You know, like every thing, prices vary. If you go to Southern California, if you stay in Palm Springs, $1000+, but if you go 50 miles south to Slab City, you can stay for free. So its all relative. Around me, on the ocean you can find some parks for under $400 a month, but you have to like the rain.
Have you ever done any RVing. It isn't for everyone. Some find them very claustrophobic. Some folks, like my better half, are pack rats and can't bear to part with anything. RVs get full quick.
Also RVs go from cheaply made to custom made. The cheap ones will give you more trouble than they are worth, so ask around and buy the best you can afford. The unfortunate thing with RVs is they depreciate. When you go out looking for your perfect RV, you will see a lot of low mileage vehicles. We saw one last week, a 2015 with less than 5000 miles, the gentleman bought a small Class A, and then didn't like it and traded it in for a truck and TT. He must have lost money on that deal.
If you haven't RVed before, I would really suggest renting one for at least a week to see if you really like the lifestyle.
What ever you decide, welcome to the forum, come back and ask all the questions that you can think of, these guys are great.
