I like trains. And I wouldn't have to be the one driving - I'd be the one sitting at my dining room table enjoying my postprandial bliss.

Downside is you're limited to where Amtrak goes (or having to hire a locomotive and getting permission from Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, etc. to use their tracks)

If I wanted to go the van-life route, I'd probably order a B-Box from Advanced RV in Cleveland. They have more interior room than a Sprinter and are better insulated. Costs about the same as a railcar and currently has a year-long wait.

The very best answer:

“I like trains.”

[euroderf]

One factual reason: trains don't sway and jostle as crudely as motor vehicles, so sleep is infinitely better. Also drinks do not spill.

If you're hiring chefs and stuff for your train car, buying a high end motorcoach and hiring a driver seems superior and more affordable in basically every other way.
