can rent a cheap apartment somewhere else and come out way ahead. 1000 a month is easy in a lot of places (potentially less)
trailers depreciate insanely fast especially when being used full time. They need constant maintenance and towing them burns a lot of fuel.
Full time RVing can be great but its not the best way to save money. That said if you want to go this way look out for your limits.
What V8 SUV are you towing with? whats its payload? Sticker inside drivers door will tell us. I KNOW I wouldn't be able to live in my camper with all my stuff long term and have weight numbers anywhere near what any of my V8 suvs could have handled. Heck don't know I could do it with my half ton pickup.
Whatever you do, good luck.
