That really isn't bad at all. 14,000 miles and the trip of a lifetime $19k isn't bad at all. Well done guys! 🙂 The two most expensive parts of RVing, well besides the cost of the RV is fuel and campgrounds. For a six month trip you did very well. I am proud of you two. 🙂
We really appreciate this honest breakdown of expenses! Glad you had a great time, and even if it was something you would never do again, you can say you've done it!! - Michelle
So true. Different strokes for different folks. Not to say it wasn’t fantastic just one and done for us. There are so many place we haven’t explored yet and many we would love to experience again. Thanks for watching guys!😊
About $100 per day! Not bad at all! A reasonable price to pay for a lifetime of pleasant, unforgettable memories. Thanks for sharing, Chris and Katrina. Hi Tucker!🙏🏾💙🤍❤️
A trip of a lifetime, and that's ALL it cost? You did even better than you think. The exchange rate in Canada is in our favor. As long as you put those expenses on your credit card, you see the exchange deducted. SO, basically, you saved money😂 Miss you guys!!
The first time I saw the Canadian rate I almost pissed myself! Then I looked at our statement and saw the adjustment. In our opinion the cost was still more expensive up there. Miss you guys!!❤
Great video guys we’ve done three Alaska trips all truck campers and absolutely melt it. The money you spend is right in line. We went quite a bit over on our last trip because we did go on a lot of excursions but we absolutely loved it. We now have a grand design solitudewhich we’re not sure if it would hold up but was thinking about next year. Have a good one thanks for a good video.
That's really good!! We spent a lot this summer on RV parks mainly cause we booked everything last minute because we were waiting to hear back from Chase's jobs. I think we are going to get boondock set up so we can cut back on that cost. Excursions can get expensive. We spent a lot this summer on excursions but it was worth it. Thank y'all for the info!!
You really saved with all the boondocking. Seeing other channels with big rigs the boondocking was not available and even dry campgrounds where high. Good call on small rig for the trip.
I love Harvest hosts but the one thing is is a lot of them are bars or wineries and if you don't drink alcohol like me and you come back to your home and your neighbors go see you pulling out all these bottles of wine and alcohol and beer and stuff are you an alcoholic I just say to my neighbors guess what you're getting for Christmas presents this year they're all looking at the imported Scotch I had so yeah well sometimes I think it's a little more expensive to buy the bottle of alcohol and it is to stay in a campgrounds but the one thing I found with Harvesters you don't have all those kids screaming and yelling too it's usually a lot quieter
All great point. Thanks for sharing. Love the Christmas present idea! We've always enjoyed the properties we stay at. More times than not the views are Amazing as well.
Honestly I think what you spent was right in line for the trip/locations you visited. I have watched many RUclipsrs and there Alaska adventures. They all say it’s worth it. It looks like an amazing time, but I think we would pass. Thank you for sharing.
Even though you guys probably wont make to Alaska we are glad you could enjoying seeing it through our videos. Safe travels and have an Awesome fall camping season.
Your trip seemed to be one in a lifetime type of trip! Thanks for sharing the whole trip with all of us. You both and Tucker were enjoyable to watch! Thanks!
Did we spend too much for a 6-month, 14,000-mile trip? Leave a comment below and tell us what you think. You can subscribe to our channel here....www.youtube.com/@oureverydaygetaway
When you spread it out over 6 months its not that bad! The only extra expense I think is the fuel and food. Great video and I loved watching your Alaska series! Thanks guys! 😀
Really appreciate your honest opinion regarding your Alaska trip and very glad you fulfilled your dream of going. Having said that...... I am sitting here wondering if flying up or cruising up for a shorter period would be "better" for "us". I admit that I have not priced out the cost of flying up or cruising up...... so it may not be much "cheaper". I guess my question to you both is "Knowing what you know now..... would you RV up or either fly or cruise ?
This was very interesting. We hope to go to Alaska in ‘25 or ‘26. Our daughter and her family lives in Fairbanks. Ideally we would travel with them into the rest of the state. Although everyone will be different because of their travel style and interests, this was really good information. For us, this would be a trip to save up for and plan. I really enjoyed your whole AK series.
