Do you live in your van or RV? The Salt Lake Tribune wants to hear from you.
Rising housing costs have pushed some people into their cars or RVs, while others have made a lifestyle decision to move into an alternative living arrangement.

Based on the number of Sprinter vans parked in neighborhoods and driving along the highways, an increasing number of Utahns have turned in recent years to the so-called “van life.”
Rising housing costs have pushed some of them into their cars, while others have decided to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars tricking out their vehicles in an effort to achieve an independent or nomadic lifestyle.
Still others have moved into their RVs full time.
