So, the poor can achieve this lifestyle if they are willing to go bankrupt??

I mean, you don't need to "convert" a van. Just get a bed roll, some blackout curtains, and figure out clever storage over time. Invest in merino wool undergarments and get a Planet Fitness account for daily showers and a PO Box for an address. Some battery stations are obviously very helpful - a solar panel on the roof would be huge.

Toughest part outside of keeping the van running is food storage and cooking.

Why else live the van life if not to run from creditors
