RVing versus hotels for a trip out west fromVA

To me a journey in the RV is a trip. It still requires cooking, some cleaning and, of course, the drive. However, sleeping in my own bed each night and having a bathroom available make it an easy call for land trips. To offset a trip, I like to occasionally throw in a cruise, which is a true vacation. Someone else cooks, makes the bed, cleans the room so I can relax. So this summer we will take a trip cross country followed by a cruise in the fall. The best of both worlds.
