enjoyed this video! I wanted to mention that I recently viewed your video on weight capacities of a vehicle. You did an excellent job explaining those details. We started out with a vehicle that was at its max pulling our 25’ ultra light. I was constantly fretting about the weight in the vehicle and the tongue weight. All the the RV dealership (I wouldn’t buy a new RV again) looked at was the tow capacity of the vehicle. I guess selling an RV was more important than the safety of their customers. At any rate, I finally sold our Expedition and bought a diesel 3/4 ton PU. What a difference! I can even travel with a full fresh water tank without having safety anxiety. Thanks again for sharing your experience! Hope to see you n the road sometime.

    Great Video... we've watched this episode so many times, we are now convinced to go full time when our house rent lease is up! So much to look forward to, but with your tutorials and blog, we have 8 months to plan for this great shift.... starting with our 2 week rental in July.

    Also! (24:46) You don't even need a tent to get camping! Many many parks have cabins you can rent out. Do be aware that cabins often require reservations *FAR* in advance.

  • @robinmills5827
    @robinmills5827 3 роки тому +1

    Great info thanks. It's also good to watch/listen to how you interact during this kind of video. I'd like to add to the conversation that if you're unsure about an RV lifestyle, or, like me, you love your home, live in a small country or have animals that can't travel, there's nothing wrong with renting a campervan/RV/travel trailer for an extended holiday. Off season is best for cost, longer rentals for negotiating discounts, but be careful to choose your rental company and vehicle with care. Cheapest often isn't the best unless you want road restrictions and a vehicle that isn't being well cared for and checked between rentals.

    Your advice given for starting with what you have at the time is so relevant. We will not always have our kids with us, and for the most part, we all should make the most of the time we have, as we may lose some of our family members prematurely, and miss those precious moments. Some of the best times spent with our kids didn't tie back to the amount of money spent. Some of our best times were just a long walk on the beach with our loved ones. I applaud you for investing in the time with your family.

    Great video! Enjoyable. What you had is the Thousand Trails Pass, there is a national Thousand Trails Membership, we’ve been members for 20 years, we add the TT Collection and Resort Parks International (RPI), these three options give us tons of RV parks throughout the United States to stay, most at NO COST! Zero dollars to stay! There are used memberships for sale for $3-4K. We are full-timers, we love to dry camp, we spend @ 2 weeks dry camping, then we go to a Thousand Trails campground to do our laundry, grocery shop and clean the motorhome good. We spend less than $100 on RV parks, less than $200 on gas, and @ $400-500 for groceries. Loving life! ❤️

I'm taking my pre-Covid KYD cap tramping (hiking) in the Marlborough Sounds (NZ) next week so it gets a change of scenery. Back in a campervan in late autumn to catch some South Island colours. Happy travels and loads of fun KYD people.

    I know it can be nerve racking to spell it out not only for your fans, but even for yourselves. But we are now members of the RV club too. We spent the last 7 months doing a lot of tent camping, but we just upgraded our tent for a 26 foot travel trailer. Now just to figure out how to cool that trailer down while driving to our weekend site. Thanks again for everything y'all do.

    This video has been so informative for my husband and I. Our big problem with retiring before 65 is insurance because we are both self employed and are paying $1200 a month for health insurance with $5000 pp deductibles. Crazy I know. You both have helped with different options we can investigate. Thank you
