Solo Female RVer & Born Free B+ RV TOUR 22 Feet (you won't believe the quality 😳)

Kathy gave me a tour of her Born Free 2009 Casual Elegance 22 foot RV. It's made by Born Free out of Iowa and this B+ RV is built like a yacht. I'm so surprised by the craftsmanship and quality of this Born Free RV with its fiberglass outer exterior including the roof and side steps. I was blown away by Kathy's beautiful RV and the modifications that she made to her RV to tailor it more to her liking and travel style as she travels around the United States this year.
Kathy also shares her story about being a solo female traveler, her boondocking experiences, the fear that many people get when starting out RVing full time, moochdocking, and Harvest Host locations she has camped at recently.

★ My Story
Hi, I'm Amber and in May 2017 I started full time RV living. I started this nomadic journey after selling my house and all my belongings to pursue this crazy dream of traveling full time in an RV and creating incredible memories.
After 1 year of traveling, I sold my 26 foot Winnebago Class C RV for a more nimble Class B van on a Promaster 2500 chassis. Now in my 4th year of RVing in my camper van, I'm still loving this RV lifestyle and being a digital nomad. I almost always boondock in nature and really enjoy that off grid living.

Yes Kathy you should start your adventures on KZbin include you dog. I own a home and Iam in process of selling it as Iam trying to figure out which system I should buy. Iam 60yo and not sure how much traveling I want to do. Your BORN Free home looks very nice. I first thought abought a Nissan cargo van or cargo trailer, but so many rules about where you can stay?? I see women travel by themselves it looks like fun. Born Free looks like it would be good for WA state winters, but Scottsdale, AZ would be nicer for October to May then go to WA for June to September. I live I WA state 2000 to 2001 we had lots of Rain & wind!! I think western WA is pretty, eastern WA more desert like but winters are very cold. Coldest winters are in Nebraska Iowa & Minnesota, so I would say western WA winters are not as cold as midwest winters.

Our first motorhome was a Born Free 24ft Rear Bath. Loved it!! We actually used our bathroom, both for showering and . . . well, you know. Did several years of research before buying it. The build quality and safety features were the deciding points. The founder of Born Free, John Dodgen, and his wife actually rolled their Born Free down an embankment while on a night trip. They were standing by the roadside when the emergency vehicles arrived. Totalled the Born Free, but they were saved by the roll bars. It's so sad that Born Free is no longer in business. :-(

Loved this!! Beautiful RV and lovely Kathy! I do want to add my thoughts about #2 in the toilet ... gah ... alert ... more about toilet issues than you might want to know! Anyway, I have lived and travelled in my 33 foot Winnebago Adventurer ... 8 months plus full time as well as a lot of 3-4 month, and assorted travels over 16 years. So ... poop does not remain solid if there is plenty of water :) ... and if you routinely dump black and then gray, the gray cleans the hose. I have never had an issue with a smelly hose ... really! And actually, the gray water smells worse than the black. One thing I do, is I do not put tp or anything other than what exits my body into the tank. I have a flip lid waste can, but after adding a bidet attachment to my home toilet, I thought ... huh, I could use the toilet cleaning thing to have bidet in the motorhome ... wash, don't wipe and you will never go back. There ... much, much more than you wanted to know, probably.

Being comfortable as you make your adventures is wonderful as well, but the point is just get out there and do it! I love it! Going to see if I have an adventurous girlfriend that will rent a cabin with me and just try it. See you at the fire!

dang! i really liked her camper and her modifications!

I was impressed by her set-up and fearless enough to travel alone. Safe travels!

I have a Born Free 24RB. I sold it once & bought it back. It’s a 2005. Best rig for single RVing. I feel so safe in it. Love the full size shower I have.

[@dreamseeker3783]

This is a great set up! Plenty big for a solo traveler. You're giving me more ideas.

[@kennedyc1977]

Great tour of Kathy's RV. Why did I love her CB radio so much?!

