First I want to go over 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
- Track my true RV costs

RV Lifestyle Thoughts
I’m going to start to change the above costs as I have been inflating them to be honest. What I mean is I count things that I would buy even if I lived in a apartment as part of the RV costs! I don’t think that is very accurate way of doing things. But we will see I’m still undecided for now.
Still loving the lifestyle and started to work on some rust on the RV and spraying the underside with some rubberized coating to hold up over the years. Also cleaned the roof off this month!
Lastly I’m now considering moving into the schoolie life. I just really love the idea of being more mobile with my current TT setup you have to hitch it up to a truck. Not super hard yet not as easy as just driving away. Also with the bus we could start doing more urban stealth camping for FREE!
A few things I’m still working off the good old checklist…
- Clean up wires in cargo
- Maybe run wires from the roof through the ceiling

In case you missed it here is last month’s breakdown. Keep on the journey and path!
