Remember the eight magic words of why we RV. "The hair in the shower drain...is mine".
I've RVd for many years - more than half of those with a towable that would meet the OP's requirement for being towable by a 3500-lb-rated tow vehicle. The only bath facility was a porta-potti. Does it really matter if the hair in the shower belongs to a previous campground guest, or a previous Marriott or Hilton guest?

It was an attempt at humour. And now you know why I have a day job. Be nice now. :)
I eventually upgraded to a RV (first 20ft then 23ft) with a dry bath, and it's a huge luxury - I don't mean to dismiss that. I've spent thousands of nights in motels so I know the feeling of unwanted remnants of past guest in motel rooms, but that does happen somewhat less in medium or higher-priced motels vs. the very low-priced ones.
When I started RVing, gas was in the $.60 range, and when I bought that last RV, many years later, it was in the $1.20 range. Not long after, it shot up to well over $2, and now not too many years later it's $4 in many/most places. I do think that changes the desirability of an RV as strictly a transportation substitute for a drive down I95. Absolutely, you can do things with an RV, for example in terms of staying economically in/near national and state parks, especially out west where distances are generally greater. And the experience is undeniably more pleasant in some ways. But the relative economics of an RV where the primary purpose is simply travel from one point to another (as in this case) have taken a huge, huge hit in the last decade or so.
