 This is our second year on the road, this time I was determined to save a little money. I had discovered a few secrets in our first year; 1. Stay a week, or even a month and save. 2. High end RV resorts are great, but sometimes the cost is too much. 3. The season and location make a difference in costs. 4. Maybe TRY boondocking more? 5. Still like my creature comforts. This year, we did so much better on our monthly average. In the first eleven months of 2022, we have averaged around $898 per month in nightly stays. April was our most expensive month in nightly stays, we spent $1689 for the month. Here is a breakdown (approximately.) January  January we were snowbirds so we stayed a month in one location. $865.00 for the month. February We stayed in four different (private) RV parks as we started our trek from the east coast to the west coast. South Caroline, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. We stayed almost 10 days in one park. Cost for the month $923.00 March Route 66 - we started just outside of St Louis. With the exception of one night (we moochdocked) we stayed in private RV parks, most averaging under $40 to $45 per night. Cost for the month $1510.00 April Route 66 through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, then into Nevada (Lake Mead - private park) and Las Vegas and ending in St George. All private parks.
