Travel is increasingly expensive. Eating out, RV parks, campgrounds, etc - it's all more expensive than even just a few years ago. Boondocking and cooking in your vehicle can be very cheap, leaving fuel as a considerable cost if you are regularly moving any sort of distance.
Recently, we took a 2-3 month trip in our 25' vehicle and at some points we were averaging $100-150/day on fuel (10 mpg, $6/gallon). I'd love to see the price of electric van/bus chassis come down.
For more and more people, this is their way of life rather than just a little annual trip. Not everyone is going to buy a new RV, but a reasonable number are looking at financing a van for conversion rather than slave over a DIY project with limited skills.
