Two generations choose vanlife: remote work and independence
Original source: Business Insider

Two stories from the US highlight different reasons for switching to RV living. An American couple sold their house and boat to live full-time in a 13-meter motorhome. They spend about €1000–1300 per month on parking and over €4000 on connectivity, working remotely up to 60 hours a week. They have now purchased land in Texas to create their own base.

Jane Post, 81, lives in a small RV on her youngest daughter's property in Florida. She moved there in 2020, finding her previous home too burdensome. Post appreciates the practicality of the compact space and the ability to live near family while maintaining independence.
