Car Tour of Solo Woman Living Cheap in a SUV

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Lovely lady, inside and out. And nice fashion sense too! The SUV build out was so smart and functional. You can park that anywhere. I've never seen a foldable toilet, superb! Each time I come to this channel I learn something new. People are so interesting. Thank you Bob!

[@LSantiago65]

I wouldn’t be surprised if more people adopt this lifestyle after the pandemic. Many will not have the resources to rent a proper home. This lady makes it looks doable for anyone. She is amazing!

[@Lollipopmorgue]

Linda is living a joyful and adventurous life on her own terms. She’s fearless! Love her!

[@Brelinka128]

Hi Bob! Hi Linda! I just wanted to say... sleeping in the front seat seems to have quite a few pros! Not only do you free up all that room in the back for "living space" but I imagine being right in the pilot seat is great if you needed to leave in a hurry... which can bring a lot of comfort and peace of mind for a woman traveling alone ;) I cant wait to start my Nomad life!

[@janejones5362]

I actually had to leave like that once, when I had my Ford Ranger. Parked in a picnic area on the side of the interstate (I was getting sleepy). Guy bangs on my drivers window around midnight, saying he had an emergency. I looked around, not even another vehicle. What the crap?!? Pulled out my equalizer, pointed it at him, suggested he might want to move along. He did 😅. I drove to a truck stop, finished sleeping.

[@TheBodynsoul1]

Loved her uplifting vibe! Wow what an impressive use of space well thought out and totally classy! Nomads Rule! 😉🌼

[@jasonfromi485]

Linda is a real gem such and amazing inspirational woman. I had the pleasure of spending time with her at rtr. Thank you both for this wonderful video. It goes to show how you can thrive living in a vehicle!

[@laurirohr5364]

I remember Linda from when you interviewed her in her car. She is a happy & resourceful Nomad! Kudos to you Linda...you are thriving! Hope to run across you out there someday. Great video Bob, thank you! I love these interviews😊

[@2busysecretary]

Hi Linda and Bob! You two are providing a wonderful PSA. I have a feeling as the economy collapses due to Covid-19, more and more people will examine this lifestyle. So keep sharing because that is caring. I think being a nomad sounds wonderful; however, I have disabled grandchildren I help raise so I can't do it. I live vicariously through nomads like you two.

[@carriesherman775]

It was nice seeing a living option without the bed. I hadn't even thought of that!

[@msconnleon]

I remember the first video you guys did together ! She's so likable and talented 🤗

[@scruffy281]

I remember that too! Where does the time go!!aghhh!!❤️

[@AmiStidhamMyHealingJourney]

Gratitude changes everything... love it, Linda!

[@TheNoonie50]

I've followed her for a while now. Such great energy and attitude! She's one of those people that you observe and say to yourself "I want some of what she has!". AND, who says you can't be stylish and well accessorized just because you live in an SUV? Great interview.

[@mariannekillgo5414]

Nice to see the update on Linda! Sweet lady and her gratitude and serenity are evident. Love the nifty lap tray! 😘

[@paddlegal3097]

Linda has hit a home run again. She is so organized, and such an inspiration.

[@reneenewfrock5743]

I made pillow cases for my winter clothing. I folded them up nice and neat and rectangular, stuffed them in the pillow cases and used them for throw pillows. Winter boots are also a great place to store socks at any time.

[@rosehill1595]

I remember watching your first interview with Linda - happy to see an even more positive update. She is still all about functionality and organization:). Love that her business and media enterprises are doing well. That tray table for the wheel and the other in her 'nest' are just awesome. Impressive that she was able to pay cash for her new SUV - she is working so hard at creating a good life for herself, I'm thrilled she is staying healthy and her hard work and good attitude are paying off. Hope to see another update next year.

[@jessicawells3379]

I love how upbeat and positive this wonderful lady is. I just bought and third row seating SUV and was wondering how it could be divided into a living space and am inspired with what she has done. Thank you!

