RV Spending - November 2019

We finally had a month where I didn’t want to crawl in a hole and die whenever I looked at our spending. This month was way better on our pocketbooks, partially because we didnt have any major RV issues and partly because we spend longer at each place. In fact, the next two spots we are going we are spending a month at each to see what the perfect amount of time is for us (that, and it’s hella cold everywhere else).

Food

We didn’t really go out that much to eat, compared to previous months. There were not as many options for dining aside from fast food in the smaller towns we stayed in. However, we did discover our new love for Chicken Express.

Groceries: $945

Eating Out: $276

Gas

Going to fewer places means less gas needed. We did, however, spend a lot more time exploring the towns so we filled up the bike quite a bit. 40+ mpg on that thing is absolutely amazing.

Gas: 312

Entertainment

Heading down toward a more metropolitan town meant more options for things to see and do. This month was extremely expensive as we paid for a few once-in-a-lifetime experiences (coming soon: fishbirds!). We paid for an animal encounter at SeaWorld, as well as prix fixe menu for us and our friend Tyler for when he comes down next month. While it may be expensive, I’d much rather have our money go to experiences than have to spend it on new tires.

Entertainment: $1,151

RV Repairs

None! Nada! Nothing!

RV Repairs: $0

RV Parks

We had previously paid for our stays at the US Army Corps of Engineer Parks, so this month was much cheaper due to Past Jakki having taken care of the cost already.

RV Parks: $220

Propane

We ended up cutting it close in Comanche with the propane and ran out of propane for our grill as well as pretty close to empty in the RV. Luckily small town deals paid off, and we filled up both the RV and gas grill container for less than the half fill we had gotten the previous month.

Propane: $38

Grand total for November: $2942
