Excellent post Bill!! Couldn't agree with you more.
One other note to consider, driving a motorhome is more labor intensive than driving a car and you may not be putting in the distance that you are used to when comparing to driving a car. If you are comfortable driving say 600 miles per day in a car, you may be just as tired only going 500 miles in a motorhome due to the increased concentration of the size, road conditions, wind buffetting, some detours (vehicles carrying propane tanks may need to be rerouted). Thus driving cross country in a motorhome may add a day or two to your time.
The plus side is that you can pull over in a rest area and take a snooze for a couple of hours and extend your driving time to make up the miles if you really want to get to your destination quicker.
When driving down to TV from Connecticut a couple of times per year, I prefer driving at night. Over 50% of the traffic is off the road by 9 PM and it makes the trip less stressful. Anyone driving I 95 from New York City through DC knows what I am talking about
