I'll use a 2003 Class C motor home purchased 7 years ago as an example because that's what we have. I paid $23000 for it. Let's assume I sell today for $15000. OK much of this has to be estimated. S...

Back when we owned our Class C, it didn't get used nearly as often as the OP shows using theirs, so the "cost per day" would have been considerably higher for us.
But as I look back at 45,000 miles of travel in that RV, the "priceless" moments, the ones that are not duplicatable by staying in a hotel, were the places we camped. On the shores of oceans. In forests of gigantic trees. Listening to a babbling brook just feet from our door. Watching Sea Otters play. Being "one with Alaska, or Nova Scotia, or British Columbia...". Or simply sitting in a State Park around a campfire with the kids and grandkids, toasting marshmallows - can't do that at a Holiday Inn, either.
There are just certain magical places where one will NOT find a hotel - and experiencing those is worth whatever the Class C cost was.
