In our case it's strictly for travel because our HOA doesn't permit anything configured as a camper, even if it's a Class B van, to be parked in the driveway. If you live in an HOA check those rules before you think you'll have a 2nd daily driver. That's what we thought we'd have, but noooooo. We're making it work with one car at home and the camper van in storage, though it's not what we'd hoped for in terms of daily convenience. OTOH, where we live the sun bakes down super hot and we store our camper in the shade under a roof, so that's actually a net positive for extending the life of the van.
Regarding the tiny fridge in our unit, yep it's a constant pain in the neck, but again, we've learned how to make it work for us. It does require more frequent trips to the grocery store and fewer items per trip in terms of chilled items, but seriously we make it work and it was fine once we got the hang of it.
