Vintage Travel Trailer Tiny House Tour: A Girl's Dream Home on Wheels

After retiring from vanlife, I tried living in a proper home but things didn't last long! Introducing Elouise, my vintage 1970s travel trailer tiny home. I've been living here for the past year and a half and fixing it up as I go and I'm finally ready to film a tour! It's my happy place, wellness retreat, and the coziest home I've ever had. Thanks for watching!

RV Hack - put bars of Irish spring soap, peppermint or eucalyptus oil to repel and prevent mice. It really works. We use it in all of our rental and vacation properties.

[@northernbettygirl]

I have mice in my single wide newer mobile home, and they love to eat Irish Spring soap!

[@Mewsielynx]

Urinal blocks around establishment also keeps bears aeay

[@Mewsielynx]

Away

[@Frannieville]

@@northernbettygirlmy place too! Not only Irish Spring soap but Ivory, Dove and even chewed a bottle of Dawn dish soap.

[@johnmiller6197]

Peppermint oil works...

[@jimisstillhear]

Whoever's editing this is really good,, she's real funny too,,

[@paisana9378]

you're right, she is quite the character :)))

[@elsands9774]

To funny, I found her annoying lol….

[@jrambo7495]

​@@elsands9774very very annoying! Comedy and humor should be natural whilst hers was forced and uncomfortable. That music at the beginning added an extra dollop of annoying as well. Skipped here and there but about 7 minutes in and I've had enough!

[@ellevictory1339]

It's true u aren't coming weaklings 😂😂😂I only want strong children now 100 ur gonna parish all of u but 100 I don't want that many children with my new husband I will later 💃💃💃💃🥳🥳👍💪💪💪💪 I win again

[@georgehouse4747]

Sweet

[@bobbiwoodruff5165]

Coffee, undisclosed self protection and dust? Atta girl 💪🏼❤️

[@rickibelden986]

I have the same trailer. I love the upgrades you have done. Super cute and I'm stealing some of your idea's for my trailer. ❤

[@johnfowler9253]

Looks very good but where are the blue tarps? Ha ha no it looks way uptown.😮

[@rickibelden986]

@johnfowler9253 Don't knock the old trailer, some of them have great strengths that are worth saving. I enjoy bringing new life to retro camping vehicles. Sometimes they were built better.

[@daretodream...898]

Hello ... I love the older trailers, they are very charming. For food storage, try tin canisters. You can get large round ones that come with popcorn at Christmas time and IKEA has some too. For mice, etc. ... try peppermint essential oil ... sprayed in the cabinets, corners, baseboards, etc. Happy Trails.

[@onehope4heaven591]

I love those vintage trailers SO much more than the modern ones because they're wider, the windows are larger, and the interior styling is just so much more pleasant, relaxed, and roomy. It's amazing everything is still working. I'm curious though ... where does she live? Seems a gorgeous area!

[@d12tu68]

good idea to put shade cover over your RV 🌺🍄🌺🌺🍄🍄🍄🍄

[@shiralleehaggart72]

It is nice that she still has some of the original features in there as well, shower, sink etc.

[@helidude3502]

I’m envious ☺️ Not perfect, but still perfect 😁 She’s a gem also. Not afraid to live in something like this and willing to go hands on when things need to be done. 👍😎

[@TertuNdokosho]

Perfectly imperfect

[@StephiLee]

i'm obsessed with this setup and your sense of humor 😂

[@laurathompson9649]

Mice will run up your power cord and get into the trailer. I switched mine out to the "RV Power Inlet Plug Cable Electrical Locking Adapter Converter Socket with Twist Lock (30A 125V White) for Camper". They will also run up the tires and get in between the wheelwells and the outside wall.....I spray foamed that. It's been 3 years and not one mouse. Good luck!

[@junaidmansourmahdi1392]

So cool home on wheels 👍 A nice tour with you 🙋

[@bassyaker7256]

Very nice job! I love the old Shastas. I really love all the windows around the bed.

