And if you can’t find a job because you’re older or the employer market is raking you over the coals, you’re screwed, while your housing is mostly locked in.

But that's the point,

rent === mobility

own === 10x less so

Sure. It's nice to want roots, have a home, etc. But given how the financial system works - and the economic and sociopolitical systems that sit on top of it - an RV might be the smartest way to go.

Sure there's always the American Dream narrative but (leadership) actions speak louder than words. Seeing Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny is 100x more likely than the now mythical Anerican Dream.
