Valerie, welcome to the forums! I am hoping the moderator moves this over to the Truck Camper forum -- this is the trailer group. First, have you checked Craigslist? There are some great bargains to be had. If you are not experienced, be sure to have someone knowledgeable check your camper thoroughly before you buy it.
It is possible to live off-grid most of the time out west, but it is not easy, especially if you are not yet an expert in boondocking (which is what we call it -- the rangers call it dispersed camping). There is a separate boondocking forum here, which focuses on tips and tricks.
One more question: are you "handy" with tools and repairs? If not, this may not be a great fit for you -- all RVs involve a fair amount of routine maintenance, more than an ordinary house does. (That's mostly because the camper is subjected to a violent earthquake every day -- the road!)
Hang in there, good luck, and ask lots of questions!
