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. 🙂
Great information about the trip of a lifetime. Did tucker have a good time.
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!!
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.
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!
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!🙏🏾💙🤍❤️
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
It was a trip of a lifetime and you enjoyed it...Good for you! What memories!
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.
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.
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!!
No judgement here! Thanks for sharing such great information and insight!
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’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!
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
Diseal has always been cheaper on west coast when gas
is high. Thanks for the break down, it will help us with
future planning.
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! 😀
Very good information. Thank you for sharing. That breakdown of costs is very useful information.
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.
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 ?
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!
I don’t see any thing wrong with those numbers, and you made memories. Priceless 🎉
I think we did pretty good. Thank you!
Great breakdown video.
Were Chuck and Val your friends or one of those RV host things.
For that amount of miles and time that is really good cost wise especially for a trip of a lifetime like that!
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.
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!
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.
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 think you both did a once in a lifetime trip for a very reasonable cost. GREAT JOB 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊
Not bad cost converted to Can$$ would be $26,000 still not bad for six months and great memories are priceless 😂 👍😎
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.
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
Thats not bad!!!! Plus you would have been eating wherever you were!!! $19,000 for a SIX MONTH trip is great!!!! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
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
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
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
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?😁
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!
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!
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
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.
Not bad for a 6 month trip!
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 expenses seem a lot less than I expected, not cheap but doable
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!😊
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
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.
This is not the cost but only what you decided to spend. Oters will spend less or more.
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.
You need to eat real food. 😀
It's only money. You can't take it with you. Have fun while you can. I probably spend $100 per day just doing a weekend trip.
That’s the best way to look at it!! Thanks for watching!
Good video! I feel it was a reasonable price for priceless memories!! -Jody @rboundlessventures
