I've been reading the posts on this and several other RV related forums. About 7 years ago I began to notice and increase in new to RVing posts. With many of those being folks wanting to fulltime in an RV because living costs have gotten so high. You could tell from the information they provided and questions asked many of these folks were living paycheck to paycheck and had gotten in over their heads and were looking for a less expensive housing solution and not so much an RV lifestyle.
Sure you may be able to save money by living in an RV versus renting an apartment or a house but there can be large unplanned expenses that you need to have the money or at least save for. $1200 refrigerator, New roof $2000-6000, Tires & Batteries every 4 to 5 years...etc. Monthly space rents can be close to rates for an apartment.
