Most of the van life you see depicted on social media is actually this though - people who've rented a van short-term for as much as a hotel room or who live in a house and have a van that costs as much as a second home as an accessory for weekend trips.

People who actually live in vans are far less common than people who take photos of themselves in vans.

I suspect it's more that the intersection between "people who live in vans" and "people who take pictures of themselves in vans" is rather small.
