The costs to RV in a Class A Diesel Pusher can be all over the map! The length, brand and year of the rig you select will GREATLY affect each and every item you need to think about. As just one example, I will tell you how our two years on the road full time has turned out in our 2014 Newmar Dutch Star Model 4369 that we bought used in June of 2017.
First year was more than the second year to get everything “ship-shape”. We expect the third year to be high as well, because it will be starting with replacing 6 tires.
So in the first year:
We needed all new (10) batteries because they were shot. (Bought Lifelines) = $2500
Needed to fully service chassis, as I had poor records from previous owner = $2300
Major slide issues, Oasis service, jack maintenance, roof sealing, etc. = $7300
Belts, Trans Oil, Dash A/C charged, Coach Wt, Coolant, Dash electronics = $1300
New Front Tires and Tyron Tire Bands = $3350
First year out grand total, to get "Ready to Roll",........ at $16,750 Whew!!
Our second year out, our maintenance costs ended up lower =$7000
This is the year discussed in our "Costs to Full Time RV” Travel video.
Our third year out we will get the remaining 6 tires at $4800 plus whatever else!

As someone considering the full time rv lifestyle, I found this fantastic! Thorough and well done!

@OurJourneyInMyles 3 года назад

Glad it was helpful Sean! We are getting ready to update this video AGAIN!

@dowzoo 2 года назад

This was very interesting, even though I have no intention of going full-time RVing. I like their honesty and how they don't sugarcoat the expenses, which should be appreciated by all who intend to get into this lifestyle. Beyond that, they seem like a really cool couple that I would love to spend time with!

@OurJourneyInMyles 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it Beth. We are just trying to prepare folks for the real costs we are seeing. RVing can certaining be done cheaper with the proper changes in style and the equipment you use.

@CaptnButch 5 лет назад

Soooo helpful! Thank you! We are in prep and wait phase but looking forward to follow in your footsteps.

@jimm2442 5 лет назад

Excellent Video! You folks are honest and tell it like it is. I especially appreciate the part on RV Depreciation, that is a good example of you doing your homework and looking at everything. Thank you!

@OurJourneyInMyles 5 лет назад

Thank you Jim. I only brought it up so people think about the "exit" plan when you need to settle back down,.....

@crazycanuck2578 4 года назад

Please don't be embarrassed about putting your whole financial life out on here you sure opened up a lot of peoples eyes who think that it's cheap to just buy a Motor home and travel. You two are doing what a lot of us would love to do but, can't afford too do, you sure are very straight forward and honest about what it does really cost to RV full time, and a lot of us really thank you for this info. You're a very honest couple for opening up like this to us. You really opened up my eyes to the real cost of full time RVing.

@OurJourneyInMyles 4 года назад

Thanks CC. We figured we would put out our actual numbers so folks can decide for themselves where they can improve, or change, or delete costs to make it work for them if they desire to travel like we do. And as you pointed out, if I had my dream machine, a Prevost Conversion,.....I would be looking for even fancy places! That will be my NEXT life........

@kmbowman123 4 года назад

I just appreciate how real you are in sharing with us this video.

@OurJourneyInMyles 4 года назад

It isn't exactly flattering for us,.......we look so out of control. The expenses are harder for younger people to understand I think, because they can do so much more physically and can adapt to "less services". When your pushing 70 like me, I just can't put up with much inconvenience anymore. We had to tell the story truthfully,.......otherwise it would be a fairytale. Thanks for viewing our episode.

@verawyrock8016 4 года назад

@OurJourneyInMyles 4 года назад

Your welcome Vera.

@joycestepancevich6591 4 года назад

Very nice of you to share this info and making it available. Its useful for those thinking they will be saving on rent, etc when in fact doing it responsibly may be more expensive than you might think even taking everyones different approach into consideration. Thanks again.

