To RV or not to RV, That Is The Question

This is not an attempt to hijack the thread but to solicit info for the OP. How many on here grew up in an RV/Camping family? When we got into the lifestyle, the DW and I had grown up camping/RVing and decided it was the way we wanted to travel. I'm afraid that the OP, if they have never camped, may not enjoy the learning curve associated with a long trip in an RV (not even considering traveling with young teens). That said, if they break into the lifestyle by taking a series of trips in preparation for their "once in a lifetime vacation," they will get more enjoyment out of the trip. But, if this is just a one time thing, traveling and staying in hotels/motels might be a better option.
