Strangely enough, sometimes it gets where the MH actually is cheaper than hotelling it. For example, my rig which I probably have eaten about $7k depreciation on from when I bought it to when I sell it. If I assume a decent hotel is about a C-note, and that I've spent 100 or so nights camping in it since I bought it, I am paying around $70 a night, and since I bring/cook food rather than eat out, that is more savings. This is assuming $100 a night (which is a low rate in central Texas, usually it is about $140, even in the rural areas. One might find cheaper, but bedbug eradication costs can make up for that.)
Of course, this all goes out the window when I move to a motorhome, but because it sits in a driveway and not a storage area 40+ miles away, it will get used more often, pretty much every weekend, if not for longer trips, so if used for an expected life of 10-15 years, it also will be fairly cheap compared to hotel fees, even factoring in the cost of a CG.
