RV's are superior to houses. They are cheap, mobile and easier to maintain. What are your toughts?

Yep.

You want all these things for much cheaper and safer?

Rent a shitty studio apartment and pay in cash for a motorcycle or e-bike that you can fit a tent kit and camping stove into the cargo panniers/mounts for.

Much easier maintenance, much less expensive, pretty high amount of mobility.

    Best deal, E bike you could store in the apartment. Well, if you trust it not to catch fire.

    Pretty much.

    At least in the US right now, a decent but cheap motorcycle like a Royal Enfield costs around the same or even less than a lot of E Bikes... more range out of a motorcycle, higher speeds, but more fuel and maintenance costs.

    And you'd have to get insurance for the motorcycle, and get a motorcycle drivers liscense certification in most (all?) states.

    ... nothing compared to the maintenance time or costs an RV will give you though.

    ... Also if your RV is large enough, you might actually have to get a kind of special cert on your liscense for that as well, in some states, maybe?
