SUV Tour of Solo Woman Living Cheap in a SUV

[@LynnSJB]

It's amazing what little we actually need to survive vs. what we've been taught that we need.

[@garysteiner7450]

I love how she seems to have so much peace and tranquility

[@chads1067]

Gary Steiner you get that from being out in nature for long periods of time Im looking forward to this myself

[@juliepurpleskater1736]

This story really put my mind at ease about car-living. As a retired renter on a fixed income, I feel like I'm always one rent-increase away from being out on the streets. I own a Toyota 4Runner 4x4 that I plan to drive for the rest of my life. I've always known I could sort of "live" in it in an emergency, such as if my apartment burned down, for example. But seeing how Roxy has set up her SUV gave me a lot of ideas and inspiration, and made me realize that if it comes down to that someday, it can WORK, and actually work quite well. (I also liked the tiny little mini-camper trailer I saw in the background, but I like how she has everything within reach by keeping it all in one vehicle. More mobility that way, too.) Great interview, and what a cool, amazing lady.

[@MichelleJohnson-tg5lx]

Julie Purpleskater have them both. I am thinking like you. I would have to have a tent to attach for bathroom privy. :) Or a small enclosed trailer to set up a bath room and storage . But on Bob's show there is so many options . Yep rent increase suck.

[@jacksano369]

I hope it all worked for you. Getting ready to hit the road myself

[@dmsoundcollective6746]

Yeah I saw that little Mini caper in the background As well and I've researched those. Those are a great option for a single person and I've seen some with a single solar panel on them ;)

[@feyafern7234]

Roxy looks so happy, and she's done an amazing job with her home.

[@KRoseB]

Beautiful lady and great job highlighting her space. She exhudes peace and happiness. Thanks for this video!

[@KRoseB]

P.S. chuckled at the part when the dog trotted by behind Roxy carrying a big stick! Dogs, how could we be without them?

I love that Roxy considers her rig a "three-story mansion". It truly is, and she's a remarkable person. Thanks for introducing her to us, Bob.

[@ridelocalride]

Great video and very organized. I learned real fast that the more minimal you can live the easier and less anxiety.

[@Eric12358]

As a nine year "veteran" it looks like she has perfected the small space living. Brilliant. I also love the idea of being able to cook and eat a meal sitting in one place. So much more convenient. And her legs must be quite fit after sitting cross-legged all the time. Thats actually how humans were meant to sit.

[@marko1314]

On the subject of Comfort, Adventure and Disaster Zones one of the most valuable lessons I ever learned is "A Comfort Zone is a rut, and a rut is a shallow grave" - The most enjoyable experiences in life are always in The Adventure Zone where you push out your boundaries into what makes you feel unsure and uncomfortable - That is where REAL living is - Just be careful not to push into the third.

[@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531]

👍🥂

[@PittwaterMowingAustralia]

Roxy is proof that it can be done on a budget Thanks for sharing Bob

[@lisalevin8719]

She is just amazing! I've watched this one more than once - she is such a happy inspiration!

[@monkeynumbernine]

I am so excited to be doing this soon! I have a van and I am in the process of getting rid of my possessions. I always used to be attached to my possessions, but a few months ago, I realized that I was going to be changing my life and suddenly I didn't care about any of this stuff anymore 😀

[@someone5645]

Same here.

[@paulinag.2412]

Amazing!

[@TrendingTami]

I loved hearing Roxy's story, it is great to see so many women exploring the nomadic lifestyle! Also, your dog is so cute Bob, I would love to see more of him!

[@elizabethchavez2491]

Thanks to Roxie for sharing her carefree living. It has encouraged me and motivated me to know in the simplest things I too can succeed in what I may choose to do in this crossroad time of my life. Much peace and blessings to her. Thank you Bob for sharing this encouraging person with us all. Job well done.

[@CheapRVliving]

Thanks Elizabeth!

[@CheapRVliving]

Remember, if she can do it, so can you!

[@carolkeener995]

What a gracious woman! Love her generosity of sharing knowledge. Thank you!

