5 Tips to Save on RV Travel

We’ve been full-time RV travelers for 5 years now and have found numerous way to save money along the way. In this article we’ll share our top five tips for saving money on RV travel including ways to reduce both campground and fuel costs.

Tip #1: Saving on Overnight Campground Stays

When we first started our RV journey we had a 44′ Fifth Wheel with a residential refrigerator and a tiny inverter that couldn’t keep it powered overnight. As a result, we always stayed in full hook-up campgrounds, even for overnight stays.

We used a program called Passport America to save a lot of money on these stays. It only costs $44 a year and gives you 50% off the regular nightly rate. Just use it for 2 nights, and you’ll get your money’s worth. It is important to know that there can be restrictions because each park is individually owned and makes their own rules about participation. This information is provided for you in the Important Campground Notes section of each park’s listing on the Passport America website, mobile apps, printed camping directory, and e-directories.

Another way we save on overnight stays is by choosing Corps of Engineer Campgrounds. These parks are federally managed and available for all of the public to use. Situated on lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, they are found in some of the most beautiful settings and are reasonably priced. If you have the senior or access (disability) National Parks Pass, you get 50% off the already low rates. Here’s one of our favorites:

Tip #2: Saving on Extended Campground Stays

As full-time travelers who are working full-time, we prefer staying a month in most locations to allow ourselves time to really get to enjoy an area. As a result, we get massive discounts! We stayed at a fabulous RV resort in Arizona winter that has 2 pools, 2 hot tubs, a bar & restaurant, mini-golf, and more! The least expensive sites (back ins at the back of the campground) were regularly $65 a night. BUT stay a month and it was only $690 for the month. Divide that by 30 days and it is only $23 a night!!!

Many (not all) places with a monthly rate meter electricity. Since we have solar, we don’t need to use much so our electricity bill for the month we stayed at that resort was only $29. I asked the cashier the typical rate and she said about $150 for a large, all-electric rig. Still, if you add that to the $690 and divide by 30, it is still only $28 a night and a great deal!

Tip #3: Saving on all your Stays

Another terrific way to save money on overnight and even longer stays in by boondocking or dry camping. After we upgraded our power system and installed solar, we started doing more off grid camping and loved it!

Of course, you can stay overnight at retail places like Walmart or Cabelas, but we really like Casinos if we’re going to stay in a parking lot. We go in and get a player’s card that usually gives us $10 of free play on the slots and sometimes even win money back! You often get 50% off buffets too!

The spots we love best for overnight stays are Harvest Hosts, a membership program of farms, wineries, breweries, and even some museums that let you dry camp on their land. Click here for 15% off via my affiliate link (that means I’ll get a small commission if you buy a membership through it). In the interest of full disclosure, I will admit that this is not really a money-saving technique because you have to buy a membership and then you’ll obviously want to spend money at the business, but we still love it. To us, there is no better way to see this country than to meet the people who make it unique and Harvest Hosts allows you to meet small business owners all around the US.

Boondocker’s Welcome is another great program where private land owners allow you to stay overnight at their location for FREE. Of course, there is an annual fee, but it is only $79/year for unlimited stays.

Boondocker's Welcome allows you to stay overnight for free on private member's property.

For longer dry camping stays (more than 1 night) we prefer FREE camping on public lands.

Click here to read my article on Trip Planning where I share the apps and websites I use to find great campgrounds and boondocking spots. I even have a video tutorial to show you how easy it is.

Tip #4: Saving on Fuel

Our first tip for saving on fuel is to slow down! Believe it or not, this actually can lead to significant savings. A study of diesel trucks was undertaken that showed that slowing down 10 miles per hour on the interstate can save 27% fuel efficiency! We never drive over 65 MPH and get 12 MPG towing our fifth wheel with a Chevy 3500 HD dually truck. We also ensure our tires are properly inflated and we keep up with all preventive maintenance.

Another way to stay on fuel is to travel slowly or close to home if you have the option. Explore the hidden gems within an hour or two of your current location instead of trying to race across country and back in two short weeks.

Tip #5: More Fuel Savings with Apps

We use two different apps: one to save money and one that pays us back with a rebate. When we’re really lucky we can use them both at the same campground.

