Is it possible to travel around the USA for 4 months with $5000-6000 usd? (alien.top)

We're two people, will mostly be camping/tenting and going to an occasional hotel every now and then. Focus will be on nature/national parks, but also cities, towns, and cabins every so often. Will mostly be cooking our food but go to restaurants every now and then.
Cost includes everything except car payment. Hoping to do $40-50 a day for two people!

Do you think this is doable?

I don't think so. Not for 4 months.

I've spent extensive time hiking across the US, 14,000 miles over the course of years. That's about as cheap as you can get, sleeping mostly in the woods, eating ramen most nights.

And even then a hiker budget is 1k-1.5k/month, for one person.

Considering you'll have the added expense of vehicle, gas, paying $20-30/night camping fees, and then hotels ontop of that. Just food alone in the US it's hard to get under $20/day per person anymore, and that's with minimal restaurant meals.

I think this budget would be doable for 2 months, but 4 is really pushing it.

That's awesome, mind saying a little bit more about your experience? Appalachian trail/PCW? What was your favorite area?