[@BrokerBarbara119]

There is a parable that says, " Be content with what you have and do not fret for tomorrow for tomorrow will take care of itself!" A true contented minimalist ! What a clever idea the color coordinated privacy screen and mosquito screen ! Thank you again Bob & Roxy for a fantastic interview.

[@BrokerBarbara119]

:)

[@sarahjohnson3010]

I’m so pleased to have found a fellow Brit on this channel. Living the dream 💓

[@yogarobyn12]

Thanks Bob! Il'm loving these videos. It is nice to see women living the dream! It's giving me more confidence to just go for it!!

[@lorismith3072]

Thank you Bob and Roxy. As my son often tells me, magic happens outside your comfort zone. I love hearing about people who are able to live happily in a small space. And that maybe what I have to do for a while and like Roxy, I am an organization hound.

[@Wonderhussy]

My new hero!! I wish there were more adventurous women like Roxy!

[@ridelocalride]

Totally agree

[@JohnMason-Hill]

I just read her life story on her blog and what amazing person she is. I hope to meet her someday on the road. Thank you Bob (I hope to meet you to someday).

[@algray2604]

roxy is well organised and she seem to know what she wants wonderful .

[@barbaranneboyer4796]

great video. nice teardrop in the background. It seems to be mostly women who are car/van living...l'm guessing we are an organized self reliant, bunch. Blessing to all... thank you

[@allewal]

Roxy is very brave ! I love her home. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@joniloverin7343]

Love Roxies setup. I too use my wooden tray for so much, cooking, crafting writing. I used to travel summers in my Rav4 and it was set up somewhat like hers.

[@RameyRocks]

I love her!! God Bless her sweet soul!!

[@freedomrun9573]

Another quality video Bob! Well done! She is a master of using her limited space. For me long term I would need a permanent kitchen setup...I understand her love of the freedom of the 4wd as opposed to more space but space is very limited even for a small lady. My Highlights from the video:1) The advice she gives to women about expand your comfort zone but not too much. 2) Mattress on storage boxes! Easy build and maximising storage space is genius. 3) Cargo net storage can you buy these at Walmart? If not where? Cheers.

[@LwsNun]

She seems like a lovely lady. I brought my van today :)

[@debslifesimplified6406]

I can only hope my van stays this organized living in it. Very inspiring.

[@heartbeat59]

Outstanding interview! I love watching your videos. Thanks for taking us along.

[@glamorousfatcat2621]

What a Happy lady ! She knows what she wants and does it in such a simple way.....God bless her ...........As all of Bob's video, a big thumbs up! .....Michele

[@185Diannah]

I am haven't seen a Nomad used a SUV as a living space. She is very creative and inspiring.

[@CheapRVliving]

Yes she is!

[@ednasoares3616]

Wow! I am watching this because I have an SUV and want to sleep in it while building a little house. I think this idea is amazing. I keep wondering how much do a person needs to live. Basically very little, and believe me life becomes way better.

[@62WILDCAT]

" I AM open to infinite discoveries." Thank you SO MUCH for sharing all the great info here. This is taking away ALL my concerns ( were "worries" ! ) about my remaing years on this planet !! I'm a Gypsy by NATURE !

[@JaneDoe-ry3cs]

I built out my car from watching you Bob. I start out in 2 days. I WILL find you in my travels, I can't wait to learn more from you. I am very excited about my new adventure, I am finally going after my dreams. thank you for what you do, you truly make a difference in people's lives. God bless you, Bob!

[@ridelocalride]

Good for you. I did it on August 15, 2020 started in a 2014 Toyota RAV4 with the inspiration from Bob.

[@meganjones3514]

enjoyed it the first time around ,still an interesting lady and set up,can learn a lot from her. thanks again Bob ,kind regards John.

[@sappysamurai5170]

Lovely & inspiring! “My comfort zone is getting bigger and bigger.” And listen to your instinct. 🙏🏼🌷💪🏼💕

[@Nomadahtous]

I just love the ideas circulating here....

[@CheapRVliving]

She had a lot of great ideas!!

[@edwardlawsoniii2371]

I Loved it nice show!!! Very polite and well mannered was the interviewer and such a Beautiful soul the lady is

[@CheapRVliving]

She is a lovely soul Edward.

