I've had people tell me that they are slaves to predictability and can't understand how I could stay in the camper for length of time. (Really, it's just an apartment on wheels.)
I've had people tell me that they like the idea of having 1 spot. (Really, I like to roam.)
I had an uncle tell me I was crazy for wanting this and that he'd prefer a cabin on the lake. (Really, I can take my "cabin" to the lake or the ocean or the mountains or near the city.)

Now we spend 50+ nights per year in our camper.
