Current Cost and Averages
Since I am a programmer and pretty handy with a computer, I like to keep accurate records about fuel consumption, maintenance upgrades, etc.. When we got our RV it was no different, but with the RV there are some other interesting facts. We only use it every few weeks and there are specific costs (campground fees) associated with just the use of the RV, so I can also calculate the cost per night.

We have owned our RV for aprox 59 months,
We have stayed in our RV for 107 nights