[@MrYorynot]

👍 Another informative video Bob. Always enjoy learning and admiring people like Linda with such a can do attitude. It seems like the people you get to meet during your travels seem to have a great sense of community and sharing. Look forward to keeping up with your travels. ✌️

[@donwyates]

I remember the first video with Linda, and she hasn't changed a bit - she's still got a very positive attitude, and still making great use of her space, which translates into efficient usage of time, especially with a business on the road. The Highlander is a nice vehicle too! Good luck out there Linda!

[@jacquelinejensen5360]

It's nice to see Linda in something larger. I followed her for awhile as I am working towards life on the road in a car or mini van. I had a couple questions I posted on her videos but she never answered them or many other questions from others so I moved on to KZbinrs who have a better response rate for those of us looking for answers. It's good to see she is still out there and doing well. Her new rig seems to fit her well.

[@simmpleenough]

I love how proud she is of her setup!! I live in a mini SUV and LOVE it 😊. Thanks for sharing her website. I love supporting small businesses, so I’ll be purchasing some of her products.

[@marilynking-hooper4624]

And...thank you Bob for introducing us to your friends...God bless you! 😘❤️

[@Cherokee.Sunrise44]

She's really amazing. I LOVE her approach to van life - Serene and Simple.

[@karencastle6002]

So proud of you Linda. Hope to meetup one day. You're such an inspiration!!😊

[@patriciasizemore6196]

That is awesome that You can have your business in your little home too . You are super organized , that makes all the difference .

[@Kaylin_h]

"Organization Is The Keynote to Success"--my Teacher said this everyday of Semester in school--this lady lives it!! She is so positive & energetic its so cute to watch!!

[@kele1264]

I remember Linda! Nice to see her again, and happy that she has more room, higher ground clearance, and a new vehicle. It's really well done. I like the drawers she has in the back, and the platform over the uneven floor where the second row seats were. Another great video Bob, thank you. Hope you are healthy and happy. Hugs and kissies to Cody!

[@a.l.s.i.4601]

Thank you Bob! I’ve been following her for a while, I like her enthusiasm and organisation , she’s an example to follow

[@ma198912]

Linda I remember vividly your first interview with Bob. You always have a positive attitude and never been negative. I like that. You are inspirational. I am copying some of your ideas. Thank you

[@SimpleLivingForever]

Bob, thank you for so many wonderful videos through out the years. You are a terrific interviewer as well. We can’t wait to meet you in person someday, somewhere, and sometimes! Take care of yourself!

[@carolhewett3756]

I have terrible arthritis in my shoulders and it got to the point I couldn't lay down in a bed. I started sleeping in a recliner and after about 6 months, my shoulders actually improved. So sleeping in a car seat is not as weird as you might think.

[@tandiparent1906]

I've seen a couple of Bob's videos with women that have vans with really nice flat laying recliners; both were fantastic no build builds!🙂

[@carolannmiller7911]

Hi Bob, so grateful for all your videos. They are all so encouraging for people who are thinking about the rv lifestyle. The information, ideas and creativity from your videos are so helpful!

[@shesridindirty]

She’s so relatable, thank you bob for helping all of us that want to be a nomad, it’s not for everyone but for those who are ready to be a nomad your a saint for these videos..from the bottom of my heart, I thank you bob❤️

[@catherinejackson6746]

Love Linda's positivity. Love you too Bob. Thank you for all you do.

[@nanakarrots4325]

Yay👏 Bob thanks so much for sharing Linda’s new Happy Haven SUV home living the nomadic lifestyle journey. She is a wonderful gal that is positive and upbeat😍 Y’all stay safe on your travels! Many blessings 🙏

[@stephanieburns4560]

A shout out to both you, Bob & Linda for being amazing people. You have helped those who would otherwise give up have a new happy outlook on life. Linda seems even more happy & relaxed than when she started, which does seem like amazing progress. Seeing you two together is such joy!