[@patriciagarcia1955]

Happy Trails Roxy and Bob

[@lindacrowley1405]

One guy used clear silicone said the heat didn't affect it as much as the velcro...peels off if need be

[@jacklalanne91]

Nice setup...And she is just as cute as can be...a living doll~* Kind Regards, Russ

[@chads1067]

the biggest eye opener is when you asked so you dont feel like you suffer? and then her answer. because ive always been renting in homes all my life i thought van dwelling or suv van dwelling would make me sad but then you look beyond that and realize you can travel to all these amazing small towns on the oregon coast and all over the country at will and not need to deal with noisy roommates or neighbors and traffic etc and you will be free as a bird to live your life then you realize aha this is true fulfillment

[@mariavictoria414]

Wow she is very organized. God bless her...it's amazing...thanks for sharing..😉😉

[@bugsbunny7710]

What a doll she is ,well lady so inspiring to listen to ,

[@whatsananna]

This was absolutely lovely. I have a Dodge Journey - I think about the same size - and this is helpful for me to at least start with. What a great video - thanks!

[@channelremoved1917]

She's such a sweetheart. Good for her.

[@PidasianHippie]

The common denominator of all the women you interview is that the best protection is instinct.

[@PidasianHippie]

***** Thank you Bob. We all need to be reminded of this.

[@chads1067]

Bob Wells such great advice we dont normally think of

[@2muchRnR]

Amazing and so creative! Thumbs up for this "happy camper"!

[@CheapRVliving]

Thanks, she is an inspiration!

[@tijuanagringo]

Thank you for this. When I make the change to living on wheels, it will be driving a used SUV (already have), and there are some excellent tips and advice in this video. Happy Trails!

[@CheapRVliving]

Glad to hear it! We love to help.

[@lilycherkaoui5423]

@@CheapRVliving when they say they are parking is it an rv park or camp spot and what is average cost to stay?

[@j.g8799]

....after I had finished watching 1/2 of this video, I salute to Roxy for a 'be happy' attitude

[@sweetpea3472]

What a great job she does living in a car!

[@GatorLife57]

Thumbs up.... ENJOY.... THE SIMPLE LIFE

[@babisssify]

One of the most organized person living in a car i have ever seen.

[@greghall14]

What an absolutely lovely lady. I would love to sit down and chat with her over a coffee just to learn more about her as she seems so at peace and comfortable with here life and where she is heading, wherever that maybe.

[@LRTexasBlueDot]

what a lovely pleasant lady! im coveting that 4x4 for sure! i love the idea of pushing your comfort zone a little at a time.

[@CheapRVliving]

It's tiny, but if you can adapt the mobility and MPG is great!

[@dingo7055]

What an incredible lady.... Thanks so much for sharing...

[@CheapRVliving]

She is a lovely person indeed.

[@mojavedesert2610]

Getting the most out of small spaces!👍 Another excellent video... Thank you for posting... Enjoy your show.

[@amyjoystudios]

Cody wandering around in the background... what a love he is... Hope I get to meet him someday (and of course Bob!) I’m about to move into my Kia and find Bob’s videos so inspiring. Thank you for all that you do 🙏♥️

[@dmsoundcollective6746]

This wonderful lady brings one word to my mind... Amazing. So fearless yet so gentle. You really inspire me

[@jannah4288]

Looking at this video again just now, I see Roxy's brown trays and realize I have a red one right across my livingroom that I can use to put my laptop on. Now this is more comfy, and better than having my computer on my lap or resting on the back of my couch :)

[@flutey28]

I love your videos. Thanks so much.

[@velindawm9987]

lots of good and simple and efficient ideas. thank you for sharing.

[@ayasoujae231]

You go girl! Happy trails 😁

[@goldieratliff6812]

I learned a lot from your videos Bob me and my husband are getting our first mini van going to fix it into a camper can’t wait get it from a friend cheap al most got him talked in to traveling firs big step is buying the van cant wait love 💕 your videos thank you for sharing with us you don’t know how much you mean to all of us safe travels we all love you for what you do

[@genevievedansante6273]

Thank you! I've been waiting for this one....very inspiring!

