Time saved/lost versus using motels

I have traveled both ways and if you already have a MH it is a cheaper and better way to travel to see the country. I used to track all my costs when I first started to travel in the MH and found most of my trips ranged from $70-100/day. That includes gas, food, CG's, propane, gifts my wife buys etc. The most expensive trip was Alaska in 2006 which cost $106/day. I could not do this cheaper traveling by car and staying in hotels. I think most hotels that my wife would want to stay at would run between $80-100/night without counting eating at restaurants everyday. Another consideration is if you want to drive after dark it is much easier to pull into a well lit Walmart etc at night that trying to find a CG off of your route and pull into a site after dark. The later you drive into the night by car the more the hotels fill up and the less chance of finding a room. If you don't already own a MH it will never be cheaper when you consider all the costs of ownership.
