Robin, you are so much of an inspiration to me. I became disabled in my 50s because a drunk driver hit me at a red stop light in the back of my vehicle, causing me to become disabled before I wanted to. After that my parents become ill and my sister, pretty much put the load on me because I didn’t have a job, so I went and took care of my parents for six years before they passed away and lived with them. Before that I was taking care of my grandchild that my daughter adopted because she couldn’t afford a babysitter. I’m telling all this to you, because pretty much all my life I have taken care of others and not thought about myself. When my parents passed away, I was TOD there dodge caravan which I still have. Although I’ve been thinking about getting rid of that van for a smaller car, watching your video has inspired me to keep this van and turn it into a living van on the road and do something that I would like to do and that is travel. Thank you again so much for this video. You don’t know how much it has helped me. Blessings to you and safe travels on your adventures. ❤️🤗🙌🏼

[@jacquelynallen488]

I’m trying to figure it out now. This keeps calling out to me and the timing of this video is impeccable. Thanks for having the forethought to reach out to us! ❤

I too am a solo female with my dog on the road for the last 4 years. Prior to starting this life I worked a stressful job which I still work now from the RV. But, my shoulders are no longer up around my ears My back is not spasming from tension I'm not having upset stomach or headaches. And all I did was get on the road. I lived in an apartment where the only conversations with your neighbors was high and passing everybody's busy with their life and doesn't have time for anything else. I literally worked went home slept worked went home slept and so on and so on. I have more friends now and I have relearned the love of nature that I had when I was young.

I am a bookkeeper - most of my work is remote, almost ready to make it all remote. I will keep my home base as I have two sons still at home and think I will switch to a Class C as I don't love the whole hitching up and backing up. I loved being in my trailer this summer, so looking forward to longer trips!

My ex and I retired when he was 45 in 1995, we traveled in our motorhome for about 40K miles. Then we bought motorcycles in 2000, after camping and motel stays for 65K miles we stepped up to Goldwings in 2003 and a tent trailer, traveled another 75K miles. On the motorcycles we were able to take back roads, secondary routes. Stopping in small towns, exploring the absolute beauty of this country!! We went on roads that the RV could not maneuver on, we would patronize local restaurants because we didn't take cooking utensils, just a cooler for snacks and beverages. We wanted to experience local communities, some as small as 50 people! (Can always find food in a tavern along with great conversations!) We did all this over 12 years, 2007 we got grounded as my mother became more frail, in fact I went back to work so that we weren't dipping into savings for health insurance while at home. After the end of a 40+ year marriage, paying him off, I'm seeing the bright light in my tunnel to getting back on the road! Been watching you for years, seeing you blossom is heart warming, sorry about Big Boy! I always loved RVing, there is always a great story out there to be told, a road to explore, in fact it was you that turned me onto Harvest Hosts! Happy Trails!!

Camping & travel saved my life as well. 6 yrs ago my husband suddenly passed away. I was devastated. I had to find a way to heal. I researched camping and found Bob Wells. You and I started around the same time. That was it. I had a van. I set it up. And off I went. 6 yrs later I am still going. I love it. I am healed and now love life!

Thanks, Robin. Appreciate you sharing your “origin story” of full-time RV living. My story is similar. I’m beginning my 9th year as a full-time solo female nomad. I agree, full-timing saved my life, too. I love, love, love my nomad life and expect to continue until I can’t see the road signs or hear the birds singing! Then, and only then, I’ll park my rig and spend the rest of my days remembering all my adventures on the road and all the Dear Ones I met along the way. Thanks again for the content, Robin. Safe journey. 💞🚐☮️

In April 2022 I had back surgery that put me out of work for 3 months. I hadn't realized that my spousal support was going to end at about that same time, and was really struggling on how I was going to pay my bills, which put me into a depression. I started looking for upbeat things to watch, and stumbled on your KZbin channel. It started the spark of my retirement plan. Like you, I personally don't know anyone who is doing this, but thanks to your channel, and others like it, I feel like I am getting valuable information that helps me shut out the naysayers. Last April I set myself a 2 year goal, because I will be more financially stable, I will have fulfilled my commitment to 2 committees (which I find fulfilling), and will have my house ready to sell and on the market. I can't wait! Even my sons are getting more on board with it and less worried!! Thank you for this and all your other videos!! You are touching more lives than you know!

