My wife and I have this discussion all the time she says you can by a lot of hotel rooms for what you pay for a MH, and depending on what you pay for the MH she is right. However if you already own the MH and you prefer to fish, ride bikes hike etc. in remote areas vs playing golf and staying at RV resorts, I think it is much cheaper in your MH. I tracked all my trips when I first retired and bought the MH and they varied from $69/night in the lower 48 states to $107/night for a 3mo trip to Alaska. Short stays with a lot of mileage it doesn't pay to take the MH, low miles and longer stays it becomes very cost effective. I don't think you could fly/drive to Alaska and stay in hotels and eat out every night for $107 per day. It is also not the same trip to me if I didn't have all my stuff like my raft and fishing equipment, bike and hiking stuff. I have visited NP's when I was still working stayed in hotels outside the park and did day trips into the parks but it was just not as enjoyable. They only problem is we are 16 years older now and some things change, and I am afraid my wife will eventually win that argument.
