Okay so you're doing the vanlife. That's cool and way easier to do then rv living. You do YouTube? I follow several vanlifers on YouTube.
Yes, van life is way easier than RV life. RV people need to be wealthy to pay for parking at campgrounds every night, and those who can't do it are the ones living in desperation constantly getting in trouble with the law because it's illegal to park those anywhere. Or they hop from one BLM site to another every two weeks.
As for VanLife YouTubers? Those people love being on camera, and the camera loves them. Good for them. I have a real job.
Some of them do too. Only one I follow who job is vanlife is Trent the Traveler and freaking awesome! The rest are just normal people working regular jobs like yourself. If I didn't have my kids and home I definitely try vanlife. Might still do it, but it will be like Trent I will use ir to travel around the country.
