And cook in one. Which is the biggest money saver for us on vacation. Having to go out to eat for 2 or 3 meals a day with 2 adults and 3 kids? That'll cost you. Eating in the GMC? No more expensive than being at home. For a family of 5, with a dog, we went to the beach earlier this summer for a week. Stayed for $22 a night at a FL S.P. campground and mostly ate in the coach. With gas? We spent less than $75 a day on average. I would have spent $35 a day on just a dog sitter without the coach!
I figure I spend $1K to $2K a year on average on repairs and upgrades. That's roughly the cost of a cheap week's vacation for our family without the coach. Any other time we use the coach is cheap compared to the alternatives.
Thanks,

Sometimes we need a refresher course in the true cost. And for many of us. We can add. It's a hobby. And most hobbies ( As stated ) You have savings in the eating/sleeping. Plus the value of traveling our country's with family. We've put just over 7,000 miles on our GMC this year so far. More miles to go. Bob Dunahugh

100 octane/low lead is $4.25 a gallon for aircraft. I got 110 octane leaded for my next road race track event. That was $11.75 a gallon. In the range of 100 to 120 mph. I get around 4 mpg. So that's just under $3.00 a mile. And I generally get in 100 to150 miles a day, and toast $600 in 4 tires in the process. So. Enjoy are GMC's each day on the road. Bob dunahugh
