My mH doesn't have bedbugs, I can take my dogs and stop when and where I like. I have food cost at grocery store and no tips. My coffee is always ready and if I want a cocktail it aint costing me $7. If I am in a hurry I will fly although it rubs my ass to pay $150 per night for a room and $30 a day for a car plus parking fees at the hotel.

If I take the MH @ 7.5 MPG I am looking at $896 in gas. Plus I have an oil change and general wear and tear on the MH. Then you add in the food and drink in the camper and it will cost me about $1000-$1100.
It is cheaper and quicker to fly. So if price or time are the main concerns then taking a MH is not your best option. If you don't want to fly and like the adventure of road trips then a MH is an option.
