How much does LIVING in an RV cost? | AVERAGE Month

People are curious about how much it costs to live full time in an RV. In this video, I explain my cost of living in an rv for a month.

Your costs may differ from mine, based on how much you boondock or if you paid for your dwelling in full.

ON all these videos people feel the need to question peoples income source. Who cares? This is about living out in an RV etc not about the money. If you do not have money you cannot do this. Many people earn money on line if they are a programmer, graphic artist, writer etc . Now if you are a secretary then forget it.

Living like this is for people with a lot of money or no money . IF he had a bus with a serious genny, solar panels etc he could do it a little diff but they cost money.

Now if he gets 20, 000 followers then he can get paid for advertising. So keep signing up.

Keep on your dream younger brother of Ashton Kutcher in RV land. :)

This should be titled traveling in a rv. Not living. I live in my rv. Own it. My lot rent is 345 and I pay my electric. Approx 60 month. So 405 a month covers the living. Not bad when you consider rents start at 550 before you pay utilities. And this is for a one bedroom apartment in some crap neighborhood. I own my throne.lol I don't live in someone's place paying their mortgage. I like it that way. No one has a key or a right to treat me bad. I would just drive away. No lease and no deposits. There are some advantages to living in your rv. Mine is mobility and 405 a month in bills. Thanks friend. Happy New year.

You remind me so much of my youngest son! I think it's awesome that you're full timing in a 5th wheel. I'm planning to go full time in a Class A in about 1-1/2 years...can't wait! Thanks for all the great info on campgrounds, places to see, and all the practical stuff...VERY helpful!

[WhatsUpWithSheila]

I think you did a very good job... You covered the MAIN EXPENSES..(although gas depends on how much you travel)

Some have mentioned you did not cover the incidentals... incidentals are basically whatever you spent on them when you lived in a house UNLESS you change your habits.
(add $15 a month for laundry every two weeks at laundromat)

Also some have mentioned "depreciation" I feel if you're going to be that technical don't buy a RV and be sure you keep whatever car you buy FOREVER.

Thank you for sharing.👍

My husband and I are thinking about living in an RV so this was very informative. Thanks!

[smithaviation]

This video is very informative I also like the way you thanked your subscribers right off the bat that was pretty cool. We are fixing to go full-time rving we are in the purchasing portion and will be on the road soon thanks for the video

I feel like I could save a lot of money living in an RV while in college. I'd drive my own car and keep the RV in my grandma's trailer park.

I'd add up just my rv related expenses and compare it to what it would cost to live in an apt. So I'd go X for rv, x for campground spot and x for insurance on the rv and then compare that to rents and utilities that you'd pay in an area for an apt. I'd figure I would still have the truck. I'd maybe count half the gas as an extra expense over what I'd pay if using the truck and having my own apt. I'm surprised that they charge that much for a spot to park your rv. Very interesting. I'm glad I found you.

Thanks for sharing what your experience is. I think it will give a lot of people a starting point!

What about laundry, toiletries, haircuts, car wash, oil changes, propane, phone, pet food? I originally made a budget and forgot to add in all those small things. It all adds up to make a significant difference. At least for me it did.

Love your videos. To the point and you are informative without being complicated. I retired, quit my job and bought a 31' motorhome in September. Hit the road in October. In Phoenix now and loving my new lifestyle. I will also be creating a youtube account eventually but currently just posting on my FB page to keep family and friends up to date. Keep up the good work and I will be watching.

All you should add up for RV living is the truck trailer and insurance and gas .every thing else you would spend anyway..

Thousand Trails at $600 a year cost $50.00 a month. (basic 14 days in and 7 out)
Spend a little more and you can get a 21 day in with no time out and move from park to park.
Power, water and trash is part of that. Most have pools and spas.
Unless you need 50 amp and thats $5 a day more 14 days = $70.
7 out means you have to be out of the park for 7 days and then you can come back and spend 14 more days.
Going with a elite package gets you into the park for 21 days no time out and you can move to a park.... Huge cost cut in my book.

You need to have a maintenance fund you put away each month for the times you may need it.

[LonskiBig]

of variables in on "Grocery" videos show how to get by on $100/mo for food (comfortably)....Stay in one place more could cut the gasoline in more would cut the RV park bill....Won't always have a truck payment when it's paid off...

This is very reasonable, Congrat. You are an example of minimal rv hero.

[Expandacraftboats]

If you are an RVer and like water toys or fishing boats, Look into Expandacraft, a modular watercraft that stores in small spaces and converts into all sorts of different craft. Oh, and we ship all over the world.

[Kindlelover]

Excellent penmanship and wow impressive staying on that budget!

Try doing this (rv full time) with an 03 f250 that breaks down at almost every trip, so we get to enjoy campgrounds that no body has heard of! Talk about stress and bills (repairs!)
