She is so much more than fearless, I could see in her eyes at the end there, she is an endless well ferocity. I admire her.

[@edt11x]

"People have gotten so confused with accumulating things, when in fact memories is what life is all about." -- I like that a lot.

[@jaimhaas5170]

Well put Ed---and the court system is clogged with people fighting over "stuff".

[@lynneb.r.6176]

Some memories are so painful to me that I go buy pretty trinkets to keep them safe from you ..taken from confessions of an over purchaser of stuff. Be well too.

[@dadautube]

@ Edward Thompson: memories! can't live with them, can't live without them! :-)

[@Onlinesully]

what if your memories are awful though

[@nomansland4811]

I’m not confused. I like my stuff and I use most all of it.

[@PidasianHippie]

Since I ended up getting a Casita for my mode of traveling, I was happy to see this tour with Karen. Thank you Bob and Karen for demonstrating how to live long term in the Casita.

[@billymernit2205]

Thank you Karen for letting us into your home! It's as beautiful as you are. I hope you're alive and well and flourishing in these troubled times.

[@mariag3104]

Love how she decorated her Casita. Her personality is everywhere and like her I'm also a visual person.

[@clararomero1089]

Her place looks very comfortable and inviting she's very smart I was amazed how she did the curtains to black out the light in the air to keep them nice and tidy.

[@Myyt6908]

if she enjoys seeing beauty, she should look in the mirror, she is a beautiful woman. really enjoyed seeing her home.

[@arroyobaby38]

Maribeth P _ Oh my goodness I thought the same thing. What a beautiful lady.

[@styx62ga95]

Shes got my vote 👍🌹

[@mbd6054]

That's true.

[@hlogan5097]

Smart, beautiful lady

[@thebestisyettocome4114]

What I take from Bob's video today, is a well round lady who loves life, and her home. Thanks for sharing today. Happy weekend to all.👍

[@rootmebb]

Mr. Elmer Jackson You too.

[@fabulousfoundations3507]

I just love her home it's one of the most inviting comfy cozy ones I've seen just great

[@phlemphlam574]

Looks super cozy. Love how she implemented the elastic for the curtains and the cutout for the ceiling vent to block out all sunlight and privacy.

[@judyjudyjudy9593]

Bob you are soooooooo good at interviews!!! I'm not going to break it down, but when you are finished with your interviews I feel like I know the person pretty good. LOL Judie

[@sagrammyfour]

The key words are "I don't need it." I love the idea of having only what one wants or what is essential.

[@bevr2164]

I really like the swivel comfy chairs and small table, in addition to the dinnete under bed. We have a 27ft Dutchmen, Adirondak with couch slide out......nothing is comfortable to sit in. Can't wait to lay down in bed at night. Would love to find Karen's club chairs and table to replace our uncomfortable bench seat dinnete.

[@TrevorMarty69]

I really like her place and her spirit. I hope she heals quickly and well.

[@scotnick59]

Me as well

[@smallfootprint2961]

She just has a glow to her. Lovely to see her home and to hear a bit of her story. Nice thing about a little trailer like this is you can put it in a temporary set up like this, although, many cities might frown on it. I lived in trailers much of my childhood and none with a bathroom. Cool little set up. I like the use of the gray water. Water the trees and plants. So cute. It suits her.

[@larryj8924]

Yeah, if you live in any kind of dwelling with associations, they mostly won't allow Rv's in driveway or front yards. I visit in the Chandler, Az area and can't even park my pickup with connected 16' trailer on the street overnight, very strict. I get it, most folks don't want to see Rv's.

[@badbiker666]

