I never looked at RV'ing from a cost comparative perspective. Mainly because the actual cost and cost of ownership of the RV heavily weights the comparison. We RV for a million reasons not the least of which is the ability to travel in ultimate comfort. I mean, it's a rolling apartment complete with everything at your disposal en'route. Never mind your own sheets, towels, bed, food and completely self contained. I dislike sleeping in a bed that thousands have used before me. I don't like the cleaning chemicals used in hotels and the fact that they probably aren't really that clean anyway. And lastly, the freedom. I can take my rolling apartment literally anywhere, and if I get stuck in a traffic jam along the way, who cares? RV'ing is a lifestyle, not a financial decision.
