In fact, finances are sadly what hold back so many people from pursuing this dream.<\/p>\n You may find that camper life is more doable financially than you thought!

Let’s dive in!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/rvnomadjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gamble-46-768×1024.jpeg” alt=”Sunset At RV Campground – Cheap RV Living” title_text=”RV Camping Sunset” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n I want to be super honest here and say that full-time RVing<\/strong> isn’t always a cheap lifestyle! In fact, RV living costs more than we originally planned, and I will explain why below.<\/p>\n Most travelers living in an RV full-time spend between 3,000-5,000 per month. The cost varies widely depending on your family size and how you decide to travel.<\/p>\n Some living in an RV full time spend as little as $1,600 per month, but we have also seen families that spend $6,000 or more each month.<\/p>\n Our family of 3 averages about $4,500 on an average month of traveling, but it can be much higher if we have RV repairs.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n It can be cheap to live in an RV, but most people full-time RV living find out that there are many hidden expenses that make it more expensive than they planned.<\/p>\n The largest expense that makes RV living cost more than most travelers expect is RV repairs and maintenance.<\/p>\n There are very frequent repairs needed in RVing, and this can get extremely expensive at times.<\/p>\n We always recommend that when you create your RV living budget, that you factor in a few hundred dollars each month on repairs and maintenance because most months will have something unexpected to pay for.<\/p>\n It also helps to have a savings account for unexpected costs. For example, if your RV has to go in for repairs, you may need to spend an extended amount of time in a hotel.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n There are some simple ways to keep costs down to make RV living cheaper. Here are a few quick ways to maximize your budget while full time camper living.<\/p>\n Campgrounds can be one of the largest expenses in the RVing lifestyle. Full time RVing<\/strong> for cheap<\/a> often means boondocking or dry camping for free versus paid campgrounds.<\/p>\n Taking advantage of free overnight stays en route to a destination in allowed parking areas, such as some casinos, Cabellas, Walmart, and Cracker Barrels, can really help stretch your RV budget.<\/p>\n Always verify that each location allows RVers to park overnight. Each location has different rules, and some don’t allow RVs to stay.<\/p>\n You can also find campground savings<\/a> such as campground memberships and discount programs if you would rather stay with hookups.<\/p>\nCan I Afford To RV Full Time?<\/h2>\n
