I'm getting tired of cycling my local area constantly and hotels are expensive these days.

The idea would be to pull it to a spot, set it up and use it as my mobile hotel room for the duration of the event. Most of the time will be weekends or 3-day weekend type deals. Anyone else doing this? Any cycling specific floor plans or accessories that make this better?
In other words, you want to do hub-and-spoke tours.
Rowan and I try to do these about once a month.
We have a large van so we can travel with our bicycles, camping equipment if we need it, etc. etc.
On a couple occasions we slept in our van ... Rowan built us a sleeping platform to make that a comfortable option.
We have also camped in tents.
And we stay in caravan park cabins.
When we lived in Victoria, we travelled all over Victoria and even up just into New South Wales and across into South Australia. Now that we live in Tasmania, we are mainly restricted to Tasmania, but fortunately there is still a lot to see ... and this year we've also gone to Victoria and Queensland (although not with the van ... just with the bicycles those times).
