During my divorce, I lived in my 1970 Holiday Rambler full time. 3 years ago, or was $275/ month for full hookups. It was an old mobile home park. As mobile homes became un repairable, they'd make the spots into spots for campers/RV'S. For the most part, the campers were contractors and military personal. I loved hearing the base play Tapps every night. BTW my wonderful new GF and I now own 3 vintage trailers, 1 '66 Shasta that we turned into a coffee and milkshake trailer. The Rambler is stored in Asheville NC I'll have a video up next Friday about the KOA East Ashville. It's probably our favorite non state park.

I truly consider the Harverst Host to be the worst subscription an Rver can buy, almost a scam... You pay a fee, not cheap, to have an opportunity to expend money at a place while you park there... The plan with the golf courses option will be even more expensive as the round will cost at leat $25 per person You need to get at the places early and leave next day early, most of the places we stayed we ended up spending more than we would spend at a campground with full hookups.

It's fun comparing expenses. We have been on the road over 8 years and it's interesting to compare year to year even on how things change. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. That’s a good reference point for someone who is thinking about RVing

Great videos! It’s below zero here in Minnesota!!

Good information I spent $4000 on campgrounds in 90 days. But we only go out for 90 days a yr. We hit mostly the hot spots, including Glacier for 12 days.

Do you realize the amount of money spent on storage unit would buy a nice mini barn in 3-5 years? Consider having one of your kids keep the mini barn on their property and keep the mini barn when you are able to part with the extra stuff. Win-win for you and them.

Hi Tom, Could you consolidate and share the expenses in a nice summary?

Good info you guys put out. I am a quarter time RVer (3-4 months a year). I go mostly to national, state/town parks and boondocking near a town/city that I want to see. I don't go boondocking for the sake of boondocking.

I just love all the information you provide on your channel. Useful, practical tips that could be a life changer for many. You guys rock! I so enjoy watching and respect your efforts in creating videos as a reference point with amazing helpful tools. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there! 👍🏼💕 In my prayers daily 🙏🏻🌷🤗

Great video! Thank you so much for sharing/disclosing all the costs involved. Love the crunching leaves 🍁 and scary ending! 👻. YIKERS!

Love your guys videos!!! lots of helpful info!!!! A lover of apples and Wisconsin cheese curds too!!!!

Greta info for us weekend worriors thinking of going full-time.

Your videos keep getting better ☺️

I appreciate your hard work to provide great RV info...............Thomyt

Date is December 2020. Why are people not wearing masks 😷

The Samsung Galaxy A11 is an awesome basic phone for a low cost. It's offered by multiple providers. I have AT&T and was able to replace my old phone, which was long overdue, for about $180 plus tax and fees. Out the door was less than $200 and I was not required to change or renew my contract with AT&T.

So what does this break down to per month? Most of the RU-vid RV couples I follow live on around $2500 to $3500 per month.

I appreciate all the expense breakdown, but what I didn't see is the overall savings on camping fees by having all those memberships. Was there an overall savings? For instance, one of those memberships was $995 per year and if you could save $20 per night as an example it would take over 50 nights to re-coop your upfront money per year!

so really...even though your annual costs were around $8.5K, thats because you have discounts with thousand trails, thousand trails coast to coast, Coast to coast, etc. Plus additional annual fees. So that would actually make your nightly costs higher if i'm correct?

Thanks Tom & Cheri great video.Stay safe ,Scott Holmen Locker

Enjoyed meeting your daughter! Tips great! Costly to RV fulltime, am sure your job of the show helps! A lot of work! Ordering the Be Kind t-shirts! 👍🏻🥰

I pay more in rent for a 1 br apt in a year than you guys paid for campgrounds. It’s almost double $16,200. Not including utilities and the rest of my bills like food, car payments, insurance ect. I spend more on tolls getting to work a year than you did lol NJ is expensive

So can't wait to be on TV he road. Living in the RV full time is ok, just wish we could hit the road! Thank you for sharing, you have all helped me get through the last few months of being in my own bubble, ( since March). I look so forward to hitting the road. Be safe an where you all at now? Hopefully warm!!

Really enjoyed your transparency! Thank you so much for sharing ,👍🏻🖖🏻🙏🏻

Did y'all find a fix for your kayak problem? If not I was at a harbor freight the other day and they had a 4" double hitch that looks like if you use the top one it would raise the kayaks about 6" more from the ground. It said it rated for 500 lbs. just a suggestion

it helps that u both still work. im glad u got to spend time with toms family

the RV crushes truck bit me this year as well. my Montana bit my 2020 GMC Denali.

Always a pleasure having *States shared by you where I've never been-Wisconson 😎. Colors of leaves are fabulous in their life cycle turnover 🍂🍁! Wish I had an *E-bike, by the way....stay out of 'Spooky woods 👻

Im in NC living in a 35ft 1997 Jayco Designer, hopefully i can upgrade one day.. It's primitive but cozy

My stays are in the 900 range with full hookup

Could you do a review on the truck hitch and rv. Gas mileage, quality and how everything works.is it possible to tow the Jeep behind the fifth wheel also maybe how much you saved with your memberships compared to costs

Rv payment + camping fees ~ 1400\month is pretty low rent.

I am watching old videos to prepare for this year. I am being forced into retirement due to a heart condition. I wanted three more years, but here we are. I have money coming in from retirement funds, just not sure I won't have to work at least part time. 3-4 months a year.

Hi Tom Pete from Ct. just love your videos!

