I toured along I-40 in my 19' C- from NC to AZ and back for 21 days in the fall of '09. As a bachelor, I had no issues with staying in rest areas and truck stops along the way, so used no campgrounds at all. My only 'extra' expenses were souvenirs & gas.
I ate what I'd have eaten at home, and ate out less often than I would have at home. At 11-12 MPG, I can't say it was 'cheap' exactly, but it wasn't near the budget buster auto travel with restaurants & motels would have been. I also made better time than using motels (or campgrounds) would have allowed. I was able to take naps when I wanted to, or sit in comfort & read for an hour if I wanted.
For that type of travel, you can't beat a small moho, IMO.
