Why not by the plot of land and put a mobile home on it? You can seriously get one larger than any fifth wheel for a lot less. I know there is a place that sells them down the road and they have brand new single wides for less than $30,000 and they appear to be at least 60' long.

I would just buy a small fixer-upper house before I do that. Most of those $30,000 deals are rigged with frivolous financing plans and are tied into special proprietary agreements of mobile home park fees, or they add a transport delivery fee that ends up being ridiculous. A decent manufactured home actually costs quite a bit. Most "mobile homes" really are not good deals, but neither is a 5th wheel, it's just that used 5th wheels are cheaper so you don't lose as much. Do they even make mobile homes anymore, heard they only make "manufactured homes".

You can get a used 5th wheel plenty cheap and it MOVES, the key is it MOVES. A mobile home is not mobile, the cost of moving those things is pretty insane.

Some of these posts in here are funny, so presumptuous, especially with the one that my list was frivolous about what I wanted to do.

The point is to be frivolous, that's the fun in it. Yes, I am well aware of the needs of sewage, water, and electricity. I think anyone that doesn't live as a CAVE man knows those needs, you'd be surprised what you can do without however. All I really need is ELECTRIC, as far as water and sewage --- that isn't a biggie (have been camping weeks without running water or sewage). A restaurant, hotel, or some fast food place is usually semi-nearby no matter how far into nowhere-land you go for the most part. Unless you are going very deep into the backwoods, but as ONE person alone I would not take my RV very far out of cell range. Driving 20 miles to find a place to dump your trash or use the restroom is part of the fun in it.

Just eat beef jerky all day and you won't need to go # 2 for at least 2 weeks, the nearest tree is fine for the other.
