If folks think that motorhoming is a somewhat "expensive hobby" - try boats or planes as a hobby!
For general ground travel comfort and convenience, a small-as-you-can-tolerate Class C is hard to beat versus motel/hotel travel.
With our Class C, we do/enjoy such things as:
- Pull over as needed to go potty ... the passenger can even "go" while the rig is going down the road. BTW, this becomes more and more important the older one gets.
- Pull over as needed for a quick rest or meal.
- Camp all over with or without hookups in one's own familiar (and clean?) environment.
- Attend various events with all the comforts right with you.
- Explore out in middle of nowhere with a bed, a refrigerator, a stove, a heater, an air conditioner, a shower, a lunge chair, a table, etc. always with you.
It's mostly a recreational hobby for many to own and operate an RV, but comparing it to what other hobbies can cost it isn't that much out of line.
