D Santi The experience is similar but, for example, a schoolie would be superior if built right. Typical RVs cost many thousands of dollars. A range of $25,000 to $100,000 or higher. I’ve spent days looking. It’s insane. But you can make a “schoolie” which is a school bus RV by buying a school bus for no more than $5K, ideally $3K, and then renovate it yourself to be your “hotel” on wheels. Complete with refrigerator, full size bed, bathtub and shower, full kitchen, nice living room with your own WiFi to stream your Netflix and hulu and amazon prime tv, play your Xbox. Go for bike rides using the bike you got in the garage part of the back of the bus. Etc. So long as you build your schoolie with a electricity source like solar and a good high capacity battery bank like lead acid batteries or lithium ion batteries or my favorite: Inergy inc batteries. Total renovation investment never is above $15K. Meaning you have a fully built schoolie for total investment of $20K. Which will always pay itself back because you spend over $20K in your lifetime traveling using hotels and lodging if you’re like me and travel every single year. So it’s a good investment. Buses are different from cars too. Most people cry when their car approaches 60,000 miles or even 100,000 miles. But buses easily can go over 500,000 miles no problem and are easy to fix and are less costly to fix if you purchase the right bus from the start (don’t get a bus from a coastal school system because they will have rust). The answer to your statement is the experience is similar but the small differences make a huge world of difference financially. You save a lot of money with a schoolie versus going to hotels all the time and or just using a car. Good hotels are $100 a night or more. When I say good I mean 4 star or higher. My schoolie has everything I mentioned above. I use 375 watt solar panels on the roof totaling 2000 watts of solar. My Inergy batteries are better than lithium ion. I’ve got my own toilet and shower and full kitchen with lots of food storage. I’ve got water tanks underneath that are filled every time it rains too because I use a rain water harvesting roof and water purification system. 2000 gallons of water storage. The toilet is a nature’s head composting toilet. Doesn’t waste water. I park the bus somewhere close to the fun place we’re trying to go and I unload my SUV from the open flat bed trailer in the back and go have fun. I’ve got a motorcycle on it too. So I could take my Kawasaki 650 instead if it’s a nice day. What about when I’m not traveling? The whole thing is parked in my garage at home. They got electric school buses now too. You know that? You can even upgrade to a biodiesel bus too. Cheaper than gasoline if you got your own biodiesel processor back home. All you need is the free and used fryer oil McDonald’s dumps at the end of the day. You take that home. Put it in the processor. Check back later and you got biodiesel. Fill up your bus tank with it and if you got an auxiliary tank like I do, fill that up too to increase the driving range of your bus between fillups. Total investment: Less than $20,000 (excluding car trailer and SUV and Motorcycle and Biodiesel processor)

Thank you both for your military service! My husband 22 years in Air Force as medical doctor. I think all the military camping facilities are great. We are not RV'ers, I personally love to go out and experience US. Hubby had enough of TDYs and not the least bit interested in getting into any camper--ever. I took out 2 youngest sons when they were younger and we did 33 states including Canada and 12 weeks, hubby stayed home and took care of pets and worked. I do watch many folks who live in their RV and they seem to be having a good time. Thanks for your channel.

And whether by hard work or inheritance you were blessed with the ability to buy an RV like that and do all this I’m happy for you. For my husband and I and my medical bills (I’m 55) this wouldn’t be possible we can barely survive. I’m hoping in my next life I find my husband and we are more fortunate.

Seeing the breakdown for expenses is very helpful as we weigh the pros and cons of buying an RV and taking our family of 8 on the road part time. I wondered about 2 things: 1. Did the fuel costs you mention only include diesel for the rig or does that also include gas for your towed vehicle? 2. How much of these expenses can you "right off" as business expenses for your YT/website business? Or do you not bother to do that?

Not much boondocking. I think for me I would spend half to three-quarters of my time boondocking for free. Amenities can be nice, but for the most part I would rather be off on my own in the woods. I know a lot of this has to do with where you go and the areas you're in, but a person can plan carefully and Boondock the vast majority of the time at least in the parts of the country I like. Park in the woods for a week or two then go to an RV park for a day or two to refill water and empty holding tanks and just enjoy a park atmosphere for a day or two.

