I almost always find when traveling that it is often more economical for me to drive my car (a Honda Fit, which gets around 38-40 mpg on the highway) and stay in motels, rather than take my motorhome and stay in campgrounds. The break-even point basically depnds on the ratio of distance and time spent, and to a somewhat lesser extent the relative cost of motel/hotel rooms and campsites. There are reasons to prefer the motorhome that aren't purely economic, of course; and sometimes reasons to prefer the car, for that matter.
BarabooBob's month in the Rockies would cost me perhaps $500 for gas in the car, which leaves about $115 per day for room and board. $60-$80 a night for a motel/hotel, eating one large meal out, and carrying or buying some breakfast ceral and fruit and stuff to make sandwiches seems quite doable...but it's just a different sort of vacation travel, and probably would involve some different destinations (at least for me).
