Newbie Just Starting Out, Lots of Questions

I am not sure if this is the right forum, but I have started thinking about living out of a travel trailer or similar. I was inspired by this website I found called cheaprvliving.com with guys who boondock on public land, after researching nomadic lifestyles in the US. I am thinking, is this right for me?

Here's a bit of a backstory. I'm finishing graduate studies next year, and the economy is not what it used to be. There's a lot of competition for jobs. I have read many stories of guys and couples going broke trying to pay the bills while living off savings in their apartments, searching for their first jobs in their careers. It can take a long time, even more than a year in some cases, to get an internship for experience and finally land a salaried position. In my case it will be as a high school teacher.

I've done camping and had some wild travel experiences while I was in college, so the whole "roughing it" is not an issue. I am content with just a pile of books and a laptop with internet to pass the time. Just need something to cook food, stay clean, and store extra food in a mini fridge. my plan on this is to get something under $10,000 to start and live off savings from student loans while camped out on public land, searching for jobs using satellite internet. I am not too familiar with terms but I guess this is called boondocking.

I have mentioned it to a few people and they think it's crazy. Then again they see nothing wrong with moving back in with their parents or accepting handouts. I'm done with that. The more I think about this though, the more I think it's a better idea than being saddled in a one year leased apartment or similar. Location (aside from climate considerations) is not an issue because I would go where the jobs are, the more it makes sense. I can't really predict where I'll land my first substitute teaching gig or real job, but I know for a fact that the income from that would not normally be enough to pay the bills.

I am an absolute newbie at this, and the budget as I said is $10,000 with minimal monthly income. It's different from retirement, this is a mobile base for someone not yet anchored down but looking to start. I realize there will be regular expenses from maintenance. All that being said, what would be the best type of rv for this?

Here's a bit of a backstory. I'm finishing graduate studies next year, and the economy is not what it used to be. There's a lot of competition for jobs. I have read many stories of guys and couples going broke trying to pay the bills while living off savings in their apartments, searching for their first jobs in their careers. It can take a long time, even more than a year in some cases, to get an internship for experience and finally land a salaried position. In my case it will be as a high school teacher.

I've done camping and had some wild travel experiences while I was in college, so the whole \"roughing it\" is not an issue. I am content with just a pile of books and a laptop with internet to pass the time. Just need something to cook food, stay clean, and store extra food in a mini fridge. my plan on this is to get something under $10,000 to start and live off savings from student loans while camped out on public land, searching for jobs using satellite internet. I am not too familiar with terms but I guess this is called boondocking.

I have mentioned it to a few people and they think it's crazy. Then again they see nothing wrong with moving back in with their parents or accepting handouts. I'm done with that. The more I think about this though, the more I think it's a better idea than being saddled in a one year leased apartment or similar. Location (aside from climate considerations) is not an issue because I would go where the jobs are, the more it makes sense. I can't really predict where I'll land my first substitute teaching gig or real job, but I know for a fact that the income from that would not normally be enough to pay the bills.

I am an absolute newbie at this, and the budget as I said is $10,000 with minimal monthly income. It's different from retirement, this is a mobile base for someone not yet anchored down but looking to start. I realize there will be regular expenses from maintenance. All that being said, what would be the best type of rv for this?","body@stringLength":"2357","rawBody":"I am not sure if this is the right forum, but I have started thinking about living out of a travel trailer or similar.

Satellite internet has its own set of expenses. You have to either buy or lease the equipment, then pay a monthly fee for service.

You might be able to make this work but it will take a lot more research on your part. 'RV' does not always equal inexpensive. Unless you're very handy, repairs will be a major expense.

You need a source of drinkable water.

You need some acceptable method for disposing of human wastes.

You need a place to boondock - private landowners will not appreciate your being there and most public lands will limit camping in some fashion.

You need sources of energy (gas, electric, or propane) for most of the things you mentioned.
The fridge runs off of either electricity or propane, the water heater runs off of propane, a furnace runs off of propane, the stove runs off of propane, an AC unit, if needed, runs off of a lot of electricity.

Costs may be higher than you assume.

The options mentioned above, work camping or a long term contract at a cheap RV camp, may be better than boondocking. However, check prices for long term contracts vs. rent (including the cost of the RV) and, if work camping, find out if you can leave for job interviews.
