Making someone comfortable during death and talking to them through the last hours of life is one of the nicest things you can do for somebody. I seriously wish this woman the best of luck with her adventures.

I have been in my van going on 5 years and have been thinking about a pulling something like this. You did a beautiful job on the build out. I have been going back and forth between buying a travel trailer or a trailer and building it out. Your trailer looks more built to last…decisions, decisions. Thank you for taking the time to show us your beautiful home.

[@joycenuckels2773]

@@justwannasay5454 I’m 64 and I have towed when I was younger and not looking forward to doing it again but after 5 years in a standard height cargo van…let’s just say I’m over it. I have Copd and the thought of hooking and unhooking along with setup is holding me back. I don’t know, maybe it’s time I bought a 5th wheel and just park it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@judithshorey2137]

I too have been going back and forth with the same question. I just saw a trailer that is in my budget, so should I or no? I’ll keep thinking on it. Good luck to you!

Really nice! And she is my age, based on the age of her oldest, yet she looks 20 years younger than I. Really glad her kids are behind her on this, too. It’s not always the case. Thanks Bob for showing us something new AND for the interview! I am truly impressed

[@laurirohr5364]

Love the home she has made for herself & her fur babies! I also chose to buy a cargo trailer & build it to suit. She has the freedom now to live life on her terms. Fantastic! Thank you for the video Bob.

She’s done a really great job of creating a place called home. Very nice ❤️😊

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

This is nice, I especially like her ceiling and room divider. I enjoy seeing all the clever ways folks set up their homes. I paid off my mortgage, and am now looking at small cargo trailers. I agree with Bob that they are better made than RVs. They are homier, too, with straight walls and higher ceilings. I started thinking about it as a bugout bag I could sleep in after we were evacuated before a forest fire. Sleeping in a local school gym was a blessing and a nightmare wrapped in a single package.

Amazing how little is needed to make a home! Adaptation is the secret to a pleasant life. Nice home.

[@michellegarry1872]

First, GREAT intro!! Seriously! Second, YES Jersey, you have inspired and encouraged me. Unlike you, I have never camped (other than once in a tent in a monsoon with 2 youngsters in 1981, never went again). I ordered a Casita, picking it up, Lord willing, in September 2022. My tow vehicle is a Ram 1500 4x4, Hemi. Can’t have too much truck. As September approaches, I hope my apprehension turns to excitement. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

[@janmoline]

I hope your experiences have been good ones! Hope you’ve been able to talk to experienced campers for tips and tricks to make camping fun and practical for you! I’ve camped in variety of units, from as small as a 15’ Hi-Lo trailer (hard sides, crank up top) in the sixties to a 27’ Winnebago in the 90s, and 30’ Mallard in the late 90s/early 2000. All have pluses and minuses, all will require maintenance and repair, including outside the box, jury rigged, homemade solutions. The challenges and fun of mobile living is adapt and conquer. I will pick up my retirement dream home, Outdoors RV, Mountain Series, GP F28RKS, next week! Cannot wait!……Hope to see you on the road!!

[@michellegarry1872]

Jan Moline wow you’re a hundred thousand steps ahead of me! My Casita won’t be ready till September 15, 2022. I’ve considered practice camping in the Gazelle gazebo I purchased to use with the Casita, but I have no idea how to even start. Your new rv sounds awesome! Next fall, if you see an old lady fumbling around in a Casita looking totally confused, stop and say hi, that will be me. 🤣

[@janmoline]

@@michellegarry1872 totally will!!! Haha. I spent 5 years researching and working with the financial gurus through my employer's retirement system. I'll be leaving the end of this week to get my rig. So if you see a white haired old lady way back in the "sticks" with a 5th wheel, stop by for a cuppa (my Mum was from Ireland, that's something they say there!! Lol Tea and socializing can't be separated!! Though for me it's coffee)!!! Can't wait to make friends in the road!

I absolutely love bead board panels, they transform an empty space into a home, and look gorgeous stained, sealed, varnished or painted. This travel cabin benefits from having them and it looks like a lovely space to spend time in, irrespective of the weather outside. Simple, inexpensive builds can also be reconfigured to try different layouts without it being disruptive.
