Am not sure I agree with you.
Do you feel the same about boat owners?
Have fancied the outdoor life, the idea being able to work anywhere and travel to where I want.
Also those things can't really off road, not without your camping stuff being broken while driving. Or having to tidy up.Hence with the idea of converting military vehicles. The idea of diff locks and central inflation and deflation. So you can go anywhere and then get level to sleep. Sleeping at odd angles is disconcerting.
Then the bigger problem is that in many places, you can't just stop and camp. You have to go to designated camping areas and they are few and far between.
Tho feel that the idea of having the money to buy something like that I would be so out of touch ;)
Have converted buses to live in and wanted to buy hgv trailers with hydraulic sides so can have a living area as large as a central London pied a terre and separate trailers as a garage vehicle store and workshop.

I just don’t think anyone should be spewing around in a 15 ton sub-10mpg 6-litre diesel truck for no real reason other than “it looks sick”.
I’ve got nothing against van/boat life, but most of these overland vehicles are just expensive, obnoxious toys for rich people to have image-conscious holidays in, a caravan with a Vibram sole and an egregious emissions/resource footprint.

Ultimate cuntmobiles.
That red one with the self-proclaimed “Me: aDvEnTuReR” vinyl next to the driver is particularly egregious. So you’ve driven through some dirt tracks in your 5.9-litre diesel monstrosity… what do you want now, a blue peter badge? You tone-deaf self-aggrandising cretin.
