Except maybe a (female) van partner that surfs, mountain bikes, swims topless, wears yoga pants etc?

Been there done that, followed the wind and the surf......What have I learnt from it?..........Old Kombis are bloody unreliable! AND If your girlfriend can repeatedly help you push start a dead Kombi without a sense of humour failure, you have a keeper! Got married and lived happily (this far) ever after.

I know a retired couple who decided to permanently live in their caravan. Basically, they migrate back and forth between the Garden Route and Kruger every year. In the off season at they live at the coast when camping fees are low. During high season at the coast when it is expensive they move inland to places like the Drakensberg or Mpumelanga. They have a really well set up camp with literally all the mod cons and they know the camp sites well enough the pick the good spots. They also say that it cost them less than to run a house. They form part of a small community doing the same thing and regularly see the same group as they move from place to place. They stay for between 1 and 3 months in a single spot. What will happen when they get to frail for it, I don't know.

We have people at our place who lives in a 4x4 camping trailer or some in a caravan for 10 months of the year.
