Now for the cost of using
the trailer. It was a light
weight low cost trailer which
will no doubt depreciate
about $200.00 this year. As
close as can be figured the
family will be using the
trailer not less than 26 nights
this camping season which
means that the trailer will
cost $7.69 for each night use.
With the difference in the
gasoline mileage between
just driving the car and the
gasoline needed for the car
and trailer amounted to 31.7
additional gallons at an
average cost of 54.8 cents per
gallon.
The additional road cost
for pulling the trailer was
$l7 37
The daily camping and
travel costs broke down as
follows.
Camp site $4.31
Trailer use cost $7 69

Total costs
If the trip would have been
made without the trailer the
daily cost for fuel would have
been $4.39.
This means that the actual
cost for camping with the
travel trailer and site fees
would adjust to a daily cost
of $16.59 for two adults and
three children.
$6.56
$18.76
This is quite a difference
from the approx. $58.00 a day
for a family of two traveling
300 miles a day without an
RV, shown in a recent
touring study.
