Feb. 12, 2015 Here’s some info for anyone thinking they might like to try RV- ing, or are just curious how much traveling this way costs.
We are traveling in a 35 ft. Tiffin Allegro 35QBA. If your really interested in stats you can google it. We are fully self contained and can stay, conservatively five days without needing water, electric or sewer. Our gas tank holds 80 gallons. We have both gas and electric heat and refrigerator. Our propane tank holds 20 gallons. Motel / Campground Stays to date
Motel 6 Carlisle, PA. $45. One night pet room no extra charge
We stayed at the Motel 6 our first night because we would have no water if we stayed in the camper. Our systems were still winterized for CT temperatures.
Lake Leamon Campground $35 one night Full Hookup/Pull Through. Full hookup, pull through sites are generally the most expensive. No hook up (dry camping) least expensive. Huntington Beach State Park $24.75 one night Water&Electric Back in Jekyll Island. $119.70 three nights Full Hook Up / Pull Through Fort Clinch $28 one night Water & Electric Back In
Anastasia State Park $92. 40 three nights Water & Electric Back In Jonathan Dickinson State Park $57.40 two nights Water & Electric Back In

GA. 27 gal $2.02

We are towing a car and we get about 7.2 miles a gallon we could get about 8 not towing.
Food
We got Domino Pizza Deliver at the Motel 6 2 Artisian pizzas, one veggie, one meat. $21.00 + $4 tip for driver. It should have been a bigger tip. Our ferocious dog came up behind him and squeezed between his legs. The look on the poor guys face was priceless. We didn’t have any more small bills or I would have tipped him more.
Last night we went out to dinner at TooJay’s in Stuart, Fl with Lorraine. Dinner for three was $45 plus $7 tip.
Otherwise, we’re grocery shopping just like we would at home. I think our grocery bills on the road are less, because we have less storage.
We stopped at a Flying J in Georgia and filled our propane tank it took 14 gallons $44.
I hope that was interesting for whoever read it. We’re on the Florida Turnpike headed to The Keys. It is very, very difficult to get reservations at any of the State Parks here. You have to be on line 11 months to the day prior to when you want to arrive. The only way to get a site in Jan. Feb. March is Luck of the draw. We have reservations at two private campgrounds. I think one is around $60 a night and the other $70. I’ll put “statistic” updates at the bottom of my blogs.