Is it for everyone? Of course not; nothing is. Can it be the answer for someone who doesn't feel they're living their best life? You bet. Can it be the means for someone in financial crisis... yes, if done right. Like anything in life, it has its pros and cons and the key to that is "know thyself." Thank you for sharing. I've been here with you on your journey since the beginning and your sharing has improved my life because I love RVing and, due to disability, I can't actually live the life you do but I'm enjoying the vicarious ride.

In November I’m retiring and my plan is to stay out on the road until I decide to go home. I’m married and my wife has to continue working until she’s retirement age, or so she believes she does, but she supports my dreams and wants me to go find my peace.

I have been watching you for years. I started looking into the LTV’s because if you. I picked mine up in October of 2019. I had been caring for my Mom and planned to “hit the road” when I finished her estate. I had been living in a “Majestic”, on the lake in the town she lived in. It was a used Cruise America rental. I loved living in it, but it was older and got terrible gas mileage and was essentially a big box. I was able to finally leave in April of 2021, towing a Jeep behind the LTV. I am now 75 and, thankfully, still am happy with my LTV. Unity, Island Bed. I have been to the Canadian Maritime Provinces (2022) and this past summer spent almost three months in Canada and Alaska. I have been across the U.S. four times. You are right there are a lot of us solo women out here. I plan to keep going as long as I can/want to. Fuel and other costs are causing me to rethink my schedule. I will have to watch my budget and find some ways to save money. Thanks for this video and all of them! 😊

I have had people pursuing me to transcribe a book! I was a real estate broker in Las Vegas Nevada from 1990 to 2010. I dealt with world, famous celebrities, boxers, even mafia that flew me to New York for the most incredible wedding you could imagine I didn’t find out they were mafia until later! No space here, to delineate the+ celebrities! Also, some really incredible wonderful clients who weren’t celebrities! Unbelievable houses! Vintage and more! prior to that another life as an advertising agency owner in Salt Lake City, Utah! Writing and war television And radio commercials! When real estate crashed in Las Vegas was when I think I may have transition to nomad life, but my health failed!

[@CH-eg7tg]

I lived in Vegas for 8 years...and There is so many high style celebrity homes and mafia and more.. I didn't live in any. Just your average small home. Your entry here was touching. 80 yrs is not easy to get to! Keep your humor. Good on you for feeling you have lived a long life and no regrets. Thank you for sharing and you are in my prayers. God Bless. ~cj🙏

@@CH-eg7tg thank you so much! Very touching for me to see you and appreciate!

[@peggy011]

Thank you, Robin. I've been following your journey from the start and appreciate all that you have given so freely to others. Because of you (and other nomads) I'm within spitting distance of beginning my own journey. Thanks again.

[@insidedianeslife2456]

How exciting. My journey is farther than spitting distance, but it is coming.

[@elizabethmoses1186]

I SO appreciate you and your openness about your journey 🥹❤️My husband and I are about to jump headfirst into this as well - although for us it will be a hybrid lifestyle bc we have a 10 acre homestead we’ve lovingly built over the past 20 years. And while I have loved my career as a rural farm call veterinarian, I went to college on an art scholarship and I was road-tripping across the country from the time I was 18. I settled and found a way to enjoy a rural traveling lifestyle through my vet work, but - I’m a highly sensitive person, an autistic artist who relates to animals better than people and it’s PEOPLE who have sucked the life out of me as I’ve given all of myself and more to help their animals for 27 years now. I have no regrets but - I have had cancer. I DO have multiple autoimmune issues and I DON’T know if I have 10 or 20 years left, although I hope the changes I’m making now will help me have a better chance. Regardless, hitting the road and experiencing some adventures has been calling me for a long time, stumbling upon your channel has been such an encouragement. Thank you for your honesty and your passion. You are correct, there are lots of people out there like you…keep sharing your stories, it helps more than you may ever know🥹❤️🙏

Loved Loved Loved this!! Thank You! ❤

[@ellenaasen559]

Good morning! You are such an inspiration!

