This guy is living my dream retirement- getting away from people living in an RV with my 2 dogs, living cheaply, seasonally traveling to higher elevations to keep cool. 😊

I'm very pleased to call Rob my friend. We camp near each other, along with other friends. Rob is a very helpful sort, who recently got a mutual friend's hot water heater working again. It's very true what they say: Nomads are always willing to help other nomads. And a good many of us have Bob Wells to thank for our peaceful, friendly lifestyle.

@judivowell5748 8 ай бұрын

I'm the friend he helped with my water heater (no more public showers LOL). We are all camped close to each other. Rob is such a giving person. I am going on four years full time and find most nomads are caring people but Rob is exceptionally helpful. Lisa and I are best friends who are also political opposites and met just over a year ago. But we are almost inseparable. This lifestyle is absolutely the best.

Hi Bob! I met you at 2023 RTR and it was a true pleasure. You've inspired so many of us to live the nomad life and for that I am eternally grateful 🙏. Also, thanks for doing a great feature on my friend Rob here. He's given me the grand tour of that Minnie Winnie and it's even nicer in person. Best regards to you, Rob and all of our fellow nomads..stay safe and see y'all down the road! 😀

Great to see how people are finding happiness outside of a “normal lifestyle “ and are able to live well on a lower income thanks to you Bob. I have followed you for years and I have always appreciated how you teach people to live with dignity even when they don’t have much money or a stick and bricks place to call home. You created a safety net for a society that doesn’t provide for the poor nor the elderly. Thank you for that!

Thank you, Bob, for interviewing my brother Rob! It was so much fun to watch him explaining the nuts and bolts of his life in his mini Winnie as well as his descriptions of much of his Nomad lifestyle. Plus, it has been great to read all the comments from people he knows, from people who follow him, and from people who just learned about him from you. Rob’s admiration for you was also one of the hearts of his story, along with Dottie and George, of course!

This brought tears to my eyes because this is exactly how I feel. The things that matter to me in a friend are; honesty, respect, loyalty, kindness, consistency, authenticity.... Unfortunately in our world today it seems that people look for reasons to dislike others rather than respect the difference in others.

I had not run across Rob‘s channel but I ran across him at the dump station one day and that’s when I started watching him. Like Rob I’m stationary I’m in Laposa North, and I never have to move my rig for any reason. This is my second year here and I parked in the same place I was last year. I met a group of people that have been in this area and enjoyed it so much. I came back.

I was a travel nurse, 10 or 11 assignments , long before finding CheapRVLiving. Housing was usually miserable. In southern NJ Roaches literally fell on my head one night in a rental townhome and would be so loud scurrying around in the bathtub that I could hear them. I wish I had known about forms of truck camping. . I could have saved money and been happier.

Whether a pull trailer or other tiny living space, for me it seemed such a waste to live in 1200 sq.ft. I'm not actually 'out there" yet what with shoulder replacement surgery coming right up. But living in a mobile small space makes so much sense to me.

Camper for 45 years you have to have a comfortable chair, sitting at a booth gets old so living in a camper a good chair is a must, yes the people you camp with and make friends with at campgrounds are a different kind of people, will help you do anything, when my kids were young they made friends for life in campgrounds we would meet up every summer! Another good video!😊

My change of life is because of you too Bob. I'll be 69 this year. I just lost my husband Feb of last year. We were going to do this Nomad life together after we sell our property in WA state. But now with him gone, I still need to do this because 2.3 acres with a house and 3 buildings is too much for me to take care of. I'm currently living since Nov of last year in my Class C that I got off craigslist. A gem of a home!! I have redone the entire inside. I too ripped out the dinette area when I started on my remodel. I'm living in this in my sons driveway in Lancaster CA till I'm done renovating. I want to make sure (he also wants to make sure) I'm set up. My question is on the blueboy.... this man mentioned placing it empty in the bed of his truck. How do you fill it when it's above the gravity fed position? I want to get a blueboy but I sure can't lift it to go in the trunk of my 2014 Chevy Cruze that I'll be towing after it's full of waste. Very curious about that. Is there a pump that pumps it up to the position in his truck? Thanks so much for these great viewings Bob. I can't wait to meet up with you so I can show off my hard work. Who knew that I could do this kind of work? lol. Even with Wainscoting on my walls.

@syrakurt 8 ай бұрын

I believe that was the point of him showing the macerator. It has a pump so apparently he puts the blue boy up in his truck bed then runs the hose up to it and turns on the macerator as he empties his black and gray tanks. That pumps it all up. If I understood that correctly you could do it too.

My oldest son (28) lives with his gf and my grand kitty full time in their RV, they rent a spot with full hookups, sewer, water, electric, plus a cinder block shed with hot water tank, full size washer & dryer for $700 a month in town. He saves so much $$$ even with paying rent on a spot. He works full time, but is saving to be able to travel one day. I'm envious of him. One day I'll be nomadic as well. I love the micro winnie!!! Y'all have the best life!!
