$3.53 per gallon?? Wow!? Haven't seen that here in months.? I paid $3.98 last week and couldn't fill the tank before they shut of my credit card ($75.00 limit)? My tank was at over a quarter tank when I filled it.? Yikes!? Showing for me this year will mean taking?one or two?dogs in the truck to local shows and only using the RV for the Nationals or a REALLY important (read large entry) show.??I will have to?do some serious planning on which shows I can have a vendor booth and show dogs and make everything at least break even.? Some shows are better than others for both and I will really have to decide which shows to stop doing.? For folks who go to AB shows and stay in their RV's, the cost of electricity hook-ups has gone up as well as the parking fees.? In CA, we sure need that hook-up for AC to protect our dogs from the heat.? Another thing in which we have no control.?? I got my RV to save the cost of hotels.? I thought it would be more cost efficient.? It was, in the beginning.? Now, it costs more per night than a hotel.? The only difference is that I don't have to lug crates and dogs in/out of a room on the 3rd floor.??? It's all a trade-off.??As much as I want to support as many clubs as I can with entries, I?know I will have to let some entries go to be able to afford others.? I am sure waiting for that winning Lottery ticket, LOL!
