All of this seems rather silly, including the mileage. Why spend the money on an Rv and build some budget for MPG? Spend all that money and fret over what might be a few hundred dollars a year extra in fuel. And the car/hotel travel VS Rv travel has so many variables it could go on (and has ) forever. I don't bother calculating and splitting hairs whether my RV is more economical than car/hotel travel. I know I like to have my own stuff, I know I hate hotels, I know I like having my own food, clothes, bikes, sheets, towels, etc etc. I know I own it and I know who's slept in my bed. If it's more economical, great. I don't care. We all bought Rv's for the same reasons I mentioned above, why does this conversation even come up anymore?

We went to Disney World about 8 years ago. When planning I ran the numbers for flying and staying at a hotel on Disney property. Driving the minivan and staying in a motel along the way and staying on Disney property. And then taking the TT and staying in a campground along the way and staying at Fort Wilderness. The numbers worked out to be a wash for the flying vs taking the minivan. And about $300 more to take the TT.
We ended up taking the TT. We were able to stop and see Stone Mountain along the way. Yes its a lot of driving, but for me driving is relaxing. I would definitely do the drive again.

I went last year from jersey. It was way cheaper to drive the rv to the fort then fly 4 people down and rent at a disney property. Plus i saved on food. Win win.
