Life in a 1984 Class C RV: Nomadic Living on Social Security| TOUR

[@championslayers]

Love that Debra is always smiling and laughing. She must be so pleasant to be around.

[@authordebradickinson]

I certainly have my moments but most of the time I am 💯 happy! 😍

[@liddlekiddle1962]

I've always loved that about Debra, too. And that she's genuine and down-to-earth. What she says and does can be trusted vs. someone making videos only to get clicks and make money. KOKO

[@craftyourwaytopeace]

The stories of everyone helping each other are the best kinds of stories! I just ❤ it!

[@grammakat9154]

Debra is a wonderful lady, she shares the good with the bad. People should go watch her channel from the beginning to appreciate what she has been through and how far she has come, such an inspiration!

You may consider installing a vent cover over the fantastic fan to interrupt the rain sensor feature. Theyre pretty inexpensive.

[@authordebradickinson]

I have one. It closes anyway. 🤪🤦🏻‍♀

[@OIII-IOOO]

what about a piece of duct tape over the sensor?

[@piersstronge1441]

What a great story! Funnily, after yesterday's video, Tiki's tour came up as a follow-up, so I watched that as well. I wonder what she thinks of all the changes and improvements! (I notiythe corner bed piece Tiki was so proud of was taken out). A lot of great work inside!

[@authordebradickinson]

Tiki and I are friends. She has never been anything but encouraging and supportive of me. Funny ... the corner bed piece is one of the few things I have NOT changed. I'm wondering what it is you are seeing. It's still there. Tiki and I both put our heart and soul into this rig. I'm glad you like the work we did. Thank you so much! 👍🏼😍

[@valsrventures]

@@authordebradickinson I loved both the original, and all of the changes that you have made to make it "Yours". I've often wondered if Tiki is still living in her 5th wheel. Where can we catch up with what she's doing now?

[@julianeg3035]

Lovely! ...it never ends, the maintenance and upgrades. it was so nice to meet you at City of Rocks

[@authordebradickinson]

Hi Juliane! Truth ... and I suppose that's true with any home we own ... s&b or otherwise. Sure do love mine tho!

[@authordebradickinson]

Glad you're still here and watching Bob's channel. KOKO! :))

Lovely home on wheels and the owner is awesome!

[@authordebradickinson]

Thank you! So are you! :))

[@billycordery6479]

I love the idea of having a dedicated power station and solar panels for the starlink. I'd love to know which bluetti Debra used. I have a 200max and would happily save to purchase a smaller one for the starlink. Great video.

[@authordebradickinson]

Hi Billy. The Bluetti I have dedicated to powering my Starlink is the AC50S, 500Wh. I found that 100W of solar was not enough so that's why I power the Bluetti with two 100W panels. I hope this helps. KOKO!

[@ConnieFoster1]

Just started reading her book She is an excellent writer ❤

[@authordebradickinson]

Oh wow! Thank you, Connie! 💯❣

[@JeffeysMom]

Bob, it was great meeting you in January at the RTR! Debra, I am sad to say I never made it over to your booth in Quartzsite. Due to issues back home in Texas I had to leave early. Maybe next year! Debra I know you’ve had your rake for a while, but I am glad to see the upgrade from your old van. I remember when it was air bones. Safe travels! ❤️👩‍🦼🚍👍🏻

[@authordebradickinson]

I hope to see you next year and hope all worked out well in Texas. Blessings!

I plan to live on the road and maybe our paths will cross. She is such a beautiful, bubbly woman that I’d like to have lunch with her someday (my treat, of course). Debra’s rig is a mix of old and new,,,,, Whatever the set up, she seems to be comfortable and happy in it…. It was a pleasure to meet her and see her and her pups Great video

[@authordebradickinson]

Thank you. I love my home very much. :))

[@tamo9520]

This is a woman after my own heart! I also have a "Used-But-New-To-Me" 1984 Class-C. Mine is a GMC 3500 Citation Supreme. I am extremely grateful as well as lucky. From motor to camper, my R.V. was in immaculate shape! I thought I had all of my ideas in place for what I wanted to do for living condition renovations. However, Debra has possibly changed my mind about some things. She's given me some ideas that I now have to sit and ponder about. Great ideas!, that I should add. I'm heading to her channel now. Thanks Bob so much for everything that you do for our community!

[@authordebradickinson]

Yay you! I looked your model rig up and it is a lot like mine! :)) Thanks for hopping over to my channel and best wishes with your renos. Happy and safe travels!

[@WisconsinWanderer]

I remember when you and Bob did the first interview way back you’ve come a very long way Debra your such a fighter. Thank you for your inspiration 😊

Thank you!

[@lisawerschkul5953]

Such a shining star!! I really love what you did with the front of the vehicle. That loft space always looks so dark and imposing. No one has ever shown an alternative and it really changes the look of the entire rv.

[@authordebradickinson]

Thank you, Lisa! I had so many people tell me it wouldn't work, and it turned out even better than I had hoped! :))

[@JennBX1]

I love Debra! She is gracious and welcoming and just good hearted. She has inspired me so much with her beautiful setup!

[@Lobaby55]

Debra you are Amazing, and I love your Spirit! You are always so appreciative of everything you have and who gave them to you! We could all learn a lot from you! So happy for you that everything has come together for you! You are Alive & Happy!!❤

Navigating social security can feel like traversing a complex maze, doesn't it? It's essential to have a guide.

[@lindsaylivinlife6282]

I really like the improvements made to the rig ...the added shelves and cabinets makes a big difference, also like the larger fridge and the sleeping area is nice and cozy. I read your book Debra, How Being a Nomad Saved My Life, really enjoyed it and always love stories about nomad life ...hey, from noobie to look at ya now (Bob sure was a blessing in helping you out in those early years)! Btw, it's fantastic you're paying it forward to help other nomads. Safe travels! ☀🌵🚐

[@authordebradickinson]

Thank you for the book purchase! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes, I am blessed with many earth angels and happy to pay it forward.

[@Findingpeaceontheroad]

Good video! Her rig reminds me a lot of the video you did on Tiki and her rig. A lot of inside resemblance. :)

[@authordebradickinson]

Good eye! It is the same rig. Tiki sold it to friends of mine and they sold it to me. We covered that story in more depth in the interview Bob did. I think it went up on Wednesday - 9 Years of Freedom on Social Security: A Nomadic Story of Healing and Resilience

[@patriciaevans5906]

This is got to be one of the best groups to be involved with. Everyone looks so happy….even if having a bad day or are just down about life. And seems like everyone helps everyone else out with different things if needed. I’m 72 and all my children are grown and my youngest grandchild is 12….I’m retired and have a lot of free time…I’ve thought several times about doing this & traveling a little while I still feel good enough to do it. I wish everyone the safest and happiest travel times ever…..be happy and kind to each other….you never know when you may need someone and a helping hand….and you be that person too. Best of all that is good!

[@laurirohr5364]

Debra has made her rig just perfect for her! Its awesome & always a work in progress as all our rigs are, lol. Hers is a palace! Debra is a wonderful caring person that I am proud to call Friend. Thank you for the tour Bob.
