A round trip from Philadelphia to Alabama RV or Car ?

Hello

My wife and I are travelling to states in March 2013 for a two week trip.
We fly into JFK from there will be visiting friends in Philadelphia and Alabama.

We would like to compare hiring a RV verses a Car / Motels.

If anybody has experienced travelling using the above it would be good to hear the opinions for both options. Ie cost,comfort,adventure fun etc

Much appreciated

Vincent

Welcome to the TT... By using inter city transport from NYC,a rental might be needed only beyond Washington DC...If you have no skill set navigating a two ton truck in secondary roads, opt for a rental ca... Comparing costs Is your task, as the variables are endless...carracar

I haven't been RV'ing since i was a kid in the 1970's.

I remember it as a fun way to see nature, not so convenient if most of your destinations are big cities.

It's kind of a pain to have to break camp and put every little thing away just so you can go to the store and buy a loaf of bread, so one's shopping and eating habits must be adjusted accordingly.

That is balanced by the fact that checking into a motel, (moving your luggage in etc.), the time it takes to find a restaurant, wait for the bill etc., are no longer a factors.
