The family plans to spend 3/5 of $3,000 on gasoline and motel rooms, so they will spend (3/5) * $3,000 = $<<3/5*3000=1800>>1,800 on these expenses.
The remainder of the money is $3,000 - $1,800 = $<<3000-1800=1200>>1,200.
They plan to spend 1/2 of this remainder on meals, so they will spend (1/2) * $1,200 = $<<1/2*1200=600>>600 on meals. Answer: \boxed{600}.
