A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You can probably get an old delivery van, fix it up, tune it, and modify it to be a GREAT rolling residence for like a fifth of that.
Absolutely. In 2020 (early days of the lockdown) I picked up a "new old stock" 2019 4x4 Sprinter Passenger van for $46k. I spent $5k Minimally converting it, and it has been my travel vehicle ever since (my wife and I do not fly).
The point of my response was that assuming that someone choosing to live in a van is because they can't afford a house (as the previous comment implied) is incorrect. There are a tone of those Revel vans out there. Some people are choosing to live the van life because they want to, not because they have to.
