Hi Pippi,
I have traveled in Nuclear Construction for many years. Some has been in RVs, some apartments and so on but I have researched this very topic in depth. What I have found is what you are learning. Much of this just depends on the state, and county. I can give a few tips however. Southern states tend to be less expensive and have fewer restrictions set by counties. Southern states can also have a lower cost of living. But sometimes harder to find work usually go hand in hand. The more rural you go the less restrictions but you have to find that delicate line of not going to far because if you get too far you will be looking at digging your on well, no internet, and possibly no electricity. Some states as a whole are just expensive and set too many restrictions. I would stay clear of California, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Montana….if they have high tourist cities you can bet land is high. I have found that North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama are great RV friendly states. Some of the older towns that never developed into a modern booming city with fancy subdivisions are great places to find the land. You really want a piece of land that is already tied into city water so you can just tie in and have them install a meter, usually all for less than a thousand. It would be great to find one with septic installed as well. They are out there! But I will add this, If you are dead set on a piece of property, it may have a restriction stating something like- the RV can be there for 180 days. You can always push is to the limit, there are not county employees driving around counting the days you are there. As someone said above, its always neighbors that report you. But you can always fights it and say the RV did leave for a few days and you brought it back. I purchased a piece of land that is in a touristy area in the Colorado mountains. I am restoring and old 1956 Spartan that I will be parking there but because I love the area so much, I have decided to take my chances. Realtors can save you some time, let them hunt while you do your own hunting. If they are from the area they already know where to begin to look. And just FYI Texas is a great place to start this journey!! I grew up in SW Louisiana and have spent lots of time there. I don’t think you need to go to the extreme and go too far into west Texas.
