    I found an old 4 room house on 1/2 acre in West Tennessee. Paved roads, electric, well and septic tank. 10 miles to town one way, 12 miles to town the other way and 15 miles to Jackson. Low cost of living. Nice garden spot and good neighbors. I've been full time for 6 years now.

    School bus conversion here, have based our land search out of KY, and are now buying land in TN. Your setup is similar to what I'm hoping to accomplish- two or three RV pads with full hookup, a workshop for maintenance/storage, and an address. General base to return to.

    An alternative to raw land with no utilities?
    I found single wide trailers on an acre or more in economically depressed areas around the country for as low as 18K. The trailers needed repairs, but they had working utilities. The price of these homes seemed to be less than adding utilities to raw land.
    Couldn't a place like that serve as a home base? Put a garage up to park the RV. If the home is unlivable, live in the RV in the garage during times you come off the road. Maybe fix up the single wide trailer to serve as a clubhouse or fix it up and rent it out.
    It might serve as a place to get off the road periodically. A home on property is also easier to get a loan on if you can not pay cash.
    Anyway, it's just an idea that might or might work. Haven't tried it, so it might not.

      Missouri has quite a few. Look for single or double wide trailers on 3-5 acres in the land search engines and set the price parameters low.
      For raw land, Nevada seems like the best price, but that land is incredibly raw, as in nothing but flat scrub land.

    Beautiful place!
    If they ran natural gas to your place, I humbly suggest connecting your place to it. You can't beat the price of the clean dependable energy. I live in the northeast and the natural gas has been a huge blessing. The ones that don't have access to NG end up paying dearly for fuel oil or propane and during long cold snaps, propane is not always dependable, or at least it has not been in the past.
    Safe Travels!

Ocean view, friendly people, amazing weather, quality medical care, and amazing food. And, best of all, as opposed to much of the US, living in an RV on your land is allowed. It's amazing to me what you CAN'T do with land you own in the US.

      That can be hard depending on where in Texas you are looking. Central Texas has a lot of deed restrictions, although why somebody feels like they need to control property they don’t own any more is beyond me. Get a good realtor that works with land buys. They can really help save you time.

We have looked at buying land for a home base but it would eat up our savings and we don't want to spend our invested money just yet so it can fund our traveling.

      I agree 100% the right land is great investment. First purchase15 acres great for hunting,but not a homebase, second purchase 1 acre waterfront and woods great for fishing and hunting,but someone bought a house right next to us. Both properties were great investment as well as fun for the kind of outdoor activities we enjoy. Now this third property we did a lot more homework from experience. 5 areas with water and sewage and RV /mobile home set up.