[@cherylduckworth8185]

Yes! Two of my favorites! I really enjoy seeing how your nest is laid out. I am figuring out my own living space area for my truck and camper shell so it is wonderful to get new ideas. I love the Bungie/ curtain idea-- so easy!

[@S.G..E555]

Arh bless her energy.. a little more space is always more handy than we know till living in them 🧡

[@dorianmeyette8560]

Yay! Love Linda. Happy SUVing, Linda! Love her awesome outlook and direct, informative videos.

[@Mystr438]

Thank you Bob and Linda, I’m glad mostly for seeing Linda looking healthy and relaxing bc most are hyper and broken down. She’s carmmunity” by choice.

[@gilbertosuna3261]

I’ve been doing this since I was a Child. We had NO $$$ so when we traveled we slept in the car. We NEVER Stayed at Hotels. It was at Gas Stations we would wash up and went to parks or side of roads to sleep. Back then there were NO REST STOPS. So now with REST 🛑’s it’s much easier. I still do this today and I’m 72 and Retired. I’m from The Great State of TEXAS and live in FLORIDA because of the Business I was in before Retiring. I have Family and Friends all over the USA 🇺🇸 so that tells YOU how much I TRAVEL. I have a 2006 Infiniti QX56 that has only 248,000 miles. Been PAID OFF for years and live on my small Pension. I sleep 🛏 in the front seat and nothing in the back seat. But behind the back seat I always keep it ready to GO on a moment’s Notice with 3 First Aide Kits ⛑ just in case with other Emergency Equipment, sleeping bag, blankets Etc. I was a FIRST RESPONDER since 1974 so it’s a Breeze Living in my SUV.

[@candicerubio8184]

I would rather live in my car thanin my 1700 sq ft. home Excellent story

[@JulieTobin-Ruszczyk]

I could except living without a shower would take some time for me.

[@jaimhaas5170]

@Bonnie Holman not going to work now... May not be viable in the future too.

[@jaimhaas5170]

@@JulieTobin-Ruszczyk I always had a 3 gallon solar bag that worked pretty good. Not for temps under 60 but during the summer you can depend on this.

[@candicerubio8184]

They are very expensive but travel center truck stops have great showers

[@JustHeAndMe7733]

Awe, I love Linda! I've been a subscriber of hers for a long time. She's so sweet and always so positive.

[@CS-pb8og]

What a sweet lady. It makes me feel that my 17 ft. travel trailer is a mansion ( although we are not full time yet). Thank you Bob❤️🌹

She is so organized. Really created a nice little traveling home.

[@constancemiller3753]

Serene and simple life. Says it all.

[@cdb4464]

Linda, you're an amazing lady and so full of fun and life! So inspirational and refreshing to see. Bob, 'ya did it again. Thanks so much for meeting us up with such wonderful individuals enjoying life to the fullest. Linda's expanded her concept of radiant room, even in what would seem to be a "small space." We can learn so much from each other.

[@marymary560]

I love her! She’s fierce and such a smart lady! I would love to talk to her. I could so do this but I would miss my grandchildren.

[@ffaubert1]

Use something like Skype. That's how we keep in touch with all 9 of ours. The great thing is that we can show them stuff as we travel that they may never get to see like totem poles and an eagle in flight. We already have the oldest three who want to be just like us.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

