Wow, I’m very impressed! I’ve been searching for videos to see if a sedan can pull a small trailer. I have seen small SUVs, but not sedans, let alone a motorcycle. Also, to hear that you used to have 2 dogs and a cat too! Thank you for sharing compassion and love. True compassion is the caring for others, especially strangers. Sharing knowledge is one aspects of love. Thank you, and all the best to you always!
My happiest days of my life was living alone in a studio apt with my dog. I owned my Harley n a pick up. Loved those simple times. Hope you enjoyed yours, or are still enjoying it. Good for you! :-)
Nice! For the past 4 years I full timed in a 6x10 trailer and workcamped. I worked from Southern California up to Wyoming in seasonal jobs. I bought a 4x8 teardrop for camping. I decided to "settle down" and sold my live-in trailer and got a full time job with apartment but have kept the teardrop and plan to hit the road again in the future. I totally get the part about your "personal bubble." People always invade mine and yes, I'm a "tough broad." Love your videos! If you want a simple tow vehicle, you can't beat my 2005 Jeep Wrangler. No power anything! But it only gets 15 mpg with a tailwind!
You're super awesome and I've seen and shared your video a few times and going to share it again now. Living on the road but doing it on a motorcycle is for me where it's at. You are just to awesome!!
I love it, I bought a used Harbor Freight trailer ($60) 2 yrs ago and then mounted a used suv cargo container($50) to it and threw my fishing and camping gear in it. I made a trailer hitch for the back of my bike (07 Yamaha 1900 Strataliner) and I took off for a month long trip.. I know the freedom you feel, it was the best vacation I ever had..
Thanks for the tour of your home :) When you simplify it's amazing what little you do need. I hope to get there one day so I can travel as well. Really enjoy your videos and blogs, keep up the great job. Take care, looking forward to following your journey Tina
Jackie - I'm impressed! You're rig looks great. I have a home built teardrop that I designed and built. I'm ready to hit the road. I just finished my memoirs, almost. My bucket list is fun to review, especially my homebuilt Roberts 34 which I lived on for a year. etc. Say Hello.
Definitely the smartest way. Cars with campers or anything else belong to another era. Proof that harley never dies. However a tent room extension would be a good choice for space and comfort. For heating kerosene stove and no problem. Greetings and have a good time!!!!!
Thanks for sharing. May I suggest you get onevof those emergency car blanket that plugs into a cigarette lighter socket. It helps greatly on cold nights. If you are in an area where you have no electric hookup to plug your electric heater. Enjoy and safe travels.
Absolutely love your setup. I've been biking in Europe since the 80s and have used tents most of the time. I'm now looking for a bit more comfort as I'm getting older but I'm not quite ready for hotels yet. This looks like a solution to bridge the gap. Well done on your lifestyle choice.
I have sold many of these at a teardrop shop in San Diego. Several to bikers, I would think it would be the ultimate rig to have air go up your nose! I have also seen trikes use them and Smart cars... which do a great job BTW. Thanks... this is a fine video. Hope the next one has that guitar playing about Teardropping....
Very nice!!! I run with a teardrop at about the same weight class (500 lbs give or take) and have no problems pulling with my '15 FLHTCUL. I did add a smaller anti sway bar on mine, 'cause last year I was about 300' behind twin tractor trailers using both lanes, rolling around 70mph, and the turbulance caused my (and my traveling buddy's) real discomfort over the swaying that occurred with the trailer. I got plenty of tongue weight, but the ride was a wild one. No problems since adding the sway bar - but I'm also careful not to repeat the scenario!!!
Awesome. I'm looking to get a set-up like that. Right now I live in my big rig. I do own a Harley Davidson Softail Deuce I ride it every weekend. Would be nice to find one of them trailers. Thanks for posting.
I hope you are still traveling and enjoying life! Those campers are hard to find! I want to buy one! I'm looking at a tent camper instead. Best wishes!
Yes, still out there. I will be heading up to South Dakota in May. I do plan to be better on the videos as I have learned a lot of new things to help on the road. What would you like to see a video on?
@@PatchesOnassis what's life on the road like? How long do you travel for; weeks, months or years at a time? This video is 4 years old, have you been traveling since you posted this? Best wishes!
Oooh good questions! I will think about it and tell you all about it. I have been fulltime since October 2012. This past few months I have taken some breaks but back to it in May. I will get more detailed for you all when I’m back at it. Thank you for your feedback! Truly helpful!
I'm considering this! I'm 36, single, and have 1 daughter who will be grown soon. I've thought about selling everything I have and just having a bike and camper. I want to travel and spend my winters in warm climate. It sounds better than just sitting in one place , alone , with nothing to do. Having a house and property just to say I have one doesn't mean a damn thing to me. I hate cold weather too I wanna be able to pack up and run from it!
I tell people all the time - don't live in the past or look towards the future, but rather live for the moment!👊🌎👊 Life is waaaay to shorts. I retired at 50 because I wanted to enjoy life's moments. I ride a 2019 Tri-Glide Ultra.
Me and my husband are getting ready to retire we have a HD and looking for a small camper se we can travel across country and then maybe south of the border for awhile I'm sure it's hard sometime to live is a small place but can't wait to start.... I also have a small dog and cat but I could never do a litter box in that small of a space. I don't know about your cat but mine is a stinky sucker he would stink me out of the place live in a house and he can stink me out I clean his litter 2 times a day maybe I'm sensitive to cats smells idk but it definitely not something i want to smeel all the time in a small place...lol..he will he staying with my daughter... Thank for sharing your life and home
Beautiful. I love what you are doing and am interested in traveling and living in a tiny trailer. Your trailer is very nice, I would only change one thing on it. I think that if you replaced the back door with something more aerodynamic, you would probably improve your mpg and get a little more space too. To get a sense of what I mean, take a look at the rear end of the Toyota Prius. It slopes down a little bit then has nice crisp edges. Making the rear of the teardrop trailer more like that of the Prius would reduce drag. If the Elio ever gets made, I would like to build a teardrop and go across the country.
You should visit Paducah, KY. It's famous for its quilt museum and a yearly gathering of people who love quilting. I believe it starts in March or early April. Check it out!
You girl do exactly what I intend to do and what I'm preparing to do myself, for the rest of my life.
Not as simple as said. Many can't handle it or survive especially with health situations.
Jan, did you do it ?
i love that expression of yours that sums up so much "to work less and live more" thx for the insight

