TINY HOME TOUR | Solo Female turns Vintage RV into Modern House for OFF-GRID LIVING

Tour my tiny home! I turned a vintage RV from the 80's into a stylish, modern tiny house for full-time off grid living. In this video, I'm giving you the full tour of my tiny home on wheels. The Toyota Dolphin is just 21 ft long, the same size as a typical cargo van, but there is more room inside then you'd find in a van tour. This small RV is perfect for living that van life.

WHO AM I?
I’m Abigail Rodriguez, call me Abi on the ROADriguez, photographer, artist, Ride + Seeker. The road has been my home for 4 years.
After 3.5 yrs traveling North America, living in a van with my wife, Natalie, it was time for a change from that 80 sq ft living space. Instead of settling down, we decided to get a second vehicle! My pup and I are now going solo in a vintage RV. Sometimes I’ll be caravanning with my wife, other times with my girlfriend, sometimes all of us together...that’s right, wife AND girlfriend. (YES, they are both aware + fully supportive). It’s called polyamory. Google it. 😉
By living and sharing the story of my unusual life, I hope to inspire you in your own life. Subscribe to my channel, and together, let's play ride and seek.
ALL LOVE, NO HATE
I love my LGBTQ+ friends and have founded a platform for queer nomads, check out @VANLIFEPRIDE on INSTAGRAM

Hey my dear, I have 3 of these campers, two of them have they same layout as yours. Wanted to let you know that your hose to dump your Dolphin gets stored in the square bumper. The end of the bumper opens up and the hose lays in a half plastic pipe inside. If you have any other questions, I would be happy to help .

This is by far my favorite tiny home! What you did with an older motor home is amazing I’m currently in a remodeled 70s nomad TT and I always have an urge to upgrade to something new but your video makes me appreciate what I already have, awesome awesome home!

[@robertwhite9898]

You did amazing job on personalizing the inside 😊 I always liked those small motor homes . They are the perfect size for a single person & easy to maneuver & easy to maintain. Unlike the bigger ones . Which are nice but expensive to operate & maintain.I’d say you got a good one & it’s definitely a keeper. Those are a sought after. Can’t beat Toyota reliability.

[@brendagreen4132]

Just returning from a trip west to Moab solo in my 24 foot class c. Documented as much as I could on my channel. Still en route back east. Driving more than 4 hours is tough for me and the mountain passes were very tiring.

[@Novaheart1998]

Cool RV, I have seen these Dolphins here and there in the used RV market. I have a 1988 RV , its a FORD but it has a V8 and its pretty fast. I only use it for camping though :) It has not been rennovated. I guess it will be eventually.

[@kc3989-l1j]

Abi, I also noticed you have an outdoor awning. Your tiny house is fully equipped. Does it also have the option for a generator? Love it. Good job!

Nice tiny home, hope we get to see Nat again

[@QueenBaha]

🌸🌷GORGEOUS!! What an oasis hun!!! Few questions: how many fuel gallons does it take?, how many miles are you getting per gallon?, when you dump the black tank how do you clean the hose? Can you do a water/bleach flush to clean it how does that work? Lastly, how in the heavens did you find this r/v GEM?!?!?!?😮 I mean like a Toyota engine whaaaaaaat so easy to fix for the most part and verrrrrry reliable engine🎉thanks for being the sunshine ☀️ in my day love🌷🌸

So I have lived for the last 4 years full-time and my 30 ft RV with a 3500 watt generator and my four and a half pound Chihuahua named Esperanza Margarita Delgado the third and I love every minute of it I'm totally with you I love your vibe totally cool camper you would be a cool chick to hang out with when I'm on the road but thank you for sharing and I am a little bit jealous because you do have a pretty sweet ride mine's a little bit different it sleeps eight has a full shower bathroom kitchen two full size beds two queen size beds but it's still the same thing just same problems just more volume LOL so when I dump I've got 40 gallons of black 40 gallons of Gray and 40 gallons of water to fill up and it lasts me usually a month but anyway this is super entertaining thank you for sharing 🤗❤️✌️🚐🇺🇸
