The conclusion of this study was that permanently living in caravans probably could be regarded as a phenomenon, which has arisen in a time of capitalism and the states withdrawal.

The inhabitants describe the living in positive terms with only a few negative aspects. They describe themselves in terms of campingpeople who don’t want to own so much because it is decreasing the freedom. They also thought that they are living in an unjust society where the most vulnerable groups are pressured out in the periphery. Other people’s reaction at their way of living used to be negative in the beginning. (Less)
