After 5 yrs in campgrounds, we've settled into hotels. Most campgrounds aren't opened; those that are have limited sites and charge full price; it is cold setting up and breaking down. There are hotels along any route that have restaruants, bars, RV parking and indoor pools. Much nicer to just get out after a long day on the road and proceed into a nice warm room, have a good meal, a drink or two, then a dip in the pool with no need to break down a campsite in the cold the next morning. Just my two cents worth ..... camp on!
I do not make these type trips, but if I did.......^^ sounds like the best plan.
I'm not a clean freak or anything like that but one reason for owning an RV is to avoid other people's bedbugs. Somehow, it doesn't make sense to me to spend $40K+ on an RV and then sleep in a motel room, while the RV is parked outside.
Well we camp in our rv between 140 to160 days a year however when it 15 degrees outside, snowing and I've just driven 400 miles in the stuff, a nice hotel room with a restaurant and bar sounds pretty good to me. :E
