Damn right, I will.

The system traps you within. Breaking away from it can be a difficult venture and cannot be done completely without some retribution from the system itself. They’ll punish you for it to some degree and people have even been killed over it.
But yes, vanlife (or off-grid living) can liberate you to be potentially happier. At the very least unencumbering oneself from the odious monthly outlay just to live helps a lot. I don’t choose to do this (yet), but have friends that exist this way.

Only thing I can see trapping me is medical cost and insurance

All part of the system. Stay healthy, friend!

Yeah it made me a lot happier. Wouldn’t live in a city or suburbs again even if the rent was free. I started out fully nomadic in 2017 but now I stay put most of the time. I’m currently scouting for land to build a cabin to stay in year round.
I’m an older adult on the spectrum and being out in nature, away from all the people, and a simpler life has dramatically bettered my mental health so I’m looking to make it permenant. I don’t like the unanchored feeling and routine distruption that comes from the nomadic process.
