I'm not trying to argue whether or not an RV or a cheap house is going to be less expensive, a question I am not interested in. It's in disputing the assertion that you can't afford a home and transportation for less than $25k and the idea that your only choice is an expensive inner city apartment, a mcmansion, or a van.

My mistake. I thought you were answering bronco21016's question of "Where else can you get a home/transportation combo for that price?"
