IIRC, there are few places in the US where it's legal to just plop an RV on an undeveloped lot and live in it all year. I.e. you need a proper well and septic at the least (these are expensive). Many counties also have laws specifically to prevent people from doing this (I.e. only allowing camping on your land 14 days in a 30 day period). Many people break these laws, but they do exist.
It can be cheaper, but only if you give up a lot of conveniences. I.e. you can boondock on BLM if you move every 2 weeks. Would want solar, a large battery bank, and probably a backup generator. Will want to always be conserving power, fuel, and water. If you want to camp with hookups all the time, it would be more expensive than an affordable apartment.