[@thedawneffect]

So delightful!!! The camper, and you! Great tour and unexpected laughter!!! Thank Youuuuu!

[@jeffmpvd7689]

The exterior snowing shot with the warm interior lights: ooh la la

[@blutru1328]

your tiny home is gorgeous ! enjoy light and breezy style !

[@bethmitchell7613]

I think my niece is your doppelganger, and I can totally see her doing this! Heck, I wish I had done something like this when I was young (once). Your Shasta is super cute, and your sense of humor is very entertaining LOL. Thank you for sharing your little paradise with us! 😊

[@Nikkitrust01]

So honest and funny, love it!😅😅😅😅

[@breakdownbill1]

Beautiful Shasta camper. I lived in a 1979 Shasta RV for 3 years. Best 3 years of my life. Wish I still had my Shasta RV

[@lisashelton3241]

Beautiful! I think the wood burning stove is a great idea!

[@skipholman4742]

Damn, that was one of the most fun, most honest trailer living videos I have ever seen. Thanks!

[@ceciltagg]

Love the way your bed is near the windows good view plenty of light

[@herlindahuskey]

❤how I loved this❤ Thank you for sharing this❤

[@desiedearest]

Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise! It was an instant subscribe for me, love her vibe and personality! ❤

[@AngelicCryz222]

Love the commentary! And unfiltered! ❤

[@Bruno-ho5jl]

She reminds me of some of the gals I knew back in the 60’s. Good times.

[@norm5785]

One of the best videos I have seen of this type. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

[@Westcoastguy]

What a cool trailer. Love the wood stove. Great way to stay warm in the winter.

[@tinaingram885]

Our neighbor runs a string of lights with pretty big bulbs under their camper and pick-up truck. No mice!!! They were getting into his truck motor and the camper.

[@robynhills8650]

Great trailer tour…super funny! 🙏💖

[@kelliephoenix]

Funniest tour I've ever seen! 😂❤

[@destinyengles911]

I love this! To deal with the infestation I would put all dry food/pasta/snacks into glass jars new or bought from Goodwill/thrift stores.

[@johnwilliams640]

Nice trailer. Good video. Thanks

[@lisaparks5054]

Loved the tour. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽.

[@patriciaevans5906]

First time seeing your channel….gonna have to admit I enjoyed it. It was refreshing to see someone doing one of these and it just seems to be natural. Makes it worth watching and enjoying. I had a little 1962 vintage trailer at the beach….lotta work went into it. I sold it when my husband got really sick and we couldn’t enjoy it anymore but I did love it. Your doggie is absolutely gorgeous! And I really love what you’ve got going on with the trailer. Looks calm and looks like it’s in such a pretty spot. I’ll have to find more of your videos. Keep up the good work….and I adore your personality…..you’d do great in my family…I raised my kids and grandkids on sarcasm….funny sarcasm. Stay safe and get rid of all mice around!

[@lansteadla]

I LOVE this!! Well done. ❤

[@thetanz8111]

Giiiirl!!! This is perfection!!!! 😍❤

[@moreybandel5560]

Very nice. I Hate mice. We found an easy recipe to get rid of them. Mix equal parts jiffy corn bread mix with baking soda, put in a disposable container that the mice can crawl into. Hope this helps. Thanks for the video.

[@laurirobinson8346]

Add instant potatoes as well.

[@TertuNdokosho]

Ugh this is great. I want this for me so badly.

[@carolkokx9638]

Love all those windows

[@mkchris9154]

Loved every bit of it!!! Good job!!!

[@shellygreenan2407]

Fill a sachet with cloves, cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg and place in cabinets , mice hate it . Use these to winterize our RV, smells amazing . Small dehumidifier is how to handle moisture.

[@christinehigginbottham9994]

I love everything about your home! Beautiful place to put your home! Seems like a great retreat.