I started watching you a year ago and love your content. We have lived full-time RV since 2021. We summer in Idaho and winter in Arizona. When you stayed in Kooskia Idaho you were so close. We stay in a town called Grangeville. I hope someday we get the pleasure to see you on the road.
Sorry we missed you. We will be wintering in AZ this winter. Going to the "United Rally" in Tucson Jan 14-17. If you can attend we'd love to see you there. Tickets are on sale now until I think the end of November. We will also me in the Quartzsite are for a week or two. Otherwise we will be in Phenix area Feb, March and April. Hopefully our paths cross this winter.
Hey, Before you took your Alaskan trip I told you that it was better to fly up there and rent a car and hotel package it was cheaper in the long run and it's a lot less hassle and stress so what do you think was I right or was wrong. Cuz I talked to a bunch of other people that have taken the package trip instead of driving up there the reason I said that is because they have guides and everything else that's all included in the packages and it's actually you know for the money it's a better deal. It's like going out to Arizona Quartzsite the thing is the damn dusk gets everywhere and it takes you forever to clean your rig out once you get out of the area and I'm talking about the engine compartments the everywhere it's just a pain in the butt.
No regrets on taking the trip in the class C. If we ever went again it would probably be a cruise for us. The guided tours are great but we prefer to go on our own as much as possible.
Thanks for the great info. I'm hopefully going in 2026 and have been watching a TON of videos and most of the budgets I've seen have been around $15-18K for less than, or around 3 months so I think you guys did a fantastic job (channeling my inner Chris 🤣). ~Kim
I don’t think that after you totaled everything up you spent was bad at all when you think of it. I think that it was pretty good. I think it was well worth going to Canada and Alaska. Not bad you the best thing is the memories of being there and that you went with friends. That’s what makes the memories. And you think of the fun you had. Do you think you do it again but later on? I’m glad you dud thus video it helps. Thank you for the video. I hope you have a great weekend and week. See you soon!
Y’all did great on your budget. We have been full time in a DP for two years and we move about every 2 weeks. I think we’re spending more monthly in lower 48! We don’t much boondocking except for Harvest Host. Loved following your Alaska journey and we want to do it in a few years.
We really tried to stay on budget with this trip. Maybe if we try as hard in the lower 48 we'd actually save a little on money our budget. Harvest Host is awesome we just spend way to much at them especially the wineries.🤣 Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment we very much appreciate it.😊
We took a cruise and 3 day land tour in Alaska. It cost us $15000.00 we had 7 nights on a cruise this counts air fare and everything. We said it was well worth it. Best trip ever! Next time will fly up rent a car.
Hey Chris and Katrina this was very informative and a good breakdown. When uou consider 3000 a month that was really good that is much like a budget even being at home. Thought all the categories were really reasonable amounts the only shocker was 5000 for groceris thats like 800 to 850 a month. But once you said you included the alcohol well maybe??? We may habe to start watching our budget now to make sure we are ready for the full timing. 😊 wonder who the two couples were?? 😊 Great video well done and covered perfectly!
Thankfully for us we're not huge junk food snackers. We did try to be frugal with our grocery, liquor and eating out budget. If we would have stayed any longer with one of the couples we would have gone wayyyyy over budget!🤣🤣 Just sayin!! We all know who "they" are!😁😁
@@oureverydaygetawayLOL! We never talked about this and it may be a shocker to you. We actually usually fast 18 to 24 hours everyday. We also only drink and eat on these trips we actually don't drink for anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months in between trips currently it's been a month. We also usually in between fasting we eat vegan and vegetarian! Shocker!! What killed us was our June birthdays, July long cruise , anniversary, music festivals and yes meeting up with friends in August and September! It all killed us so back to being good again we are just going to have to balance better on these trips! 😊😅 we also use to be marathoners and I think we are going to bring that back it helps! 😊
Good job, just off my credit card , fuel, eats, camp spots lot of KOA/s, budget $200 a day, we did 16,000 miles in 4 months $ 24,000 Like my brother says if you can afford it don’t do it, Have Fun
Thanks for the breakdown. We are researching a similar trip for 2026 and have a few questions you may be able to answer: We are thinking to leave our 35 foot fifth wheel in storage in favor of a class C rig. Would you buy the class C if you were to do the trip again? Was the 24 foot rig large enough for the three of you for a trip of that duration? Do you have a list of all of the campgrounds and boondocking locations you used as well as the activities you enjoyed? Mike and Lisa
With it being a buyers marked currently we probably would have just taken our class A. After seeing all the larger rigs up there. Would be worried about the resale value. We feel very blessed we sold our class C as fast as we did and didn't loose any money. The size worked out fine for this trip but not to fulltime in. Yes, we have a list of all of those places. We used iOverlander and would highly suggest it when looking for places to boondock.
