Traveling long distances in the MH is not as expensive as one would think. We have found that, when on the road, our monthly expenses are cut roughly by 1/3 to 1/2. Why?? You don't buy extras on the road because there is no place to store them and you'd have to carry them with you for the next 3 months. Because you are away from home, you are not spending money on that home remodel project or other such things. Cost of utilities drops way down. etc. etc. you get my drift? It is actually cheaper to be on the road than to stay home. In addition, that coach is better off on the road than sitting idle in storage.


We have found the same thing about travel expenses. Didn't believe it at first but the CFO swears that is correct. Our biggest concern is finding someone to watch over the house for us. We would be gone several weeks longer if not for this.

Next problem is getting to the spring one or home from the fall one. Many RV parks on the way to the spring or the way back in the fall are closed. Weather heading out in the spring is also a concern. I understand the difficulty of finding venues and understand the timing of the events.
