↓ Episode 95 – Got a Leaking Water Faucet?

In Episode 95 Eric is making up for lost time after being sick and not being able to work on his podcasts. He is glad to be back doing what he loves, helping others solve RV-related problems. Rather than cover the RV life Style segment in a traditional sense he dives into raising fuel prices and RVers can crunch the numbers to estimate a "real" estimate of what the actual fuel cost will be for a great trip in the RV. After all, the memories need to be made, the family loves a great getaway. As always Eric uses his experience from talking with RVers about how much future trips could cost in regards to fuel. It is an eye-opener because quite often the cost is exaggerated because real numbers aren't being used. Depending on where you are going and what your mileage is the cost might be a lot more affordable than previously thought. In many scenarios, it may only require cutting back on some other expenses to offset the higher fuel cost. Camping closer to home might be an option as well. Check Out Our Handy Fuel Calculator!
