There are a ton of ways to save money RVing. One you mentioned, and that is boondocking. Checkout Free Campsites and Campendium
Another is stick around awhile, spend a week or so at each site and check out the area. Most BLM and Forest Services Campgrounds have a 14 day limit so take advantage. Saves on gas and we have found some hidden gems.
Look for passes that you qualify for. The feds offer some National Passes and check out each state you visit. New Mexico has a great annual pass for its state parks. It costs $225 but after that, dry camping is free and places with electricity are about $4 a night. They mostly have showers and flush toilets so its worth the price.
Happy camping
