Both Off Grid & Jon have it right. You have got to allow your girl some input (AND LISTEN TO HER). Guys don't get the need for a female to have a bathroom. Nor do they understand the deeply ingrained "nesting" need. All women have it. Some more than others. Women also tend to look farther into the future than men do, notably in regards to their "nest". Might have something to do with the fact that women get preggie and have to deal with the consequences. Men can just leave, damn the consequences, ring or not. See if she likes camping before you shove her into to a tiny van. Hubby & I met in a state park. Our courtship developed in various nearby campgrounds (we would tent camp all week and still go into work from the nearby County and State Park campgrounds). We've been together 35 years (we met Memorial Weekend '79). Women are told, you grow up, get married, buy a house and have babies. They are told this by family and society. It's a hard "rule" to break. Guys are not told this so much. She has to be able to accept that her mindset (even if she doesn't realize it) needs to shift to accepting a home can have wheels. Homes can be anywhere, in anything not necessarily in a non-moving building. YOU have to accept that you may need to look at travel trailers, mobile homes or a converted skoolie (having a kitchen, etc will save you money). Marriage is a partnership.
Rather than half-conceived ideas, you need to figure out just how you are going to live while traveling. Also you do not need to travel so much. We don't. We have lived in campgrounds, private property and mobile home parks (where you must have your own bathroom) for days, weeks, months. In our current location (RV Park) since Dec 2011 and we won't leave here (except for short trips all within NM) until Sept 2015 (I have a fulltime job). Unlike others on this website (and many others) we view our bus (and the Class C before it) as a residential vehicle. It is an apartment on wheels. We never pack or unpack. No matter where we go, we always have a home that we can simply park and live in without having to house hunt or apartment hunt.
Go to RV dealers and shows and just look. Take picks. Look at the Class B (RV vans). Discuss how you would live in any of them while it rains for a week. How about when you have the flu? Your own bathroom is a Godsend when you are sick. Be realistic and consider the downsides as well as the upside (you can move to anyplace in the country and still have your home). It rains, snows, freezes, and the wind will blow all designed to keep you shut up inside for days or weeks. Then you need to heat/cool the unit. What about any hobbies? Will you have enough space for those? Some hobbies can be turned into income. But can they be done in a campground/RV park (not loud ones involving noisy saws, etc)? A lot of people will leap into fulltiming (whether in a van or in a rolling mansion) only to discover that after a year (or less) they hate it. Not the traveling and seeing new places but the day in, day out close quarters.