[@deborahwilson3946]

Hi Robin, I started following you a month or so ago. This video is so me...i am in a corporate job I hate. I am an artist and no time to paint. The big difference with us is I grew up camping and used to love it. I turn 65 next year and my plan is to purge my stuff, sell my house and buy a camper and become a Nomad. My family are even on board. Thank you so much for inspiring me to just DO IT! 😊

[@PupsforLIFE9]

You have lived your life exactly as you wanted to… left a high paying job and decided to do RV life, write your wonderfully informative books, as well as novels, and do your artistic endeavors. So glad you were brave, and took on life the way you really wanted it to be! A wonderful example of a successful and happy solo woman! ✅ Take care, stay safe and enjoy all your travels!

[@lesliepalmer7407]

I have enjoyed watching you for sometime and truly envy your life. I thought I couldn’t make ends meet as an artist. I’m finding myself now and you are a light. Thank you!

[@ForeverWhereAfter]

Robin, thanks very much for doing this video. I’m male and semi-retired but all of it speaks to me as well. I’ve already made the choice to live nomadic about a year ago but the problem is that I can’t find the way into a rig. RV’s are all so expensive now, even used ones. I’ve tried camping in my car but my back suffered for it. I’ll be trying again though. Before the pandemic I thought the chances were better to hit the road. I’m just saying that some of us don’t need convincing about the lifestyle but are simply unable to live it.

[@robintaylor1084]

I'm like you, can't afford one either. Don't need to be convinced, just want so much to be out there living the life

[@destinysisco3142]

Try a no build van.

[@ForeverWhereAfter]

@@destinysisco3142 Yes, that seems like my best choice. The minivan I have now is a no-build and I could move all of that into a larger rig. Thanks.

[@Lois-o1f]

Brooke and Pipa did it in a CRV (2001 yr). I can sleep in any vehicle, like a VW beetle with a 75 lb. pup😮😂❤. Every car I get I have figured out how to camp in🎉. Where there's a will, there is a way ❤

[@Lois-o1f]

Start by with two nights away at first😊

[@pamelaanderson8168]

I love to do this. I have an rv. But scared of money to live

[@beautyinwandering2697]

Excellent information!!! I been a Nomad for 12 years spring,summer and fall.Last 2 years plus been full time.Semi retired and looking forward to be free and working to your next vedio on working on the road!😊

[@johnturnbull4022]

9:08 profound video, Robin! Thank you so much. You brought it home to many of us who follow you.

[@feliciahazelton754]

Well done Bird. Keep flying. If I were abt 20 yrs younger than my 77 I would hit the road…..even though 😮😮😮😮my 3 kids would think I’d lost my mind for sure. I too am an artist and could benefit from the freedom. B4 you tell me todo it, I am not secure in my health any longer…..sooo, I will just enjoy living through you.🥂

[@sarah_n_tank_girl]

As a single mom of three teens I'm stuck in hobby mode till they graduate but then full time it is. I'm glad you ranted about all those jerks throwing scare tactics to get views. I'm at the point I watch for entertainment and glean new knowledge here and there but in the beginning accurate information was key...and you were one of the 1st ones I subscribed to. Thank you for all the hard work you do to get us quality content - I truly appreciate it.

[@boxtruckhouse]

I love this lifestyle!

[@pianogal853]

I can't do it "as a hobby" because i can't afford an rv and a house - so i jumped off that cliff, and am glad i did! It hasn't been all roses, but still worth it.

[@Anne--Marie]

Robin, there are hundreds of thousands of people who are grateful for your sister's words of wisdom. You have saved many people from a slow, torturous death. Thank you

[@reonwatching]

God bless and thank you for all you do!

