Thank you so much for your reply!
We checked yesterday and we could drive five hours south of us to the beach for $65 in gas (which is comparable to my Xterra actually) and then $20 a night to stay on base. Providing our own food, we're saving a lot due to hotel rooms being $120 on average at the beach. Now I know you take into consideration the cost of maintaining the vehicle and the savings dwindle. But, your comfort and freedom (and the ability to load of up and go when you have the $300 in the bank for a week trip to the beach) is really exciting for me to consider.
But I certainly don't want to get an RV and we can't go anywhere because all our extra income is going to just maintaining the thing....
