That's our plan as future full timers. We will only go around 500 miles a month, stop and see the area.
So not traveling every day in the MH will reduce our costs substantially. It's still not cheap. Touring will be with a Corolla which gets good MPG.
We are planning on $4-5 per gallon fuel this summer if the house sells.

It's the rest of the fast ever increasing costs that worry us right now.
It seems everything has gone up so much in the last year or two and retirement COLAs are not keeping up at all.
We are still doing better than many out there today.
Our propane to heat water and the house was $1.65 a gallon 5 years ago. Today it's over $3 per gallon plus tax delivered.
