One of the biggest questions many aspiring and wannabe full-time RVers have is, “How much does full-time RVing cost?” The answer is that the cost of full-time RVing varies…a lot! Many people assume that living in an RV would save money, but this isn’t always the case. Factors that can influence the cost of living in an RV and whether it will save you money include: – The type of RV you purchase – The condition of your RV – Whether you finance your RV or pay cash for it – How frequently you move from place to place – Where you live or travel in your RV – Your lifestyle and how much you spend on things like sightseeing and meals out
By reading about what others spend, you can compare your spending habits to create a realistic budget. Below you’ll find 10 monthly expense reports from RVers, ranging from extremely frugal to far more expensive.
