I'm soooo excited !!!

Hello ,
This is my life long dream , Bought my first Class A , A 2000 Country Coach Allure 36 ' , now to sell the house and store some things for , who knows how long .
I have Been a firefighter for 30 yrs and retiring in June and hope to see most of our beautiful country .
I have been figuring a few things out for expenses , cell , sat , health ins , obvious i.e. food fuel plan on taking our time visit a lot of friends and stay as cheaply as possible maybe even working for the site when I can . What other expenses should I count on ?? . Did I say how excited WE are !!! any thought would be appreciated Thanks Craigger & Donna

Routine maintenance can get a tad expensive so I would budget for that. Don't forget insurance and would suggest a road side assistance plan. You will want folding chairs, a grill, a mat for the outside, and a good sense of humor. Oh, and don't forget the wine.