@OurJourneyInMyles 4 года назад

It a big decision to start this life full time after a more normal "secure" stick and brick life. Glad to help provide the real life numbers for folks to decide if it will work for them. It is so worth it for the change and adventure in one's life. BUT,......you need to know,. ...that it is only cheap if you are just going "somewhere budget friendly" to live in an RV. If you are actually going to be touring and TRAVELING in an RV to specific, popular places, in warm climates when it is cold elsewhere,....you will be paying the premium for that privilege and blessing. We are very thankful to be able to do this.

@dougthomas7852 4 года назад

Loved watching your video. We sold our 2003 Pace Arrow 36B two years ago. I miss it some days but not the expense of ownership. You two are doing a real service to anyone thinking of going out in an RV full time. It's not cheap, but can be a lot of fun. Be safe and I will follow along on your journey.

@OurJourneyInMyles 4 года назад

Thanks Doug. I am sure that most people that ask for the spreadsheets can just change the numbers around a little bit to suit their situation and travel style. The price of admission to this life is not free,.......and once a person runs the numbers on their travel style and expectations, they will know what it is.

@miles422 4 года назад

Great job! Really enjoyed it and especially the detail. I don't RV but I love living vicariously thru you. And I learned thru my career as a maintenance manager that depreciation is a big deal so that alone was a huge gift to people considering this life style. FUN! Thanks for doing the work and sharing. I'm subscribed!

@OurJourneyInMyles 4 года назад

Miles! GREAT NAME. The depreciation really is the only depressing thing about RVing that you need to "make peace" with. It is actually a double whammy. The money you paid is draining away. In a house the money would be appreciating. The key to this crazy life is to understand, you really can't have it both ways. This lifestyle is not for everyone, but make no mistake, it really is something to behold if you are ready for the ride.

@OurJourneyInMyles 5 лет назад

Thanks Rob. Getting such a fantastic mention during Bob & Pearl's last video on their channel "Next Exit" was like having Bill Gates tell someone you make a good computer. We are very thankful for his shout out, and hope our new subscribers stick around for our adventures.

@OurJourneyInMyles 4 года назад

Thanks Lisa. We did our best to capture it all, so folks can move the numbers around as they see fit to match their style.

@twobarrys 3 года назад

That was the best and most detailed budget presentation I have watched on RU-vid. It best details the cost of living the RV life style. This helps people evaluate what it is really like to full time. Your choice to have a large class A puts you in the high end of expenses due to size limitations. You also tend to move a lot. Both costly but perhaps more enjoyable if you can afford it. Great contribution to the RV community and potential RV buyers.

@OurJourneyInMyles 3 года назад

Wow, thank you for such a detailed and gracious comment twobarrys! In case you missed the update to this video, with even better and more up-to-date budget info, check out episode #173 at: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qwxpr0XbDeA.html

@heidialex3417 4 года назад

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's a great realistic reference on what it costs to live in an RV. Not as economical as advertised or percieved.

@OurJourneyInMyles 4 года назад

Equipment choice is the major decision that will predict many of the future costs across most categories. So will travel style vs. sitting in one spot style, and the frequency of travel and moving. RV loan vs no loan? Who is paying your healthcare, you or your previous employer or medicare? And the big one,………depreciation,……....can you afford to sell your RV when done for SUBSTANTIALLY less than you paid for it, or even worse,......getting nothing for it,…..when done with the adventure? With a little study and soul searching, one can get a "ballpark' of the costs to expect. Thanks for taking the time to watch our cost video segment.

@geraldkoth654 4 года назад

My biggest single expense is Federal Income Tax. Boooo As far as Thousand Trails goes in 9 years at 30 to 40 dollars per night (location dependent) I have saved more that $54,000 over the costs of my memberships and dues. One year in particular I decided to try to stay at Thousand Trails to the maximum. I left Michigan October 1, 2016 went south of course, then west as I wanted to spend the summer in Washington State, which I did. On October 1, 2017 I was in Benson Arizona and had spent just a little over $1000 on RV Sites which included my $566 Thousand Trails dues for the year. I have never boondocked or stayed in a parking lot of any sort. BTW there are 4 Thousand Trails parks in Wisconsin. The Trails Collection adds another 100+ Encore parks for $199 a year. I do not have the Trails Collection. I have put a total of 160000 miles on the Truck I use for towing. Of those miles 62,000 have been towing my home on wheels. I domicile in South Dakota, the best state not live in.

