Have you priced RVs yet ?
If total cost is the over-riding factor, you need to consider a LOT of factors......not the least of which is gas mileage. Unless you can afford the Mercedes, you probably will get 8-10 MPG.
This could be $420 in gas, round trip.
Then, it is at least a 2 day trip; cost to overnight at a campground.
Then there are ongoing upkeep and maintenance.....and a parking place near to home if you don't have the space.
Things like this seldom can be "proved out" based on costs alone.
