I like statics, but I'd never have one in this country. They are an absolute money-pit with the way site owners have everything sewn up between themselves. Very different situation to in Europe, as MisterB hinted! If I want to stay in one in Britain I just rent one for a week.
Motorhomes are way out of our price range, and we could never justify one even if it was given to us. We simply can't afford to go away that often, and you have all the upkeep, insurance, road tax, and MOT to bother with. This is why we have a tourer, as it costs us nothing when we aren't using it, and we can just hook it up to the car when we do want to, as it stands on our driveway.

We have a static, a folding camper and a motorhome. All with different uses.
The static is brilliant, loads of space, all set up, like a home from home really, My Mum lives there now (Long story) but great for weekends,
The motorhome we have had since upgrading from a tourer 9 years ago and has taken me and the kids all over Europe, is great for a quick night away somewhere different or accomodation whilst visiting people. Also great for a holiday whilst visiting multiple locations especially abroad. It is expensive to run though and we have to make sure we use it regulary
I bought the Folding camper last year as we were due to go away with friends to france and stay in one place for 2 weeks (motorhome then becomes a pain and my tent takes up to much space in the car with everything else), However this didn't happen but we did take it for a 2 weeks to the south west (One week in Devon one in Cornwall) where we managed to go to lots of places the motorhome wouldn't in the height of the school holidays but this is inexpensive to buy, stores easily and is essentially like half a caravan but without the costs of storage/ ease of towing.
I think having a motorhome is great for a touring holiday or a cheeky night away, I tend to say for 2/3 days somewhere then move on in the van, The static is great for ease and comfort but can get boring going to the same place.
