On a rainy Saturday 8 December camping at the Golden Nugget Casino car park in Biloxi,Mississippi I have passed the time reviewing our road trip since collecting the Hymer motorhome from Baltimore on 24 July.Our touring is slowing down now as we are booked on three campsites in Florida for xmas and new year leaving twelve days to make our way north back to Baltimore docks.It may be of some interest to others.Go pass the rest of the time on the one arm bandits !


To date we have covered 14,412 miles (about 2,400 left to do) average = 96 miles per day


We will have visited 35 States over 175 days


Deisel has cost so far $2703 average $100 per 500 miles or $10 per 50 miles

26 nights campsites so far $755 (the rest boondocking ,wild camping) average $30 per night

Propane refill so far $291

So something like 35 countries, 5 days per country. That's more American than the "It's Sunday, this must be France" standard American tourist. You are now the FUN authority on American tarmac.

WOW that's a biggie , who did you insure with for such a long trip ?

Now!! that's what you call a road trip, memories to treasure. Enjoy the last leg..

It's called a ROAD trip and we have enjoyed it immensely and visited all the sights we wanted.Sorry you think so poorly of our journey.

Well done What an amazing trip

What I think is of no importance, I don't mean to offend you, I'm just gob smacked at the miles, more than some would do in years. We think 8000 in a year is going some. To put it into perspective that is ten times the distance from Calais to Moscow, which in itself would be a massive trip for most.

@Jim needs to forge some form of medal for you or at least present you with his top of the range FUN mug.

What a fantastic trip, well done and it’s not over yet. I would love to do that kind of trip but my bank balance says dream on. I hope one day to meet you and talk about your trip. Happy travels.

Wow!! Thought my 3 weeks (6 states IL, WI, MN, MT, SD and WY) on the Harley (Sturgis motorcycle rally) was going some, I bet you’ve got some memories there eh?? Very envious

What a road trip well done.The standard run around Europe does look a bit tame now let’s see what happens next year we may all be hopping across the pond for our extended trips.thanks for the inspiration.
