RV parks with full utility services might be charging any rate from $200 to more than $1000 a month, depending on location, an that rate may or may not include electricity or cable TV when you are monthly. Just as with stick and brick, it depends on property values and thus location. Moderate size urban areas will have rents higher than small cities, and RV parks may be further from the center of things, in lower rent neighborhoods. In major urban areas, you might find yourself out past the suburbs.
Not many urban RV parks are outdoorsy. For that, I usually have to find parks in resort areas, or actual campgrounds in public parks. Permission for long stays in public parks is not common, but sometimes available for work campers, providing a service inthe park. You might have to arrange the nursing job and work camping jobs to fit seasonal park schedules, if you were to take that approach.
The only other thing I might advise is about arranging the traveling jobs to be in moderate weather, climates in which you would enjoy being outdoors. Part of what makes living in the confined space workable is the outdoor living. Staying cooped up inside trying to be cool in torrid weather, or trying to stay warm in freezing weather, is not likely the experience you seek. If living at the weather extremes is part of the requirement, then you need to shop the RV carefully, as many struggle with hot days in the sun, and others simply are not meant to function as housing in very cold climates.
