On cheaprvliving.com you can find many people doing this. Interesting but I'g go stir crazy in my trailer, a van is out of the question.
I go stir crazy in any type of indoor space :). I don't hang out in my van, even less than I do in my S&B house. I am always out doing stuff!
What's funny is how other perceive them while getting irate if someone tells them that they are homeless, not just full timers going from one boondocking area to another.
That is a pretty fine line. I have definitely seen people fulltiming in class C RVs on city streets that I would consider homeless. I guess for me the dividing line is whether you can afford other options... or expect to be able to in the reasonably near future -- I am thinking of a friend of mine who lived temporarily in his van while starting a business, and others who did so while prepping a boat for a round the world trip.
Recently I read a article about the NFS cracking down on people abusing the forest by living in them. The rule works out to if you don't have a residential address that you can't spend even a night in a NF because it is illegal to live in them. You must be living there since you have no other home and it applies to even the big rigs since they full time. So the next time a ranger ask where you live and you proudly say your shiny motor home, you may be ticketed and asked to leave.
This has always been a thing. I've encountered people who have built cabins.
