I think most adult Brit preppers with partners, ankle biters and rugrats are now going with the Bug In option, only having small BOBS for 72 hours escape plans and relying on a couple of caches hidden around the area to draw supplies from.
This is why I campaign for families who have no other real sensible option but to stay in place to at least get away from the big cities and towns and get as self reliant as possible.
A fit single young man with good skills and a predatory nature MAY be able to survive in a city long term after TSHTF, but I 100% believe a family can not.
That vehicle spec BTW was a totally comprehensive all singing all dancing specification, most people get by with much less. However just look at the rain we have had for months now, look at the winter the year before last where the ice was on the ground for months, C,mon FFS are any of you honestly going to try and tell me a family with perhaps kids and grand parents can rough it from a vehicle living at night in a tent if they are very lucky in that sort of shit for months??? I think not.
This is the UK and our climate is a mixture of wet, windy, cold, freezing cold and not so cold, or a mix of all. To bug out after a major event for most people requires that ALL the family members cept the poor sod on guard duty need to sleep WITHIN the shelter of a vehicle body be it a van, caravan or pop up. And if you are bugging out cos of civil unrest, riots, looting etc you cannot afford to have to offload your vehicle before you can strtetch out to sleep, you really need to be totally self contained for safety and comfort and health reasons. Leave the rock cllimbing 4x4 monster trucks with 36 inches of ground clearance but no place to crap, wash or cook to the young single warrior wannabes.
