Me and a friend were planning on moving out into an apartment when we noticed we could get a fairly alright RV or camper for $12,000 - we could get a loan for it and pay the loan off over time (interest won't really matter), and have the ability to roam around and temporarily live somewhere while looking for a job without having to pay for housing.
Of course there's cleaning the septic tank but we can always find an RV park or something. :/
Good idea or no?
YEAH!! Why not!! Go for it!! If you guys are young and just starting out, I think it would be a great idea!! You can move where you want to, when you want to. Living on the road for a year or so is especially convenient right now due our current fragile economy (meaning… you will probably be able to get temporary jobs during your pit stops) and a great way to see the USA!!
KOA Campgrounds has RV campgrounds in every state in the country and Canada!! http://www.koa.com/
You guys can work out a cleaning schedule for the RV, which is the least of your problems.
This is a once in a life time opportunity, so take it!! If you don't, you'll always wonder "Why didn't we….?" RIGHT?…RIGHT!!! So, go get the RV tomorrow, hit the road, and send me a post card!!!…
HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!…really!!…(I'm jealous…)

well if you tust your friendy to help you and stay helping both would be good but the rv would be the best you are paying to keep it so when you get it payed off you dont have to pay for apartment or any thing els just food and stuff like that or if you are going to live in a RV park i think that cost a bit for that but i would do the Rv you can go plays to plays see the world all that good stuff well i hope i could help GOOD LUCK

I don't know which would be easier, but I'll tell you which would be better - definitely the camper van. Although, if you are going to travelling around alot, be sure to factor in the petrol you'll use, cos that would add up to quite a bit as well.
What I'd do - get the camper, spend a year or so kind of bumming around, seeing things, working a bit, then (maybe) come back, sell up, get a place and a proper job. Unless I enjoyed it so much, I may just stay homeless forever.
