SF is an easy bail on affordability and a double ditch in a pandemic. I hope Mr. Doof's house appreciates though.
Still, either you live in Coastal California, or you sweat your balls off all summer, or freeze them off all winter. It's Phoenix, Cane Bait, or a Winter that'll make you drink bleach it's so depressing.
I can see the Sprinter if you live somewhere expensive and have a job to go to and the line on good sleeping spots, but I could never work out of one of those things.
For what those things cost I feel like I could get a used Taco/Tundra, a tent, a sleeping bag, a kayak (with a dank fishfinder), mask/snorkel/fins/pole spear, few boards, wetsuit, few poles, air compressor, tire, water, tools and have enough money left over to drive south from SD for a year or three.
