That means about 125 gal of gas each way.
At an estimated $2.25/gal = $563 total
200 miles a day on the bike while there... = ~ $14/day X 4 days = $56
7 days of food ~ $35/day = $245
Figure a couple hundred for lodging over the whole time and there ya go.

Bonus of a trailer would be an enclosed place to park the bikes and sleep if need be.
your math is way off.

If you are gonna do the ride by yourself cut the gas bill in half, then lodging is $80 pp plus 1 night near the gap, where we will wind up room sharing.

If you drive your truck with other people in it, then divide the truck gas bill by how many people you have in it.
