    New subbie. I'm 64 and having my son take out the seats in my 2002 Toyota Sequoia tonight. Just to see. You know. I just need to take that leap of faith, and just do it. Enjoyed your video a lot. Thank you

    I LOVE the way Abiyah speaks to the camera! It feels like I've been invited in and given a personal tour, rather than the standard straight to the point tours that I usually see on You Tube. Beautiful set up too, it has all the essentials and looks great.

    Thanks for the tour! I’m a GenX woman who recently turned fifty, and *all the rent I could’ve saved* if I’d have recognized the viability of this lifestyle. I’m in the country now and very happy here, but all the years I lived in the East SF Bay Area and paid rent with landlords living off of my labor as the parasites that they are! Glad you’re not supporting those parasites any longer.

      Hi Carla, rent prices is ridiculously overpriced. That’s one reason why I opted out of that way of leaving into this lifestyle. I’ve been able to save $$ while having a new sense of freedom. This lifestyle is totally doable. I wish you all the best on your move. 💜💜💜💜💜

I have a camper shell I had made for my midsized truck it was supposed to allow me to stand up they didn't follow instructions. Oh well I make the best of it storage is tough. Love what you have done with your space and that nothing is screwed down to easily remove. Happy times!
