Best thing I ever bought for racing was my van. Makes it so much easier the whole weekend. Having said that a couple of times at the end of the day we went to a hotel a few times and if you got the money its the way to go for sure. Nice hot bath/meal/bed.

Ditto.

but don't buy just one air mattress, I know.

I like to rough it

combination on trailer, tent or hotel for me - in that order

if circumstances were different, I'd have a van and use that

or if you can afford it, motorhome and tow the bike. Reckon that would work out cheaper than hotels - they dont depreciate that much or cost huge sums to run - just 000's to buy in the first place

Depends on money to an extent. The natural order if money is no object is:

Camper
Hotel (miss some of the craic)
Van (properly converted)
Tent

Note: if you are in a normal van on a cold night, it will be colder than a tent.

yes it bloomin is!! Get it ply lined at least and covering with carpet or similar will help, anything to keep the heat in. Having slept in both, laying naked in a field is probably warmer than a van which is bare!
