First I want to review a few key points on why I want to do this monthly RV cost review.
- I have not found any Full-Time RV living cost breakdowns
- Keep me accountable

RV Lifestyle Thoughts
I started to do some small refreshing to the RV. I bought a new showerhead that you can take off the wall. It’s crazy how luxurious this feels. I also finally replaced the light on my stove range hood.
Wouldn’t you know that I also caused a disaster? I was cleaning the outside of the back of the RV and decided to use a degreaser on it and it took the paint off the RV! White paint started to drip down the RV and at first, I was like what is this? Then I quickly realized it was the paint coming off lol. Fun times trying to refresh my RV and at the same time I make its value go down and make a mess all at once.
The good news is I replaced all the seals in the back of the RV and the paint can always be fixed. But it just goes to show how much work it is when you own the thing you live in much like home ownership.
It’s just another month in the RV adventure life.
In case you missed it here is last month’s breakdown. Keep on the journey and path!
