In many ways, I tend to agree with Dave. If all you want to do is get to Wyoming fast, there is a lot to be said for hotels. Do you plan to come back? If not - or if not soon (meaning storing the camper for a while), you need to consider the ramifications of that.

My dislike of hotels comes primarily from my experience with them as emergency housing on the road, while the TM was being repaired. There are cheap hotels and there are good hotels, and they are not the same. Rack rates are atrocious, so make advance reservations. They may hassle you about the dogs, and charge an extra fee. And they will put you in the dog-friendly part of the hotel, where the rooms are not particularly clean. (Just my experience.) OTOH, most hotels have a free breakfast of some kind, and won't complain too much if you pack a lunch from the serving area.

Whatever you do, don't shine a UV flashlight around the room. Been there, done that, gagged.

Whatever you choose, enjoy the trip.