@OurJourneyInMyles 4 года назад

Wow,...what an adventure. Sounds TT has been the ticket to savings for you. We will continue to look into it for us,..... South Dakota does have awesome things to see though!

@jethrog4549 5 лет назад

Super cool guys! Thanks for the video. We subscribed just now. Great information, some of which, we haven't heard before and an attitude we definitely haven't seen much of so far. We start our journey the end of this month. We've been doing research for this for about a year and can't wait. We seem to have some shared ideas on things mainly thousand trails and the attitude of how we plan to move about this country. Thanks again for the video.

@OurJourneyInMyles 5 лет назад

We feel very blessed to be able to do this, in our tourist TRAVELING lifestyle. We are not living in it, we are MOVING while living in it! Finding a place to stay in the RV for a few months is only in winter in Florida, our new home state for Sue & I. We love to share our experiences because at whatever level budget a person can put together, it is worth it!

@vrflyer2000 4 года назад

Really appreciate the time you guys took in your adventures doing things without a great emphasis looking for bargains. Its been good for me to see a good budget. thank you also for the reminder to add in an exit strategy as the 8% devaluation and maintenance cost to casulty/liability insurance is a very large part of keeping things honest or at least grounded in reality.

Good luck!! Pulling the pin is the hardest thing,........but if you have a good plan,......you will have way less bad surprises.

Awesome informational video. Great eye opener for new-be's. I'll be retiring in May, & my wife has been retired almost 2 yrs.,& we have been wanting to rent an RV for a month or so for starters, before we do anything drastic. Appreciate your time & efforts to share your journeys. Thanx

@DownsizingMakesCents 5 лет назад

Great job with the expense report, you guys are definitely on the high end but it is great to see the high and the low. You keep the educational and entertaining videos coming, the subscribers will follow.

@OurJourneyInMyles 5 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words and stopping by! We are going to make a few changes this year, but expect the same outcome due to some planned tire purchases, and upgrades. It's the price of entry and admission to this life. We published these slightly "embarrassing" numbers to help others realize how it can add up. We only publish once per week, because we know our subscribers time is valuable. Episodes are usually of our travels to places we think others would enjoy to see. Next Sunday is our last three adventures in Salt Lake City Utah before heading northeast to North Dakota for the FMCA Rally in Minot ND.

@MelodyMortgageGuy 4 года назад

Looking into purchasing my first motorhome. Very informative!!! Thank you.

@OurJourneyInMyles 4 года назад

Glad it was helpful! The RV style (and the cost of the rig) you select is the biggest one time expense. The parks you decide to live in will be your second largest expense per month. (Private Campground or Thousand Trails Membership?) And finally, the costs to repair & maintain it will be your third biggest expensive per month. If your accurate with your figures up front, your RV life will be much less stressful for you and your partner!

@SofiaCaparas Год назад

Y’all are amazing! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your video and subscribed! I’m a 20-something woman who works full time from home in an expensive city. I’ve always wanted to RV to see the US, but I also wanted a class A for me & the dogs, and wanted to stay in nicer rest stops for my own safety. This was straight to the point and eye opening on what it’ll cost me! Thank you! Looking forward to checking out your other videos!

@OurJourneyInMyles Год назад

Thanks for such a great & kind comment.

@Vertiblast 5 лет назад

This was great and a great introduction to you. Thanks.

@OurJourneyInMyles 5 лет назад

Hope you stick around. We mostly like to just showcase the places we are visiting for family, friends, and our subscribers. We know how important the "real" costs of RVing are for people to know if they can, or even want, to swing it. We will update this sheet in another two months. Bob & Pearl from the channel "Next Exit" do a fantastic job with the monthly reports they do. VERY DETAILED, with great commentary. It is a lot of work.

