Why convert a '78 Chevy P-30 stepvan into a moving home

I am going to The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA this fall. This is my second time around and I am 39. I started looking for housing in Olympia at the beginning of the summer and have gotten no replies. I think that being 39 makes me sound over the hill and possibly a bore.

I started kind of freaking out-- I had no idea what to do. So I was talking to my boyfriend who runs a Tim's Chip route and I joked that I should buy his chip truck because it has a diesel engine (3.9 Cummins turbo-charged 4-cyl), then I could run it on biodiesel. By the end of the day, I decided to convert the bastard and live in it. Screw you guys, I'm going to go live in a chip truck. That night I bought his brother's old piggyback camper for $250 for the appliances which include a stovetop, 3-way fridge (12v, 110AC and propane), a propane furnace, sink and water tank.