When I travel I assume I might not ever get back to the places I visit soon, if ever. So I would do everything at the places while I'm there and not worry about the cost.
OK now we know why Katrina made Chris cut the trip short 2 months!😀 Chris when are you going to start using Lyn's budgeting program? LOL BTW, where does the 3 hour beauty shop visit fit in?😁
You know very well Chris does NOT adhere to a budget. 🤣 He needs a zoom call with Lyn! Either I have a 3 hour beauty appointment or the hair gets cut short. Let's just say Chris will never have an issue with any of my beauty appointments.😁
Fun costs money!😅, & you guys had lots of fun 😀 If next year you only did LTVA QUARTZSITE, & Thousand trails,..you'd be rich?!?😊 You still happy about T.Trails membership? We're thinking about buying a used membership 🤔-Jen, MN
We will be in Quartzsite this year as well as The United Rally in Tucson, AZ. Would love to see you there if you can make it.😊 No thousand trails for us this winter as we only have a 60 day booking window for the kind of resorts in AZ. Will be opting for something new to try. That being said we still enjoy our TT membership but you never know we may end up selling it. Buying used in our opinion is the way to go.
I have to say as a bucket list trip that was very CHEAP! With all my monthly bills "no house note" I spend about the same thing and I don't think I live very big
My question is what do you do about health care? I am 100% service connected so I have the VA the problem is a V A might not be close by I can get care at the hospital of choice but I need to get it approved appreciated
Fortunately Chris carries our health care through his union. We pay a small percentage more if not in the MD, DC, DE, VA area but it's good health insurance.
19G= $26,200 cad. 😱 That's eye opening for sure! I can't judge, never did your trip, n it's all about what's acceptable financially for yourselves. But lol, now I see y Chris turns a blind eye on the expenses 🫣, it's frightening lol. Haven't hit the border yet so i really don't know, but, it's more expensive in canada for food even with your higher dollar value? 🤔 🍻
The rig is like your housing, so figure out how much it would’ve cost for hotels over that time frame. I think 19k was reasonable, I mean 40k a year for living expenses? I think you’re right in there.
Nice to hear most people including yourselves think our expenses weren't that bad. Yes, doing excursions is a must while in Alaska. Thanks for watching guys!
RV'n has never been cheap or easy... I still for the life of me can't figure out why folks think it is... Everything about Camping is hard .... enjoyable but work. And everything you need to make it enjoyable is expensive!! 19,000$ is right inline for 6 months trip...
Your cost was higher than $19,000 because you purchased an RV just for this trip but your cost would be similar for others who already have the RV they would travel with.

Great information about the trip of a lifetime. Did tucker have a good time.
Very kind. Thank you!
He sure did!
That’s less than $3,200 a month and many people are paying that in rent. You had an experience of a life time. I am happy for you.
Thank you!😊
We really appreciate this honest breakdown of expenses! Glad you had a great time, and even if it was something you would never do again, you can say you've done it!! - Michelle
So true. Different strokes for different folks. Not to say it wasn’t fantastic just one and done for us. There are so many place we haven’t explored yet and many we would love to experience again. Thanks for watching guys!😊
About $100 per day! Not bad at all! A reasonable price to pay for a lifetime of pleasant, unforgettable memories. Thanks for sharing, Chris and Katrina. Hi Tucker!🙏🏾💙🤍❤️
Our pleasure! Right back at ya!👋❤
It’s like a Mastercard commercial.
