Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Cost of fulltiming

How about finances? Can a couple with a paid for rig live fulltime on $2,150 mthly for sure income? Does this sound resonable or should I expect it to cost more? I do plan to have other forms of income as well...but, this would be the only for sure income to make a budget from.

Depends.....Rv park fees and fuel will vary greatly. All other costs will be the same as your current lifestyle. If you travel great distances fuel costs will be more. Most Rv parks charge less for longer stays. ( Weekly rate less than 7 days, monthly less than 4 weeks etc)

Breezy,

You should be able to make it on that amount. We keep track of everything we spend, and last year, our expenses averaged just a little more per month than your figure.

Of course you have to stay out of the expensive parks, boon-dock a little and watch what you spend, but I would think it would be very do-able. There are many people Full-timing on much less than that.

Jim
