Or town. Or continent. Of course this is probably in the realm of "rent" of $4000+ a month (not in NYC, in Ferguson), and not a very frugal option at all. And it's peculiarly transient no matter how long you stay in the same place; I might start to miss having roots. Still, sigh ...
More realistically, and I haven't read the whole thread so probably someone has already said this, driving an RV is super expensive and it's fiddly, always something else to do. But living in one that stays parked in one place definitely isn't, and has the perks of being moveable if you want to move, being small and contained, and giving you the option of living "in nature" without being over-run by it. An RV is the most inappropriate car in the world, but it's not an unreasonable house.
