No one was ever doing that to be anonymous.
RVs (and trailer houses like single wides, double wides etc) are incredibly non standard when it comes to construction materials so you can’t just go down to the store when something breaks. Parking for an extended period of time will cause land to move around the wheels (or blocks if you take the more permanent step of blocking it up) so you gotta have the site you intend on using prepped first.
Another reply hit on this, but it’s worth reiterating: you will not be anonymous. Even out in the cut everyone knows everyone and the moment someone’s living in an rv theyll be “known to law enforcement” and eventually some reason will be found to run you through the system or force you to show id.
People live in trailers and rvs because they’re poor or because they can’t afford to build a house on their land or are in the process of building or renovating a house on their land. Often a person who’s so close to the bone that they gotta live in an rv to accomplish that will never actually pull it off.
It’s a really bad idea and unless you understand and accept that you’ll be destroying the quality of your life and your health you shouldn’t do it.
Here’s a better idea:
Recognize that you exist. People interact with you, there are government records of your significant life events. If you have ever voted, your information is out there for anyone with a pac-alike to see.
You’re hopefully getting paid in a way that flows through a financial institution.
That information can’t go away.
Your money is better put towards a house, and there is a first time homebuyer program intended for people like you who would otherwise slouch into the modern hobo life. Do some looking and call them up. Act like a credulous buffoon, everyone loves a clown.