The savings app is called Gas Buddy and we use to find the range of gas prices near our current location when we’re at a campground. When we were in Tucson, we found a range of $0.30 per gallon in a five mile radius! We also use it to find the prices of propane.

The rebate app is called Get Upside and we use it to search our location to see if there are participating gas stations. If so, you scan the receipt and upload it to the app. Once you reach $20 they send you a rebate!

Bonus Tip: Mindful Spending

We have found that setting financial goals and tracking our spending is hands down the best way to save money. Otherwise, it is way too easy for all the small things you buy to add up.

We created a program called Full-Time RV Finance to help others financially achieve their full-time travel dreams. Over the course of 25 videos, we’ll help you chart your course towards financial freedom, create a realistic full-time RV budget, and learn how to make money & save money on the road.

Save Money Using the Public Library (On More Than Just Books)

Full Time Travelers Can Save Quite a Bit of Money at the Public Library (not just on books).

The public library is a wonderful place for RVers living on a budget. We saved $1,500 last year using our library membership for the services below!

Ebooks and Audiobooks

We are avid readers and yearn to learn new things. As a reader, there is no better organization to be a member of than the public library. Sean read 29 (non-fiction) books this year and Julie read 48 (mostly fiction), all FREE from the library. Also, we were able to read them all on our iPads using the Kindle and Overdrive apps or listen to them using the Audible app. This saved us about approximately $650 in ebooks and $350 from canceling our monthly Audible subscriptions. The beauty of ebooks and audiobooks are they do not take up any space in the RV. You download them to the device of your choice and remove them when finished. We especially enjoy listening to audiobooks as we drive between campgrounds or when exercising.

Magazines & Newspapers

Books are not the only items that are available at most public libraries. In our public library, electronic access to newspapers and magazines is also available. We used to have subscriptions through the Apple App Store, but have been able to cancel those thanks to the availability at the library. Magazines are available on most popular subjects. Sean enjoys reading business and finance magazines and the library has electronic versions of the popular magazines in this genre including Inc., Forbes, and Entrepreneur.

Educational Resources

Besides the books, the best feature we have found at the public library is the availability of sites such as Lynda.com that provide quality education on many tech topics from learning a program language to photography. Julie has learned many items related to our website, video editing, and social media for free using this benefit of being a public library member. She saved $35 a month ($420 annually) on a subscription!

Language Learning

There are many different software companies that produce language learning software. Some require the purchase of actual CDs or DVDs, while others require a paid subscription to access the lessons over the Internet. Many public libraries offer these subscriptions to public library members. Rosetta Stone, Mango, and other popular language learning titles can be found at the library. This can save the interested learner hundreds of dollars.

What Can You Save? 

While not all public libraries offer everything listed above, some provide even more. We definitely recommend getting a  membership from the public library where your residence is. Once you have a membership, you can download the books or access the educational resources from anywhere. For an RVer, the space and weight saved in books is great. Also, the hundreds of dollars saved, depending on how much you take advantage of, will leave room in your budget for more travel! For the frugal RVer, it is a no-brainer to get a membership at your public library!

The Top 7 Ways to Save Money While Traveling Full-Time

Traveling full-time sounds like a lot of fun, but if you’re not careful it can become expensive very quickly. In this article, I’ll share the top 7 ways to save money while traveling full-time.

Learn how to pay off debt, earn an income, and save money all while traveling full-time.

Campgrounds

The largest full-time travel expense for many, including us, is lodging. Watch the video below to find ways to save on campgrounds or read on for more tips. 

There are many variables in where you choose to park your RV, and all impact the bottom line.

    • Hook ups or Not? We often enjoy full hook up campgrounds which means water, electricity, and sewer. I especially like amenities like swimming pools or shuttles to nearby cities. However, this doesn’t have to mean staying at an RV Resort, many national, state, and even municipal park campgrounds have full hook ups and are less expensive than RV resorts.
    • Length of Stay. Many commercial RV resorts and campgrounds offer discounts for weekly and monthly stays, and we like to take advantage of these not only to cut back on expenses, but to reduce travel fatigue as well. These can be significant. For example, we booked a one-month stay this winter in South Florida. The daily rate is $49, but the monthly rate was $746, which comes out to $25 per night, saving 50%. Please be aware that some places charge for metered electricity when offering a monthly rate.
    • There are many membership type discounts and you have to decide if the cost of the membership will be worth it to you. We use Passport America for our shorter stays in particular. It only $44 a year, and a 50% discount on a single 2-night stay in a place like Florida pays for it right away!

