RV Spending - Covid Edition

Our spending has been all over the place since we have started staying in place. This is a compilation of our expenses for March, April and May 2020.

Food

When stores started running out of things, we ordered a bunch of freeze dried food and MREs, which are now sitting in our storage bay for emergencies. Meat has gotten more expensive, and the normally cheap small town grocery stores have us paying a premium. In March we went out to get tacos before everything closed up, and now that restaurants are back open we are trying to go out and support local businesses (masks on, compliant as possible).

Groceries: $2,317

Eating Out: $484

Gas

Our last minute changes to shelter in place had us drive across three states in two days. I dont know that we have ever been more exhausted.

Gas: $757

Entertainment

Our entertainment has consisted of motorcycle rides up the mountains and exploring the deserts. The cost is almost entirely Ron’s new drone.

Entertainment: $2,052

RV Repairs

We’ve taken the opportunity to upgrade our solar, get new tires for the bike, install a new vent fan in the ceiling, and new flooring in the RV.

RV Repairs: $2,583

RV Parks

We’ve had to cancel all our west coast reservations and pay for new ones for the few months in Colorado.

RV Parks: $1,558

Propane

We had a few fill ups from cold nights.

Propane: $45

Grand total for March, April and May: $8,912

Average a month: $2,970