FMCA TechConnect benefit has Sprint unlimited internet for $50 a month. I've used it coast to coast with very few places having no service. I also have the Verizon unlimited (throttled at 25gb though) for $50/mo for those places no access with sprint. Plus if I am not in a place where I need my own internet I can put them on vacation and only pay about $10/mo.

I drive from Navy Station Great Lakes (North Chicago) to Wyoming cutting MN a lot.

Starlink should be the best internet option for most areas and especially in areas unserved by cellular. By the middle of next year it should be a viable option for most of the US and Canada, with faster speeds and lower latency than cellular, especially if the current pricing stays permanent at $100/month for unlimited data.

It would be interesting to see how much of the expenses you pay are deductible from your income taxes because you're content providers for social media. Is your fuel and maintenance expenses deductible from income taxes? Is the cost of the vehicle loans deductible? Are your membership fees and campground fees deductible from income taxes? Can you deduct the cost of meals from restaurants or the cost of meals eaten in your RV from your taxes? Can you deduct costs for space in your RV as a home office? What about the costs for buying devices such as a computer, cell phone, etc. How much content for social media do you have to provide before the IRS allows deductions for fuel, vehicle maintenance, campground, membership fees, etc?

Hello, I've been watching you guys for a while now. Great videos/information and editing anyway it inspired me to sell everything I own for the most part and we bought a truck a 2019 F-150 and I bought a 2000 34-ft Montana 7k cash and went to TX. From KC. MO. for the past two months we have been at the country living retreat in mineral Wells Texas. Only $340 a month everything included even Wi-Fi.

So cool, we are from WI, we will have to meet up with you guys in lacrosse when you are in the area again. 😁

Love the shout out to Lake Neshonoc - in the 1970's my parents had a permanent site at one of the lakeside sites there.

Great video! Thank you. How many miles would you say you cover in a single year?

Dead Horse Ranch! One of my favorite places! ❤️🌵

Have you ever done any cost analysis on staying at harvest host locations? Are you more prone to spend money at the harvest host location then you would have at a dry campsite?

please clarify if you included membership costs with campground fees to get your total yearly cost.

Thanks for that information Tom and Cheri.

Wow! I am surprised on some of the yearly costs, storage for $66 hard to find?

Northern Wisconsin at a resort,1600 ayear on two lakes . Hayward area!

Good Job Tom

I past Sunshine the other day and thought about you guys. I was thinking they were Thousand Trails. That place is nice!!!

Thanks for sharing this information. It gives me an idea whar items to budget for. Do you guys have a rainy day fund for those unexpected situations?

Great video. Wishing Yawl a Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year. Stay Safe and God Bless.

I want to buy a couple of your sons T shirts but I can’t find how to buy them.

How is your kayak on the back of your rig when on the move?

Love the VLOG shared with some friends that are full timing it. Blessings always. G & L

What was the grand total don't think I seen it

Loved the content. Happy travels!

Your camping fee totals for the year include your discount programs?

The Beebs!! Homeboy here in Waterloo Region Ontario!

great program! thanks

Great video. Question... Is your 8,000 ish campground fees pretty much all your memberships? So, you mostly stay for free after getting your membership and paying for annual fees?

Great info guys!!

Check into curb and turf. They are rel atively new.

Great information thanks for sharing 👍😊 safe travels 🚐

yearly living 9750 daily price 26.71 same lot yearly

Boondocking, to some people, has nothing to do with what it costs.

What ebike do you have

Darn! Wish I would have know you were in my backyard! Would have been nice to meet up and I could have shown you some other great places. Safe Travels!

I GO HOME EVERY 6 weeks for 5 days unless there something going on worth covering

Helpful info. Thanks!

Does that ‘8600’ in annual camping fees including those membership costs detailed or in addition to them? Thank you!!

Awesome video great info

How about health insurance? What have you found for that? I am looking and am not sure where to look.

Sorry if you touched on this, but did you include the initial campground membership fees in your total, or just the annual maintenance dues and nightly costs? I’m trying to figure out if the costs will then be much lower next year, because you incurred the membership purchase this year. Thanks and great videos...K

Good info. We are not full timers though.

what about koa

I like the ending

Come to Greens RV park in Pauls valley and come see me! Let’s hangout

Look at nomad internet

Did you finance your 15 year RV loan through a dealer or personal banking?

So did you guys ever look into a used luxe toy hauler? In my opinion they seem like a very good product

You guys are beautiful and amazing. Thank you very much for making me smile.

special jeep edition spot gen4 satellite gps how does it work

Just joined Thouand trails and Boondockers Welcome with them 2 you be good for the year cost not much

Why is any one not wearing masks

Are there cost savings if you pay your Thousand Trails dues in one lump sum verses making monthly payments?

Idk have u y'all done a video on like besides u tube how do u afford everything, and thank u for sharing your expenses.

Tow that Jeep behind that fifth wheel

Blair Witch Project?! Funny, I live just about a 20 minute drive from where those kids filmed that.

Was this mostly filmed pre-pandemic?

Mary merry Christmas to you all and may God bless you🙏😇🙏😇❤️🙏😇❤️🙏😇❤️🙏😇

What was your total for one year? I missed it..I guess I was stirring my gumbo😂🤗

u don't have to worry about snakes or gators like Florida.

Nice

I found out pretty quickly I could not afford to be an RVer as a single retired woman. Expenses to maintain constant breakdowns far exceeded home/car expenses. 😢

Let us know how the covid is

Please reupload without the Justin who cares comment. Stick to relevant content.

You got it dicked !! You get run all over and have fun and lead a stress free life and get to go wheeling in the jeep
