Tour of Couple Living Cheap in a Cargo Van

Today we meet Jerry and Marsha, a retired couple who are living full-time now in a Chevy Express cargo van. Jerry had some health issues with his back that forced him into retirement and they both really wanted to see this beautiful country of ours, and doing it in a van seemed like the very best way to do it--so off they went. They both feel that their health has improved since they have lived in the van as stress dropped away and they became more active. Most of us find we walk a great deal more than ever before so being healthier is the natural result.

Thanks for watching!

Marsha and Jerry have the nicest demeanour. And I love hearing the sounds of their voices. 'Back when we were so poor, he was the entertainment.' I suspect that was probably a time when you also realised how rich you really are - no matter what you have. Amazing!

[@Happy-fu7fb]

😃You’re so right! Sometimes I find myself zooming through people’s story so that I can get to the vehicle tour; but, I watched this whole vid and I’m glad I did ... made me smile and feel happy for them.

[@mariettehc5586]

Lovely people

[@jeannegraham6742]

@CJ DUNROVIN ,

[@sawhaley3905]

I like seeing happy couples out doing what they love.

[@haroldfitz5146]

'I'm the boss if she's not around' LOL! I love those people! I hope I meet them someday. Another great interview MrBob. Thank you!

[@tammywines9789]

Omg they are my kind of couple . I love the mandoline, but I am a West Virginia girl. They are down to earth, honest , just lovely very talented human beings. God bless them .❤

[@vansvanandtravels7566]

Mine too!

[@dennisconrad6124]

I agree. It’s nice to see a couple that worked all their life and enjoying themselves, doing what they want.

[@cathyleegrantham-schreifel7269]

I fell in love with this wonderful couple. You can tell how devoted they are to each other. He’s the comedian and she allows it by being the straight man. Just adorable people. Thanks for posting this video.

[@lorib360]

'I'm the boss when she's not around' - ha ha! Jerry may just have discovered the secret to a long and happy marriage... Great couple! Thanks for the video.

[@RoamTownGirl]

They are hands down my most ❤ favorite ❤ couple that you have interviewed to date!!

[@annettefournier9655]

Omg they made me smile continuously for about an hour. So sweet.

[@joannenoble470]

God bless them. My husband Jerry and I wanted to be nomad also. Was a big dream for us. He was retired sickly. I retired in 2015. Early for me. We couldn't wait for 65 we just wanted to travel. We was married 46yrs. I lost him in August 😭 2015. I still feel the same way. Well thanks for listening. This couple made me think of my Jerry.

[@rosev.4463]

I'm so sorry for your loss😔 I dread the day. My husband of 41 years has got that cancer, and like the woman in the video I love him more each day. He's up a year more so far than doctors thought he'd have. Each day is precious.

[@brianasamuels]

God Bless and fill you with the joy of the good memories of life with Jerry and give you the courage to travel in the spirit of your husband!

[@tickytootoo453]

Peace be with you 🙏

[@franciesjoy1269]

Joanne Noble You can go on your own. Go in his memory.

[@tinlizzy39]

Joanne sorry for your loss and God bless you❤

[@dsrtquest]

This will be my first ever comment on KZbin. I was fortunate enough to meet Jerry and Marsha last winter at Ogilby (American Girl Mine) and also Ehrenberg and Q. It enriched my life immensely. Happy trails y'all! Hope we meet again someday. (Jerry Sanford)

[@laurarose5782]

OMG......Cutest couple ever. I love them. To me they represent the best of humanity: simple, loving, gentle, kind, humble, honest, intelligent and with a great sense of humor. They are an inspiration of how to live as a human being.

[@livilou6165]

Love this couple, they seem so sweet, praying for safe travels for them!😊

[@susanpeters4608]

Marsha and Jerry happy trails and thank you for sharing.

[@jontreacy941]

I met Jerry and Marsha this week. It was a pleasure spending a few days with them.

