I AM NOT HOMELESS!
I had a fantastic conversation with the rep of the local homeless several months back.

1) Presentation: personal presentation and presentation of your rig.
2) Planning: that plan may be to travel the country or just the region, or to join a caravan, or to save funds for something else. There are goals and intent.
3) Possessions of purpose: a huge symptom of homelessness is gathering whatever can be gathered despite it's usefulness. Non traditional living has the mindset of less is more, what I possess has a job or 3 jobs and is both used frequently and accessible in a organized manor to the user at least.
4) Personal Perception: do you consider your self a homeless person or a van lifer, nomad, car camper or some other great definition? How you see yourself has a huge impact on how or even IF you move forward.
