My husband and I would like to buy a motorhome to live and travel in for a while. We would like to pay cash for it but they are very expensive it seems. Its time to trim the budget and start setting aside more money so we can live our dreams without any debt.

Honestly, my best advice is that saving money only gets you so far.
You can cut cable, find a cheaper phone carrier, switch to using generic products instead of name brand... but at the end of the day you're still limited by the amount you earn. Increase that, and you open up a lot more possibilities than you had.
If you're really looking for help trimming your budget, though, I'd recommend heading over to the We Are Debt Free board over on BabyCenter. That's kind of what they specialize in, since they follow Dave Ramsey's teachings, and they have a great budget template that someone will share if you make a post there. They'll be better at pointing out fluff in the budget than I would probably be, simply because I'm not as strict at following the DR principles.
This is a Dave Ramsey-inspired group for those who choose not to be "normal!" Discuss your progress in working those baby steps, get advice, and learn new ways to save.
