VW Bus: Best Home Ever?

According to celeb news reports, the popular singer Jewel wrote some of her best song while living "homeless" in a blue VW Bus. We're not sure that designation is in fact accurate, since many buses are better equipped than most mobile homes. In fact, we think the plaid curtained VW Bus is the best choice ever for vehicular living. Agreed?
Domestic vans (especially '70s conversions with crescent-moon side windows, chrome mags and naked Viking women murals painted on the side) may be more practical and reliable than the German air-cooled cubes. But the VW is the only van that avoids the "down by the river" stigma. Instead it says "not all homeless wish for a home," or some similar silly Deadhead sentiment.
Having driven and slept in a variety of VW Buses in a variety of rainbow hues, we at Rumblenote are also calling bullshit on the media's suggestion that Jewel wrote her lullabies to relieve the stress of living in her VW. You may argue that another van is better for living, but no vehicle was ever more mellow.
