I'm with HW, on this one, IF I asked anyone to come away with me for a while, I would expect all Fuel, Food, Park fees, and any other day to day costs to be 50/50 However if it was my vehicle and i was going to travel anyway thats my responsability, and would it not come into the equasion ??

just say the vehicle had done 200,000 klm or more, and while away it blew a motor, or transmission, what then, ??? would you want your travelling companion to pay half for a new motor or gearbox ??? I would'nt.

will be interested to see any other responses to this thread.   dazren

I would suggest you sit down with the person you are inviting and work out what you each think is fair. If there is disagreement during this process, it may be best not to proceed with going away together - as it could get worse once out on the road!

as stated earlier make sure you sort it out before you leave
the other party may think they are on a free holiday an you get the expenses because you own a motorhome your rich
sort out who payes for or what percent of fuel, food,cp fees, attraction fees if you expect them to pay their share make sure each party knows what their share is to late after you start good way to spoil a trip
if you want wear an tear you might want to charge them by the kilometer

there was a thread on here by gary and kerry march 2011 an they covered 25122 klm an their cost were $28609.48
all inclusive no more to pay

cost breakdown $1.14per klm

$78.60 per day

you can adjust to your own needs

I can understand all the logic (not to mention the economic rationale) for splitting fuel/food/fuel/fees and stuff 50/50 but I tend to look at it a little differently. I go where I want to go at the pace I want to travel - and that's not negotiable. So I figure that I'm going to be paying for the fuel anyway and probably all or most of the fees. So I really only expect a contribution for the portion of the costs that I wouldn't incur if I was on my own - then anything else that is contributed is a bonus. You'd never believe I used to be an accountant would you?

Once you have agreed to who pays for what and what share each of you pays, put it in writing and both sign, then no arguments later.

If your travel companion is going to pay for repairs to your rig please send his/her address to me, I would like him/her as a travel mate  I'll even do a swap, you can have Mrs W 

PS I would prefer a female 

i always say if you blow a tyre of something then that should be halves but as for as they say
if the motor blew up i dont think i would expect some one to help out with that ,but simple things
like say a rock hit the windscreen while you were on the road they are things you should share
because if that other person was in there vehicle and it happened same thing they would have to
fix it by themselves, so simple things like that ,but huge things like a gearbox going etc ,well that is
different, but yeah for sure sit down and figure it out ,sit and think about things that can happen
like flat tyres, windscreens a rock hitting a light breaking it etc should be shared i reckon.
just not big things

I would only take a female, because I am sex mad 

(only joking)
