If you’re dreaming of living in your RV or motorhome but worried about costs, this budget provides a rough outline of what you should start thinking about in terms of costs.

Like any budget, things can vary dramatically, from country to country, but also your preferences for things like food and activities.

You should then end up with a rough monthly cost. You can then work out how much savings you have or your expected income during that time and ensure you’re staying cashflow positive.
