December was another cheaper month. It was kind of a mixed bag as far as expenses since we spent 10 days staying with family. Even though we rushed from Southern Florida to Austin, we didn't drive too much. Our biggest expenses were a little bit of maintenance and some sightseeing in a national park.
Maintenance: After a lot of searching, we finally found a spare wheel online at hubcaphaven.com. We had the tire mounted at Discount Tire, and bought a fuel filter and some o-rings at AutoZone.
New wheel + mounting: $193.95
AutoZone: $31.37
RV running total: $19,637.86
Fuel: As always, if you're interested, go check out our Fuel log. December was a pretty light driving month since we decided to rush to Texas, but then hung out there and didn't drive the RV at all for 10 days.
Gas: $502.59
Propane: $19 - This took us from all the way empty to all the way full
Food: $544 - Again, we did a good job not eating out. We did go to quite a few restaurants in Austin, but we also did a lot of big group meals with the family that brought expenses down.
RV Stickers / Postcards / Birthday and Christmas cards: $21
Lodging: $90 - We spent a night at Days Inn and $10 for a couple of nights at Big Cypress.
Sightseeing: $127.44 - we took 2 trips onto the water at Biscayne National Park, since it really is the only way to see it.
Phone and Internet: $76 - Did a bit better than previous month staying off data. Probably had a lot to do with time with family, who had wifi, and utilizing public libraries.
Total December travel expenses: $1583.76
Total cost of the trip so far: ~$30150 - This includes the RV and all of it's repairs, insurance and maintenance
Days Traveling: 142
Cost / person / day : 106.15