(13:33) "People have gotten so confused with accumulating things when in fact memories are what life's all about." I agree, and that's probably the reason why I haven't yet started living in a trailer. I have too many memories, in the form of photos, mementos, and literature from my past and my travels. My wife and I have two daughters. I have dozens of albums and thousands of photo documenting their childhoods. They are both grown now and very busy with their own families. Neither have any room for the photo albums, so they take up a lot of space in my current house. One of these days I am going to have to go through each one and throw out the duplicates, the photos of places that don't have any family in them, photos I took on the job (I don't even remember the names of the people in any of those pics), and the pictures of old friends with whom I have lost touch. My kids might be interested in what's left. I spent almost 10 years working at jobs that kept me traveling around while my wife and children stayed in the house. I got to experience almost the entire United States. And get paid for it! As a result, I collected photos, post cards, patches, pins, t-shirts, caps, and other collectibles. They represent the 48 states I was able to visit. Hawaii and Vermont are the only two I have missed. I even got to go to one or two foreign countries as I worked. A lot historical sites sold books that describe their history in exquisite detail. So here are all these trinkets that I love. I pull them out occasionally and reminisce. But I was alone on those trips. My wife and kids have never seen 99% of those places, so they don't care. No one has ever voiced the opinion that they want to go to those places, so the tales of my travels bore them. So I have a ton of stuff that mean a lot to me, but not to anyone else. And almost none of it would fit in a trailer. Right now I am semi-retired. That means I still have bills to pay, so I have to work, but I do as little of it as I can get away with. I am an independent contractor, so I set my own hours, and even though I have to satisfy my clients, I only work when I want to. Some day I will finally be fully retired and on Social Security. I'm eligible, but not ready to start collecting. And when that day comes, I am going to have to purge myself of a LOT of that memorabilia and take with me only the most precious; the things without which I just can't live. They aren't THINGS to me. They are memories, and because, at my age, remembering the past is getting more and more difficult, I need those things to relive my joys.

[@Sue3565]

Love this! One of the best tiny house living video's I've seen. What an awesome and graceful lady. You can just tell how content and happy she is.

[@heidigib01]

What a wonderful little home she's created. Kudos

[@SandraNelson063]

The legs for the end of the storage slider are GENIUS!!! Such a well organized storage arrangement in the truck makes life in the Casita a lot better.

[@adventurousspirit6628]

What a wonderful free spirit, I enjoyed your interview of her, and the tour of her cozy sweet house. Thanks Bob.

[@DorothyGTyas]

Amazing lady living an amazing life--on her terms🍃❣🍃

[@moonlitedaze5688]

-This may be my favorite , Karen has some great ideas. Thanks alot Bob and Karen!

[@eddymahon1503]

I love her set up. Looks so cozy and comfortable. She is a very attractive lady!!! And inspirational

[@jamiewilcox.506]

Karen, you've made a lovely little home with your excellent organizational skills. Many small homes look a bit "junky" but not this one! Kudos and happy trails to you! 😄

[@kathleenbuckley4338]

Those heat/light curtains are the BOMB!

[@flpirate45]

Karen did a great job on her trailer, and love her style and way of life. Great video.

[@julierawlins5984]

What an interesting, handsome woman. Loved her rig and style. Another great video Bob. Thank you.

[@creekjonsun]

When you pulled out the slide out drawers on your truck, it reminded me of a "Helms Bakery" truck of my childhood ( doughnuts, bear claws, twists, fritters, Bread) Yum :)

[@liddlekiddle1962]

I LOVED the Helms Man growing up in the 1960s in Southern California! Yum is right! The smell alone was great!

[@rnkim2564]

Me too, helms man in his van with pull out runners, socal 1960's. Fresh made chocolate donut, could play outside all day, and not worry about gangbangers, child molesters and kidnappers. Wow

[@lisad2701]

Liddle Kiddle...1960s southern California (Huntington Beach) Helms Man brings memories back for me too!

[@liddlekiddle1962]

Lisa D... We lived in Orange at the time. What a different world it was back then like RN Kim mentioned.

[@lisad2701]

Liddle Kiddle...you aren't kidding! I used to ride my horse on Bolsa Chica Beach. It was paradise. Then, they paved paradise and put up a parking lot. I was always one step in front of the urban sprawl. First move to Norco and then east of Temecula back when the 15 was a 2 lane highway. I got weary of moving so did the final BIG one - to 36 acres in the Ouachita National forest, Arkansas.

[@blessedhope9756]

Karen , you have a beautiful travel trailer! Love your style and organization in it ! Thank you for sharing.

[@ftkinsella]

What a beautiful person and of course she is a pagan. Such wonderful people that love life and care about the world. Great interview Bob. Cheers!!!

[@MenAtWorkMedia22]

Thank's, Bob!

[@tinascott3892]

Karen is very nice , love her camper, I'm learning alot about the many different types of campers ,Thanks Bob.

[@elainefleureton5536]

Enjoyed this very much. Warm and comfy. Love how she did the drapes. Thank you Bob!

