Camper vans, vans etc are kick arse if you've got genuine wilderness on your doorstep. Want to go Mountain biking / dirt biking / climbing / Kayaking in the great outdoors? You sort of need one. I agree about the plumbing though, much rather take a shovel and join the bears.

How far's it going to be to the nearest hotel/B&B though? I've spent plenty of time mountain biking in the great outdoors, and never begrudged half an hour's drive from the local hostelry in return for a proper bed, flush lavatories and a proper cooked breakfast.

Pass. I still don't get camper vans/mobile homes/whatever you want to call them.
If you're in a vehicle, then you might as well drive to the nearest hotel/guesthouse/B&B/AirBnB and stay there, and then drive to the place you really want to get to.
Camping, on the other hand, great. Tent, sleeping roll, sleeping bag. You can put it on a bike, you can carry it in a rucksack, stay in the middle of nowhere inaccessible by a vehicle or just stopping wherever you like. Nice.
Sleeping in a glorified van next to a bucket of excrement, on the other hand, seems to me the worst of both worlds.
