Our 2004 Dodge Roadtrek 190

2004 Dodge Roadtrek 190

This is our 2004 Dodge motorhome. We bought it in August of 2017. It had 12,000 miles on it. We made some improvements on it - new tires - new batteries - new brakes - new shock absorbers - new inverter - new television - new serpentine belt.

It weighs about 8000 pounds - and is 19 feet long.

It is now March of 2019 - we have had it for 18 months. We have put 11,000
miles on it - the odometer says 23,000 miles. We have taken it on trips to Georgia - Alabama - South Carolina - North Carolina - Virginia - Washington DC - Maryland - Delaware and Pennsylvania. In Florida we have taken it to Jacksonville - St Augustine - Daytona - Orlando - Gainesville - Tampa - St Petersburg - Sarasota - Fort Myers - Lakeland - Sanibel Island and Ocala.

We paid $32,000 for it.

We have spent 23 nights in it.

We have gone 11,000 miles.

Do the math.

It has cost $1391 a night.

It has cost $2.90 a mile.

Those figures assume it has no residual value.

The figures do not include cost of depreciation - maintenance - fuel - insurance - sales tax - or license fees.

Most people that have campers brag about their MPG - miles per gallon. Gasoline does not even make it into the top three for costs of having a camper.
