I can't speak for you, obviously, only for myself. I have a small TT and have used it for a couple month-long trips out west. Last year, however, the TV broke just as we were about to embark on a trip to Yellowstone, so we wound up flying out, renting a car, and doing the hotel thing instead.
Now we also like the local cuisine thing, but don't mind cooking our own. I personally love not having live out of a suitcase, and I much prefer my own bed. Frankly, Yellowstone suffered for having to do the hotel thing. Partly this was due to last minute arrangements meaning we had to take whatever hotel was available due to cancellations, so we had to move every day, regardless of anything else, instead of being able to stay a week at our own choice of central location.
So personally, I'd go the used RV route. But your mileage may vary. If you prefer not to cook, the RV probably won't save you any significant money, so the choice likely rests on personal preferences regarding your own bed/stuff, suitcase, etc.
