6 hard truths about the miserable side of van life & rv living
Просмотров 26 тыс.День назад
Hello Glowbies, So many contact me on a daily basis telling me they are considering or are actually going to become a nomad either living in their car or some other vehicle. Most often it is due to financial hardship and many times is a senior living on a meager social security check. In this video I address some of the hard truths about living in an rv, camper or car and boondocking. It is not...

$20 minimum wage in California: blessing or curse hurting 1000's?

Everyone knows how expensive it is to live in California. It is no secret. The cost of housing, extra taxes and fees on gasoline and more have made it difficult for those working at low paying jobs to afford the basic necessities.

It was certainly bigger inside than a minivan conversion and could fit just about anywhere. It beat camp...

    Hey hopefully you will get this message. Hey you know how you are saying that people are getting kicked out and it's a lot of older people that are getting kicked out of their trailers. Well I'm not in a trailer. I am in a apartment and now he is going to raise my rent and so it's section 8. When them two do it I will not be able to afford to live here at all. So now I'm going to have to move out into a vehicle or something. Myself and I just got nursing so now I don't know what to do myself but I just wanted to talk and say something to somebody. Hopefully you will get this message and give me a few tips please

    It is not sealed, so expect insects and spiders, along with rats and mice to enter at will. No adequate ventilation, heat or Air. Then no power or the needed wiring for it.. Also, no way to insulate. The shed is just that, a shed. You want to camp in it? OK, but at $800 it is a very expensive tent.

    A vehicle breakdown is prob most troubling Im sure. I think I would call uHaul and rent a van which I see is about $30 a day and transfer as much as possible while vehicle is serviced. Yes $30/day can add up and most likely you will need a credit card. This is what is called a Sinking Fund. An emergency fund is for when you need care yourself. This is a very important video❤not to scare but to inform. I still think hospital parking lots are best bet to stay overnight.

    I watch these videos because I’m interested in getting a class B travel van. I’m probably a couple years out, 2 to 3, and I want to know from everyone else’s experience how to navigate doing it alone. At this point I do not plan to be a nomad. I am night blind so I cannot drive at night until my cataracts have ripened enough that they will remove them. I would however like to camp in my home state in the state parks. The state is eight hours from one end to the other so traveling for 3 to 4 hours to get to a site would be fine. I would still need my regular vehicle and I am planning on buying a home first, hopefully this year or next year. So I will have a homebase I may just spend weekends in the mountains or at the beach, but with the restrictions on minimum stays, especially over holidays, it will get rather expensive in. I am currently working full-time but I’m collecting my full Social Security and so my finances are in the best shape they’ve been in for most of my adult life. I just wish my body were in his good shape.

I am a single male who has never married, never had children and never owned a home. My family doesn't support me because of their selfish behaviors!!! I completely understand the NOMADIC lifestyle!!! Kudos :)- !!

    This is cool and I could see someone outfitting it to be like a cozy little 'get-a-way' cabin, and I'd definitely check out building codes in the location of where one would put it. Some areas don't allow for such structures to become a living space (permanent) due to safety codes. I do like the idea for storing my lawn tractor and garden supplies in it and for that price, it very reasonable. If I were to get something like this for a tiny home for myself, I'd build a small wood-frame structure. Best wishes! 🌹💖🙏🏻

    I started with the same Triptips toilet but didn’t have the arm strength to pull it open to the full height. They make another tall toilet that has 4 sides that open up and snap in place. It folds flat when not in use. I was never sure that the round one wouldn’t give way when I sat on it, the square one feels more secure for me. Thanks for the tip about the compactor bags! Thank you and God bless you for all you are doing to help this beautiful lady ❤

    I love having a portable icemaker in my RV. It paid for itself, very quickly, I have never bought ice. I also found a small electric washing machine/spin dryer for about $80.00 at a Thrift Store. I also have one that is manual and washes 5lbs of laundry, and does an excellent job of getting things clean. You are doing a great job, to manage on $900.00 a month, and we all deserve a treat once in a while. $900.00 certainly doesn't provide much wiggle room for emergencies. Even with working more inflation means that it will be difficult to keep ahead of expenses, well done, Carol, safe travels to you!

    I couldn’t agree with you more. Both my wife and I work at a Safetynet hospital which has quite a few homeless patients. I’ve compiled a number of books which have been scanned into PDF format and placed them on USB drives in case one such person decided to go to a public library to read a few of them so they could somehow lift themselves out of a bad situation with the hopes of them someday being able to look back on the entire experience as nothing more than a bad camping trip. There are even some places with plots of land so cheap, it wouldn’t take them long to raise the funds to purchase both the land, and the shed, and then somehow work online or remotely over the Internet. I’m surprised more people haven’t tried this yet.

    • @m.h.english4773

      And it just hit me because I didn’t think about this at the time, but after watching one of Bob Wells videos about Cheap RV Living, any one of a number of van dwellers could purchase one of these for a low cost piece of property, and that would instantly give them a “home base” they could return to when they started to tire of “life on the road” so to speak. 😇

  • @m.h.english4773
    @m.h.english4773 День назад

    You are most certainly NOT loosing your mind. This would be perfect for a remote property on a dirt cheap plot of land if you wanted to live off grid. My spouse recently purchased a queen sized air mattress with an internal pump which inflates by plugging it into the 300 watt inverter we power through our vehicle cigarette lighter (which should fit inside). You’re definitely onto something good. 😇

    Being 83 and sometimes contemplating becoming a person in my vehicle hearing all your good sense advice is gold! I would not give up my home, and not hit the road full time, but inches at a time. However, I do not have the cash or skills to even do small bites. In a few weeks my family is gathering at a camp sight for a week. I have outfitted my ford Escape for sleeping so maybe that is what I will have to do it for now. Oddly enough back when I was much younger and newly widowed I wanted to hit the road, me and my dog. However, back then that was not a "thing" and all my family and friends were horrified at my desire. So I gave it up. Still wish I had, mourning the loss of my husband this was my coping idea, but I let others stop me in my tracks. Thank you for your very sound advice.

    You're doing the same thing by telling us about those people. Only you didn't mention names , but its the same thing. And you always tell us about little arguments you have with people in public and things you hate about people. Thats negativity too. The Bible says to love not only those who love you. What reward do u get for that? Love even those who don't love you. Right now you're shaming them. The Bible says to speak no evil of anyone. And to bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you. We're all big boys and girls and i think its built in everyone to know who we should and shouldn't be around. If we endure, as you call them, "people like that" we're doing well. Don't shun them or shame them. Rather, share the words of Jesus with them. Be a light that he died for you to be. I always ask God why people tell me all their problems? I feel his answer was, so i could give them good advice. You might be the one they trust and they may be fishing for help from you. Don't ignore them. Don't keep company with unbelievers, but don't distance yourself altogether. Or how would any of "them" be saved? We're no better than them. You condemn yourself when you judge others who do the same things you do.

    Thanks for the bad stuff that can happen on the road. I’ve been watching Bob and many others for awhile now. Thoughts of living full time in my van I’ve questioned if I could. Seems like a lonely life, challenging, stay cool in the summers, warm in winters etc. where to go next and so on. And the break downs or flats to deal with. Definitely need to be a strong person to handle those obstacles. I own my place now and plan to part time do van life. Not sure if I could go full time yet.
