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 purchased our new RV on March 13th, 2009. We reset these costs and totals at that time. I decided not
to include the cost of the RV or Down Payment made at time of purchase.
As of August 15th 2017:
We have owned our RV for aprox 113 months,
We have stayed in our RV for 262 nights
(not including when we lived in it while building our new house)
We have driven our RV aprox 27789 Miles
