Why I Left Teaching to Live in a Truck Camper

[@DebbieDebcor1]

I taught elementary school for 40 years. I wish you could’ve experienced the education system that existed 40 years ago. Teachers truly had the freedom to teach and be creative. They were very well trained and highly respected and supported. The system that exists today is none of that. Never doubt your decision to leave it. You absolutely did the right thing! Love your rig and your dog is precious. Good luck to you!💕

[@Campingphoebe]

Kudos to you! Being a teacher is very demanding. I'm retiring this spring after 35 years of teaching. We will be most-timing in our rv. So much to see in this beautiful country of ours!

[@jonicabeird4657]

All I can say is good for you, and you are brave for taking the p!unge. So cool! Freedom and happiness are everything.

[@martinnormand7458]

I totally understand about teaching!!! Today’s bad influence on kids, some parents and just today’s society in general, I CANNOT Imagine being a teacher today!

[@Holiday_Ringo]

True we should all just give up and live in a van 😂

[@jenocean824]

I left teaching two years ago, the stress and lack of administrative and parent support made it impossible to stay any longer.

[@MitchellWilkinson-m8n]

I got out of teaching just in time, as teenagers especially middle school girls act out with arrogant and mean attitude in the classroom - thinking and copying celebrity narcissistic behavior of Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and Jennifer Lope - todays "role models." Part of the problem is the women principals and administration are afraid of the parents. If the Democrats get in, this permissive nightmare behavior with students is only going to get worse.

I’m 27 months into living in my 24’ motorhome. Happiest I’ve been in 20 years with the lifestyle. Next summer I’ll be downsizing into a Sprinter. Can’t wait, no regrets!

[@benthere422]

At 67 my wife & I downsized into a 40 foot living quarters horse trailer and traveled with 2 horses & 3 dogs. We stayed at horse campgrounds all over this nation and rode our horses on spectacular trails! Now at 71, we are live nomadic in a 32 foot fifth wheel trailer traveling without our horses. They are "vacationing" at our granddaughter's little farm. At this moment we are camping just outside of Lake Tahoe heading out to tour the California Pacific Coast. FREEDOM!!!

As a former college level instructor I can identify! In my younger years I did a lot of travel camping USA, Canada and Europe, with wife and two sons who are now grown and long gone into middle age. We all eventually find a way of life that fits. This young woman has found hers!

I'm not really a Yoga kinda guy but I am an outdoorsman. I agree with you completely about having to protect your personal needs with life outdoors. The time is near when I'll be back to that. Congrats on your choice!

[@suzannecranford6819]

This is absolutely wonderful! I'm fascinated with truck campers. They are amazing. I live in a 27' RV, and think I could definitely downsize and live in a truck camper. It's so practical and makes great sense to me. Your renovation is beautiful. You have the prettiest wet bath I've seen. Adding the hanging plant is so special. I'm so happy you for you, making this lifestyle change. It's horrible when you lose yourself completely, and it's hard work making a change to bring yourself back. The rewards are incredible. Tell me one thing, how easily did you dog adjust? I have 2 dogs and a cat. I often wonder what is would be like making that adjustment. Lol Thanks for the tour and your uplifting story. 🩷

[@DoYogaOutside]

We lived in a 29 foot trailer before this too! Our pup had a pretty easy adjustment because we spend most of the day outside, exploring and that’s just her favorite thing to do!!

[@suzannecranford6819]

[@nightfall22]

She’s beautiful, great rig! I love that old dodge! My sister is still a teacher, currently teaching 5th… same school, same district 29 years… I’ve worked ems for my whole life and we compare war stories 😂😂 the things teachers put up with is a shame. The district and schools don’t support them when you have all these horrible kids and the schools cater to them sad to say. So much more entitlement in this day and age and people are way more soft than when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s. I have nothing but respect for teachers… especially those that stick it out because it’s truly brutal.

[@altron1009]

Good on you for choosing to live the life you want, instead of following the rules set by this society. I have a lot of respect for Teachers they deserve a lot more, stay safe, and take care.

[@bdzuber]

Another teacher here, still in the game . . . I'm a bit jealous, teaching most definitely is a drain on mental health. Shouldn't be, but totally is. :(

[@marvelenia6702]

wow so good to see someone so happy! Thank you for being a wonderful dog mommy! And I also enjoyed seeing someone being a terrific yoga teacher and not look like a skinny match stick! Good luck to you and your loved ones!

[@BernadetteVogel]

I only made it 6 years as a teacher. Now work at a spay/neuter clinic where everything comes in a kennel or on a leash🤣. Best job ever! Happy travels!

[@rouseyournicholls]

You are soooo true...teaching drains your mental health. I am in that exact spot right now. I am ready to get rid of that load and get a more peaceful lifestyle. I am glad you made the change, hopefully I will do it soon. I really need it.

There's remote teaching jobs. Social Work also is a draining job that doesn't pay much with a Bachelor's Degree. It's not an easy job working with clients and families. Nice truck camper!! I'm looking to retire from social services because I get a lot of burnout. Nice renovations!! This truck camper has everything they need.

As a former teacher, the struggle is real. Teaching is a thankless job but it might be worth it if the profession as a whole was held in high esteem in the eyes of society, which it isn't. Enjoy your new lease on life!

[@missteachersandra]

I can relate to your experience of teaching. No support from admin. deranged parents, and entitled students made teaching impossible, so after 37 years of teaching, I had to retire or have a nervous breakdown. I loved teaching but since moving to an upper class school, I was amazed at how parents and their spoiled children treat me so disrespectfully. So, if I was younger, I would have quit teaching and sold insurance or anything else. I don’t recommend a teaching career to ANYONE!!! Good for you for leaving teaching. Enjoy your life and live simple! Acquisition of material stuff is not worth it!

[@justgivemethetruth]

Snappy, very impressive video production! Kudos. And I have never seen a rig with the sink installed diagonally before, and I think it is a great design. You get the space behind the sink to keep important things, and more counter space. If I was to do this and could get the battery power I would have a single burner induction cooktop & microwave. One Question: When you say "we", do you mean yourself and your dog? Is that a little bit weird? But at least it's not a cat. ;-) Cutest dog by the way, he looks like a person in a dogsuit! Oh, you tricked us.

[@Bibs123]

I have one year left as a teacher. It's a horrible profession because parents have spoiled their children to the point they have zero manners or social skills. Parents have also let them become so addicted to screens that they can't listen for 3 minutes. I am lucky enough to teach a decent number of Asian and Asian/American students. They are awesome and their parents are far better people than 90% of Americans. We are a society going down the tubes from ignorance and wokeness.

[@jamesrodriquez2863]

Two people and a dog in that small a space? Nyope! I wouldn't do it, but if that's their idea of paradise they can have at it. I'm very much leaning towards a truck with slide in camper when I retire, but that's only because it will be just me and my chihuahua mix. If I was partnered with someone a slide in would be entirely too small.
