I absolutely agree, Rebecca. In regards to this video I just think that it paints a picture that is not entirely transparent. There is a lot more to living costs than rent and the purchase of the home. That trailer is most likely not going to be worth 6000 dollars when she wants to get out of it. That's putting it mildly. The video doesn't mention running costs or maintenance either.

She does not live independently at all. She is a) renting the space the trailer is parked on, b) has to fill up drinking water at friends' homes or buy it, c) does not really stay there all year round and has to move into "friends homes" for the winter and d) showers at work or gym. So, do not call this "independent". It is all but independent living. She is a nice dreamer but, only singles can do that and only if they have friends or relatives they can turn to when needed. And needed they are. Nice camping experience for someone who just eats and sleeps, that's all it is.

They have 2 campers on their property close to their house (they're far from minimalists, LOL!), the 36' travel trailer they're currently on the road with, and an older 36' 5th wheel camper that they'd bought for $2,000 needing a bit of work. POINT BEING (sorry, I get side tracked in details sometimes) I opted to live in the 5th wheel camper while I'm here. I'm loving it so far (2 weeks in, 2 to go), so this one was a great watch for me 😀👍

I used to live in the US for 19 years and was pretty unhappy about my life. Now I moved to my native country, Mexico and I am as happy as ever. I know live close to my family members, live with the love of my life. I still take some time to do the things I like, like reading books and playing video games, going to the movies every once in a while. I dont live that bad at all compare to other people here in Mexico, but I can say that I had more comforts in USA, but for some reason that didn't really made me happy. Being here with my love ones, is what really makes me happy. Living in a space that I call my own. Really happiness is not always about material things, money and all that. A lot of people that have more money are quite unhappy about their life.

Her trailer looks so much like the prowler I used to live in. I lived in it 6 yrs. such a great place. I was parked on a family’s property. When the family died I had to give it up but it was great having free rent for six years while I went to school to get my degree. All I paid for was propane and phone. I had water hooked up to their garden hose and the family ran electricity out to me. And they hooked me up to their septic system since I was parked right by the septic tank. We were on 10 acres of lemon trees. Had a huge garden and green house that nobody was using. The caretakers on the property had a laundry room they let me use. They even had chickens that I helped feed so they let me have an egg or two. Lots of fruit trees on the property too. Loved it. Living simply is the best way.

I think it's great that she loves it and I totally understand the whole low cost living thing. Real running costs wasn't mentioned and she didn't sound too sure about how the home would be to live in in less than ideal temperatures. As much as I like watching these kind of videos they always point out the low cost (rent) and purchasing price but almost never really mention the real costs that are attached (heating/electric bill/maintenance) vs the appreciation in value connected to buying a house or apartment. What's the time span? That is a factor. Does she live there a year or two years? I don't see old used trailers going up in price. I'm not trying to put this video down. I'm just saying that a 200 dollar rent and 6000 dollars to buy the trailer is not a representation of what the actual costs are long term. Thanks for the video - kind regards, Jonas.

@@samanthavanscoder9536 It's good to notice things like that because your fridge and other appliances will not work properly if they are not level. I have lived in a 5th wheel for over 6 years and the cost to live in one is way more than what they are telling you here. Forget about it if one of your appliances craps out. RV stuff is out of sight to replace! She also didn't mention the cost of propane, roof leaks (common in a very old trailer), dry rot, etc. It's a nice dream though and for some, like myself, their only option. It's not bad. This is just not reality, unfortunately.

Back it into that empty barn and put hay bales around as skirting in winter?

Hay bails do help a lot, but even a wind block from 1 or 2 layers tarp will help a lot. Weigh down the bottom part so wind doesn't get underneath. Snow will help with that once it arrives, if you are in a snow area. The only downside is that hay eventually becomes housing for vermin. Be prepared to deal with those by any preferred methods.

The 'fridge might work for awhile when the trailer isn't level, but we found out the hard way that it WILL self-destruct eventually. We knew better, but had pulled into a space that just wouldn't allow us to level... we tried for over an hour, then noticed we had a leak in our fuel line and the neighbors were getting ready to build a fire too close. We shut off the engine and stayed put. The 'fridge died a few days after we got home.

I started out in travel trailers in a park back in 76 after Marine Corp. Rent was 45 a month, things were tight, but was really the best time of my life so far. I fondly think back to those wonderful times and wish I could relive them. I also think about the luxury a trailer has to offer after seeing how people in other countries live. Stay happy and thrive! Your good friend Vinny in good old Fla.

Love it!! Great space. That is what I consider the perfect amount of space. Mine is 36 feet and I get a little stressed driving it because it is so long and the additional space in mine does not make it any more comfortable than mine. My question is; how much space does the radiator heat? I know you don’t want to keep the propane heat on overnight for safety reasons but what about putting a wood burning stove in? You are a very smart girl.💖

Im in a very similar situation....not nearly as beautiful as yours, I put up a indoor warming tent over my bed...its amazing how warm i am while sleeping. Im in a 74 motorhome that is really bare boned. I left a gorgeous new stuck built and a controlling angry husband...in exchange for a very old non functioning calm peacefully space that truly has become my safe haven. We're soon approaching winter....its frightening . Ill be following you to see how your making it. God bless!

I've been working towards living in an airstream camper full time .. been in it most of a year now with it being moved numerous times before finally landing this space my friend now owns. It's on the plains and the winter was brutal .. I was parked inside of a barn for the worst of it. Propane and electricity available. Currently working on water on site so can stop hauling in jugs of water. I think this is great and also allows for moving whenever and traveling in future .. just bring home with! Remodeling mine has not yet begun .. I really like what she's done with hers
