Wait a minute!! Too Many options!!
You need to sit and relax - get out the paper and pencil (OK - for you it may be a spreadsheet) and look at the possibilities, options and likely costs.
Start with your current monthly expenses and see where you can go with that. Purchase of a full-time livable trailer is the first hurdle. And then of course, you need to get it to a place where you can 'live' (hauling costs are not cheap). You also need to review the 'parks' where you can live that are suitable for you. (The Camping World Guide is a good place to start. Daily rates, weekly rates and monthly rates vary greatly!!) And also consider services, added desirable facilities, the cost of water, electric and any other added costs! (Oh, you want to have a friend to visit? - that will be an added $xx per day to cover the toilets, swim pool and other amenities in the park!) Then there is your commute to work and your animal friends to consider.
Yes, I think you could save a little and improve your living situation - but it will take a lot of research, review and on-site inspections to find the place you will love. It can be done - do it!!
