I would much rather stay in my RV than to stay in a hotel. I retired, did a reasonable amount of motor-homing, then went back to work part time and that became full time. We like to take our pugs and they love RV-ing.
We started RV-ing, as such, in 1988-ish..it might have been 87. We started meeting full timers out on the road and found them to be laid back and friendly people. We eventually moved from a van, to a cab-over, to a travel trailer and loved camping right up next to the beach. We would camp in the early spring when the nights are cool so, we would open the windows, play some native American flute music, read books and listen to the ocean roll. We decided then that we were hooked for life to the RV lifestyle.
I don't have the time that I use to have to do a lot of RV-ing. That's one of the major reasons that we moved from a class A motorhome to a travel trailer. For the cost of an RV you could buy a lot of gas and a lot of nights in a hotel. Heck, campground fees now cost about the same as a night at an economical hotel. I just made reservations for the Wilmington NC KOA for this Christmas and it was $60.00 a night. With my membership card I saved a few bucks but, the point still stands.
There's something relaxed about RV-ing. I just prefer it and will do it for as long as I can or, until I get this thing paid off..LOL..
