Oh my...they live in a motorhome!
I guess the proper word is Social Stigma. How many feel it? You tell someone you live in your motorhome and you get a great sense that you just became less of a person. I have no problem with it ...

OMG, I got so much of this when in California!
I think it's partly because I am an avid gardener, and was installing a large garden at a friend's place in exchange for driveway space. Apparently in Socal gardening is for poor, possibly illegal, immigrants, and not middle aged white ladies. And living in a van is for poor and/homeless people.
I kept finding myself telling people, 'I HAVE a house, it's just not here. I am a tourist.'
But try telling that to people when you are wearing grubby shorts and have dirt under your nails.
I have been 10 months in the rig so far, this stretch. If I get rid of the s&b I don't know how I will convince people.
