We’re two people, will mostly be camping/tenting and going to an occasional hotel every now and then. Focus will be on nature/national parks, but also cities, towns, and cabins every so often. Will mostly be cooking our food but go to restaurants every now and then.
Cost includes everything except car payment. Hoping to do $40-50 a day for two people!
Do you think this is doable?
If you had a camper or something and were going to be staying at truck stops and walmarts, then you would be fine.
But if you want to pitch tents at camp sites, it’s a lot harder.
And gas really adds up.
If I were you, I’d build a DIY camper you could pull behind your car. Or try to get a truck you can outfit for sleeping and prep to do the trip in a year or two. But you’re probably going to need a bit more of a budget for it. Especially if you haven’t factored in your vehicle yet to costs…
