Hello All,
We (Paul 38, Ann-Marie 33) are planning a 6 month tour of the US.
The plan is to buy (ideally) a Diesel Pusher RV for around $80k cash, ideally with 2 slides and no older than 2003.
Q1. Do you think our budget/expectations are realistic ? If not, why not ?
We are planning to rent our 2 properties in the UK to fund the day-to-day costs of our "adventure".
Q2. How much do Full-Timers spend (roughly) per week on the vehicle, fuel, food, eating out 2 nights, misc items ? (I know its only a very rough guide but we are wondering if we would get by on $500 per week, considering we would want to access various attractions, parks etc).
Q3. Which States are the cheapest for buying/registering the RV - even better if you know how it affects things with us being non-residents in the US.
Q4. We want to do a full tour of the US (and maybe Canada). We won't be starting until September - just how bad is the weather over there during the winter.
Wow - I think I had better leave it at that for now.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Paul and Ann-Marie
