This is my best friend. We've been traveling together since we met at HOWAs BYOV in October. She is an amazing, resilient, intelligent and brave woman. I'm so proud to be her friend.

[@debireginabroughton9982]

She is so blessed to have a sweetheart like you ...thank you for being a friend...

[@mikestanmore2614]

She is amazing. You are both very lucky to have such a friendship.

[@Marypoppins321]

You can see that she is an amazing woman. Good for her to enjoy her life regardless of a disability. She inspired me. Thank you and safe travels❤❤❤

[@JustDoingChelle]

I’m going thru clearing out and giving away things now. I thought it would be quicker. Ha! Jokes on me. I’m dealing with leaky seals and 32 years of boxes of memories with kids. Documents, pictures. It’s a process. She is encouraging. I appreciate that she shared her story. You guys are blessed to have each other. Many blessings to all of you 🙏🏼

[@lagreengavanlife]

Aww that’s so nice to have such an amazing friend that you feel you can share and tell everyone what a wonderful person they are. You are an awesome friend to have. 😊

[@bobouellette3414]

It's just wonderful to see how many people have found van life's choices to survive life's struggles

[@dorindachristian9134]

She seems like such a lovely human being. May she be blessed in all her experiences.

[@sherylmarshall2602]

So proud of you. I had a stroke and became disabled in 2001 as well. Since that time I've had 3 additional strokes. I live in my van also, now a little over year. HOWA helped me as well, with solar power and 12 v fan back in October. I will be 74 in May and going strong. Hope to meet you on the road.

[@maryk790]

She is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo SWEET and INSPIRING GREAT video Bob THANKS

[@gratefulgram]

Bless her for being courageous and getting out there! May the good Lord keep her safe in all her travels. Much love and many blessings everyone

[@bethhayes1]

Im 67 and will be retiring from nursing in 3 years. Im going to trick out my honda crv and hit the road. Will do some mini trips before then,. Plan to hit every national park in our beautiful country. Kudos to this strong, brave lady!

[@janetkoball44]

A very nice gal who is living her life as she pleases. A beautiful smile and a happy heart. I really am amazed at how much comfort she has in her short van. Thanks Bob for featuring her.

[@RV-there-Yet]

LOVE this woman🥰~ Her "why" is super clear & positive; "You either keep going, or you don't"..."someone says you can't do it, just prove you can"...🎯Words to live by right there.

[@joannajanes2781]

Absolutely! 😊😊😊

[@adventurebythemile]

I had a stroke when I was 43. I have a minivan and I’m ready to go! Love her little van!!

[@samreh6156]

Very touching to watch. This lady should be a role model for many. I really admire her. Thank you Bob.

[@garyabell3456]

Right! I just loved her! Made me feel better just listening to her! What a vibe!

[@kennethgardner3090]

I stand six foot three, but the truth is, I look up to people like her, and others on this channel.

[@OverlandOne]

What a pleasant woman, out there living the dream. Ginnie, just like all the others Bob interviews, is smiling, has a great attitude, and appears very happy to be where she is. I wish her many great times and safe travels.

[@bridgetmuehlberger5141]

Love her set-up! Small, completely functional, neat and very well organized! I want one like that!! ❤

[@stormdavies250]

Love that your dad put his brand on the counter top. 😆

[@CuttingCrossCountry]

What a lovely lady! Gives me hope for my very near future life!

[@onefreelife]

She's a beautiful lady. I wish her all good luck

[@lincolndotson3613]

She seems truly happy. Her smile says it all.

[@nancysweigart4123]

She's a gem

[@dionmoore879]

Surely an infectious smile. I found myself smiling , watching this one.

[@jessiehead6525]

Ah…she’s adorable. What a great smile. And I love her set up! Like you said, the “L” shape counter is smart.

[@BeautySolutions4u-]

Love Jenny, hope to meet her one day.

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

fellow Transit Connect owner here. That's a great build! It's not your typical style. So it's giving me ideas.

[@SharonDonner-iu6wi]

You are such an inspiration. I am a little afraid of "Bad People" it is a little dangerous ,, I am old but I know from watching this program it's getting in the group's & having fun. THANK YOU. ♥️♥️♥️

[@utahhomessandygeorge-realt9082]

Very nice! Love your smile Jenny!

[@tigerguitara]

Beautiful home - thanks for the tour ❤

[@zanesthename]

Bob is doing a great thing for a huge number of people.

[@donnabacon4681]

Adorable! She shows regardless, it can be done! 30 mpg - WOW! Amazing!! Never knew! Happy Travels! Be safe and keep smiling, Jenny!!

