It's both of course. The pendulum will swing both ways given enough time. However, there is one aspect that seems to work in favor of people living the mobile lifestyle: employers. Some employers must have mobile people that are able to live in their various rigs while they work for days, weeks, or months at a time. Amazon is a big one. They don't have the workforce they need for the Christmas season, so they created CamperForce which has been a resounding success for them. The sugar beet harvest is another. There physically isn't enough people in those remote areas to work the harvest, so people like us go there and that also has been a big success. National Parks also need seasonal employees as there often isn't physically enough people in the immediate area to work the jobs. There are an amazing amount of jobs that cater to us. Christmas tree sales, 4th of July, pumpkins sales on Halloween, and security for construction sites are lesser examples.
Many of the place offer wages that don't support owing a house and owning another home that happens to mobile. I'm not complaining about the wages, just pointing out that there are often financial limitations that prevent owning two homes in order to maintain a physical residence in order to comply with the law.
I sincerely doubt there are enough retired people with expensive RVs, a healthy retirement income, a house , and are also young enough to do many of these jobs. Many retirees aren't willing or able to do the work. Nothing wrong with that. If I were 65, had a nice retirement income, and all the other stuff, you wouldn't catch me working the beet harvest or Amazon no matter how healthy I was. Maybe camp host.
Should the rules for establishing a physical residence get so strict that it would severely legally prevent us from living like we do, and therefore, would severely hamper places like Amazon and the sugar beet harvest from having the workforce they need to function, would those companies fight back to protect our way of life for their selfish reasons? (Wow, talk about a run-on sentence.) How much pressure from employers would there be to promote positive legislation that would help them keep their quality, mobile workforce? It would be nice not to continually discuss work-arounds just to be able to continue to be a positive part of society and be part of a much needed mobile work force.
You would think that working for a living and not hurting anyone while be mobile would always be something to flaunt and be proud of, but that isn't always the case.
