One of the first things to tackle when you consider hitting the road is the budget. There are so many things to consider...sell or rent the house, what type of rig will you travel in, how long will you stay in one place, etc. And then there are the things you might forget to add, like annual membership fees, fulltimers insurance, attraction fees, etc. After scouring the internet for months, we found a budget worksheet at http://www.hometownrv.com that we feel is pretty thorough (we'll see once we hit the road). We used it to plan our trip, with a few modifications. It is offered free to download. Once we've been on the road for a while and have real data, we'll give you ballpark figures for some of the categories. Until then, this should get you off to a good start.
