I have tried to compare cost of truck/TC to motels, and with out question the truck/TC is much more convenient and cheaper for me. The more I camp, and the more out of the way places I camp the more true it is. I typically use my trucks as my daily drivers, therefor there is no added cost for insurance, maintenance, tires, and related stuff than if I just had a car to drive to a motel.
When traveling in my truck/TC I can stop and spend the night just about anyplace I want for $30 or less. I can camp in the forest or my destination without having to drive many miles from a motel. Did I mention the probability of dirty beds in motels? Look at a mattress with a black light sometime.
When I camp in places where I use my Suzuki Samurai, it can be several miles to a motel, and most likely during 4x4 season no vacancies. Not a problem if you have a truck/TC.
