I haven't given vanlife a shot before but I've certainly considered since I like mountain biking. toyota sienna is probably the underrated pick. otherwise a promaster seems like it'd be fine. I'd just go to a bunch of mountain bike trail systems haha.

No. I have zero desire to live like a homeless person who has to struggle to locate essential daily amenities.
The want for people with stable living and work to live like this is 100% manufactured through social media vanlife brainrot.

I've seen lots of camper vans in south of Sweden in the summers. Parking lots around sights even have separate parking spaces for camper vans and regular cars.

People who do apparently find it liberating. While I can understand that, personally, I preferred having a hotel room with a proper bathroom, even before the ostomy.

I do have a fantasy of a energy self-sufficient cabin in the Rockies filled with all sorts of comfort tech amenities. Far away from other people, but close enough to a town and hospital I can still do shopping and not die alone.

Don't want to live in it, but I have had 2 Honda Odysseys that served me dependably and comfortably for many years and for well over 200K miles each.
