Do a search on the internet for any town or city. Look up "hotel", "motel", RV Park" and "campground". You will find more options for hotels and motels by far. Staying at Walmarts, etc., is dependent upon the laws of the town - many have banned overnight parking in parking lots, on the streets, etc.
Hotels and Motels are usually centered around the tourist or business section of towns, whereas RV Parks and campgrounds are usually on the outskirts.
So for ease of a place to stay, the hotel/motel route wins.
It's all the other things that will decide whether an RV makes sense to you. Do you prefer to eat out; do you mind sleeping in a different bed each night; are you OK with a drive to get to the tourist areas; and so on.
