Since we are older and retired, our "vacationing" is probably a little different than most of you. We don't call it vacation anymore...just trips or traveling. :-) My dh can't take the cold rainy weather up here in the NW, so we go south in our 5th wheel. We belong to some RV organizations but they were paid for a long time ago, so we feel like we are parking for free now....we may have to pay $1 a night for electric but not always. About the highest we ever pay once we down south is $8 a night occasionaly. On the way down we may pay as high as $18-20 but that's only for a night or two going down and coming back up. We also stay at military fam camps now and then and they are usually about $12-13 a night. We basically live on the road just like we do at home...cooking most of our own meals. If we are in a new area we check out a few sights and so may spend a little on entertanment but mostly we do the cheap or free stuff. When we are not rving, we use our timeshare condos (again, purchased a long time ago) and we try to use frequent flyer miles if flying or we drive. In the condos we save money by cooking most meals. If we eat out it is usually lunch and maybe one nice dinner.
