Tip regarding showers at truck stops: don’t be shy to ask truck drivers if they have a spare shower to give you. I drove for 7 years and always had so many that I never used them all. (they get a free shower with each fuel purchase)

Great video!!!! From what you have shared, you have gone through a lot. But yet, you’ve got your sobriety and you always make the best of a bad situation. I am from a family of alcoholics that never tried to get sober. So I applaud you. And, as a person that has survived trauma myself, I know how hard it is to keep a positive attitude. You have my deepest admiration and respect.

Just found your channel tonight. So glad all was good. I drove truck for 14 years. I use to give people my free showers when I didn’t need them. Truckers get free showers when they get 50 gal. Of fuel and don’t always have time to get a shower at that time so they can build up. I was picked up in a tornado and dropped in Oklahoma 2009 in the truck. Thankfully was up right but did mess up my knees. I ended up having to retire and now can’t drive in bad storms I park so glad you parked. I’ve seen to many keep driving and wreck. I’ve had both knees replaced now but almost 70 yrs old now. But still love to travel, we are working on a mini bus so we can travel. Stay safe out there.

I gotta find Pennsylvania friends who have apartments/etc connections because we don't wanna go in a shelter of course. We also have a lot of stuff so they can't have that there as well. We need friends who are landlords or know them and those people can help disabled people get in and on our feet. :)

A tip for the future, when there is a tornado watch and the sky gets dark and it is windy it's best to be in a strong structure. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado is identified on radar or on the ground. Although not likely, you never know if your location will be the unlucky place of the first touch down. Keep an eye on the sky as well as news reports. Your home is very cozy. I think I will try making a shell jar too!

I was going to give another tip I noticed before tornadoes, and I’m not sure it happens all the time, but in the few I’ve seen, the tornado comes with nearly constant lightning and usually hail. If you were to fall asleep in your truck, you would surely be awakened by both. Also, keep a good bicycle helmet handy with you, it will protect your head in a tornado. I also carry an old bike with me and keep it in good working order, just in case my truck becomes disabled, or the roads are impassable. They even sell ones that fold up and are part hybrid. It will fit under your bed.

That looks like a really cozy setup! I am a field tech doing various kinds of tech repairs on the road, and I have to say that most Love's and TA (Travel Centers of America) have excellent showers, much like the one you showed. Some of them are just absolutely incredible, and I have to admit that after a particularly long day in the field, I have certainly gotten my 'washing up' part out of the way, and then just spent like 30 minutes just letting the hot water take my aches away. I've never had anyone mad at me about a time limit. Didn't even know there was one! :) I take my camp gear with me and sometimes I'll stay overnights at a KOA for fun, but most of the time I just overnight in the truck at a Love's or something. Everything you need!

I don't know why but I love it when I watch youtubers who make delicious meals and then "share" a bite with us watchers. It's just delightful. I can't go anywhere at the moment in my travel trailer but spending time in it just in my driveway is such fun. I know I'm weird, but I cannot wait to get out on the road. Be safe!

This is the 2nd video of yours that I have watched tonight. The 1st was at the marina with Ruby. I find your laugh infectious and friendly. Your smile and personality are so loving and caring. I am a 55 year old single mother of 3 adult children with families of their own. I was born and raised here in Florida. I've seen some of the most devastating hurricanes ever! But I love the storms! I don't like the destruction and aftermath. But the storm itself is calming and beautiful. I wish you the best of luck in your travels and on your beautiful journey. Please keep your doors locked at ALL times and be aware of your surroundings! I love how you have set up your car into such a homey living place! I love how you cook and I admire your strength. Take care and God bless you!❤🙏💫 Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful journey with us!💕

I thought it couldn't get better in there but then I saw the French door on your window cover. Holy cow - $19+ for a shower! Yes, it would be worth it to me, too.

You have a good system that will provide for everyone like that. Good luck with your journey stay strong be happy were possible

The best idea I ever saw for storing and organizing clothes was to use throw pillow cases with zippers and put clothes in them instead of pillow stuffing or foam forms. Gives the option of separating seasons and having more clothes available for weather changes like Parkas and winter gear. Can also store towels or other soft goods. Large zip lock bags will work for socks and undies and go inside the pillows too. Easier to get to instead of under bed.