[@AmberJBaldwin]

Kennedy C LOL .... I know right!? I used to have one when I went to college. Those huge bag phones were just coming out then. That was 1989. My handle was "Red Racer" because I had a red Honda CRX with a major lead foot! lol

[@eleanormassaro5195]

@@AmberJBaldwin LOL! When I was about 14 my parents had a CB radio on one of their trucks and when we would go camping or on road trips, my Moniker was sunshine girl! That was so much fun! Miss those old days!

[@kennedyc1977]

@@AmberJBaldwin Amber, I think you need to include that story in a future video. My dad had a CB in his car when I was growing up. I would use it under the handle "Grape Ape" because I liked the cartoon show.

[@3generations393]

I love her & her rig! We think direction the same-she's turning left to go out west 👍 Great interview-thanks. 🙏✌🌎💞

[@lisac7191]

What an incredible lovely lady but especially if ur a 1st time camper or somebody like me considering doing this for first time u would hope to end up parked next 2 such a lovely & knowledgeable woman like this. What an awesome lady. Xx

[@miniskooliewanda]

Great tour! Amber you asked the right questions...great rig and great lady! I hope to cross paths with her some day. Thank you both for sharing!

[@AmberJBaldwin]

I hope so too!

[@dogcatparty7371]

May 2021 This home looks cozy and practical!!! You two would probably enjoy talking with 'My Basic Journey.' She might have good tips about good places to stay with a dog. She started from the West Coast area and has to be careful about her health. G'Day

[@callieduval3000]

Great rv and I love her spirit she is fearless and carefree doing her own thing and enjoying her life. I'm doing my research now so once I start I'll be well prepared and know what to look for in getting a sturdy rv with a well built functional interior

[@lindasteinbrenner8065]

What a magnificent RV! And what a lovely, gracious lady! So glad to see someone that is close to my age group having such an adventure! ❤️

[@debraambrose7008]

Yes, this is something I have been wanting to do for awhile now. It's very encouraging. TY

[@karenoster8291]

Really enjoyed today's video & checking out Kathy's "Born Free" RV!

[@AmberJBaldwin]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sandyperley3786]

That was an awesome interview and tour, thanks to you both Amber and Kathy. I am just 4 months away from retirement and hope to also spend quite a bit of time on the road and my 2004 Born Free!

[@AmberJBaldwin]

That’s so cool that you have the same one. Good luck in your adventure.

[@donnaorsini8227]

I love this woman. Very nice rig. Thank you amber for another great interview

[@carriejansen7935]

Oh my God I am absolutely in love with this rig, my husband just bought me a bus to convert and now that I just seen this rig I would much rather have this rig just for me and the dog to travel then the gigantic bus thank you so much for showing us around your home

[@debbieseiffert]

Love when serendipity happens! ( I know what Amber will be looking for next 😉) Kathy is a doll thank you for sharing her and her rig with us!

[@christinestephenson1742]

Kathy, what a great RV you found! It will last for years more because it was built so well. We have been RVers for 10 years but I don't think I've ever seen one of these! Enjoy your trip in your Born Free!

[@jeanroeder5534]

One of the nicest RV, thank you Kathy.

[@lizzieg.7316]

Thanks for the tour Amber and Kathy - what an extremely well made RV! Amber, I shower outside all the time with the Aktiv - i put the teak floorboard from the bathroom outside and use the kitchen sink faucet - works great!

[@AmberJBaldwin]

Thanks for the tips! Oh darn I can't believe I never thought of putting the teak floorboard outside! Thanks so much for that. I'm totally stealing your idea! lol

[@lizzieg.7316]

@@AmberJBaldwin And I put your sand rug (thank you for that recommendation!) underneath the teak floorboard ;)

[@MissFancyClancy]

Wow, what a beautiful rig. I'm not sure I've seen one like this before. I can't imagine what this beauty sold for when new. This is a real tressure for her as she travels the USA. Great video! ♡

[@elleningalls5434]

I think she's extremely smart keeping her house. Not sure about renting house out though. I wouldnt be comfortable with that. But i think keeping a place in case is a great idea. I do like her idea of traveling for just a year or 10 mths and seeing what you want to see. Thats a good idea. I like the original build and what she's done. If i had one id love the bed to be at the very back and to have maybe 2 more chairs where her bed is. But i do kind of love it.
