Check out national parks, national forests, & state parks for reasonably priced spots. If you want max flexibility, install enough solar and/or generator to allow you to go without electric plug-in for at least a week at a time. You would get payback pretty fast.
Make sure you switch to LED lighting if it's not in the RV you buy. That will save a ton of electricity.
Do your reading on here to educate yourself before you jump in. Go to RV shows and check out the options in RVs.
I think it's a great idea for a family!
thanks coolmom! We looked at a keystone raptor last night that had an onan 5500 generator and a battery system as well. It was immaculate for about 40k. We're considering it, but my wife wants something with a small tub and a somewhat bigger pantry. will definitely do on the LED lighting.
I think most of the electric will go to keeping my cameras and computers charged and going!