[@OziMarika]

Lovely little Caravan aka RV. A lovely lady living her life to the full.Thanks, Bob.

[@TheAntiDoteNZ]

Best interior for its brightness and cheer. 👍

[@kw2756]

I so enjoy spending time listening to your interactions with like-minded ppl. Thx for sharing.

[@zenandink3531]

Beautiful home!!! So cozy and warm!!! Really amazing what some people can do with their little space--wow!

[@madeinmichigan6773]

Hi Bob, Great tour. Could you please tell these sweet ppl that have so spaces but use of a toilet in their rig that they can bag their toilet and be more comfortable than sitting on a tiny bucket. Especially handicapped or older. The toilet bowl can hold a bag just as easily as a bucket. Then no need to waste valuable space with buckets 😊

[@deborahhailey6260]

I love Karen's home, it's so cozy. Thanks for sharing Karen and Bob. Enjoy life!

[@janetmorehouse5800]

What a great little home! So cozy... love this!

[@sue22261]

Love Karen's Casita!❤️

[@danijohnson1038]

I love the Casitas! She has a beautiful home there. I really miss New Mexico, so this was a pleasure to see. Thank you Bob! One of the things I plan on saving up for is a Casita.

[@marymcquaid7291]

This lady has got wonderful taste. Love the chair covers and thermal curtains. Thanks for the inspiring video.

[@rexg2985]

Love the corner altar! The casita looks so much bigger on the inside than the outside! Love the string lights too! Great video again!

[@joycebarnett3954]

Wonderful home with her casita trailer and she has made it so homey. Great video again. Thanks for sharing. It really looks bigger than it is. Wonderful job making it a great home.

[@poppygallagher8521]

So nice to meet her and learn about her lifestyle. Bless you both for sharing! Love your channel Bob.

[@cavscout62]

What a Beautiful, Smart, and Warm Woman she seems to be. Fantastic Home she’s created!

[@dominickbundy6429]

Casitas and Airstreams are my two favorite travel trailers,, (Especially the the Casita Liberty) She has created a nice little set up , for herself there..

[@jennym007]

What a beautiful home! This lady looks so comfortable and happy. I could certainly live like this. 💜

[@marthamurray4480]

I just love this lady and her way of life her home is just the cutest thing I've seen it's so homecoming

[@lpatrick99]

Love her casita! Thanks for sharing Karen & Bob.

[@kiwicomposer]

Re 'bucket toilets' I use a pool noodle for the top edge. I just cut a length to go around. Cut a slit all along the length and it clips over the top edge giving a very comfortable 'seat' edge

[@LynnSJB]

Such a likable, practical lady! I love her set up!

[@orangeziggy599]

Karen is gorgeous, and I really enjoy seeing how beautifully she decorated her home.

[@Japhill75]

Yep... enjoyed the tour as much as the interview... thanks again👍👍👍

[@DroryNadav]

Bless Her Heart,As Always Thank You Bob

[@TheGlampingGuys]

That is such a cool little camper. Thanks for sharing! Peace! 🌈🌈

[@gladyshernandez2389]

I like the name Casita - the Spanish word for little house. Cozy home and a very pleasant owner.

[@lillypatience]

i love her! she’s inspired me to rearrange how i use the space in my casita, hang curtains and stuff on the carpet wall! curtain hooks! brilliant!

[@aprilasbahr]

Yes indeed. Karen inspired me beyond words. I really connected with her and her home. Thanks so much to both of you.

[@bluespruce786]

All of you wonderful folks have this "lightness". In the way you move and talk and in your eyes. Really wonderful and hopeful to see, thanks for posting and sharing a bit of your lives♥

[@NewYawkahBroad]

This is such a cozy and beautifully styled Casita. More and more I feel the pull to live off grid but cannot get my husband on board. I'm so sad.

[@Diana-tf5xq]

NewYawkahBroad ditch him haha xxx

[@kathleenbuckley4338]

Awww, don't give up! Put together a cool ride with creature comforts he'll love. He won't be able to resist.

[@debicaron6046]

Do it on the weekends with Hubby..He might come around.

