Exactly. This is a rational approach to losing a house. Hell, even a tent in a campground is fairly rational. Most true homeless people on the streets have mental health issues. Poor people are not as stupid as others would like to believe, be it media or the rich, and if they're not mentally ill they can find solutions such as this. I drive past a Wallyworld every day out in the sticks and I've noticed 3 RVs that appear to be there every day.
Domestic Violence: Battered women who live in poverty are often forced to choose between abusive relationships and homelessness. In a study of 777 homeless parents (the majority of whom were mothers) in ten U.S. cities, 22% said they had left their last place of residence because of domestic violence (Homes for the Homeless, 1998). In addition, 50% of the cities surveyed by the U.S. Conference of Mayors identified domestic violence as a primary cause of homelessness (U.S. Conference of Mayors, 2005). Studying the entire country, though, reveals that the problem is even more serious. Nationally, approximately half of all women and children experiencing homelessness are fleeing domestic violence (Zorza, 1991; National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 2001).

I can pick up a big fiberglass RV with 50,000 miles for under $4,000 right now. Nice inside and everything works.
