I have owned three motorhomes, two Winnies and a GMC. While they were a lot of fun for family vacations, we drove into Canada and Mexico, visited national parks, lakes, the ocean, my rigs drank gasoline like crazy, 6.5 to 8 mpg. Then once they were set up to camp, all hooked up, leveled and so on, and we needed to go get more groceries or whatever it was a big production to decamp, drive there and back and set up again in camp. Also they need constant and sometimes expensive maintenance. Things get beat to death driving through vibration; connections break, and so on. Water tanks need to be filled and emptied.

At this point in my life I have been there, done that. I will drive my SUV and stay at hotels.
