Not Utilizing RV Parks or Boondocking
Just wondering how many RV folks choose not to use RV Parks and places like Walmart or boon docking to overnight? Instead using motels, hotels, or AIRbnb. It would seem that it may defeat the purpose ...

If you ever cross the AZ/CA desert in the summer you will want to use a motel. Your RV will still be an oven at 2AM.
We have also stayed in a Casino Hotel while the RV was parked in the lot.
When we are visiting any major metro area (San Francisco for example). We leave the RV out on the edge and get a hotel for any sight seeing/activities. We leave the RV at a Truck stop/State Park/Campground and drive into town for museums, dinner, shows, etc. and sleep at a motel/hotel for a few nights. At Point Mugu Naval Station we put the RV in the For Sale lot and left it for 2 weeks while we were in San Francisco.
Another example is the Balloon Fest in Albu. If you want to see the dawn ascensions it is best to get a in town hotel that offers a shuttle service and park the RV out of town, unless you can get a space in the Festival RV area.
So yes we have and will continue to use hotels with the RV. Sometimes the convenience of the hotel far outweighs the hassle of getting an RV space, if one is even available.
