There are ways to reduce the costs in each area. Choose those things that work for you.
Fuel - One of the first things to look at is how far you are going. We often overlook very interesting places that are right in our own back yards, simply because they are right in our own back yard. The grass is not always greener on the other side. One of the biggest costs of your RV vacation is the fuel to get there. Look a little closer to home.
