RVing versus hotels for a trip out west fromVA

We too are in Virginia, a co worker takes her husband & two children to California Every July, They tent camp and really enjoy it. They get to see so many more things & nature that you would never see staying at motels. They have done it two years & are planning to again do it this year.

With a truck camper and state & federal campgrounds you could do it at a fraction of the cost of restaurants & motels. Personally I wish I was in a position to do just that & hope to one day.
