I had sort of a epiphany this evening too; I have lived in RVs a fair chunk of my life, but due to needing to stay close to doctors I haven't done much outside of mini vacations traveling in years. So I'm just going to accept it, I'm not a van dweller, I'm just a cheap bugger that needs to stay in place and doesn't get understood by normals due to living in an RV. But I also need to stop envying the dwellers that get to travel freely as their is probably a reason I bought a piece of land in the first place. So I'm more of an RV homesteader, sort of a tiny house guy. But tiny houses, try as you may don't always fit in legally, but there isn't much they can do when you live in an RV on private land outside a city limit. So that's me. (Sort of got that off my back, whew)

Normals?
Compared to parenting, Cat herding is less complicated

Joke about people who live that 9-5 life, regular house picket fence. They can't imagine how to live in anything else. I'm definitely not normal...

Posers.
There is no normal except for towns in Alabama, Illinois, and Indiana. Normal station in Memphis. Abby Normal.
As for people being normal???
People are strange~~~ The more they claim to be normal, the bigger the lie they are telling.

It's partly a glass half full thing. I'd rather call them normal and people I like extraordinary where some people think I'm suggesting abnormal as the alternative. But Young Frankenstein had it right with the abby normal.

 Do ya feel all better now? It sounds like a good combination of lifestyles to me.
RV = Less expensive to replace......easier and more cost effective to maintain and redecorate. And it's yours and on your property too. WITH NO RESTRICTIONS?
YOU GET TO BE THE KING OF YOUR CASTLE AND MASTER OF ALL YOU SURVEY.....A GOOD THING,YES?
Homesteader = room to roam and experiment and build things on your own place. Grow food, pickle stuff, chill out, campfires/marshmallows, homebrew  or not? It's your place and the camp host won't bug you.
The main reason I haven't bought another home in SD is I can't shovel snow like I use to. There's one there I really want that needs some work and I'm no longer able to even help with the repairs. It has a canning kitchen, wild rhubarb bed, sits on a acre with 2 car garage/work shop. I can even afford it...I could be a snowbird! I need to stop now....I've sadden myself with wanting. Well Crap 
I just checked the weather in Hurley SD. It's only getting down to 24 tonite. I went outside one night up there and it was -51, I didn't stay long 
I have a HUGE collection of TMEN starting with Issue #1. For many years after they started the Plans for the Projects were actually in each issue. Now if I could weld I have the plans for a woodstove made from a hot waterheater tank. Then there's plans for a simple passive solar heater that I might could build and I can't saw a straight line and would probably need a nail gun to hammer in a nail. Also a ownerbuilt live on houseboat and years and years of others. My TMENs have more miles on them than some folks pickup trucks.

Agreed I get to be king of my castle, have a less aggravating camp host etc. But have to accept the dream of bebopping around the states as more of a vacation than a lifestyle. Also might mean that those womem I talked to don't want me as I'm a homebody. I hope I'm wrong. A friend, lover would be the cherry on top of my life. You know who you are. Call me 2083906089
