California High Desert........Palmdale/Lancaster area
2.5 acres/$4k...that is nothing but dirt. No utilities, no water, no sewer/septic no phone......nothing
And then zoning..........no living in an RV. Mobile homes/manufactured homes OK but no RVs
RV Parks.......
NO you will not be able to put up fencing/yard area for your dog.
Your dog (pets) will have to be on a 6' leash, can not be tied out unattended and RV sites are not very large. You will be close to neighbors etc.
You CAN get into an RV park for long term where you pay monthly site rent PLUS electric (water and septic included in monthly site fee)
Cheaper than $1200/month studio cost (with utilities) BUT you don't have an RV or tow vehicle so by the time you buy trailer that is livable and a tow vehicle that is adequate to tow trailer...........$$$$
The better/safer areas in will cost more. (There are NONE in Palmdale/Lancaster)
Example:
The Californian RV in Acton (Between Santa Clarita and Palmdale Hwy 14) $725/month plus electric
Spaceport RV in Mohave....$185/month plus electric
I lived in High Desert for 15 yrs.
Living in an RV can be cheaper.......IF you already own the RV and Tow vehicle
But not having either makes it tougher plus registrations/insurances and the fact that an RV has maintenance costs plus it depreciates.
RV living is GREAT.......not usually less expensive. Just a different way of life.
