    As someone who lived full time in a fifth wheel voluntarily with my family, living mobile in a tiny home, RV, or camper van can be pretty awesome. However, many of these people aren’t doing it by choice and that should never be the case.

        I did it for a few weeks when I was in college, waiting for my first cheque from my p/t job … in a '69 VW Beetle, in a cold Canadian winter.

        It sucked.

      Having a tiny camper that isn’t going to break, a decent supply of food and money, and a YouTube channel all about your “Van Life” is a lot different than sleeping in the back of your car because you have no way to escape America.
