      @@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.
      I do not know your Dad personally but give my regards and thanks for doing some great works in your camper and that I enjoyed watching your video. The best to all, you and your family. Keep safe and happy "glamping"!

I think it depends on how close that town is in relation to a city, and how well the town's folk know each other. I live in a very small "town" about 15 minutes drive from a large city. 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.

    Got me thinking about my mother.
    In early 1950s, my mother drove herself over dirt roads, camped alone, in northern Nigeria based out of Katsina. She was pioneering infant nutrition and health education programmes. Standard issue vehicle was a kit car - similar to what we now call a pick-up truck but bigger - called a kit car because you threw your kit in the back, not a self-assembly kit.
    She drove from village to village with a plan to speak first with the chief's harem. She was addressing the prevailing attitude that children should only get a mealy-meal porridge with no protein at all - hence kwashiorkor even in times of abundance. She did her own repairs while out on tour but wasn't strong or heavy enough to deal with punctures so had to wait for the next lorry to come by, flag it down, and ask for help. Met my dad out there, married in 1953, I arrived as first of 4 in 1955. Brother and sisters all born out there. They returned to England in 1961 because all my grandparents getting on in years and Dad would have to find work before too old for anybody to take him on. They'd have liked to stay out there.
    Just googled "Old kit cars and pick-up trucks" and got this: 1942-1959 Napco Chevy and GMC Trucks - not exactly the same but very similar and same era. A bit more like this: 1953-1956 F-100 - which might be a later version of what she was driving. Thanks for triggering the memories

    This is what I would say 1 bedroom flat on wheels. With the flat in city you are stuck in one place where as with this one you go where you want to be. I envy you. Enjoy life you only live once. God bless you and keep you safe.

    I think of living in a motorhome a lot. You inspire me to do it. Your personality is very beautiful. Thank for sharing.

      Not everything. What about bear spray? I have some. Made by Sig Sauer. Never leave home without it.

    Thank you Lindsey for including all the names of items and gear used in your rig! Very useful for others researching options for their own builds.

    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 never bought a home in my entire life because I could never find a place I wanted to plant roots. Now that I have found that in the PNW I have now started outlanding for hiking for 9 months now and wish I have lived this way my entire life.

    Very nice rig, the way it’s set up is great for boon-docking. My wife and I travel in a Revel and enjoy every new place. Good luck on your travels.

    Your camper will probably even gain value these days what a brilliant idea. My Dad sold his last touring caravan for a 5K profit 5 years later.

    OMG, she is sooo beautiful and has that super hero level of confidence. Even her voice is impressive. The camper is awesome too, but the owner stole the show for me, haha. A super hero living in a camper.

    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.

    Brilliant camper and well thought out for luxury living but a compromise on space to which she has done extremely well! Love it!

      If I ever wear out all the clothes in my dresser and closet, she'll still have fewer clothes than I do. She really does a great job of minimalist living even though it is a "glamping" lifestyle.
