Im old school, when away in van everything else is forgot about, im on holiday.
Very "fortunate" there then, we are 24 years into retirement and so our "holidays" are now nearly a quarter of a century back memories.
Now its "living", fortunately something we can do at different places from home but bringing the massive benefit of culturing friendships, both old and new. Living with all that brings, shopping, cooking, unwinding, doing the "chores" paperwork or more physical, replicating our life in our house. Long past is being on the tourist treadmill, we will leave that for others.
Taking too prescriptive a view of what caravanning & motorhoming should involve, misses much that others find the positives.
