Six months on the road.

Picture from Hometown     We often get asked questions about our cost to travel in a motorhome.   

 Well today I tallied up the cost of diesel from Arizona to Massachusetts and back again.  Holy crap!  This does not include gas for our toad car.    

 When we get into a chosen area, we use the car for sightseeing  within an hour's drive or so.  Going East , from Arizona, we took the northern route and returned the southern route. 

The trip took six months and took us about 7,354 miles.  Going to Massachusetts was not such a straight line as our return trip.  From April 21st to Oct. 14th, we spent $1866.21 on diesel for the motorhome.   

 The map above follows our route from Massachusetts to Arizona.

   We belong to several camping clubs that offer up to 70% off a night rate.  The total cost for sites for the six months was $2,425.21, plus yearly membership fees.

Any more questions, just ask.

Have a good weekend.

Good Morning from a very sunny Scotland there is not a cloud in the sky but it is cold just the right kind of morning for a birdwatching trip.  Your trip is one of a lifetime will have to get my atlas ou to follow where you went as you map is too small for me to see your route.  Keep well Love Joan.

Six months, that is really minimal compared to what some people pay for a few weeks cruise to Alaska or overseas and sometime Disney Land.  Appreciate your sharing, that will help Fred and I look at Full-time RV a little more.
