There are certainly people with channels that cater to camping or living out of a Jeep / Van. IAmJake for example on YouTube. [0] As evidenced by that I don't think a brand personality has to be luxury but it does have to have a point of view people can take interest in.

> living out of a Jeep Hey, that's me! 2+ years, 80,000+ miles and 35+ countries in Africa living out of my Jeep. I've just passed the half-way point and am really looking forward to the Cape to Cairo run North. http://instagram.com/theroadchoseme/ http://instagram.com/theroadchoseme/ http://theroadchoseme.com http://theroadchoseme.com

  Wow, so well documented trips! I really like how you could turn your life around and show others how this can be achieved. Definitely the most inspiring thing I started reading this year, kudos!

I've collated a few of these here: https://vanspiration.com/social/ https://vanspiration.com/social/ You're right - there are all types. Glamorous, selectively documenting lifestyle types, and others focusing on the craft of it, and others on living that way full time. And there are dozens more trying the same thing all the time, motivated by the earlier batches. I find it all a bit fascinating.

  It's not vanlife, but I've been following Christoph Rehage recently (http://thelongestway.com/ http://thelongestway.com/) He's been walking from China to Europe on and off for a few years now. He's currently walking through Iran. He has some amazing interactions on the road, it's incredible how many people stop to talk to him, or give him food (or in one case, try and rob him at gunpoint for his watch). One thing I like about his blog and journey is that he doesn't seem to be documenting a lifestyle, or push a philosophy on anyone. He just enjoys walking.