@daveobergoenner4828 4 года назад

By far the most realistic accounting of full-time RV lifestyle costs I've seen yet. Thank you!

@OurJourneyInMyles 4 года назад

Thanks for the kind words Dave. Sue & I were embarrassed when we first started to see the numbers coming in, but really couldn't see changing too much along the way without a drastic change in our "preferred" ease of living. We are planning an update soon that will capture some tire costs and additional repairs in November. Hope to at least get some good episode video for my money!

@curtwalp5120 5 лет назад

Found you through NextExit. Think I'll stay awhile. Very informative. Safe travels and good health.

@gretchenvogel5455 5 лет назад

Hi! New subscriber here :-) Thank you for taking the time to educate us with your experiences which can help with our future experiences as well :-) I’m a huge fan of anything safety related so thank you for mentioning about the tires 👍🏻

@OurJourneyInMyles 5 лет назад

Your welcome. When I first started out, I was looking to Bob & Pearl from the RU-vid channel "Next Exit" to provide guidance. After one year, we finally had some additional data for everyone to use, so we published it. So glad Bob further crunched the numbers to show where the two of us differ in our spending. On his channel (Next Exit-RU-vid) he illustrated the two different styles of traveling that explained the spending spread.

@JustPassingThru 5 лет назад

GREAT VIDEO, we thoroughly enjoyed this video and it was the first one I had seen from someone RVing in the Tourist Mode like you mentioned, which is what most folks probably imaging when they are thinking of retirement and traveling in an RV. We have watched most of your videos and it is more than evident you go to fun places and enjoy your travels and if it is ok, I think I would like to reference this video to our viewers on our channel in one of our upcoming videos as I think it paints a very nice picture of the"Retired Tourist RV Lifestyle" that many folks may be wanting to try out... I am sure we will meet you somewhere along the way and I am looking forward to that day.

@OurJourneyInMyles 5 лет назад

We would be honored to have you refer viewers to our slightly "out of control" travel style. You are ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON, when you say many people project and imagine they will always be in tourist mode once they go FT. Let me tell you, if we had to work full time yet during the week, there is NO WAY we would have the time and energy to be tourists. It is exhausting week after week,.....but someone has to carry the torch., so WE have volunteered! We are able to do this for a number of reasons. First is that we have zero debt. We sold our house, and banked the entire proceeds for our "Exit Plan". Doing this allowed us to be "all in" mentally, without worrying about the stick & brick taxes, up keep, shoveling, grass mowing, furnace failures, etc. while we are living in the RV. (The RV has tons of OTHER things I now have to worry about. ) Who needs that burden when your a 1000 miles away for the 5 years plus we may be on the road? We are blessed with EACH having a pension. So glad I was a union mechanical engineer and Sue was a union art teacher. I am on Social Security. I selected a young wife, (62) and have to pay the price of no social security check,.......yet. We saved at least 20% of our combined pay checks, and built up a great 401k, because we were told to by all the older smart people we knew! So glad we listened. If your young, DO WHAT IT TAKES TO GET A PLAN GOING! Seems like one day I was 29, and the next day I was 65! When I saw your latest episode where you call out "I'm Not Lost I'm RVing", I went and watched it and thought OMG this comparison they did was fantastic. Too bad they didn't know about us,....we could of been their poster child of the AARP Senior Citizen "Retired Tourist RV Lifestyle". This would be a great Facebook Group! Thank you for the offer of a shout out. Your featured video link already made a difference......

Thank you so much for this video!

We started planning, so your information is very helpful to understanding the cost involved, things to think about. I have subscribed and look forward to your future videos.

@OurJourneyInMyles 5 лет назад

Dean, truth be told we had an absolutely stunning "shout out" from a channel called "Next Exit-RU-vid". This channel is the budgeting channel that I watch. They made our channel look so good as they talked about it, that Sue & I had our jaws drop. Bob & Pearls channel has 10,000 subscribers that are the perfect demographic for our style of travel. We would still have 291 subscribers without their kind comments,...........period. Thank you everyone for stopping by!
