Well, whatever works for you and your DH. For us, we were going to stay at the AoA on this last trip but the cost for the same time was over $500 difference from the Fort at a premium site. Now in all fairness, what we saved in staying at the fort, we paid in Gas getting there (Tuck only got 6.7 MPG.) That said, however. We could eat in the camper food that we wanted. Didn't have to spend $100 for meals out every night (For 3 of us). While we did eat at some of the restraunts, as that is part of the charm and fun, we also ate many meals in the camper. DW and I slept in our Queen bed, and DD12 slept in her Queen Bed. We had TV, sofa, Dinette, Sink, Stove, Oven microwave, AC, Heat, Fridge, Fire Place, Bathroom, Shower, Our own linens (and we KNEW how clean they were). Sure we did not have House keeping, but I am okay with it. Even when we do stay in a hotel (regardless of where) we tend to "Clean Up" anyway so really it's not that much different except for in a hotel, there are those things that I do NOT have.Something in the orthopedic category. I can't see myself convincing my husband to ever spend money on an RV or trailer that needs hundreds of dollars of "interior design" when a hotel room is just as cheap when it comes to swiping a CC... LOL
Just curious as I really do not know... Do the hotels offer "Orthopedic" beds? (or some option to get close to it)?
I don't see the cost of the RV in the same way because we can use it other places. Obviously though, it's a major expense. So I guess if you factor the cost of an RV itself (buying one) into the overall costs and the amount of times you may (or may not) use it, it could definitely be a huge factor. Me personally, I love being in the outdoors anyway, plus the DW hates to fly.
Oh yeah... Another HUGE benefit of bringing our Travel Trailer with us, we can take more than a couple of outfits for the varied weather, plus we have plenty of space for souvenirs on the way home.
