I have traveled in either rented RV or F&F RV several times and I'd share my 0.02.

Driving a full size (25ft+) RV is baller af. The gas is crazy on those. Can't remember what the gas price was when I last did it ~2yrs ago, but IIRC, my calculation was something like $1/km in gas average. It's even worse if one's towing a car behind it. So the idea really isn't doing roadtrip with it, but rather, go somewhere, stay for a week or two, and then move onto next spot for another week or two.

RV park isn't too bad and many good RV parks are located in pretty awesome spots like lakeside or whatever. With full hook-up, a RV is very comfy.

It's definitely not a whole lot cheaper than hotel but the idea is that you could go into places like national parks and stay in there is pretty cool.

My dad has a Benz van converted RV that he travels with my mom or his friend when mom got tired of being on road and fly back. That's a lot better in mileage, but its size is more limited and not as comfortable.
