At least $25/day, /person for food, assuming you’ll be cooking most meals in your RV. ($6000)
7,500 miles estimated @ 15 mpg estimated = 500 gallons of motor fuel @ $3/gallon = $1500
RV rental estimated $2000 for 30 days
Tolls, estimated $500 round trip
RV draining, campground fees, 15 days @ $30 = $450
Vegas (how much can you afford to lose?)
Incidentals (souvenirs, flat tires, etc.) $200 per person ($1600)
TOTAL about $12,000 plus Vegas wagering.

I would guess somewhere in the range of $2000-3000 per person. The gas is going to be huge!! Those things only get about 4 mpg. We rented one last Spring and I couldn’t believe it. Fortunately the price of gas has come down lately – hopefully it will stay down for your trip. Eight in an RV is tight quarters!! I hope you all get along because you will be all over each other for a month! Also, you might not want to tell the RV rental place you have 8 people. I think they have a limit of 7. At least the company we rented from did.
Have fun!!
The first answer is way off as far as the gas goes. No way a RV that can hold 8 people gets 15mpg!! Try 5 and that’s going downhill. I know I did it! Also, I think the RV will run you closer to $5000- 6000 for a month, especially when you add on mileage because they only allow you 100 miles per day. All miles over that are $.32 per mile

Save your money & take a trip and never leave the farm ,like my friend did? Here is their story:
The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm
And we never knowed what it was called
Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed
I didn’t gave it much thought…
One day I was out there talking to my brother
Reached down for a weed to chew on
Things got fuzzy and things got blurry
And then everything was gone
I Didn’t know what happened
But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin’ burlap
I come to and my brother was there
And he said, ‘What’s wrong with your eyes?’
I said, ‘I don’t know, I was chewing on a weed’
He said, ‘Let me give it a try’
We spent the rest of that day and most of that night
Trying to find my brother, Bill
Caught up with him ’bout six o’clock the next mornin’
Naked, swinging on the windmill
He said he flew up there
I had to fly up and get him down
He was about half crazy
The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds
And put ‘em in the sun to dry
Then we mashed ‘em up and we cleaned ‘em all
And put ‘em in the corncob pipe
Smokin’ them wildwood flowers got to be a habit
We didn’t see no harm
We thought it was kind of handy
Take a trip and never leave the farm
A big ol’ puff on the wildwood weed
Next thing you know
We’s just wandering behind the little animals
All good things gotta come to an end
And it’s the same with the wildwood weed
One day this feller from Washington come by
And he spied us and he turned white as a sheet
And he dug and he burned
And he burned and he dug
And he killed all our cute little weeds
Then he drove away
We just smiled and waved
Sittin’ there on that sack of seeds
Y’all come back now, ya hear
