If you have a vehicle on the smaller size such as a Class B camper van, you can easily use it as a daily drive to run errands or take the family out to a picnic, amusement park, road trips, or other activities. The great thing about a camper van is you can fit a bigger family into so there is no need to caravan multiple cars to a location. You can easily fit your whole family inside one vehicle. As a daily driver, you don't need to spend more money on another vehicle, insurance, gas, etc. Your van can be used for many multiple occasions and you're making the best use out of your vehicle all year round.

Rent Out your Vehicle for Extra Cash
Everyone knows the economy is going through a high inflation at the moment. That means homes for sale, rent, and cars for sale are listed at a higher cost. Not to mention there is a shortage in cars which marks the price above listing price. People are now looking into alternatives. If you want to make some extra cash back from your investment into your vehicle, you can consider renting it out. If you're not going to use your vehicle year round, might as well make some extra income.

Use as an Extra Room/Space
If you live in a smaller size home with not much space, the great thing about a larger vehicle is you can take advantage of that space. Whether you have guest over or family visiting for the holidays, you can make it fun for the kids and have them have a sleepover in the Van/RV as you accommodate more space for your friends and family inside the house. Or if you need extra storage space and don't want to rent a storage unit as that cost can easily add up each month, use your vehicle as an extra storage space.
Ever since Covid, many companies had their employees work from home for everyone's safety. Even as Covid restrictions started to uplift, many companies realized that they can save more money in rent while having their employees work remotely. This is a great time to use your vehicle as an office space. Drive to a local coffee shop, the park, or have your vehicle parked outside your home. It's a great way to get out of the house, work with no interruptions or distractions from the kids or pets inside the house and you can get a change of scenery.
