If the hospital has an outdoor parking lot, you may well be able to overnight there. Strike up a conversation with a security guard (have some hospital paperwork with you) and ask. Motorhomes can typically operate for 2 or 3 days without any hookups and a week if you drive occasionally to charge the house batteries.
Mother in law living with us had a heart attack last week and got flown 600 km to a city hospital. We debated between following with the MH or the car. We chose the car but checked out the situation for the MH. The hospital only had parkades, though there was a pay parking lot a couple of blocks away that would have worked. No one around to ask permission from. Nearest campsite about 12 km away. We lucked out staying at travelLodge which has a discount rate for people visiting hospitals - $79 a night. Glad we took the car - the hotel was very comfortable, it only took $120 worth of gas for the trip and it was much easier driving around and parking in the city. I bought a 1 week pass for the parkade for $40. The parking lot for the MH (two spots) would have been $120. They kept MIL for four days and we brought her home in good shape.
Even if the MH doesn't work well for hospital trips, it will for many other occasions. I think your mobility will be much greater.