[@peggygermann7996]

I love your home! It’s lovely and really well put together. You have a great personality, too!

[@coyoteheartdestinythesylph5902]

Target is balls then...I love those Yello sheets...

[@MichellePatterson-fx6iw]

I love the tour. You are a hoot.

[@troyshepherd2424]

Fun and i love it!! You made me laugh. 👍👍😁

[@michelleg5371]

I love the banana coloured sheets .they look so snug and warm . I love you van it’s homey .💞💞

[@marlenejohnson5461]

I love that she has her trailer under cover..

[@doloresmitchell8083]

Love old campers you got style and class thanks for the video be safe

[@pattijack]

Lights underneath the trailer will help deter mice.

[@pbrown2284]

Came across this video accidentally. I love to see new life put into something old. You have a delightful personality. I love your humor. Thanks for sharing.

[@mountaingoat8788]

Nice place Not bad at all 🤘

[@barbarajoyhuhtala3495]

Deadly vibe to this video! Loved it! (Dusty is probably exploring the possibility for another exit/entrance to her den, or there's a critter there: :) ) Can't wait to see your jump in the future!

[@Hairlessmonkey7612]

"Ready for the youtube stalkers" *chakchuk* ADORABLE 😂

[@valerieann2751]

[@CPIVCR]

this music was a refreshing alternative and appropriate for Eloise.

[@mikellecallahan516]

Loved the tour. Done authentically. ✌️

[@barbmark8232]

Love it! Peaceful atmosphere! 🙋‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻

[@carolsakaguchi3739]

Lovely

[@juliehoot3916]

Love everything. I have a 2005, 20 foot trailer. I took out dinnette and it was life changing! Do you empty hot water tank once a year? I heard you need to do that. I had a rodent problem until I put out solar lights from Home Depo. Do you like your toilet? Any tips? Thank you. Great tour! Love Doggie! ❤

[@lindamarie6574]

Very cool travel trailer!

[@0to100Art]

Beautiful video and love the Thumbnail ! Thank you for sharing! 😀

[@virginialecroy7729]

Pretty cool!👍

[@prestonrobert2625]

I shall copy as much of you did on to my 86 Nomad. Thank you VERY much

[@donnagohl8022]

Vanna White has nothing on you! Your home demonstration was fabulous!

[@Joe-cu4hi]

I love your craziness! And you built that camper-port? You must have a line of guys asking to marry you! 😊

[@briancarter9927]

Best tiny home tour 😂

[@karlynnelangerak4549]

😊I dig it!

[@buckaroobanzai6577]

I dig it!

[@CampingAroundTheBlock]

I wish I was handy enough to get a vintage trailer and make it nice like this

[@DennisRoberts-sv4hi]

Nice set up. ❤

[@thinkpadBentnoseTheBlind]

Very cool ! A bit of white metal flashing and a rivet gun can make a shroud for the chimney pretty easily. ti snips needed also then wood stove silicone at the end then done. then just cut the silicone to remove if needed.

[@kathrynmurdoch2397]

Yes !!! You are so funny 😅

[@ellenados804]

Hang up the electrical cord, so it's not right on the ground. Because the mice will clime right up That and go into your trailer. Trust me. It's happened to me, is the outdoor kitchen.

[@deborahkinnel5261]

Great comedic timing.

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌❤️🇨🇦, sweet trailer

[@ritawoodfork3086]

Am jealous of your set up! So cozy and so personal! Yep it is you!

[@suzannortega6671]

Thaaaank you for not saying “like” every 5 seconds. I could actually watch the entire video!

[@paisana9378]

love it!!!

[@MrJeep75]

Like those subway tiles

[@karen3876]

I am so jealous. I’m 68 and would have loved this instead of my first home. If you have a dream. Go for it! Do end up wishing up would have done something.

[@quidestveritas8713]

Sweet video! 😂😁

[@judolee6498]