[@Terraducky]

I look forward to your next video! You are like a shining beacon of hope for me and so many others! Travel on!

[@randomspirit]

You're always such an inspiration, Robyn! I was mentally set to get an RV and hit the road this fall, but then the health problems (ie; vet bills) of my dogs, followed by necessary old age euthanasia ran up a hefty credit card debt, so I've decided to wait one more year while I pay that down because I don't want any debt payments on the road other than the cost of the RV. Beyond that, I want to keep my money flexible and fluid and my credit available. So, here I am, still watching and dreaming. LOL

[@pennylee6569]

Thanks for sharing ur video see yah Robin hugs always ❤

[@gbosearcher-3686]

Thank you , this was great. Sorry about your sister, my brother died almost a year ago from cancer. I sure miss him calling me when he was on the road ( he was truck driver) and saying Hi Sis and love you when he ended the call. He was a young 68.

[@DeannasDailys]

Thx Robin… I am trying my best to get into this life! I bought an old Moho, but it’s too old for full time travel.. so now I’m scrambling to upgrade to a truck so I can get a trailer. I’ve been watching you for a while now… dreaming about being free!!!! Today this video cemented that I need to do this. I’m in Canada, so need to figure it out for up here.

[@TinkerBell67]

Robin you are Amazing and I Love your content! I feel as if we’re old friends just from me watching your videos and we’ve never met! You are an inspiration to me and so many women desiring to solo RV! I’m getting things in order in my life to make my first RV purchase very soon. I’m blessed that I have 100% support from my family. I hope to one day meet you and talk over a cup of coffee sitting outside or sipping on a glass of wine around the fire pit. Until then Sister, please continue to keep inspiring us all!

[@karenmay4033]

❤ your channel & the message you bring Robyn. Keep moving. I'm very envious of you.

[@jopu643]

It may be 3-5 years before I get my wheels, but hopefully I’ll get to thank you someday on the road. Your KZbin channel has given me the inspiration to hit the road for adventure. Preparing a career for the road, narrowing down my choice of RV, and simplifying life to be ready. Got your book last year and need to read it.

[@lindaratzel7835]

Thank you so much! I too have been full timing for the last 6 years and absolutely love it! I do not see people quitting! If anything I see it growing!

[@jaxxentheexplorer4156]

Good for you Lady. Thanks for putting this out there. Its like living on another planet. 😊 Wish you the best and much success.

[@melissalee333]

You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@jessiehead6525]

PREACH, sister! You spoke so passionately and with such clarity, and every word rings true. In fact, it was so well said, I found myself wishing I had a transcript of it. I have heard you tell your story a few times, and yet each time it obviously comes straight from the heart. My story is similar. Thank you for putting yours out there.

[@candacepeterson8932]

Thank you Robin. You are so encouraging!!!! Sorry about your sister! Cancer sucks!!! I am planning on hitting the road next year. I do wish I would have thought of it sooner! I am so sick of all the noise of living in the regular world.

[@rvgrandmacharlotte4604]

Been living in my motorhome since 2004 when my late husband and I started Workamping. He has been gone 3 years now - hope to be back out on the road this month. Like you I can not see myself living back in a 'sticks and bricks'

[@WisconsinWanderer]

Wow Robin this one is a keeper for my favorite’s. Thank you thank you for being vulnerable and making this video I so appreciate you as always but this just validates why I live out of my van. I’m 66 and still work 20 hours a week so I don’t really leave my home state (hope to change that) I don’t watch the negative videos just great ones like yours,can’t wait to see next Sunday may have give up football for that😂 be well my friend ☮️🩵💯

[@johnw3629]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME video thanks for sharing this very important info, RV life is so strong now and growing BIGGER everyday. Thanks for all you do, and You " have happy travels and be free" from all of us in camping land 🏕🏕🏕

I’ve referred people to you and your KZbin videos for support and information about prospering in the RV life. You are an inspiration.