Lodging: $3600
Gas: $4600
6 month trip of a
lifetime: Priceless!
Thanks for taking us along.
Exactly!! Thanks for coming along!
I’m thinking that is a lot more adventurous than a cruise which run 7,000 per person after all we only live once so enjoy the journey!
It was a great trip no doubt but maybe just a little too long for us.
A trip of a lifetime, and that's ALL it cost? You did even better than you think. The exchange rate in Canada is in our favor. As long as you put those expenses on your credit card, you see the exchange deducted. SO, basically, you saved money😂 Miss you guys!!

As long as you can afford it we totally suggest going there at least once. Good luck with your boondocking upgrades.
You really saved with all the boondocking. Seeing other channels with big rigs the boondocking was not available and even dry campgrounds where high. Good call on small rig for the trip.
We're really happy with decision we made to take the class C. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.😊
No judgement here! Thanks for sharing such great information and insight!
Thanks for watching!

Diseal has always been cheaper on west coast when gas
is high. Thanks for the break down, it will help us with
future planning.
We had no idea of the diesel prices being so different. Something to keep in mind for future trips.
Your trip seemed to be one in a lifetime type of trip! Thanks for sharing the whole trip with all of us. You both and Tucker were enjoyable to watch! Thanks!

I don’t see any thing wrong with those numbers, and you made memories. Priceless 🎉
I think we did pretty good. Thank you!
For that amount of miles and time that is really good cost wise especially for a trip of a lifetime like that!
Thanks guys! Hope your having an amazing fall!
This was very interesting. We hope to go to Alaska in ‘25 or ‘26. Our daughter and her family lives in Fairbanks. Ideally we would travel with them into the rest of the state.

Totally agree the memories we made were priceless. Probably won't go back but never say never. Still so many places to explore in the lower 48.

Great breakdown video.
Were Chuck and Val your friends or one of those RV host things.
We met them for the first time on this trip through the couple we were traveling with. They are now good friends of ours.
We took a cruise and 3 day land tour in Alaska. It cost us $15000.00 we had 7 nights on a cruise this counts air fare and everything. We said it was well worth it. Best trip ever! Next time will fly up rent a car.
That sounds like a wonderful trip! Love to hear how you compare the two trips after you get back next time. Safe travels.

I think you both did a once in a lifetime trip for a very reasonable cost. GREAT JOB 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Not bad cost converted to Can$$ would be $26,000 still not bad for six months and great memories are priceless 😂 👍😎
You got that right! Thanks for watching.😊
Thanks for sharing your experience with us all. Now that you did it in a RV if you ever go back would you RV or do a cruise 🚢? Thanks From Wisconsin
Not sure but would lean more towards a cruise.
We spend that a month easily. You did good.
Thank you for saying that. 😊
Good job, just off my credit card , fuel, eats, camp spots lot of KOA/s, budget $200 a day, we did 16,000 miles in 4 months $ 24,000 Like my brother says if you can afford it don’t do it, Have Fun
Your brother is a smart man. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment.
Watched your whole trip
Thank you we very much appreciate it.😊
Thats not bad!!!! Plus you would have been eating wherever you were!!! $19,000 for a SIX MONTH trip is great!!!! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!
Thanks for the breakdown. We are researching a similar trip for 2026 and have a few questions you may be able to answer:
We are thinking to leave our 35 foot fifth wheel in storage in favor of a class C rig. Would you buy the class C if you were to do the trip again?
Was the 24 foot rig large enough for the three of you for a trip of that duration?
Do you have a list of all of the campgrounds and boondocking locations you used as well as the activities you enjoyed?
