[@aliciasantiago4424]

I will be on the road one day , following you for years. Taking care of my 94 year old mom. I'm 64. I will be out there someday. What a Joy I get from watching people enjoying life. Blessings

[@lindavestal8139]

Same here, my mom is 91.

[@yourfishwish2991]

I hope to be there some day too. Grateful now to still be raising kids and part-timing/enjoying camping and road trips when we can.

[@tonyastokley5165]

Same here but mine is something else came up but I lost my momma that’s what has held me back now other things ! One day ! Lol

[@Rachel20285]

Looks like so many of us are in the same boat. Mom is 89, I’m 64 and looking forward to the nomad life one day….

[@kareniceland]

Same here I'm 62, one year of work left. Then me and Mom (88 now) are going to enjoy one month road trips. Can't wait.

[@binthrdonthat]

Please please people don't wait for tomorrow it may never come. Was getting ready to retire and I was diagnosed stage 4 cancer am now in hospice Take the bull by the horns and go out there and live your life. Enjoy the road and take in all the world has to offer. I will live vicariously.through my nomad brother and sisters

[@janicecline1]

Hugs and prayers for you.

[@brianasamuels]

I have a 31 ft 1992 trek safari pathfinder With the Isuzu engine! It is incredible and gets 19 miles to the gallon diesel Very consistently. Because I have stripped all of the heavy interior out and I began to replace it with the lightest materials I can find. Next I will remove all of the propane and generator systems and go with 100% solar on the roof’s and 10 kW of battery storage. Looking forward to being on the road very soon.

[@janchapman3746]

Hi brian. I prefer gas engine. Your rig sounds wonderful. Thank you. A nomad wannabe. Some day tho. Cant wait.

[@pilot41186]

The stupidity of this entire comment. 15 mpg stock or 19 stripped with 15k worth of solar snd batteries lol

[@hmmm2564]

​@@pilot41186 agree

[@charofheart37]

I always love the tours! I thank all who ever allowed a tour. There always some new idea or resourceful reminder. I like how Tony has a hammock inside an RV! Something I never thought I would see. Thanks so much for sharing! 🤗❤️👍🏾💯

[@janchapman3746]

Hi bob. Hi tony. Love that class a. Never seen one like it. Love that bob and cody. Tony. You are a doll. You go girlfriend. You said it. Juast get out there and do it. You will be glad you did. Bob you are the very best. Love these videos. Cant wait for the next one to see. Yep keep on keepin on. How is sue ann and the howa group. Love you all and love the viewers and all the nomads. Im 75 yrs. Old. Cant wait for my turn for the nomad life. Dont know when tho. Im counting on it. Im ready. Ive lived in stinking apts. For 47 yrs. Now. Im sick of them. To much bad stuff happening in and around this town. Catch this. Saving rent money in your pocket. Paying bills better. Eating better. Dont travel a lot. Sit tight for a week or two then move on to the next town. Stay on a budget. The rent or house payments save half of it. Spend the other half on just what you need. Then save somehow for emergencies such as the bad weather. We all can do this. We are in this together. Love you all. Just thought i would try to help encourage someone to be happy to do it. I get excited thinking about it. May god bless you bob and tony and all the beautiful nomads and wannabe s. A huge fan. Jan from texas.

Great gas mileage for such a large rig!! I love how open it is and the hammock----wowza!! i really love the rig tours!

[@lindavestal8139]

Every time you think you have seen it all, and the most unique or impressive, Bob finds us another one--just WoW!

[@amiw9339]

Beautiful!!! And you are such an inspiration Toni ….

[@yourfishwish2991]

Interesting! I enjoy learning about different rigs and “meeting” different people with their unique approaches to RV/van living. Thanks for sharing these videos.

[@1tlb0k61]

I have a class B that gets 14mpg freeway & a 22ft class B that gets 9mpg. Good for her! I will need to keep a look out for RV w this engine. Travel blessings

[@marilynrenaud1892]

I love her rig...thank you for the tour!👍😁

[@fillhixx]

You can make a good hammock hanger with two vertical 2” metal posts and a spreader bar across the top. Then the spreader and posts are taking all the stresses.

[@pamettmayer2391]

Bob thank you for your channel. I feel a real connection with your viewers. Appreciate what you do for the community showing us the way.

Just bought an 85 Fleetwood class A and looking to hit the road when the kiddo gets out their own!

[@ProjectPete]

What a great lady and what a great blessing to have you profile her life and style.

[@jsso2845]

Fantastic

[@shaunhall6834]

Keep on keeping on!

[@saltwaterbohemian2538]

She is an absolutely lovely soul. Really interesting to rour I love her touches of home.

[@kennethgardner3090]

I would like the manufactures of all vehicles with the best MPG to brag it up. This will help in sales. Even when gas is cheap nobody brags about the worst gas mileage.

[@larrywebber2971]

I love the older 4 cylinder diesel Trek Safari. I had the opportunity to drive a brand new one "back in the day". It was admiitedly challenged on the Interstate Highways but I loved it. We avoid Interstates in my home state (Indiana) as much as possible and now that we're retired, we can pick most of our routes and avoid them. Even stock the little Safari was the best use of space of any RV I've ever seen and Toni has improved on this with her modifications. Nice job Toni!

[@AngelaJonesPoetryAndStories]

She has a very pretty home. thank you for the tour

[@maehay4065]

Smart lady who knows how to pick a great rig. I don’t have her experience with what she knew before buying a rig with a Safari engine but I do now. My brother has been kind enough to buy me a small RV which I totally appreciate. So in the near future I will get to live out in the desert with my family.👍

[@brianbouchard1947]

My 2000 Ford F350 with 7.3 diesel engine only gets 14mpg. Amazing motor home you got there. Thank you Bob.

