Adding a house cost per sq ft, maintenance upkeep, utilities, yard maintenance , etc., I think living cost is similar.

I can agree with most of your post except:"You control the purse strings, but in general, an apples to apples comparison = no savings in an RV."
With the same basic standard of lining I have experienced a change of 1/2 the cost of living full time in a camper compared with a house.
They are completely two different lifestyles and as you pointed out "RV parks like neighborhoods/house costs vary widely." I don't know how we could compare the two apples to apples. Each style has it's own unique situations.
