The Perterson's started the Escapee's club with children and no job! He was in construction, and traveled around the country, and started full timing with the family, and home schooling their kids.

They have several campgrounds around the country. The lots are fairly large, they rent them out, and offset some of the maintenance dues that way. If you buy a lot, you are welcome to spend all year on it, or put it into the rental pool while you are out sightseeing. The lot owner does not collect the rent, it will be spent on road maintenance or something else.
They can provide you with a mail forwarding service, or other services, that typically are required by those who live full time in a RV. You never need to buy into a lot to join the club, or even rent a site once in a while, but it is a great and friendly place to visit, and safe too!
Many full timers are retired, and find that living in the RV is much less expensive than living in a home. Some spend weeks at a time at BLM land across the southwest, or find a low cost place to spend the winter like Quartzsite or nearby Brenda AZ. I would like to spend the summer at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon sometime! Just outside the Grand Canyon NP (in the forest), anyone can camp for free in the many meadows, just park off the main roadways, and don't start a forest fire. Check with the rangers for a free campfire permit, that will allow campfires in some locations, or using a outdoor BBQ or propane stove in most areas.
You could camp host, if you could watch the campground - they normally provide a free campsite, and most Forest service areas also provide power to the camp hosts.

Have fun in your future endeavors! Thanks very much for your service. And you are Very brave, no matter what Donald Trump says about being less of a hero for McCain going to someplace where capture was possible. . .
My nephew was over in Afganistan working on UAV's. Repairing the motors and such. He was closer than I ever want to be to the front lines. . . And he just fixed them, and slept in air conditioned comfort at night. . .
