Real Cost of Full-Time RV Living (From Someone Who Actually Lives It)

Welcome to another episode of Travels With Dottie! In today’s video, I break down the truth about the cost of full-time RV living — not just numbers, but real, lived experience.

This video was inspired by a frustrated post I read from someone seeking honest answers about RV budgets. The truth? There is no one-size-fits-all number — and I explain why. From $180 seasonal boondocking in Quartzsite to $1,500 luxury RV resorts, you get to choose your level of comfort and expense.

I share:

My real-world monthly costs

The difference between RV parks vs. RV resorts

Why budget advice online is often misleading

Maintenance realities (and my luck with a Ford F-150!)

Inspiring stories of RVers thriving on less than $1,000/month

The freedom to switch between frugal and luxury living at will

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to live this lifestyle — this is the most honest, direct, no-BS video I’ve made in a long time. Hope it helps you on your journey.

Key Points Covered:

Why most RVers won’t share their budget (and why that’s okay)

What I actually spend — from utilities to RV repairs

How people thrive on under $1,000/month

The biggest financial traps new RVers fall into

RV inspections, maintenance, and my secret weapon: flexibility
