It becomes a relatively inexpensive way to travel when you hit the road for longer periods of time. We prefer a motorhome for that reason. The driving is much more comfortable and I can get up and make lunch while Bob drives. We do like to go for 4-5 weeks at a time. Sometimes we boondock and sometimes we stay at state parks. Only occasionally do we use "RV resorts" because the prices are so high. Ski season is the exception because RV resorts are often the only game in town during early spring. We bought a gently used rig 16 years ago and have definitely got our money's worth out of it. Now we are deciding whether or not to buy a diesel pusher bus for longer trips. Again, we will buy used and Bob is a mechanic so we don't worry too much about maintenance costs. If you have the time to travel and like to road trip, I highly recommend it.
