RV LIVING COSTS: How much does it REALLY cost to full time RV?



So how much does it really cost to full time RV for a year? In this video we share what our RV living costs were for the year, what we spent, how we budgeted, and all our unexpected expenses! Along with a detailed breakdown of our monthly expenses and annual totals by category whether it be lodging, gas, car/RV maintenance and repairs while working remotely with jobs and filmmaking as YouTubers.

Our Story
Nathan and I met my senior of college. He had recently moved back to the states after living in Italy. When I learned about the lifestyle he’d been creating for himself over the last 6 years:

6 months in Cambodia, 1 year in Germany, 2 years in Italy… I was blown away.
I guess I never imagined living that way was an option unless you had a lot of money.

Nathan would work in California for 2 years, save every dollar he could, move abroad, find a job in that country, live there for 1-2 years and then do it all over again. Each time, he’d learn the language of that country, acquire new skills & make lifelong friends.

After about 12 months of prepping (and saving), we were ready for our first big adventure together. So we packed our bags and made the BIG move to Australia!

Nathan worked as a private personal trainer and I was a marketing consultant.

After spending 3 years there and getting to travel to some seriously awesome destinations on that side of the world, we were hooked! We promised ourselves that we had to find a way to work and travel full time together!

We then re-organized our lives for remote work and continued to travel, even if it meant taking a pay cut at first.

And then added “making videos” to the mix (starting with just our iPhones!) hoping to SHARE all the amazing things we’d experience along the way.

Currently, we’re planning our second year of RVing across the USA. It doesn’t always look pretty but we’re gonna make it fun either way!

The grind and hustle we put in to our jobs and videos has been quite full on and the support from people has been amazing. Our ultimate dream is go all-in on video production and be able to cut back our hours working other jobs.

Thank you for supporting!

  • Dude has a full minute for an intro, little excessive guy. Definitely not subscribing you bums.

  • What a great video. Thanks for all the insight. New to the channel and enjoying all we've seen so far.
    We're recently retired and looking forward to traveling North America. I think many sugarcoat the reality of rv travel to sell their channel, not everyday is sunshine and warm breezes. Hope you got to drive through our little piece of Paradise here in the Yoop (Upper Peninsula of Michigan).
    Looking forward to viewing more videos 🤙🇺🇲🇨🇦

  • Man cut some from that budget n buy a mic..wtf

  • How do I schedule a stay at a national or state park every thing I look at I so open ended I'm not sure how to go about it

  • Definitely a tire fund for trailer tires. Good Year endurance tires have done me very well. Considering you were using a 1/2 ton suv I think you all did very well not having bigger expenses that's alot of weight to move around. Last your attitudes are great . Stay healthy, stay happy!

  • Awesome video, really informative thanks!

    For the internet situation, Google Fi provides unlimited WiFi HotSpot data, it uses AT&T and T-Mobile, depending on which has a better signal. I work remote now a days and it's saved me so much headaches when traveling.

    Cheers, keep up the great content.

  • If you are a disabled veteran you can get a national parks life time pass for free

  • One thing that I just thought of when you were talking about your expensive equipment. The door keys on campers are almost generic I find. I’ll bet if you tried your key on 10 different campers, your key would work in at least one other camper. Change your lock out.

  • How do you guys stay in shape. You eat so much crap?

  • What are the side jobs you do online to make money. I would love a side gig. Plus, how do you find out about them?

  • great video!! what editing software do you use? You earned a subscriber.

  • This is incredibly helpful as my husband and I consider full time RVing!! Thank you! I've watched several similar videos from other people and this one has been one of the most informative, honest and organized. But maybe that is because I really enjoy watching you guys. You guys are definitely my fave.
    I am curious, you guys mention your regular jobs for income, as hard as you guys work on your videos and the quality of them, does it produce any revenue for you? Any tips for getting started with youtube and creating a following? (I plan to look through the comments to see if this has been asked and answered before because I'm sure you get tired of answering the same question over and over…but just in case).
    You guys rock! Look forward to seeing what 2022 brings for you guys and hope to run into you guys in an RV park along the way one of these days. =)

  • I was thinking of getting the hybrid Toyota Tacoma and a trailer rv to avoid 1) $1k+ rent and 2) gas prices

  • My wife and I drove to marathon Florida from Delaware and back….spent $70 in tolls and most of the fees were from Florida.

  • Illinois tolls are a scam! My wife and I took our honeymoon last year and drove through 20 states from California to Illinois to see her family. Our two tolls totaled $9, and they sent us a bill for $27. Then we couldn't fight it even after trying so that was just a racket. It's the principal more than the actual money.

    Great video you two! If you are ever in the Sacramento area and need a place to crash for a few nights shoot me a message!

  • you guys rock ty for this video, that gives me an idea 💡 save for a house get an RV, travel on weekends ty so much this helps dudes that's what about seeing nature bro ty homies.

  • I’m a owner operator & believe me that’s amazing fuel prices

  • uuuugh. I am an Illinois resident and we ALL get screwed by our tollways!

  • Great video, very informative and entertaining. Had my wife and I laughing the whole way through. Going back to start from the beginning. Cheers y'all!

  • I'm an American looking to get a 462 visa but on the immi home affairs website for the visa it states "Every program year we grant a limited number of first Work and Holiday visas to applicants from each eligible country except the United States of America". Does this mean Americans can not get this visa as of 2022 or am I interpreting it wrong?

  • Hi enjoying your channel. I live in Idyllwild and refinanced this year so house payment went from $1,400 to $1,200. So what you did on lodging isn’t to much different. Except we wouldn’t go full time probably so we would still have our mortgage too. Anyway it was really good how you explained everything! I saw you enjoyed a sandwich at Sherman’s, but did you try their famous coconut pie 🥧?
