what's up guys it's Sam here again and today we are talking about how much it
costs to live in RV for a month but first I'd like to give a shout-out to my
over 200 subscribers now I know it doesn't sound like a ton but it means a
whole lot to me it means 200 people actually care about the things I say and
I'm actually learning something from my videos so I seriously appreciate it so
much guys if you're new to the channel please hit the subscribe button yeah so
let's go inside and get to this whiteboard and get started
so the first thing I wanted to go over are bills these are things that I've
acquired attempting to get onto the road they include the payments for my truck
and my fifth wheel trailer so the first thing is truck my truck payment cost me
three hundred and sixty-five dollars my other monthly payment is my trailer the
monthly costs for my trailer is one hundred and sixty nine dollars my last
monthly payment is my insurance my insurance bill comes out to a hundred
and thirty eight dollars per month
the next thing I want to cover is living expenses
when you're living on the road most of these living expenses can be categorized
into three major groups and that is gas
food and shelter
and remember this is what I spent in the last 28 days the first thing is gas in
the last 28 days I spent three hundred and thirty one dollars on gas and that
is with a move I moved from Colorado all the way to the desert in Arizona so
pretty long trip usually I don't travel that far so that may be less some months
it may even be more some months if I'm traveling around a lot
the next expense is food I usually spend about $200 per month on food that gives
me about fit about $50 a week and I find that that covers all of my food expenses
I don't really go out to eat so I don't have that expense I only cook at home
and I try to cook as cheaply as possible utilizing things like crock pots and
just batch cooking and buying things in bulk lastly we have shelter this month I
spent four hundred and forty nine dollars on a campground and that is
all-inclusive electric water sewer plus free Wi-Fi now this is a
figure that's going to change monthly depending on the campground that you're
staying at now I usually pay for the monthly rate like this rather than
trying to do weekly or daily and moving around more because I find it saves me a
lot of money in the long run especially because I don't have to pay for these
things my rig doesn't have solar or any type of clean water system or anything
like that so I really rely on my own campgrounds to get most of my to get
most of my necessities I use a ton of electricity and I use Wi-Fi all the time
uploading videos so it's things that I need in the future I hope to upgrade my
system the solar so I do so I can boondock more and you
free camping places but for now I spend about 450 or 500 dollars a month on
campgrounds so that brings our total monthly cost for the last 28 days to 16
hundred and fifty-two dollars I don't know if you can see that better
so there you have it guys those are my monthly expenses the only thing that I
didn't add in I didn't add in like big purchases that I make each month I
usually make like one quote-unquote large purchases each month something
like camera gear spent a hundred dollars or something like that but it's usually
just once a month and that doesn't really have to do with my monthly
expenses so I didn't throw that in yours might differ a little bit you know you
might spend less money on housing say you might not pay for a campground you
might boondock and spend more money on food you might go out to eat more than I
do but all in all that's a general just
consensus of what I pay each month like what my solid monthly expected monthly
expenses are every single month alright guys I hope you learned something from
