I'm working out my budget for an upcoming trip and looking at both options, and bringing the trailer is ending up being about half the cost. For us it's largely because we can't get just one hotel room, there are too many of us. So bringing one large trailer is much better if we can manage it. Also feeding us all at a restaurant is ridiculously expensive, even the cheapest fast food we can't get away with less than $40 for a meal, and we can only do that so many times on a trip before we need to eat something better. Bringing our kitchen and dining room with us saves us a lot, more than offsetting the increase fuel price.
Now, I am not factoring the cost of the trailer into that of course. Not going to go there:)
Don't you have like 8 or 11 kids? Totally different scenario than was originally posted.
This is another funny thread. Some objective answers, but it's awesome how quick preferences and phobias enter the equation, lol.
Like most questions, even the question is super subjective as there are a multitude of reasons, situations, locations, seasons, distances, Rv types, and personal prefer Eve's that need to be considered to decide what is "best" or most economical.
