That's good of you, but it did make me laugh. My parents sold their house about ten years back and switched to living full time in a TINY RV while traveling around volunteering. The reason for the small size was that they wanted to be able to take it anywhere that a car could normally go. So you might say that I DID see my mom and pop live in the back of a car for many years. Interestingly, that RV, despite the tiny size, cost more than my house.
