I stand corrected...my wild guesses at numbers were super far off, although I am curious about the cabin and lot you can buy for $100K. If that's true, I'd seriously look into it. I just figured you'd start at $250K for a little hovel somewhere.
Just doing a quick look I found this lot for $60K

I have been pricing out building a cabin; and I have my materials cost around $30K. So factor in another $10K for incidentals and you are around that $100K mark 90 minutes from Calgary.

The other thing to keep in mind; many recreational lots are not on MLS. The property I own in Manitoba (which is why I was pricing out a cabin) was found by my brother in law. It was right beside his property; there was a for sale sign in amungst the weeds.

Mazder- you may want to contact the organizers of the RV show 2 weeks ago and ask for a list of exhibitors. Their website is http://www.rvda-alberta.org/rvshow.asp?location=Calgary

Might also be worth going to the Boat & Sportsman show that is coming up; there might be some crossover between the two similar ideas.
