Homeless migration to RVs creating problems
There seems to be a trend for the homeless to get an old RV and live on the streets. County officials admit their hands are are tied as they do not have proper laws in place to deal with the problem....

I never claimed any reason for my homelessness other than my drinking. For years, running OTR, I would run hard for weeks without drinking, then take a few days off for a bender when I got home. I was spending more time in motels around the country than in my rented house. I gave up the house just to save the rent. (Does the O/O of a road tractor qualify as homeless any more than a full time RVer?) But the issue I did not foresee was instead of drinking only in home town, I started telling dispatch "When I get this load off I'm going to take a day off." Within a year somebody made a offer on my truck, and I had drinking money for a long time.
It was years latter that I had the problems caused by the bank. And like I have said before, there was enough outlaw left in me for me to get my money back from the guy that defrauded me, but the bank fees, other charges and damage to my name, not so much. Example, before if one of my drivers picked up a nail, pull into one of 4 tire shops, get it fixed, shop owner knew I would stop by with a check. After I had to beg the driver to carry money to fix the tire, because the check might not be good.
