What I would like to know is what I could expect to spend on a 6 month trip starting in Fl. Going to CA up to Washington back to NY and down to Fl. Again. I have calculated the mileage and added about 10% for fuel, Worked out a food budget. I do not know what to calculate for overnight and one month stays at parks etc. or repairs and that sort of thing. We are looking for our first Class A or for that matter motor home ever. We did have a 34 foot boat that we lived on for 6 months and enjoyed it for four years so I know we can deal with the space issue. I am retired and on fixed income now so I do not want to extend myself and find I am short cash half way through the trip. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
