I thin k you will find that buying an RV (even if you sell it again later) and paying for full hookups will cost you more than inexpenisve-but-safe-and-clean motels.
I entirely agree with this assessment. Probably just the difference in fuel costs alone would pay for motels, maybe even above the inexpensive-but-safe-and-clean grade. My 32' class C gets about 8 mpg, or a bit less, on the highway. It's a fun and enjoyable way to travel, but not economical for one person unless staying at a destination for more than a couple of days.
Many (most?) 36' motorhomes should be capable of working without hookups for a reasonably long time—a few days shouldn't be a problem with a bit of care in conserving water by taking quick showers etc.
