Its just a different mindset, no different than living on a sail boat but a bit more convenient.
For myself, the camper van is just a place to sleep, cook, stash my stuff and hang out when I don't feel like doing anything.
I don't park it at some RV lot and toss a few lawn chairs out and sit there all day. I'm always out doing stuff.
When you have a house, the house just sucks you in. Pretty much your entire life revolves around your house. You go to work then rush to get home to sit inside a room in your house, watching TV or browsing the internet. Maybe you go out to hit a bar or eat dinner but then it's right back to the house.
For myself I can just go wherever and I'm not worried about running back to a house. If I'm in CO and decide I want to go see thee Devils Tower in WY or the Black Hills in SD, I just go.. I don't have to plan it or worry about where I will stay or pack up stuff. I just go.
It's a whole different level of freedom than what living a house let's you have.
The Devils Tower is awesome btw, one of my favorite places to see. There is nothing like it anywhere else in the world.