@@alanj7306 I don't remember so well what they said about boondocking. I can see how it would possibly be more expensive at times if you're having to run a generator 24/7 and if you're having to pay expensive dumping fees to empty holding tanks. Generally I would say that is the exception rather than the rule. When I go boondocking I typically will spend about $20 in fuel and $5 for dumping fee when I get home, on a 3 Day outing.
@higherho1540
@higherho1540 3 жыл бұрын
@@alanj7306 Depends on the type of RV you have but a Camper Van with a Lithium system technically isn’t more expensive to boon-dock than be at a camp site. Also, she did say boon-docking can be more expensive, but that’s for a Class A that has a lot more variables. I could imagine it would be because it doesn’t have the same systems as a Lithium Camper Van (or the mobility) to be totally off grid. The hidden costs of a Camper van for example is drastically much smaller and is still cheaper than camping at a site. Overall, boondocking is cheaper but only if you have the systems for it. They would pay out the nose for fuel because a lot of their systems depend on that. Where we would not have to worry about that.

I’m actually shocked at how inexpensive your fuel costs were. That, and the cost of insurance were 2 of my 3 biggest concerns. The third being what it will cost to plate it. Thank you. On a different note: I love your high and tight haircut. That’s exactly how my Papaw wore his hair and every time he got his hair cut he’d enter the doorway and he’d immediately put his head down so I could rub my hand over it. I’m 48 now and he passed when I was 20. I was his favorite and he was mine so to see your high and tight always makes me think of him. Keep the awesome videos coming!

I'm 48. I have pretty much worn a flat top since I was in 7th grade. I have been going to the same barber shop since I was 3. It is an art to be able to do a good flat top. Not many woman can do one. During covid my wife tried to do mine. She didn't do bad but I went back to my barber when he opened up.😄

Your expenses didn’t seem bad at all. All of them were actually less than I was expecting, especially fuel, insurance, and camping. I always pay my car and home insurance in a single payment. It definitely reduces the cost. Seems like your money was well spent and you’re loving life! Great video and God bless!

We travelled 12k miles with sprinter Class B RV, last year but spent much more than that on diesel, I think depend on where you filled your tank like CA 5$ to 5.5$ per gallon, houston 2.8 to 3.3$ per gallon. where you travelled ?I believe they were not in CA.

I have learned so much prior to us starting our journey. However, neither of us are military, we are not :) yet ;) 62 or over, we are not retired - yet, thus leaving us unable to jump in on related discounts, and found our first year (this year) had gone way over budget due to "sitting tight" and lack of job prospects (stay at home order)! Thanks to you both, we have a better budget spectrum for this next year!

NEW SUB HERE..Great INFO..THANKS, will save it for future...I and my SO have lived in our 5th wheel full time for our construction jobs, including winter, sometimes months and years. We have made some awesome friends in the towns we stayed and we're even camp hosts ourselves. This life style isn't for everyone but I enjoy it. The downfall is you are away from family for holidays, birthdays and other special events. Usually your co-workers and camping friends become your extended family and you do cookouts and other activities with them. We usually stay in private campgrounds or mobile home parks with full hook ups because of the length of our jobs...and if you are not treated well, word gets out to others in our industry to not stay at those places....Would really like to travel now and experience the other side of RV life for fun!!!..Maybe someday I'll run into you!! Life is a journey and appreciate every bend in the road...... Pam

So good that you are going for it. My wife and I are seven years in and it took a few years to learn one major lesson. It is not the miles that you travel, but the quality of the time spent. I think you need to slow it down a ton. When you travel 13,000 miles in a year, you are skipping the best of what a particular area might offer.... Much better to destination hop. That is to say, you travel a few hundred miles and spend a week seeing all that that location has to offer. Then move a few hundred more miles, and spend a while. To travel 13,000 miles in a year is extreme overkill.

I did a few months overseas. I am an AVID TRAVELER- the most traveled of anyone I know, and oddly enough… after a few months, I was satisfied and ready to stay in just one place. I imagine if I were to RV it might be similar. I think seasonal RVing sounds fun, but full time… not so much.
