$2600 for fuel during 6 months 8000 miles seems pretty reasonable. ($14 / day). I seem to often spend 5x / day that much in my 20mpg RV. I need to quit wandering around and learn to stay off the road.
Congrats on your safe trip and return home. Diagonally /circular across USA lower 48 is a long and interesting trip. Glad you could cover that distance during Covid.

When mom died my stepdad sold everything for a motorhome (first a C, now an A) and tows something 4 down behind. for the first few years while he was more mobile (you tend to slow at 81) he would work out a deal to host at the campgrounds or work the store and reduced his lot rent to almost nil.
He lives in the SW and his formula is simple: summer: above 6500ft, winter, below (generally needles ca)
