The example they give, IMO is living "high off the hog" at 51k a year.
Like you we plan to not eat out much (see our picnic table posts Cheesy ) and do a lot of boondocking (main reason for a motorhome rather than a fifth wheel) and like you work at various short term low level jobs and some workkamping. I am really happy to get away from a professional career where the job owns me and I am enjoying lower paying but interesting odd jobs which I can feel free to walk away from at any time.

Moterhomes usually come with the stuff (generator, inverter, etc.) you need to boondock comfortably. You have to add them to most 5th wheels. We have a 5th wheel and do a lot of boondocking. BUT, my husband installed the inverter and other items. We have a portable generator, rather than a built-in one. You also need good sized fresh water and holding tanks, which many 5ers don't have. I don't think the length of the rig matters much.
