Having the dinette re-upholstered, buying 2 new recliners and the Jack
Digital Antenna made the RV Maintenance appear excessive in January. The
Jeep Maintenance costs were having the exhaust work done and buying a high
quality tune-up kit.

Do you budget a certain amount monthly to cover maintenance costs for the
RV and Jeep? It is something I've been considering while planning RV life.
I may not spend the money more than once a year, but it would be set aside
so it is available when needed.

No, we just put everything left over each month into savings (where we
already have a small emergency fund). If you look over previous months, you
will find some with negative amounts in the "To Savings" row. This is when
we had to draw a little out to cover expenses.

We always comment in the blog about any expenses that are out of the
ordinary if you want to know why any given figure is excessive.
