    With the addition of your dads welding skills and your moms sewing skills, this is by far the best self contained travel rig/build I have seen. Very nice job. You are very thourogh and easy to understand while you explain everything. Not a bunch of extra jibber jabber, which makes you enjoyable to listen to. You get an A+

      @@BFaluup Let me add to your words of wisdom. Get were you want to be by 55, because your drive really takes a nose dive. Especially if you're a woman 👩. If you're not happy in a relationship your drive takes a nose dive. Men keep a drive better but you want to look forward to having some fun.
      That doesn't mean you still can't stay in a house. But definitely cut down on stuff so when it comes to down sizing it will be easier.

      Life is what you make it. I worked long hours and was very dedicated to my job for 30 years, but I had a goal to retire comfortably at 50. I retired 2 years ago and I can't even describe how awesome life is now. Yes, the work and time spent was an effort, but to be able to live life without financial concerns is amazing. I've always had a tremendous amount of drive and still do, but instead of directing it toward work, I direct it toward living my best life. For me, the sacrifice all those years was well worth it.

      @@GirlGoneGlamping Don't worry there's nothing wrong with you talking fast, it's actually a compliment. It's a comparison to others talking and presenting their vehicles in a fast, incomprehensive manner or others talking so slow that I have to fast forward the video or close the video and go to another or some who are so boring that you feel pulling your hair but have to be patient to watch everything. Some would end their sentences with annoying giggles and some would start the sentence with high pitch and before the sentence ends the pitch dropped to the floor like the throat got sands in it. It is not good commenting even if it is true lest they will be offended. However, I am watching because I have to see what they've got and what they are proud of.

    Also wanted to tell you that was a nice job on your video tour of the 4x4 camper. I also dry camp some mostly at Glamis sand dunes with my dune buggy but also some beach camping when I surf. I am always looking for new or different ways to conserve or add on energy storage or better solar harvesting from my solar system You showed a DC powered air conditioner which could make sense for me (have the big 115v unit on the roof but try not to use it) . I also designed my own evaporative cooler system which works great in the dry heat of the desert and basically runs on 12v from the solar and batteries and water from the motorhome. It is portable and I mount it on the passenger door of my Class C motorhome. Anyway thanks for doing the video, well done! Jon

My one change would be making the entrance step easier. I recently got an unexpected leg injury so am suddenly more safety aware.

The crime rate here is VERY low, we all know our neighbors and who comes into our area, we have a very large police force who respond SO FAST it makes all those other large police force look like rookies. They patrol constantly here. No slackers.

    This is one of the coolest rigs I’ve ever seen, this is the kinda solo I’m looking for. Lots of power, lots of water, all comfort. If I was to do a solo van lifestyle this is kinda the route I’m looking to go in 🙂

      Lightening Gamer, I’m assuming your name indicates a love of video games? Because I’m a huge gamer, also considering this van lifestyle…..but as well as wondering how I’d get my baking done, I’m also concerned that I won’t get to play video games.

      Lightening Gamer, it’s way off for me too. I have to find a way to make money, pass my driver’s license and do research first, but still it’s an exciting goal from a bird’s eye view. Best of luck to you too ☺️👍

    Wow you really built it with everything in mind. Most RV designers always neglect or sacrifice something but you managed to get everything covered and still have that home vibe. It utilizes empty space well too. I wish this type of RV design was sold by retailers tbh.

    I have for the last 5 months been living in a R.V. Still working but just wanted to see if it was me. Going threw the winter in Western Mt. Is not the easiest but looking at Flathead Lake everyday keeps me grounded!! To be honest it is a trade of certain items but most I can live without and for the most part I am staying more active and fit!! I sure welcome your input and it is nice to see you enjoying yourself and staying close with your family!! Your very knowledgeable of your devices on your camper and that is impressive!! You have done well and I am proud of your success living and working this way!! You will be so glad you did this while you could and look at the health benefits of being active constantly!! Your welcome at my campfire anytime my friend!! Montana Rick.
