For me it's about several things: 1) we take our large dog with us every where we go, I don't have to worry about whether or not motels/hotels accept pets or large pets. 2) I get to sleep in my own bed. 3) I can drive as long or short as I choose and can stop anywhere I want to sleep for the night. 4) I have my own shower/toilet and don't have to worry about who's used it before me. 5) I save a ton of money because I don't eat out as much.
I've done a cursory analysis of the cost differences. Excluding the cost of the rig and truck because I would have them anyway, its a break even situation between dining out/hotel/pet boarding costs and fuel/RV camping costs.
I'm a little slower in the camper and truck because I only drive 65 mph but it's easier to see the countryside if you slow down a bit so we don't mind. Plus the slower pace is easier on my camper.
