Thanks... I guess it's more than finding a place to place our head and fill our stomachs. not lugging a few overnight bags into the hotels at night or making sure the cooler is still full of ice.

Hoping an RV would offset the hotel costs and the need to not "push" to get to the next city to find a room.
I love RVing and that is about the only reason to do it. You still have to find a place to camp, setting up camp is more work then checking into a hotel, and the 10 MPG fuel cost along with the RV cost and maintenance would cover a lot of hotel expense and then some. Having an RV is not a way to save on cost. For myself, I wouldn't have it any other way.

wife and i bought a 33ft TT last year and new f250 ford truck to tow it. the main reasons we bought it were having our own bed, bathroom, etc. i have never liked staying in a motel room no matter how nice and clean it appeared. don't want to sleep and bath where thousands of other people have done the same.
other reason is that we are able to travel with our 4 small dogs anywhere we like to travel which so far has been mainly in the southeast us.
add this to the fact that we love relaxing in a state park or private campground sitting outside, grilling and cooking food, drinking an adult beverage. very relaxing for us.
