As others have stated, this is not something everyone gets. What i was wondering is what is the plan for her future? Even at say 20k a year in expenses, she will run out sooner rather than later. It did touch on that by saying she may sell the truck soon and move on, but maybe do another year first. That is good because my next concern was how long you expect a vehicle that’s heavily driven every week to last before it becomes a liability or an unexpected big expense to repair. Get out before those days start. I wonder what she did with all the money. She could have made some decent returns on it if she played it right. She talked about buying a place to rent, which honestly she probably should have done first. Anything to offset losing the savings should be priority #1, which could mean doing this for much longer with less worries.
I follow a couple of nomad YouTube channels. My favorite being Trent the Traveler. Guy been living out of a van for 6 years. There no reason they can’t continue that life style. If have a remote job it’s even better. Makes me want to take the plunge. Of course I will do it in an rv. I want access to showers and a toilet.
Depending on the van, you can have a shower and a compositing toilet. I rented a Sprinter van in California that had both and a super small oven - worked remotely for two weeks and drove to several national parks before I returned to Missouri and the real world.
Should check out Trent the Traveler on YouTube, he has a nice sprinter van that has a pretty great layout. It’s basically a mobile gaming van. But he has a nice stove and oven as well.

Should check out this gaming/camper van being built. Only thing wish it had is a shower.

That is actually a pretty big stove for a van! I was expecting like 1 heat plate.

IIRC, it was a two burner and the oven was just big enough for a small frozen pizza or a tray of breakfast and bake cookies.
