Some food for thought:
Don't know if you've ever owned or used a motorhome in the past. Frankly, having "been there and done that" before with owning a motorhome for about 6 years, it can get somewhat tedious/aggravating/time-consuming/et al. to do nightly stopovers with a motorhome if you're primarily deadhead driving from Point A to Point B, particularly if you're staying at campgrounds (which aren't as inexpensive as they used to be for a stay!). Getting the RV onto the site, level it up, hook up utilities, get things out, etc. - and then undo it all in the morning when you leave. Don't forget to fill up with water......and dump the holding tanks....on the way out. Boondocking (no cost - with no hookups) at a 'Camp Walmart' or something like that makes it easier but then you'll have to wrestle with the issue of having enough water and holding tank capacities to last you til your next opportunity to address them. Without a "toad" - towing a car behind you - your mobility will be limited to when and where you can go places with just the motorhome. But on the other side of the coin, having a "toad" adds some complexities to navigating the motorhome. Everything is a compromise!

Don't get me wrong - doing the motorhome thing IS a lot of fun and a very interesting way to travel. But for us: If it's primarily just deadhead driving with single night overnight stays, we'd opt to do the hotel/motel thing - it's a lot less hassle.

I think you've talked me out of a motorhome and into a motorcycle... I'm thinking a big, honking Gold Wing would be just about right...
