A growing number of retirees are selling their homes to live full-time in camper vans or motorhomes. Industry analyses indicate that people over 55 make up a significant share of users of such vehicles. Examples include US couple Ray and Nancy and a British retiree who sold his home for a solar-panel-equipped camper van. In France, many retirees buy camper vans to supplement rather than replace their homes. Giving up property cuts taxes and maintenance costs but adds fuel, insurance and upkeep expenses. Key challenges include healthcare access, mail handling and parking.