Mike and Lisa
With it being a buyers marked currently we probably would have just taken our class A. After seeing all the larger rigs up there. Would be worried about the resale value. We feel very blessed we sold our class C as fast as we did and didn't loose any money. The size worked out fine for this trip but not to fulltime in. Yes, we have a list of all of those places. We used iOverlander and would highly suggest it when looking for places to boondock.
Where can we get the list of stops and activities?
When I travel I assume I might not ever get back to the places I visit soon, if ever. So I would do everything at the places while I'm there and not worry about the cost.
Awesome! Like the way you think!
Awesome breakdown!! Alcohol???🤪
Alcohol is definitely a must!😁
OK now we know why Katrina made Chris cut the trip short 2 months!😀 Chris when are you going to start using Lyn's budgeting program? LOL
BTW, where does the 3 hour beauty shop visit fit in?😁
You know very well Chris does NOT adhere to a budget. 🤣 He needs a zoom call with Lyn! Either I have a 3 hour beauty appointment or the hair gets cut short. Let's just say Chris will never have an issue with any of my beauty appointments.😁
Fun costs money!😅, & you guys had lots of fun 😀
If next year you only did LTVA QUARTZSITE, & Thousand trails,..you'd be rich?!?😊
You still happy about T.Trails membership? We're thinking about buying a used membership 🤔-Jen, MN
We will be in Quartzsite this year as well as The United Rally in Tucson, AZ. Would love to see you there if you can make it.😊
No thousand trails for us this winter as we only have a 60 day booking window for the kind of resorts in AZ. Will be opting for something new to try. That being said we still enjoy our TT membership but you never know we may end up selling it. Buying used in our opinion is the way to go.
I have to say as a bucket list trip that was very CHEAP! With all my monthly bills "no house note" I spend about the same thing and I don't think I live very big
We have talked to others that said the same thing. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.😊
My question is what do you do about health care? I am 100% service connected so I have the VA the problem is a V A might not be close by
I can get care at the hospital of choice but I need to get it approved appreciated
Fortunately Chris carries our health care through his union. We pay a small percentage more if not in the MD, DC, DE, VA area but it's good health insurance.
Not bad for a 6 month trip!
Thank you!
19G= $26,200 cad. 😱
That's eye opening for sure! I can't judge, never did your trip, n it's all about what's acceptable financially for yourselves. But lol, now I see y Chris turns a blind eye on the expenses 🫣, it's frightening lol.
Haven't hit the border yet so i really don't know, but, it's more expensive in canada for food even with your higher dollar value? 🤔 🍻
The budget seems to be getting bigger and bigger! Oh well, you can’t take it with you. Priceless memories!😊
The rig is like your housing, so figure out how much it would’ve cost for hotels over that time frame. I think 19k was reasonable, I mean 40k a year for living expenses? I think you’re right in there.
Good point! Thank you.
I don’t think that sounds bad at all for 6 months and 14k miles. And you can’t go to Alaska with doing some excursions!
Nice to hear most people including yourselves think our expenses weren't that bad. Yes, doing excursions is a must while in Alaska. Thanks for watching guys!
RV'n has never been cheap or easy... I still for the life of me can't figure out why folks think it is... Everything about Camping is hard .... enjoyable but work. And everything you need to make it enjoyable is expensive!! 19,000$ is right inline for 6 months trip...
Very true about camping now. Thanks for your positive response. 😊
Your expenses seem a lot less than I expected, not cheap but doable
When you consider all the boondocking we did it was affordable for us.
Cost was good at $1.36 per mile
Thank you.
This is not the cost but only what you decided to spend. Oters will spend less or more.
It was our cost. Yes, everyone's cost will be determined by what they choose to spend.
How long were you gone? I just wonder how it compared to doing the same thing within the US, over the same timeframe? That’s your real difference. .
Obviously fuel and groceries etc would have been a higher cost.
We were going for 6 months. It would have been less as we wouldn't have done those expensive excursions here in the lower 48.
Your cost was higher than $19,000 because you purchased an RV just for this trip but your cost would be similar for others who already have the RV they would travel with.
Did your wife punch you in the eyes.
Not in this video!🤣🤣
