Expense Report: January

January was one of our cheapest month yet. Between being broken down for a week and spending a week in the Dominican Republic, we didn't drive much and we spent most of the money for our Dominican Republic trip (flights and pet sitter) in advance.

Maintenance: We only had the new fuel tank this month.

New Fuel Tank: $112.03
RV running total: $19,749.89

Fuel: As always, if you're interested, go check out our Fuel log. January was an extremely light driving month. As mentioned above, we were stuck for one week, in Atlanta for a while and out of the states for a week, so no surprise there.

Gas: $238.24

Propane: $17.01 - We only had to fill up once because we had two whole weeks where we didn't need it.

Food: $228.15 - We were fed a lot by Tom and Joanna, RĂ¼diger and Maggie and by Anna, which food expenses are captures in the Week in the DR section. We did do a really good job not eating out the rest of the time as well ($137 of the $229 were groceries).

RV Stickers / Postcards / Birthday and Christmas cards: $4

Week in the DR: $711 - Anna payed for everything while we were there, so we need to reimburse her. This money included sightseeing in the national park tours, whale watching and all our food and bus / taxi expenses.

Phone and Internet: $55.23 - This is mostly late December to early January usage. We spent a large part of December in Austin and the first week of the new year at Tom and Joannes, both had WiFi.

Total January travel expenses: $1365.66

Total cost of the trip so far: ~$31516 - This includes the RV and all of it's repairs, insurance and maintenance
Days Traveling: 173
Cost / person / day : 91.09