[@TaraMCali]

I just left Quartzsite. There for a month. Great vibes and people out there boondocking. Never did I feel it was unsafe. I have a larger RV but always look at the smaller ones and yes I see there is way more freedom the smaller you go for sure. ❤ ✌️

[@kathyred3310]

Thank You for sharing your van and a little about you. I have some illnesses that require a doctor visit once a month. One for an injection with a big needle harpooned into my butt cheek and one is for pain. I also take 6 oral meds daily. In some ways I feel like a hostage to my meds. I gotta do something! Even if they are sort 3 week trips.

[@rosamundg.3789]

Nice exchange in conversation--Bob so encouraging and Ginnie sharing her experience!

[@oldermanvanner4026]

Thank you Bob and Jennie for the interview and showing of your lovely van.

[@sparkleplenty6735]

Beautiful van conversion.. Looks pretty neat as well as cozy ❤😊. I'm so inspired by you ladies❤😊

[@leeharrison8790]

I have a 1983 V8 Chevy box truck camper that was a one ton Chevy G30 motor home before the custom work .. the motor has less than 90 thousand miles on it .. & I am now building my dog & I a tiny 4X4 Samurai overland custom motor home to replace the gas gosling Chevy .. T thank her for sharing her reason for down sizing .. that's my reasoning as well .. I don't want to fill up & drive 300 miles & wait for the next month retirement check in order to go another 300 miles .. that's not the life standard I want to be stuck with when I can do something better !

[@OhHapppyDaay]

Hey lady! Nice to see your cheaprvliving interview uploaded. Nice to see you! I feel like I'm right there with you's. You are a true inspiration to all of us. I love your cheerful countenance and upbeat, welcoming attitude. Only one thing is missing...Where's your ferocious dawg? LOL

[@castirondreams]

Have the same van. Her setup is a bit better! Haha She has great insight and attitude towards being nomadic! Best of travels to her and the rest of the nomads out there!😎🤙

[@cathietonkin5577]

Sooooo nice!!! Proof you don’t need to go big to live comfortably! Sending many good wishes to this lovely Lady!!!

[@jaketanner20001]

[@vanessahenry7238]

ANOTHER Great interview Bob ! Ginny is delightful ! Love her Home ! Many Blessings.

[@daynadiggle8169]

Bless this lovely lady and may the good Lord watch over her and keep her safe . And a mouth full of raspberries to our government for making her and other disabled people wait so long for the help they need .

[@annag467]

Wonderfully wise, and great smile lady ✨️

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

I like the pretty curtains, lightweight.

[@jondonahue7163]

I also have a 2013 Ford TC... and am very inspired by her L-shape table. Thanks for this video. Less is more!

[@KCSmith1]

That's encouraging. I'm on disability also

[@SherylAZ]

What a lovely woman and beautiful attitude. 😍

[@recordingroadtrips]

Wonderful, it's really all you need! Would even be perfect for stealth camping and getting around easily here in Europe, where the streets are so much more narrow than in the US. :)

[@marlenesabillon5278]

BRAVE WOMAN 🌹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏

[@BrendaLee8]

Thank you

[@lsfogel1]

Inspiring woman🙏 Thank you Bob🤙

[@susanhiggins1940]

Bless you!enjoyed your rig and your video

[@bque9444]

Nice and streamlined. I like yourdog sign. At what store did you get it? A grandparent of mine had a stroke and was paralyzed on all of their left side. They walked with cane. You get out and go, girl! Bob I wish you would cover your guests' smoke/CO detectors and fire extinguishers, and tire changing tools even though not exciting topics. I would bet that most drivers do not know if they have a Complete set of tire changing tools. I have bought used vehicles that were missing part of those tools. So that is one of the first things I now check, in addition to making sure that I carry a Full sized spare tire (not donut tire) and that has decent air pressure. Even if a driver may not be able to physically change a tire, at least they have the tools so that someone else could help them (and their pet passenger). This is especially true if a spare tire is up underneath a vehicle.

[@Server_unavailable]

I am still watching but this lady is beautiful and has such a great attitude and spirit❤❤❤seriously considering a year off (or more 😅) soon to do this...

[@JeffeysMom]

Very nice! I travel in my wheelchair 2010 dodge grand caravan, but I am not a minimalist. The things I have in my minivan would not fit in her van. Awesome job it’s very cute.👍🏻❤️🚐

[@lishiewilliamson227]

This lady is just a load of inspiration ❤her way of taking the bull by the horns saying very uplifting and motivational personality Have Fun stay Safe. ❤❤❤

I'd like to do an L shaped countertop in my van. I love that! Thanks for sharing this tour. 😊🙋‍♀️
