It might not just be rising housing costs that are pushing Canadians into a mobile lifestyle

On its website, the Canadian RV Association says its June 2021 survey of manufacturers shows a 25.3 per cent increase in RV shipments; 50,706 compared to 40,462 in June 2020.

“I believe an RV vacation is 60 per cent cheaper than a normal vacation because you’re saving money on food and accommodation,” Vandermeij said. However, it can get costly if people decide to head to a federal or provincial park.Article content“But there are also private parks that are very, very affordable,” he added.

“All of the water system and the electrical system is inside the body of the van, which is not the case with a normal RV,” Vandermeij added.Madison McNair and husband, Raynor Vickers, started van living two years before the pandemic. “Those can travel to senior nursing homes, and do all the ear tests rather than moving the seniors out of the nursing home to a clinic and back,” she said.“It might be for mountain biking, it might just be a place to have the fridge and microwave and bed and their bicycle,” McNair added.Article content

Can you imagine what it would be like in there if someone got into the baked beans or had a case of irritable bowel syndrome? Yeah, if you drop the chalupa everyone is going to enjoy the effects.

Not at todays gas prices.

normalizing poverty

It's called camping.

Hey 20 somethings, there’s a cool new trend in town called living in a cardboard box and begging for government assistance!

Weird way to say 'homelessness' is booming in Canada

And so is inflation, staggering inequality, and endless wars. Why don't you try to connect these issues to the meager ways ppl are struggling to get by?

It's called being homeless. Chris Farley had a whole bit about it on SNL.
