My cousin sold a house he had been doing up at the beginning of this year. he bought a camper van and him and his missus are travelling around Europe following the sun. They have been on the road 6 months now. They live on 450E a month and at that rate they can keep going for as long as they want. He has worked out the Spanish writing on drain covers so he knows what drains he can empty his waste into. He has made an attachment to fit onto the shower heads on the beach for fresh water (although they say not drinking water, it comes out of the same pipe as the drinking water fountain next to it!!). They have solar panels so are completely self contained.
you just have to be a bit creative.
Their camper is of course a lot more economical than a unimog, and costs depend on how many miles you cover in a month and how long you stay in one place, but they are in Europe. Get into Eastern Europe, Africa or India and fuel is dirt cheap.
Go further afield where the cost of living is less and yes, you could easily live on 500E a month
You would need to keep a contingency though for unexpected expenses and mechanical problems.
Personally I wouldn't take a mog, I would convert an old Mercedes truck. When it's your home and your life depends on it you won't be doing the sort of offroading a mog can do and a truck can take huge fuel tanks so you can fill up where it's cheap. A good sized truck tank will easily give you a range of over 1000miles.
