RV life in retirement/pre-retirement?

The more I’ve learned about the size, cost, maneuverability, depreciation of RVs…been thinking …if we just want a comfortable & cheap place to sleep while exploring parks and nature - couldn’t we get a mattress and sleep in the back of our (largish) SUV?

Apparently some have done it, lol!

This grew from me thinking in minimalist mode about streamlined tent camping (instead of ALL the fancy, bulky equipment - how about a few simple items like small tent and mini stove?).

But…we’ve already got the SUV, lol.

Wondered if anyone else has considered this?
