Home for a bit.

 It was going to be a windy day that while mostly sunny, would only reach 68° according to the weather guessers. 

Sunrise:

So instead of hanging out for one more day, I drove home, arriving at around 1:00 p.m. to an enthusiastic hug from Martha. 

According to the trip spreadsheet, I camped for 71 days this time at a cost of $31.90 a day.

The largest cost, not surprisingly, was fuel for the RV at 46%, next was groceries at 25%, 17% for RV related tasks/propane/Starlink, 10% for camping fees and final 2% was gas for Yagi and meals bought while visiting friends.

About 3000 miles covered by the RV.  Average MPG: 8 .

One of these days I’ll try and track expenses. The largest one on this trip may be fuel. $850 so far with the last fillup being almost double of the previous ones.

The cost average sounds quite reasonable to me, I doubt that you could survive on this sum in Europe, the main impact being the campground fees which are mostly between 25 to 60€ depending on location.

Yep, RichardM, fuel for these thirsty heavy beasts of ours.

I recently saw other reports of average daily costs by others who camp in regular campgrounds, SonjaM. They seemed quite proud/happy? about averaging around $115/day!

I do like the way you track expenses. I’ve wanted to start doing that in this trip. Wish me luck. Off to a shaky start. 🙄 Lori
