Oh for sure (although this isn’t just a ‘first time we discuss it’ response, it happens multiple times with people we’re fairly close with, people who we’ve talked to about it throughout over a year and a half of planning). Most of the people who don’t have that reaction know at least one person who has already done it, so they have a reference point. Many who do have no reference point other than Christmas Vacation or that Robin Williams RVing movie.
And for a lot of people it would be terrible! No arguments there, there are definitely tradeoffs. I find having to maintain a yard and clean rooms I don’t use terrible. For me, I’m a homebody who loves to travel, so now my home is always with me, as are my pets. And in the past six months, I’ve checked 5 more national parks off my list, visited friends I haven’t seen in years, and spent more time with my parents than I have in the past decade, while only taking off a couple of days of work. On any given week I might wake up overlooking a river, or surrounded by palm trees, or high up in the mountains, or surrounded by farm animals, or fifteen minutes outside a city.