[@mikkiapplegate7637]

They are so humble and beautiful souls. Down to earth and you can tell they are so in love with each other. I enjoyed this video so much. Thanks for the smiles 🙂🙂🙂

[@mrbr549]

Beautiful people! I hope they get to spend many healthy and fun years enjoying themselves while seeing the U.S.A.

[@mistycunningham6772]

They are the cutest couple l ever seen...the look truly happy

[@mrc551]

Such a loving couple 💕the world needs more like them!❤️

[@bryan17293]

So nice to see this lovely couple enjoying retirement life on the road.

[@commoveo1]

How Great 👍 ♥️💚Bless them to pieces!!!

[@triciamacdonald9397]

What a precious couple. I could listen to him play that instrument all day. You can tell they truly love each other. It brought tears to my eyes. You don't see that alot with this generation. What a shame.

[@felixcat9318]

These lovely people have built themselves about the best lightweight hightop van conversion possible! With the new van and hightop there should be no problems, and having a very reliable travel cabin that will cover many miles over many years, they'll be able to enjoy their travels, meeting fellow travellers, exploring their new campsite locations, and most of all, they'll be doing it together and be healthier, happier and closer for it!

[@carolynnixon7095]

It's nice to see such a lovely couple living their best life. I understand their children wanting to keep tabs on their whereabouts.

[@KathieGross]

Thank you Jerry and Marsha for sharing your life. Thank you Bob for the interview. Brings a smile to my heart and hope of future travels. Bless you both.

[@ChrisOh]

They are cute together and I like the cover for the a/c outside!

[@kenhurley4441]

Great idea.

[@cosmokwong1262]

Me too, great couple & love the AC set up.

[@decaf4me2]

What an adorable couple! That was fantastic. Thanks for sharing that, Bob. Loved the intermission w/ the mandolin. And a great van build.

[@laurirohr5364]

What a wonderful couple! The a/c box that opens when needed for venting out the back is a stroke of genius. This interview left me with a big smile on my face😁. Thanks again Bob!

[@dianeboyd813]

What an absolutely lovely couple!! I loved this video ❤️❤️

[@bensonsspeedshop1191]

[@karene9131]

What a delightful couple...made me happy listening to them!😊❤️

[@timothyd.munday833]

What a great story of two sticking together and doing their dreams together.

[@ConnieMacks]

Now this is what it's all about! This couple are why I'm still looking to change my life. I love how she saw the change and went right along with it. OMG...a Mando too!!! How awesome was that? I wondered if I would be able to stash my guitar in a small van but looks like they don't have a problem. I wish my father had recognized the need to change before he succumbed to Alzheimer's. You guys have a great time and maybe I'll see you in the byway! She said "He spoils me." 3x in this video. Bless'em!

[@freeinFL]

What a sweet couple. “I’m the boss when she’s not around”, “He spoils me”. Heartwarming....

[@petuniaromania6294]

They need to be more social media active and networking with other couples and people like themselves; they will be a lot happier, especially her. Being Nomadic is VERY exciting and adventurous :) They are a cute and smart couple; I liked them very much :)

[@myfavoritethings1920]

Marsha and Jerry are so special... such beautiful spirits. I Like their bed set up. Would like to see more of them and their travels.

[@diasrvlife2649]

“I’m the boss if she’s not around” .... lol 😂

[@josekma1]

Ever so cautious.... Putting the fun in dysfunction clearly been together for decades, it shows in their positive attitudes.... People to love.

[@edithdavis2848]

A great couple. May they enjoy a long happy road.

[@wickerbillhomestead]

[@janiepeavey6506]

What a great couple !! So glad you were able to interview them! Loved his playing.. and listening to them joking with each other !

[@mariarooney6262]

Great to see older people have the courage to be a part of the family of van dwellers. It is very encouraging to me since I’m planning to on the road in about a month as a solo car dweller. Thank you so much for sharing your videos.

[@sadiejosiemom]

I'm glad they're out there living their dream to see the USA! None of us are promised tomorrow and so when you get that chance to live your dream you should go do it! Happy Travels to Jerry & Marsha!
