New Guy, Basic Questions on Full Time Cost

Just wanted to see if anybody has any advice for living full time in a Fifth Wheel or TT? I am seriously considering it, but not sure about the repairs involved, electricity, costs, etc. I am willing to learn. What concerns me is that the costs for a few RV parks that I have checked where I live that are not a complete dump cost at least $400 a month (I currently pay $800 for my studio apt, not including electricity). When you consider that, and the cost of the Trailer itself plus future repairs, its really not that much cheaper than an apartment.

Correct, in fact the RV will probably be more expensive.

I have also looked into just laying a trailer down on land in the country, either renting space from somebody or buying land myself (boondocking?), but unsure about land-use regulations for that. Thank you.

I also plan on buying a nice truck in the next year, possibly a Silverado or Tundra, something that is great for towing and also allows me to do some landscaping.

RVing is really a chosen lifestyle, not a money saving way of life.

The only way it will save you money is to buy a cheap/old RV and park it on family or friends land for free/cheap.
