I don't have any clue what their min living conditions/accommodations are. I have no idea what their personal lives are. I know both of them have above intelligence. I know Mission's raw Math abilities are exceptional. I know Mickey's ability to break down AP slots is exceptional.

I don't require exceptional lush accommodations, however, I shy away from Motel 6 with riffraff, but I have stayed in much worse while on the road because of limited options. To be honest, as long as I have water, power, air, heat, internet, and a comfortable bed, I'm good.

I lived in the crime-ridden Naked City behind the Srtat for more than a year when I was 19/20. I lived near the worst part of Freemont and 11th. I have lived in weekly apartments like the Katie Arms apartments. I never had any issues.

Recently while traveling... as we did not have much choice unless we wanted to drive a long way in the middle of the night to find proper accommodations, so we oftentimes lived out of an SUV. We had satellite internet (Starlink) a big Bluetti power bank, a DC cooler, and a memory foam mattress and we were just fine.
Everyone gets lied about on the internet. If it's untrue, you don't care about it at all. In fact, it doesn't take a ton of resourcefulness to have a little fun with it.

Motel 6 is a place I've never stayed at. But I believe it's in the final stages of being sold to an outfit in India. I don't know if anyone else here has experience or knowledge about off-the-beaten-path "motels" throughout India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, but our worst Motel 6 complete with riffraff is a dream-come-true compared to most of them.

I have little experience with SUV accommodations, but that's what RV's are really for--short-term stays here & there. We lived in ours for about 5 years after selling the house, and even though it was over-the-top luxurious and sizeable as far as RV's go, it didn't measure up for that long a time.
After about 2 months and thousands of miles driving My 35' RV throughout WA. Without a Backup camera no less, I bought a nice 360 camera system, but I never got around to setting it up.
I wanted to look at a bunch of different land/properties that was going to take me up some steep winding mountain passes, barely drivable in a car. My wife was not comfortable driving this RV, She can/has, but nervously so, she needs more time to get used to it. Added to the fact that I tore my shoulder rotator cup(Very painful, and lasted for 3 weeks+) I rented a 4WD SUV for a month.

Try changing an RV tier on your own, I had to do it. Yes, I have good roadside, but when you are way the hell out in the middle of nowhere it will take forever for them to come.

Those RV tires are big and heavy, getting them off and on the rig isn't even the most difficult part. The hard part is getting the spare tire from under the RV and then getting the other one back up under there, all while lying on your back(with a torn rotator cup).

At one point, I ripped off the spare tire from underneath while going through some rough terrain, it messed up the cable wench/holder system. I didn't have any jack straps or anything I thought would hold it up well enough, you don't want that thing coming off while driving at any kind of speed. I had to give in and call a tow company to strap it up there. Guess what?
The guy did a shit job and it came off again the next day. I called them back out and they re-did it. Of course, It came loose again. It was hanging too low while swinging and banging around. The jack straps were getting frayed/cut while rubbing against the metal.

You know the saying, If you want somthing done right...

I found a Walmart and purchased some Jack Straps, wire hook turnbuckle kit, and a 3-ton floor jack to lift it up to the frame as tight as possible to secure it right. FFS, the Jacks Hydraulics didn't work, so I just used the small tire jack and slowly jacked it up and secured each side until it was secure as hell. It took a long time, I was filthy and scratched up all to hell, but I never had an issue with it after that.
