Well, actually, an RV isn't what OP needs.
One of the unfortunate things about living in the United States, at least, is that living an alternative lifestyle where you aren't hopelessly in debt paying for a house you don't need or throwing your brouzouf down a rat hole paying it to a landlord. Regardless of whether it is chosen or not, homelessness has an undue level of stigma and is legally discouraged, in fact. Especially with something like an RV that is very conspicuous and takes up a lot of space, you're going to run into problems almost anywhere you go that isn't out in the country with police harassing you for parking. Being more noticeable also is just not a good thing in general, both for avoiding the law and people looking to take your shit.
So when you're thinking of living on the road, a van is likely going to be your best option. Anyone in the thread interested in this should look up, "Stealth van living"; basically the idea is to have a van modified to be liveable, while still being a van, and thus able to pass more easily as a vehicle no one is living in.
Solar panels, as far as I'm concerned, are a must for this sort of project - especially if this is a /cyber/-centric project. If you don't have multiple monitors mounted on the walls and antennas to crack wifi networks a mile away, you're doing it wrong. Having a backup battery - something intended to be used on a boat would work well - is also a good idea.
The biggest problem is going to be water and sewage. Contrary to popular belief: Unless you're a sweaty pig, you don't really need to bathe that often. Once a week is adequate. The problem is of course finding a place to bathe once in awhile; you can to a certain extent clean yourself dryly, but you won't be able to get around needing to use external facilities eventually for water bathing, which isn't as convenient as having your own private facilities. One can use a sink in a public restroom to bathe a different section of their body each time they bathe, or perhaps find a fucking river somewhere. Sewage is a bigger issue, but there are small portable toilets made for camping/RV's that are dry and use chemicals to break down sewage. It's not ideal to keep a bucket of dissolving shit and piss in your van, but it is also possible to do this cleanly and to neutralize the smell.
Drinking water will also be an issue. Having to pay for bottled water sucks, and bottled water is one of the biggest artificial wants/needs to ever be spawned by capitalism. I don't think it is inconceivable that one could keep refillable containers filled with drinking water, but you wouldn't be guaranteed to always be able to easily find a place to fill it up, especially if you're going to be on the move.
You'll also need to figure out how you're going to store food. Fridges are bulky and heavy; not sure how much power they consume, though. It might be possible to get a small fridge to keep perishables, but you'll need to be restocking it fairly often, even if you learn to be very monkish and eat as little as possible.
So, there are definitely some major compromises to consider, but there are compromises with everything. Living in a static residence is a lot more convenient and safe than living in a van, but convenience is also the opiate of the first-world masses. We make so many concessions in our lives for the sake of convenience; at what point do we say that we have reached a point where we aren't actually living, and decide we need risk, excitement, and freedom in our lives?
That's one major advantage of this van idea, if you can find the means to sustain yourself financially: Freedom. While living in a van isn't the only potential route to attaining freedom, it is one to consider if the compromises it involves can be mitigated to an extent that you find acceptable and if you can find a way to make brouzouf. As others in the thread have said, though, making any brouzouf as a programmer is apparently not that easy.