Others discount clubs include Escapees and Good Sam. In addition, some fraternal organizations like the Elks offer sites at their lodges around the country for nominal fees. Finally, if you are a veteran, always ask if there is a military discount.

  • Campground Memberships. There are also campground memberships like Thousand Trails. They have 86 campgrounds divided among 5 camping zones: Northwest, Southwest, Midwest, Northeast and Southeast. You can choose to join one or all of them. We’re not members so I can’t give you a review. I’ve heard both good and bad and there is even a Facebook group called Thousand Trails Likes/Dislikes.

Food

Our next greatest expense and opportunity for saving money while traveling is food. This includes two separate line items on our budget:

  • Eating Out: First off, we save money by not eating out very often. It also helps save a few pounds as well. To see how I use my small kitchen for our meals click here. We save our eating out allowance for the places that are unique to an area, and we try to stay away from overly touristy places. In my experience, the best local places to eat are the mom and pop hole-in-the-wall places. The food is usually better and more authentic, and costs far less. When we’re going to be spending a day out, we will usually eat a hearty breakfast before heading out, take a picnic lunch and snacks with us, and try to get back to the RV for dinner.
  • Groceries: One of the easiest ways to save money on groceries is by using coupons. You can go old school and pick up a Sunday paper in virtually any city to get coupons, or you can use websites like coupons.com that let you select and print coupons. Also, most chain groceries stores like Safeway or Publix have online coupons you can link to your shopper card and save at the register without ever having to cut any coupons. Another great way to save money, and eat healthier is to shop at Farmer’s Markets. The produce is generally fresher and less expensive than at the grocery stores.

Fuel

Another big expense and opportunity for saving money while traveling is fuel. The best way we’ve found to cut down on this expense is to slow down. Shorter distances between moves, and longer stays at each location reduce the amount of fuel we use. Also since we have a fifth wheel with a large dually as our local transportation, we use our bikes, public transportation, and RV park shuttles whenever we can.

Click here to read even more tips for saving on fuel. 

Reduce/Reuse

We also save money while traveling by living a simpler life and trying to be kinder to the environment. For example, we use our dishes instead of paper plates. Also, we have a rule on clothing that if we buy something new, something old has to go. In other words, replacement items only. This saves space and money.

Perform Your Own Preventative Maintenance

One way we’ve recently started saving money while traveling is by performing some of our own preventative maintenance on our RV. We were looking at a copy of an RV service center’s pricing list, and Sean thought he could do much of the items on his own. For example, they recommended annual Water Heater Service for $67.50. Sean read our owner’s manual, did a little research, then felt confident enough to complete the maintenance tasks on his own. He posted a video about it here. Another preventative maintenance task he recently completed that was also listed for $67.50 was annual Battery Service. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to follow Sean as he learns about more simple maintenance tasks you can do to save money.

Entertainment

Finally, we save money while traveling by enjoying as much free fun as we can. This includes hiking, biking, visiting beaches, and other nature spots. Many cities have a free days, or often evenings, to visit museums. When we have to pay an entry fee, we’ll look for discounts on Groupon when we’re visiting a new area. We also always ask about any military discount. There are also museum discount programs that are reciprocal. For example, I purchased a membership with the Southeastern Reciprocal Membership Program. The family membership is $72.75. The admission for the Ringling Museum in Sarasota for a family of four is $60 (2 adults, 2 children). If you go to just one other museum on the list, you’ve saved money! There’s also the  North American Reciprocal Museum (NARM) Association® which has 924 member institutions. At every stop in our travels, I write about how I save money. Recently we visited Washington DC and I shared some ideas for Budget Friendly Fun in our Nation’s Capital.

Stick to a Budget

This really should have been the first tip because it is the most important. Really, the only way to be sure you’re saving money is to have a budget and stick to it! It is way to easy for all the small things you buy to add up. I use a free budget app to create a budget and track my spending right from my phone. By tracking my expenses and spending, I know exactly where my money is going, and then I can apply the other techniques I talked about earlier to try to reduce a specific item. I use a method called zero-based budgeting and you can learn more about it here.
