In our clipper group (1973 - 1980), we mention costs for reliability. Like Mike_Collie, we consider $15K+ to be about what you end up spending to get a clipper that can go anywhere without issue. The actual purchase cost is between $500 and $6000 - the rest is repairs, replacing, updating.
I don't think buying used is a bad way to go - but I do think it's not as cheap as some folks think.
I also think there are a lot of folks who think full-timing is going to save them tons of money - but it's not realistic.

And you're not living free when you're making others pay for your utilities and land you sit on - you're just deferring your expenses to others.