[@chads1067]

she really makes use of the space inside the montero very good job this suv is around the same size as most suvs like chevy blazers ford explorers etc this video shows you can live well in even a SUV she says she is lucky to be able to travel and live anywhere at will. amazing mindset.

[@heavenleesin13]

I love this I also feel this is so so educational for me I don't own any rv's but I love them and I admire all these folks that you put on here and talk about their experience. I am learning nomadic life...

[@mamafylees3344]

I really like her setup; one of the best so far

[@garineasly1258]

If you're still around Roxy, perhaps suggest sanding the plastic edges around her windows abit to give the glue a better surface to adhere to? Just a thought

[@garineasly1258]

Bob Wells anytime! I've been saving them all along as I work my way towards a van :)

[@garineasly1258]

Bob Wells also thank you for these videos. They really bring a since of community and in a way security knowing this isn't just some fringe lifestyle. Knowing there could be familiar faces really balances the worry.

[@helentucker6407]

Loving this series of video interviews. Very informative and inspirational.

[@janchapman3746]

Hi bob. Love this lady. She has it all. Im proud of her. Thank you bob for the wonderful videos. Love you cody and brian and family. Keep on keepin on. Love all the nomads out there to. May god bless everyone. Prayers is always with you. Yep. Face the fears. Pray. Then back to your comfort zone. We only have one life to live. Take it one day at a time. A big fan jan from texas.

[@pqlover]

I need this lady to organize my life!!

[@hermes6587]

Wonderful personality and so well organized.

[@gordogordo9120]

Bob. can I have a tour of your van? I would like to see your setup.

[@mimi1o8]

Very nice video. really nice lady. She seems so content and peaceful :)

[@MrMogustus]

This is so amazing. I’ve got a Mitsubishi Challenger and I’ve set it up in a similar way. Have a bed and I can sleep in full length. I’m about 5 feel 10 inches tall. Have a 35L fridge in it, drawer system, second battery but there are definitely some handy tips to take from this video. Thank you for posting this.

[@kj6dwx]

I’m currently rigging my Cherokee for long term travel. I had thought of putting a layer of plastic boxes to sleep on but then rejected the idea as inconvenient as I was going to store everyday items there. Your setup made me rethink and I’m ordering smaller plastic boxes for non everyday use, out of season clothes etc

[@greasytony9727]

That has it all. Including a 4x4. Very impressed.

[@lancenorton3747]

I really love the idea with the misquote netting.i have a jeep Cherokee sport 4x4 SUV that iam preparing for when I can become a nomad. I do have a huge roof rack already installed. But for a sleeping iam going to just slide in a mattress in the rear.i tried one before n it fit perfectly. I have my windows tinted and I have 99% eclipse curtains installed. I bought them @ Walmart. And have have curtains for the front n rear to install when sleeping. And I just used a tarp straps for the main hanger wear you run the rod through the curtains to hang up.just fished the tarp strap through. Then reinstalled the tarp hook then connected the tarp strap.makes it dark n nice n cool in the summer n nice n warm in the winter.

[@damianloder6080]

Beautiful lady, beautiful set up, beautiful life 🙂

[@charliewatson9581]

I just bought a 2003 Mitsubishi montero limited, this is exactly what I’d like to do. I am a little scared to live on my own, but there is no failure in trying. Thanks for sharing this video, it gave me examples and ideas of what I’d like to do.

[@albertl3776]

Very nice of her to share her way of life with us. I have done similar for trips lasting days and enjoyed the experience and look forward to doing it again. I do wish I learned more about when she was stuck in for days due to dust storms or other weather what she did to keep clean, #2, any occasional urban stealth camping? Oh well, maybe another video.

Thanks to you Bob and Ms. Roxy, another helpful video

[@TheLovelyRushka]

Love your "basement" idea!!!

[@homersyd]

not sure if Roxy would see this...for the flyscreen on the windows, maybe try using those little strong neodymium magnets from ebay on both sides of the glass?

[@TheMinot60]

If you have the glass up to attach magnets on both sides, what function would a screen have?

[@Eric12358]

"But you have to put stuff away immediately or it can become cluttered very fast" I know what she means! Great tip.
