    The long road trips would be the attraction for me. Setting up a trailer on local trailer parks in rotation doesn’t sound appealing at all.

    Anyway, I’m in Scandinavia and living in a camper isn’t a feasible way to save money here. You could probably pay the mortgage for a house for less than the camping fee.

      Oh yeah. RV sites here can be up to about 1,800 USD a month. Rent and mortgage can easily run 3 times that in the US. And then a lot of vanlife people will park along the national forest roads and only schedule nights at an RV site to change out liquids. Which drastically cuts down on “rent”.

      It’s not feasible at scale though. We really just need to fix our housing prices. Where I am some places went up 60 percent the last couple years.
