Notes
1. Camping means a partial hookup (electricity and water) for 2 adults, typically over US$ 25 per night. A 'full hookup' includes sewage outlet and cable TV and costs a few dollars more. A few times we took a motel room at around US$60.
2. Post and Email includes telephone cards for public phones.
3. Sundries include laundry, postcards, entry fees to museums, National and State Parks, Golden Gate Bridge toll, etc.
4. Petrol is slightly cheaper than diesel (which few people use).
5. Food was usually bought from Safeway, Walmart or similar supermarkets and cooked in the motorhome.
6. Eating Out includes coffees and occasional fast food.
7. Fuel Consumption of 12.96 miles per US gallon can also be expressed as 15.56 miles per Imperial gallon or 18.25 litres per 100 km.
