Retired Couple's DIY 16 Ft. Cargo Trailer Tiny House With Utility Van

[@TinyHomeTours]

What are your thoughts on this duel tiny house setup?

[@mowattlavern62]

I think it's cool

[@1972dsrai]

Fairly easy to extend if they ever chose to, just stick another trailer to it and cut a hole and you’ve doubled the space.

[@aspierunner1725]

I like it 😎👍

[@snowygirl131]

Perfection.

[@bettyvargo9923]

With the small space and kinda primative finish but useable and the gas mileage I'm glad I have my 26 ft class C motorhome. More space and luxury..and it gets around very easily..and can get into any campground..but to each their own..

[@mezzamuddle]

I could listen to this man all day, what a beautiful soul he is. Definitely an inspiration and so smart he's thought of everything, such a great set-up and it's so lovely how he considers his wife every step of the way. Thanks for sharing

[@corinneperegrini6003]

I couldn't have said it better. I typically skip through these videos, but this gentleman was a joy to listen to.

EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT MAN!!! I THOUGHT THE HANDICAP POTTY CHAIR IS GENIUS!!! I NEVER SAW ONE OF THEM IN A BUILD!!! I LOVE THE FACT THAT HE IS A MAN OF FAITH!!!

[@oliverforsyth3411]

This man hasn't only found a better way of live, hes found TRUE happiness it seems!

[@rubberbiscuit99]

This dude has so much knowledge about how to maintain this life he has. Amazing.

Agreed, I loved filming this tour!

[@ariel393939]

I agree .

[@karimarie5732]

What a gentle, elegant, practical and peaceful man. His voice is like a warm hug 🤗 He reminds me so much of my dad, God rest his soul…thank you for sharing their story 💛

[@lorraineolsen7233]

So nice to hear spiritual people doing van life and are not ashamed to speak about the Lord. Enjoyed your tour through the van. It is beautiful. Love the kitchen and windows. Neat little place. Thanks for sharing.

[@ariel393939]

I said the same thing.

[@sundayze]

You can see the peace he has in his face, and hear it in his words. God bless them both, happy trails!

[@kimberlyknight4973]

Yes this was beautiful

[@CalmVibesVee]

He has a kind gentle voice.

[@joeblue354]

Yes, No yoga mat for this guy .😂

[@jbj27406]

This fellow went from being a plumber to being a poet.

[@simplyfromscratchrecipes]

Love this one. He reminds me so much of my own grandfather; he was a hard worker, loved to camp and camped with my grandmother all of their married lives. He was just as content with the simple things in life.

[@gypsykevandev]

This man is an inspiration! Don't you love how he kept everything so simple.

[@snowygirl131]

So simple, tidy and practical! I, too, love water! He does have a charming voice for presenting all his ideas. Glad he survived that heart attack and got to LIVE a good life!

[@ariel393939]

I to love water and I'm glad he survived that heat attack.

[@katrinasheets2997]

Gosh, what a lovely gentleman! I could sit and listen to him talk forever. I wish we could have "met" his wife and dogs, but I can only imagine they're as wonderful as he is. He's truly thought of everything they need, and created a simple and fantastic life for themselves. Wonderful video!

[@mctrustsnoone3781]

I wish I had a man like this in my family. He is a blessing, his family is very fortunate.

[@bonesonstones1]

Such a smart setup, such a lovely man! Hearing him talk about his life and making this work for them was so soothing and inspiring. I enjoyed this tour so much, and I hope they continue to have such a great time on the road ❤️

[@SuzyQ2022]

I've watched countless videos on RV Living over the last few years and I can truly say THIS one is by far my FAVORITE one of all!!!! There was certainly nothing fancy about this set up, but it was perfect for he and his wife, and that's what is important. This gentleman is SUCH a pleasure to listen to with his sooothing voice, beautiful attitude towards living a simple, but fulfilling life. I'm a Christian too, and beleive that God will lead us down the right path if we just keep in communication with Him and watch for His direction.... If more people had his beautiful attitude what a wonderful world this would be! Thank You for this outstanding, inspiring video. I plan to keep a copy of the URL, and watch it again when I need some inspiration!!!!

[@mowattlavern62]

God is good, I pray God continue to bless you and your wife.

[@ariel393939]

Amen !!! Yes He is !!!

[@taramcdonough3599]

As the old saying goes "JUST DO IT"...get out and explore. This Couple is doing just that!!! 👏☘️

[@paulaarchuleta8684]

This guy is an inspiration. I’ve been check-out these types of video, considering VanLife for retirement, seems like an adventure. My husband is retired and he just sits in front of the TV, I don’t want that type of life style for retirement.

[@garypitonak5340]

Right, get outside, get some electric bikes and enjoy nature.

[@Lynnda86]

Paula, I absolutely 💯 agree. In the same situation with my husband!! I'll be praying for yours and you pray for mine, and maybe one day we'll see each other out on the road!!