Many people will be doing this when your Grandchildren are older. Climate Change is here already which will force people into travelling like this eeking out survival where ever we can. By 2100 the Earth will be about 10oC hotter on average because nothing has been done to turn the ship around. We will hit 2oC in just the next 5-10 yrs and this is the point where we really run out of options to prevent catastrophic tipping points happening like the Arctic Sea Ice disappearing all summer releasing up to 1000 giga tonnes of methane gas into the atmosphere. Any climate scientist will tell you if we lose the Arctic we lose the Earth as far as human habitat is concerned. It has happened 5 times before in Earth's history where only 1 extiction event was caused by an asteroid impact wiping out the dinosaurs and killing 50% of all life on Earth. The worst was The Great Permian Extinction 252,000,000 yrs ago which wiped out 97% of all life on Earth taking 40,000 yrs from start to finish ( Co2 rising in concentration in the atmosphere) . We are digging up all that sequestered Co2 in the form of coal, gas and oil and burning it all in just 100yrs. This is a catastrophic shock to millions of lifeforms and to their habitat. We are already killing off 200 species per day and as more vanish some of those species are ones humans need to survive because they are all interlinked ruining the food chains leading to us. We need insects to pollinate crops yet they are dying off. We have already wiped out 50% biomass in the world. All these things are plotted at exponential rates and most humans do not understand exponential rate without careful educated study. The consequences are staggering in depth and scope especially as we are now seeing people becoming polarized, right wing groups leading polls and ultimately wars between nations and internal civil wars beginning. Now is the time to seriously consider learning as much as you can from people like Linda who is willing to share how she is living out of her car ect... I only hope I can follow suit and possibly hook up with someone who I can trust and share with because our set of living arrangements at the present are not going to last much longer and will not be compatible with survival certainly in 10 yrs from now. Wishing everyone will find their way and learn to support each other We lived in small groups for many thousands of yrs before this civilisation and so we can do this again. Good luck everyone who reads my overlong comment:)

[@mikefox3939]

I hear ya. So do what I'm doing, getting everything in place, learn everything you can and start on weekends then a whole week etc. Soon those kids will go their own way then so can you.

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

"Quite the ride" -- haha, good pun! I remember her from other CRVL videos. She's so happy, and DOES NOT look 62!

[@gailkellum832]

I am so happy to see her sleep set up. As a soon to be 67 yo traveling female, who has slept comfortably in a recliner, I was planning on doing a swivel on passenger seat and adding some padding to seat to sleep. My other thought was to replace passenger seat with rv type captains seat affording a bit more comfort. I love her SUV set up! And I also like having everything at arms reach in small area. Very smart choice for time saving and decreasing frustration. Happy trails Linda!

[@JaninaElyse]

Oh Linda! We love you!!! ❣️❣️ You just have the best life. Thanks for featuring our gal, Bob!

I live on Maui and I am jealous of all the meets and greets these women have. There is only so far I can travel on Maui. 99% of the van dwellers here either have a mental illness or a drug/alcohol issue. Forget having a sane or clean roommate here and rent here is insane due to the Lahaina fire. I am thinking of moving to the Mainland and seeing the US!

I have a 2003 Toyota Highlander Limited I have named Ol' Pearl (she's white and truly is a pearl) Highlanders are wonderful vehicles! I bought mine a little over a year ago and it has roughly 278,00 miles but still runs like a new car. Transmission is solid, engine doesn't burn a drop of oil. I have put some work (rear sway bar and shocks, new battery and alternator, new tires) into her but considering I got her for $2,000 I feel blessed. I am so happy for you Linda!! You picked an excellent vehicle to live in! Edit: I could definitely sleep in the front seat of my Highlander. It is incredibly comfortable!

[@christinecanavan7333]

Hello folks, I enjoyed the tour Linda. There are terrific screen tents that would expand your space when you feel a need for space. If it wasn't for this Stay at Home lifestyle we now have, I would be on the road again. Maybe we will meet someday. Christine, Female Nomad

[@lindasue8719]

IKR?! 💕 Last year I had fitted up my SUV for getting on the road but the weather turned bad unusually early so I just left everything in there. I decided to leave it like that, so in a pinch it is "ready to go". My seats are still in, and it's fairly easy to remove the things I've got in there if I needed it for passengers (which I basically never do ). You made a great observation, it's a comfort to know that it's there and functional.

[@themapsarewrongandthetimel8722]
