My wife and I both travel for a living. We were averaging around 500 hotel stays a year between the two of us, and usually not together. We are down quite a bit from that, she is currently not working and I am in a different position that has me down around 150 nights a year in hotels.
I have only encountered bed bugs once, and it was in a Crowne Plaza. My bride has seen them several times and gotten them more than once, not fun to deal with!
We bought our RV to enjoy weekends away at the lake and to make travel more comfortable for the longer trips. We do travel with a pet which is a plus for him and us. Pet friendly hotels have gotten greedy, last one I checked into wanted an additional $25 PER NIGHT. We were considering a 3 night stay. Took the RV instead and parked next to my out of state office. Last trip up there I installed a 30 amp RV circuit.
so now I am good to go!
I didn't buy the RV to save money, so much as to expand my choices and MY comfort.
