How many nights / miles / gallons?

[Auld Pharrrt]

Does anyone record their expenses on a spreadsheet?
I would like to do this and was wondering if anyone could recommend one please?

I keep a note of my fuel, and when I remember, my spares etc. But I just use a bog standard spreadsheet with a couple of formulae to do yhe counting.

There's an excellent app called Fuelio for recording all fuel and vehicle expenses ...

Yep

Just use the one you have or are familiar with

Also loads of apps for phone/android
But I prefer a SS with column headings such as Diesel Gas Food Camps Touristy Other MH items (not diesel or Gas) Tolls/Ferries/vignettes
Keep a separate SS for diesel
Litres Gallons cost mileage done mpg/
Whatever suits you !

One thing, if you use an app, most are written/set using U.S. gallons ... remember to set the options/settings to UK gallons.

I have a workbook which on one page is purely for fuel ... a second worksheet for parts/part numbers/date & mileage fitted/repairs ... but I often forget to fill it in etc. The part numbers are useful when re-ordering stuff like filters etc.

Yep SS wins

SS wins for me more flexible
Sheets such as
fuel all years diesel so mpg and gas so GPD (gasperpay)
2017 UK 2017 Ireland
daily records odometer reading (hence daily miles)camp camp rating then spending all ( camp cost , tourist toll/ferry/vignette other MH (MOTetc) misc
2016 as above but Eurozone Denmark Norway Finland Sweden Just useul to compare costs and note that Scandinavia not too expensive so maybe revisit !
simple formulae etc
Keep a paper diary to note during the day
Use diary for possible overnight GPS from Maps me Camper contact and of course WC
I also haave a simple nested notepad application for other items

I read every post in this threads and have come to the conclusion some of you are nuts, I have a budget of £350 per calendar month for my diesel addiction with a £50 buffer I average 12000/13000 mp year this money is for Diesel food camping fees and gas once it’s gone it’s gone and I enjoy spending every penny. mpg who gives a rats ass it’s still better value than a packet of fags ( X nicotine addict ).

Everyone who suscribes to WC is nuts

Hi, because we ran two businesses we used, and still use, quicken financial package to keep our finances in check.

However for a more simple household management budget then free ready made Excell spread sheets are more than sufficient.

Look over these.

We first bought a motorhome in an October a few years back. I keep a kind of log of where we go and like to tot it up every year.
Anyone else sad and keep stats like these?

Yep I'm sad as well. I only keep stats on where we go and how long for. I'd be a lot sadder if I kept details of my diesel.
I started keeping detail in Feb 2011 when we moved from caravans (almost 40 years) to a Motorhome. I retired in April 2011.

Before you ask, 2014 & 2015 were busy years with other things taking up a lot of time.
