I’m funded only by the citizens. I am not on any organization’s payroll. I live frugally on what’s left of my savings and whatever donations people can make. I do this to ensure that I am beholden ONLY to my fellow citizens. Any help is GREATLY appreciated so I can make it the rest of the way. I will never stop fighting so long as I have food and shelter.

Here are just some of my expenses on top everything while doing this:

• $1500/mo. in diesel. $1 only gets me about 2 miles down the road. My journey is going to be about 12,000-14,000 miles in total depending on how many more states I hit.
  
• $60/mo. fills my propane tanks for heat/hot water.
• $20/day gets me 1-2 meals a day if I eat very conservatively.
• $75/mo. fills my generator gas tank.
• $2000/mo. on repairs for the trailer. This Keystone Fuzion trailer made in 2015 is falling apart left and right. I spend about 20-40 hours a month repairing things on it myself while on the road. The worst of the failures I’ve had so far was in NM when the subframe broke free from the frame, causing about $10-12k in damage. I was able to get things welded back up enough to at least be able to drive it safely, But the show must go on, so I’m going to limp this thing through. I called Keystone regarding their faulty design/construction (as evidenced by many more than just me having this issue come up) and they effectively told me to pound sand. I will NEVER buy a Keystone trailer again, even new! I’m trying to save up for this big full repair that I’m going to have to take care of at some point soon.
• $200/mo. for internet to keep online for research, podcasts, and to upload my presentation videos.
• $250/mo. for insurance.
• $400-1000/mo. for RV parks. I try to stay any places that are free if I can find one, and I have to stay in parks at least every 1-2 weeks to drain tanks and replenish water.
• A nice surprise last week, my fuel pump is now making a grinding noise, so I just had to spend another $1000 on Oct 4th for a new pump and filters. The dealer could not get me in in time, so I’ll likely be doing the labor myself on the road somewhere. I’m praying that it doesn’t fail beforehand.
  
• Then I have truck maintenance, tires/brakes for truck and trailer, etc. Tires for the truck are going to cost me about $1500 soon. And I am in the process of putting new brakes on the trailer right now doing the work myself to keep costs low, but will still cost me $1000-2200 depending on how may drums I have to replace. If the rain would stop, I could replace the remaining 4.
