One of the main reasons I have the RV is so I can sleep in my own bed under my own sheets. I also get to eat/drink what I want when I want. I have spent too much times in hotels for work. The RV is an escape from that.
THAT is the key!
Many years ago, I worked on fire bombers. That meant that I spent nearly all summer, every summer, living in motels and eating in restaurants. The motels ranged from Motel 6 at $30 per night to the super duper exclusive motel on the lakeshore at $75 per night. Y'know, after a while, they all looked the same, and the food in the restaurants all tasted the same.
Given the choice, I will take the RV anytime I can. If snow and ice is likely, then perhaps a motel, but then there is the problem of finding a pet-friendly one that won't have a hissy fit over the dog. I will admit that pet-friendly motels are becoming more common.
Yes, driving the motorhome is expensive, but I was aware of that when I bought it.