Holy moly...14 mpg...I get 14 in my van and 11 with my quad trailer. good for you!!! Enjoy your journey!!!!

Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.

[@gabriellechilton5902]

I love Antonia’s back splash

[@jimbeaver27]

I just bought a class c RV based on an ISUZU truck, 4.8 liter diesel she should get good mileage too. Mine is a 2006 and I am in Japan, seems they did stop using Isuzus here around that time, I have not seen one newer. Mine is 4WD with rear dualies and good clearance it can go almost anywhere.

[@bdwillis8284]

Outstanding!

[@stacyhackney6100]

Lovely lady, lovely home. Very nice rig.

[@liveelevated8264]

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

14 mpg is quite impressive... makes one wonder... have they come out with hybrids yet? Have to go searching now!

[@martna1]

Nice cozy home.

[@ivanhawkins3552]

Don’t you wish to have a home like this

[@Rachel20285]

Wonderful rig!

[@johnnylightning1491]

Really, really nice and the mileage is unbelievable. Do you know how much weight it can tow? Keep the good stuff coming Bob.

[@sxs4l245]

It's not deigned to go a million miles. The heads are not rebuildable so that's an issue if it occurs. 14pg is great! Trannys can be hit and miss on those. But the Trek is definitely a heavy competitor in the used market. At around 8k they area highly affordable unit! Enjoy your travels.

[@eveorlando3389]

I love that room it's perfect.

[@ivanhawkins3552]

I wish you’re doing well

[@advanceknowledge5677]

I guess it is one great and efficient Japanese diesel engine

[@christywilson694]

Oh man, that's totally what I want!

[@WisconsinWanderer]

Wow that’s great mileage for a class A. My E250 gets 13 in the city thank you

[@justme.9711]

Do you or anyone you know have vid on an 18' box or pantech stealth/diy motorhome/camper. I am thinking of putting a simple set up in it because I want some room inside, like a house, not so cramped for full time living and it will be pretty lite because it is not cramped full of stuff.

[@marijohoffmann1906]

Enjoy your videos about your own rig. You give just the right amount of detail...could do it if I wanted to...but don't bore us with too much. Good job.

[@keyplayer5]

I want one! Such a great video.

[@ivanhawkins3552]

Hey 👋 how are you

[@davidw_52]

Thats a nice RV, so big for being so small. I have a Class C 21 so small I can either sit at the dinette or in the driver/passenger seat. Just starting out so I am not sure about the mileage but someone told me to expect 10 or less mpg. Gas V10 Ford E350

[@janchapman3746]

Hi david. Oh me. Ive heard ford trucks is a gas hog. They have never got good gas mileage for yrs. Chevys always got better gas mileage. Im a chevy girl anyway. They are more comfortable to. Chevys that is. The way i understand it is. The reason why ford has out sold chevys is because ford interrior is cheap made. Chevys is quality. Plus chevy parts is easier to find. Anywhere. And better looking than fords vehicles. So i want quality. My favorite is chevy trucks. Chevy malibu. Chevy cruz. Chevy cargo vans high top. Go chevy. No offence to anyone. Gas engines preferred. In a diesel engine. Maybe a bit less parts. But the cost of parts and labor is double. Plus need a diesel mechanic that has years of experience. Not just anyone can work on them. To me the quality of both engines is the same. The gas mileage is different. But some towns may not have gas stations for diesel fuel. I dont know tho. Thsnk you for your views of coment.

[@cathysupp9493]

What a terrific small A! I’d just LOVE having that….how’s the insulation?

I really wish I could afford a motorhome. Every month I worry I will one day be on the street with my son. I am disabled and on oxygen and only live on $850 a month, my rent is $550! Really doesn't leave me anything after all bills are paid. It would be amazing to have a roof over your head and not have to live in fear all the time! Love your videos. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rayleo529]

Hi Bob. I have been a subscriber of yours at cheaprvliving for years now. On a episode a while back, you were talking about some of the work one can find on the road. I believe it was a clip from a prior RTR and you were talking about hauling new RV, travel trailers, etc. from manufacturers to dealerships, or even dealer to dealer. What are some of the manufacturers and how would I contact them? Love your content Bob. It is because of your content, and others who I now follow that you interviewed, I have chosen to embark on this lifestyle myself. Can't say enough thanks.

[@davidc3648]

I wonder about those Safari's about the bed. What could go wrong with the mechanical electric "Magic" bed? So I can give her credit for getting that thing out, if she did it. But a hammock??? I cannot conceive as to how uncomfortable those things are. I need a flat surface, one way or another.

[@davidmurling4252]

Nice rig. For me, I would take out the jackknife sofa and replace it with a futon. That would be comfortable for me to sleep on.

[@sierramantrvlnus]

Yay!

Hammock in a cargo trailer, could it work?

Nice kitchen, but where's the bed! I would get some comfy foam on that coach. A hamock, really? Must have been a trapeze artist in another life.

[@joshpigeon7507]

Trek's stock just shot up a hundred points. I've gotta say. The Japanese are really the mechanical masters of all. All I see in California roads is Toyotas. And for a reason. They have a well earned reputation for engineering and workmanship. Not a surprise they make a great RV engine as well. Those Harbor Fright solar panels are the worst. Not a good value either.

[@Frantic618]

I would guess that she gets the good gas mileage because it's lighter than the average rig. Most of them are crammed with stuff made of cheap-junk HEAVY pressed wood. Open air doesn't weigh nearly as much.

[@ABritishBoyAndAFilipina]

I find it funny that Americans get excited about 14 MPG, in UK terms that is ridiculous mpg.
