Well, it's working for me right now. I've been in the van for a little over six months now and have a planned rough end date around mid next-year, so it's somewhere between living and long-term traveling.
I'm not much of a city dweller. It's not that I hate cities, they have their charms, it's mostly just that the things I most enjoy don't exist in them. My job is reasonably flexible and living in a van allows me to be closer to the things I love to do: skiing, climbing, running/hiking (off road), especially. Typically I'll do one of those for 2-4 hours per work day, and much of the weekend. Because I guess you may wonder: I find this makes me happier and gives me more motivation in general, which, anecdotally, has a positive impact on my work.
A little more background: I work an average of 40hrs/wk; I have no children; minimal financial responsibilities; I live in the van with my partner, who works ~20hrs/wk, also remotely.
