2019 Budget summary

    A lot of people ask how much full timing cost. Well here it is for us.  Cost can vary widely depending on your life style.  We only spent $600 a month for dinning out and entertainment.  Some people spend much less and some much more, this is our budget and we had fun.

We camped 365 nights for $11,669.01 with and average $32 per night.  No boondocking*

We traveled 10,099 miles spent $3,871.49 for fuel or $.32 per mile.*

Propane cost for the year was $805*

RV insurance $2188 or $182 a month.*

We spent a lot on repairs this year.  Some were our choice for upgrades and rest just repairs.
We upgraded the on demand water heater about $1900.  Also upgraded shocks and added a steering stabilizer for another $650.  The rest some $10,009.00 was for repairs or maintenance our warranty covered about half of that so we were out $5,000.  $5,000 +$1,900+$650 = $7,550 for the year.

Repairs $7,550 for the year or $629 a month.  All that being said we don't foresee anything big for 2020 except new tires and regular maintenance.*

* Note....Most budget entries were done after happy hour and could vary a weeee bit either way.