[@kathyworden9009]

@@debicaron6046 or get a small camper and go on the weekends by yourself

[@curtisgrindahl446]

What a delightful woman she is... definitely a free spirit. And once again we see how fine the Casita trailer is as a wanderer's home. Thank you Karen and all the best in your travels. And, of course, another thank you to Bob for sharing this video with all of us. You are an inspiration for a great many people. I love seeing your subscriber list growing and growing. Enjoy Colorado and keep the videos coming...

[@rhondaw.8097]

Thank you Karen for sharing your home! I love it!

[@allewal]

What a great little home ! Love the altar ......

[@jkoenig24]

Casita's are wonderful little units. I started RVing in a new, 2010 17' Casita Spirit Deluxe. I bought it to facilitate my first trip to the Burning Man Festival in NV. I had a GREAT time! I bought the Casita because I could pull it with the Toyota minivan I then had. I drove 50,000+ miles over four years, just doing extended-time RVing in my Casita. I've since "graduated" to a 2015 Dynamax DX3-37RB Super-C Class diesel puller but, I've recommended Casitas to many people looking to get started RVing. The Casitas (and Scamps) are a great way to "test the waters" before spending a lot of money buying a more traditional trailer or motorhome or, as Karen has shown, even living full-time in one. I hope Karen has a quick and complete recovery from her fall.

[@susanmaguire4452]

Darned difficult to find used, might have to go new.

[@jelinaross1850]

Karen I love your home I'm looking forward to getting one and going off grid you are a blessing to me how you fix your home like a little house thanks for sharing God bless you always !

[@lillianballard4422]

She is so creative. Enjoy her. Please tell her. Thanks.

[@jaimhaas5170]

Fun stuff to watch! Thanks for getting this to us!

[@marshmom2001]

Your home is AMAZING!!!!!

[@barbarabuford5795]

Yes she is beautiful, pleasant, loves Life, and the little things. The Little things add up to the Bigger and BEST things life has to offer! 'Enjoy' Karen, I hope to own a Casita too one day, and live the adventure, LOVE THEM! 👍♥️

This video was inspiring. Thanks Bob and to Karen. Loved her little cozy home~

[@joaniechevalier5851]

Such a cozy little home. Thanks for all the ideas Karen!

[@RedRoadgifts]

Beautiful Casita !! Love her story

[@bluespruce786]

The seemingly endless procession of witnesses for this lifestyle is amazing and wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

[@Chickmamapalletfarm]

My husband and I just ordered our Casita. When he finally agreed to getting an RV, I decided that we needed one to last the rest of our lives. (We are both 44 now). But, if I outlive him, I fully intend to live out my golden years in this Casita we just purchased. The nomadic life is for me, although I do have a plan to build a chicken coop in the back of the truck, and try to keep a few garden pots back there too. Perhaps some day I will be known as the nomadic homesteader old lady. 😉

[@saxonwench1]

wonderful home..thanks Bob

[@rons3699]

Bob, thanks to you and Karen for making and sharing this informative video :::)))

[@calgal5752]

This woman is so smart & resourceful.....& beautiful too! Thank you for the great tips. I hope you recover quickly and have safe travels out there.....

[@angelfirelite]

I just loved this lady when my eyes first noticed her....she is a free spirit in more ways then one and love her cozy sweetly decorative , Travel Casita . She is very creative, if I could only meet a friend like that. I had one years ago and they are so hard to find and few between. God bless her smiling eyes in her journey of life ~

[@irhonda31]

She has a beautiful home! TFS!

[@maxiedoodle]

Cool lady. Her Casita is so adorable!

[@ReX-Ray]

Thanks Bob for another great vid. The casitas are always warm and inviting. If it was mine, I would have to get rid of 3/4 of the stuff in there. I guess I'm just a hyper minimalist at heart. Gimme a toothbrush, a razor, a pot to cook in, and a pot to pee in (Not the same pot if possible) and I'm good to go.

[@laurarock6540]

She is great! So much ingenuity! Enjoy!

[@rememberyj]

Great vid! I LOVE your altar and what you did for your curtains. Sweet set up. Thanks for sharing.

[@ladydayana]

This is the most beautiful, cozy and inviting casita I've ever seeing. It feels like a home. I love it!

[@annham4136]

I enjoyed seeing how she has efficiently and beautifully personalized her Casita. They haven't changed all that much over the years. Very inspiring video as I am considering the nomadic life and trying to figure out how and I am inclined toward the Casita even. Thank you.
