Compared to staying in hotels (sleeping in an unknown bed), eating in restaurants, and using someone else's toilet, I say that buying gas is cheap. My wife and I can travel for a month through the Rockies, driving 5000 to 6000 miles and spend under $4000. Try that with hotels and restaurants.
Not to play the devil's advocate, but just out of curiosity, does that under-$4000 amount factor in purchase price of the RV, insurance, repairs, and general upkeep of the unit?
In general, however, I do tend to agree with you.
It wouldn’t be much considering the car you would drive to a hotel/motel needs the same basic stuff!
Yes, but the car I would drive is my daily driver, in other words, I need it, and have to own it anyway. I'd almost bet that you have a car as well as your RV. Our RV is an additional vehicle, and frankly was initially WAY more expensive than my car, costs more to insure, and more to keep up. So, I can't really buy that line of reason. Sorry, just a stickler for accuracy I guess :C