I now pull this trailer with a VW lifted diesel beetle and can go anywhere.
As a female I am so impressed. Thank you for sharing your real simplified life with us.
Thank you!

Loved those simple times. Hope you enjoyed yours, or are still enjoying it. Good for you! :-)
If you dont mind me asking, you speak in past tense, may i ask why? 😯 what happened??
thanks for the tour Jackie ... as I've said before, you are an inspiration ... take care and wish you a million miles of safe travels
Very well done. Simple is always a good measure of our limited time. Less is truly more!!!
nice set up i was looking at a tear drop trailer for my goldwing . Your the only person that i now tows a tear drop trailer with a motorcycle.
There are a few of us out there but not necessarily live in it full time.
Thanks for getting back to me. Do you get pulled over by the police with that tear drop trailer ?
No, it is legal here in the US.
I dont ever leave messages to strangers on youtube. First time. You're amazing! Living simple and minimal!
Thank you!
I loved this, and have been needing a little motivation nudge to continue living simply. Thank you for that.
Wow, awesome travelling home. Go anywhere & camp anywhere. Alot of adventure 4 a brave woman. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.
You're a freaking legend !!! Beautiful way to live 👌
I found your video randomly, and now you have my respect.
God bless you and protect you!
Greetings from Mexico!
freedom is found in various ways. this sure is one of them. thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much for the idea. Looking at tiny light trailers for my Hyundai. Your idea gave me ideas! So thank you so much
Awesome! A woman who rides and, bonus!, hauls a teardrop!
You go, girl!
Thanks for the tour of your home :) When you simplify it's amazing what little you do need. I hope to get there one day so I can travel as well. Really enjoy your videos and blogs, keep up the great job.

Great job !
Thank you!
I hope you are still traveling and enjoying life! Those campers are hard to find! I want to buy one! I'm looking at a tent camper instead. Best wishes!
Still out there. They are hard to find. They only made them when ordered so not many are out there. Good luck with the tent camper!
@@PatchesOnassis I hope you are still enjoying traveling. Any plans of making new videos?
Yes, still out there. I will be heading up to South Dakota in May. I do plan to be better on the videos as I have learned a lot of new things to help on the road. What would you like to see a video on?

Very cool! I may do the same thing in my retirement.
That is so cool .
Cudos to you, JH. I will have you in mind whenever I mount my Canam Spyder. Take care.

this videos makes me want one its cool
I love it, thank you for sharing it,I love you trailer I want to live off my 125 Honda here in Brazil and I want to build a smaller trailer.
It is good idea to pull the trailer that can store more stuffs for a long trip, a place to sleep.
that is so cooolllllllllll
nice video , thanks for sharing....keep up the good work :)
Thank you!
Do you know where I could buy a bicycle trailer from?
I tell people all the time - don't live in the past or look towards the future, but rather live for the moment!👊🌎👊
Life is waaaay to shorts. I retired at 50 because I wanted to enjoy life's moments. I ride a 2019 Tri-Glide Ultra.
Just converted my enclosed motorcycle trailer into a MC hauler/camper. Not as extreme as your lifestyle but looking forward to exploring.
Awesome! Good luck!
Me and my husband are getting ready to retire we have a HD and looking for a small camper se we can travel across country and then maybe south of the border for awhile I'm sure it's hard sometime to live is a small place but can't wait to start....

Thank for sharing your life and home
So cool after see this video I can not wait to finish my build Teardrop camper, an inspiration New Sub here
Thank you!
I would love this
thanks for the tour. one comment on the playful side: have you considered taking up the ukulele to give yourself a little more room?
I did travel with a backpack guitar which didn't take up much space but I like the feel and sound of my other guitar. Haha
So badass!!! Subvert the dominant paradigm!
Love it!
