Is an RV a good option as cheap, stationary housing?
An RV is usually not the cheapest housing option. Even with an inexpensive unit, the costs of the RV, site rent, electricity, and propane will be at or very near the rent of a small apartment. In addition, an RV will require more time and money to maintain than an apartment, eating into your savings. We have met individuals who live very frugally in small RV’s, but these are the exceptions—the lifestyle changes required to make this a reality would be considered too harsh by most.