[@crossroadsdnt8430]

Amen sister that's exactly what we were doing when we decided to do this while we still were able

[@tomwilliam5118]

I never thought of using a van for a support vehicle to tow the trailer. Great idea with the water tank inside the van you don't have to tow the trailer to fill up the tanks and the tanks don't take up room in the trailer. You could use that same concept in a pickup truck Mount Your fresh water and greywater tanks in the pickup truck along with the propane. Use quick disconnect fitting for everything

[@lauravictorious4670]

I've never seen a van used like this before either and I think it's genius!

[@barbarajoyhuhtala3495]

This brought a tear to my eye. It's my grandma's house, but it moves. She would have loved it as much as I do. You can always work on fixing things up a bit. She always said that. Thank-you for sharing your cozy home.

[@stacey_d]

He has such a humble, sweet spirit. May God bless him and his wife.

[@albertaadventures7750]

What a great set up and what a lovely gentleman. So glad he has a second chance to smell the roses 🤗🙏

[@ProLS6]

I just spotted this rig a couple weeks ago in a beautiful river side campsite. I have been researching build outs so it stood out immediately and randomly I found this video. What a wonderful person, I wish I had approached him and introduce myself. Kind of person you rarely run across that just make all the complexity in life we create less intimidating for a change. Wish all the best for Dan and Teresa.

[@jaydegelder2964]

Exactly, No high hydro bill , no water bill, no mortgage or rental , and he's enjoying the great out doors!!!

[@Brigand231]

Seriously, I was looking at our annual property taxes and homeowner's insurance and realized that we're effective paying about $200/month for those even with our house fully paid off. I told the other half we can find campgrounds that'll let us stay a month at that rate in our own rig and save on the other bills.

[@elizabethcox9381]

It’s wonderful that this gentle man is so happy.

[@cynthiachambers4105]

I Loved this Mature Man his words of Inspiration and a Testimony of Life. You are One of God's Children giving You a 2nd Change of Life and Living it One DAY at a TIME. This Home is Beautifully Made with Love. Thanks for the tour and You/Wife have a God Blessed Life 🙌 Enjoyed ❤️🥰😇

[@renlybaratheon9683]

So much wisdom to this man. I could talk to him all day long. Thanks for sharing your story about how Jesus helped you. Wishing you all good health and happiness everyday! 🙏🏼❤️😊

[@dustman96]

I'm not a religious person, but love this man's perspective on nature. Appreciate the simplicity of the build. I would encourage the composting toilet, once you get used to using and maintaining it it's pretty easy. And no plumbing to do! I do a lot of plumbing and there's nothing worse than changing wax rings. And I dare say that a composting toilet is more hygienic than a flush toilet.

[@crossroadsdnt8430]

Thank You 😊 🙏

[@Sandra.Sandy.Robinson]

I love the kitchen choice, especially the windows. The fact that you can angle your solar panels to catch more sun is great, too.

[@loopylou]

Beautiful soul! Lovely functional home. Many happy years to you and your wife! 💕

[@lauradavis4848]

This was such an enjoyable video. This man should read stories for money. What a soft and soothing voice.c

[@crossroadsdnt8430]

Thank You so much 💓

[@katherinenicholas7116]

What a terrific man. Wish they had a you tube channel. A little dose of that joy would be nice more often. Great set-up.

[@crossroadsdnt8430]

We just got a UTUBE Channel last week it's Cross Roads DnT

[@tawnyschlienz9063]

This is probably the best video I've seen ever. What a peaceful soul he is. Such a pleasant human. You don't find many like him in this world. Laid back, down to earth, caring, kind, mellow, an absolute treasure. God has blessed him for sure. Inspiring. You couldn't ask for a better person. He has made a lovely home, on wheels, for himself and his wife. She's a lucky lady. May God bless you and keep you safe and healthy. May you have many journeys and adventures. Make tons of memories. Hugs, loves and prayers sent your way from NE Minnesota.

[@user-dr2js7bv2i]

I'm so happy for this nice couple to have this chance for a better life. After working many years, to be able to enjoy this beautiful earth leisurely is special. Many happy travels to them both!

[@susieq2cute]

Love this man. I wish we could have met his wife. He is so thoughtful of her. He thought of everything. I just love his setup. Using his van as part of his home was brilliant. One of my favorite RV videos.

[@GaryClark-x3f]

Simple man simple living!!!! I envy him!! Reminds me of my grandparents!! He has it figured out!!

[@Brigand231]

Love this setup, I've been pondering something similar, building a kitchen and small lounge into a van and building an actual sleeping area and living room into a trailer. Little House on the Prairie is timeless! I've already determined that my standard for living on the road is to be the kind of neighbor that Charles Ingalls was.

[@prophetesschambuladevine666]

[@Brigand231]

@@prophetesschambuladevine666 The funny thing is, that while I recognized the show, the other half recognized it as the Fred episode!

For retired couple they have the best setup. It's exactly what I'm looking to do I have a converted school bus never even been out in it because of my health so that's why I'm looking to sell it and get a vehicle and a pull behind cargo trailer put my stuff in it and hit the road and to this gentleman Amen brother. ✌🎅🚌🌻👍
