Would You PAY To Stay Overnight In One Of THESE? #VanLife

If you haven't noticed, we've been pretty keen on the whole van life trend that's been sweeping the nation. What can we say? People just love these things.

But we're not just talking about driving these vintage vans around. Folks are actually paying to stay in these unique vans.

Need further proof?

Just scope out this AirBnB post featuring a vintage Dodge Camper Van. For $94/night, you too could enjoy the natural, Grand Canyon area unlike, well, anything else we've seen. See an excerpt for the listing, below.

That said, I've been wondering: Would you PAY to stay overnight in one of THESE? Let us know in the comments, Spies!

Would I do it - NO

But After having spent much of my life as a camper - generally in TENTS - AND having seen some of the people who camp - yes - I could see a market for that.
Normally - campers prefer their own vehicle over a rented on - but people rent Motor Homes all the time. For me - when I am on a camping trip - if I am going to spend money for inside accomodations- I am looking for more amenities than these offer - like a real shower and toilet.

This is just a "Portland hispster" trend no doubt promoted by Sunset Magazine.

Vans are fun, but I'd have to hang a sign out for my friend Truthy that reads "If this van's a rockin', don't come a knockin'"

I'd also direct him to a can of WD40 and tell him to squirt anything that makes squeaking sounds. Being the good friend he is, he wouldn't want anyone to think less of me, so he'd be busy protecting my honor.

That's because you're not a Millennial snob. You're a snob for certain, but not a Millennial.
