It's generally the trend when it comes to these kind of camper van conversions so people being curmudgeons about it doesn't come from nowhere.

I met a lot of people on the road when I lived in an RV. Very few of them were rich or had nice vans like this, most were DIY with used scrap, people trying to be travel bums and seeing how long they can go. I think your only exposure to this type of lifestyle is youtube, from the comfort of your couch.

Hence your life of sitting inside watching youtube doesn't really count as "experience".

I've lived out of a car I converted to be a decent sleeping space before I'm familiar with other people that are forced to live out of their vehicles sleeping in walmart parking lots. That's why I didn't say all camper van conversions I said these kind of camper van conversions and you agreed just said it with a disagreeing tone because you don't want to be the curmudgeon.

I can see you've converted a camper before because you're definitely camping long term in that holier than thou space.
