I lived in a camper van full time for 5 years. I traveled mostly around the western US. I spent 3 winters in SoCal. One in South Texas. One in south Florida.
First mistake people make:
Trying to live in the vehicle as if it is a house. It's not. That's going to have all sorts of practical problems and depress you emotionally.
The reason you probably want the RV to begin with is for freedom and a different lifestyle. Why the hell would you try to pretend it's a house and live in it as such. Crazy.
Second mistake people make:
They think they need a big RV to be comfortable. Class A and such are for family's on vacation or retired couples who sell their home and full time it. As a single guy you don't need that. Nor should you really want that.
Third ASSumption:
You need a nice vehicle to fuck chicks. All you need is a beer in that brat. Not even. Slightly lowered inhibitions and she will get super wet being Fucked in a van. I fucked plenty of chicks in my nasty camper van. When they squirt all over my cheap carpet and fixtures I don't give a fuck. Just replace the cheap foam topper every season.
The main thing you should be concerned about is fitting in a compact parking spot. Also your weight and gas mileage. If you fit in a compact spot parking is a breeze. You can blend in with their cars. You will avoid parking tickets and hassles.
The way you get extra room is to have a super high top. This allows you to stand up inside. That makes a huge fucking difference and gives you space if you use it economically.
The van is a place to sleep, store your stuff, and get from A to B. You don't hangout in it! You hangout at Starbucks. That's your living room. Your toilet is the gym or any public toilet. You carry a backpack with your toiletry kit, charger, etc.
You can park at most but not all Walmarts. Make sure to ask or look for the RVs off to the side. Sometimes it's not allowed but if you let the security car know you'll only be one night (and you're clean cut white guy on a road trip) they will accommodate you.
I can go on and on. There's lots of methods and ways to do the van thing. I stopped telling people about it. Most people just like the idea. But they'll never pull the trigger. It's to scary a change from their sedentary lifestyle.
