You can full-time for as cheaply or expensively as you want. $30-$50/night is high. You can do much better, especially on monthly rates and not at fancy 'resorts'. Some can full-time on $20,000 - $25,000/year. I'd say the average do so on $30,000 - $40,000/year.
If you install solar panels you can do it for less because you don't need RV parks with electric hookups. You can do free camping at BLM and national forest dispersed sites. Or you can stay in campgrounds that don't offer electric such as national forest campgrounds.
If you're working and need internet you'll need a very good data plan and Verizon is the best carrier for the western states.
If you have no experience with RVs you might try renting one for a week and see how you like it.
Another thing... at your young age you'll need to think carefully at medical insurance. It's not easy to do economically nowadays. You also need to pick your state for domicile and medical insurance varies with each state if you're going to be traveling and need to use it.
Also, check out the full-timing section of this forum for more information. Good luck!!
On Edit: I just remembered this casual survey of full-timers and what their budge is:
