There's an element of anarchy involved in all this. One need not be anchored to a mortgage and a house filled with things when you have a mobile home and the ability to come and go as you please.

With internet, cell phones, flat screens and laptops, this kind of existence is no longer cut off and can have a reasonable entertainment and connectedness factor. A guy I knew in college quit the fraternity lived in Volkswagen van and actually liked it, but stayed a member and dropped around for showers and laundry. There were no media devices in those days except land lines.
