The Budget

Getting started on THE PLAN necessitates a budget.  What can I say - I'm a bit of a planner for conscious life changes of the major sort.

This is my working budget so far:

 monthly  weekly 
RENT - Parkview RV (reg $330; 10 % Good Sam club membership) $297.00  $74.25
cable / wi-fi - included in rent $ -   $ -  
electric (could be less if take hot showers @ bath house) $40.00  $10.00
food $200.00  $50.00
gas for truck (depending on work location/schedule) $100.00  $25.00
dogs - food, heartworm, flea trtmt $50.00  $12.50
toiletries - TP, shampoo, toothpaste, tampons $40.00  $10.00
laundry (wash/dry two loads/wk) $40.00  $10.00
insurance - truck $100.00  $25.00

Rx / COBRA?
????
 $       867.00  $   216.75



Travel Trailer insurance was left out because I can and most likely will pay all of that up front.  I am wanting to see how close I can stick to this type of budget now, but with so many factors being different - work schedule influencing eating schedule, no way to gauge electric, etc..... - a lot of this is just an estimated guess.  The numbers will get updated as I get more precise info and can do some on hand research.  And of course laundry will probably be alleviated if I have my own wash bucket and clothes line =)

What am I leaving out?  Suggestions?
