I know this is an old post but I really want to respond. I have the same idea, I am moving into an RV to save money for a piece of land and a small house. At first I thought land would probable be about $5000 to $10,000. boy was I niave. Most land next to cities, that have electrical, water, and sewer, is so freaking expensive. <br><br>then I found a guy on Youtube who built his house for $2000 and bought his land for around $500. His advice is to buy land that isn't hooked up in anyway and is near a smaller town. And then do solar, rainwater systems, and composting toilet. I kind of like all those ideas so I am thinking about that for a bit down the road. I wrote a blog post about him, you can read it at <a href="http://www.tinyhouseshankerings.com/simple-solar-homesteading/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tinyhouseshankerings.com/simple-solar-homesteading/</a><br><br>he also has an ebook that you can buy that will teach you how to do what he has done. i haven't bought the book yet but plan to in the future. he says there's lots of cheap land everywhere if you're willing to forego the ulitiy hookups.
