RE: If You Only See Yourself
The camper van idea is actually really interesting to me because you can actually live in it. I love watching those videos on social media, but of course they usually only show the good bits. No one ever mentions the reality of clearing out the toilet. That's definitely not a flush and done thing.
I think there are plenty of videos showing how to clean the toilet and how to shower, whether or not in those super-small campervans. Those are the kinds of things you'll probably find if you search for 'tiny homes'. I enjoy watching them too. When it comes down to it, you can be happy with very little. I did see a woman who had literally turned a caddy into a kind of camper van, which means she lies down in the back, puts the mattress down, puts a cupboard around it, and that would be a bit too small for me. I don't think she had a toilet either, or maybe something that could serve as one in an emergency. I don't necessarily need a shower room or a bathtub, because there are plenty of campervan sites that have those, so you can just go there, but I do want to be able to wash myself, and a solution for doing laundry would also be nice. Perhaps that can also be found at campervan sites. There aren't many laundrettes around here anymore. There are also those who share their troubles, such as how they get through the winter or how they deal with moisture and condensation, or the problem of being placed somewhere to stand while others seem to stand in the same place for ages and only start the thing when they go shopping. There are also plenty who always have the internet with them and just use a solar panel, which powers everything, including the fridge. The ways in which they cook are also very interesting.
To me these are cosy homes.

I think a lot of it depends on where you are in the world. I don’t think Malaysia has the facilities for this. Like the dedicated sites, public showers, or even the basic safety required.
I recently watched a Japanese drama where a man had a full fridge and cooking space in his van, even hosting guests! Though, his wife kicked him out because he spent their savings to buy it.

I also think you should always take precautions to keep yourself safe. You need to adapt your motorhome accordingly. Perhaps a good guard dog is also important, and not just a small lap dog that only bites. A cell defence weapon or course is also no luxury. In addition, you will have to consider where you are going to park, because not everywhere is equally safe. A security camera is also a good idea. It is a strange habit of the Japanese to run off with all their savings. Unless they are married under a prenuptial agreement. I know a Dutch couple who sold their house because she wanted to buy a castle in France to renovate. She did that and he bought a houseboat. Both are happy and yes, still married.

True, safety is the priority when it comes to motorhomes.
In the drama, middle-aged man was sleeping in his car, not a motorhome, and he had to quickly turn off his lights when a group of youngsters drove into the lot to party. He was afraid of attracting their attention and causing a disturbance.
