It bothers me because this behavior is an outcropping of consumerism. Author came from town/city that was not good enough. Thus author wanted more* **. And I say more b/c author continues to have many of the comforts of a residence. Other than lack of community community/roots, which is probably one reason author decided to take up a van in the first place. And no, not everyone must enjoy things the same way as me. But not recognizing the sources of ones behavior does，along w/ bringing consumerism & the city mindset to a place w/o it. *These opinions paint in broad strokes and are debatable，and have a good chance of poorly describing the OP. But this van life is a trend, some people see it on social media / blogs & proceed to replicate it, indeed messing with wilderness. **Thinking about the word more and author's post...six internet links not being enough, evidence in favor of consumerism.
