I get your point but it really is a cheaper way to travel if you put a price on things that you normally wouldn't. How much is sleeping in a bed without worrying about bed bugs worth? How about feeling good because you slept in a comfortable bed rather than the hard as a rock mattress in a hotel. How much is that worth? How much is it worth knowing what a black light doesn't have to reveal? How much is not having kids running and thumping on the floor above you worth? How much is knowing the rest of your living space is clean worth? How much money do you save by not having to eat in a restaurant for every meal? What about the friends you've made over the years. What's that worth to you? Yes the cost of the RV and repairs and fuel etc. isn't cheap but but why did you buy an RV in the first place? There's something you love about the lifestyle. How much is that worth? If you put a dollar value on everything, it's way cheaper than other ways to go places. I can't remember the last time I stayed in a Hotel and became friends with someone. Some of the things I've mentioned are priceless to me!
