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! :-)
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
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..
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 notice you are pulling the trailer with a Harley. I have been thinking about this as well. I have a Little Guy Rascal and plan to pull it with my 2006 Harley Dresser. Please let me know how well you bike pulls the trailer. Thank you so much
wish I had the courage to try this, but at 67 I'm just too old to start over again! Still need to work so I can afford to retire someday... Sigh..... Do your dogs ride in the trailer when you are traveling? Don't you worry about it getting too hot in there?
hubby & I both pull trailers for travel, camping but one day I'd like to get a teardrop. we've dragged ours through every kind of weather. I know you said trailer weight but I missed it? How big is your HD?
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!
was curious about security and such do you have places you avoid? do you carry any kind of protective weapons? and I'm looking into a Moby1 c2 trailer but thats just fyi
+Candy Sheppard the only places I avoid are states like Mississippi and such who feel they can discriminate due to ignorance. Haha... But seriously, the road has generally been safer than living in one place. If it doesn't feel right move on... Instinct is the best weapon you can have.
+Howard Moore braking hasn't been a problem... In the mountains, city and everywhere I've been. Leave room between you and the car in front of you and all will be good.
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.
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....
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!
Please add tic tack, and blue in your video keywords when you make a video about your camper and bike. I remember those names for some reason and it would help people find your videos when you post with your 2 friends. Great content love the minimalists attitude just so hard to commit to that. Surrounded by so much stuff you just want to be prepared for everything but I have covered myself with so much stuff that when I go to a project the difficulty arises that I can't locate things needed to do the task you hesitate to go buy more or worse you have to scavenge a part off your good item now you have more junk than stuff that works.
Jaclyn Heyen I can't tell you how many times I have shared your video as a model for youth to follow to get their bank to get that good down payment on their first home so they can live debt free. Sure 15 years is not debt free but it is the fastest way I know to get a QUALITY home and get back off the radar fast. I have a Prius with a micro camper in tow. Finally got the papers I am close to getting all the legal logistics out the way after that I can get myself out there and see a little more before I die. Sounds morbid but we are all dying just some of us at a sooner date than the others. A MC insurance for me $75 a year should I find my self single again I will have your set up before it is all said and done. Thanks for sharing and please make more video I really appreciate your prospective.
+Super Dada It isn't as expensive as you think. Bought the bike new in 2007 and been my only source of transportation since... the trailer new in 2012 and cost under $25,000 for the bike, trailer and all the extras... I get 35-40 mpg and don't pay rent, campsite, electric.
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!!!!!
Looking for a small teardrop sorta' trailer home... Pulled by small 1.4Iitre 98 horsepower Chevy Spark. "IT CAN BE DONE." As confirmed by your video. AND with a lot more room and convenience. With solar on car and trailerl I'm good to go!!!
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.
Curious about how bad that camper kills your fuel economy? Looks like the 107 motor, I have the 114 big brother. Debating buying a trailer similar for some camping trips
So awesome! Love that you have chosen a life of freedom! Me too, i have a honda 1800 and i want to pull a timberleaf pica...900lbs...do u feel you lose alot of handling on the bike? Does the trailer push the bike around?
My trailer is 400lbs. I’ve ridden thru about everything but don’t much feel the need anymore. You get use to the feeling. 900lbs is a bit heavy for the mountains or stopping so be careful.
@@PatchesOnassis Thanks Patches! So youve parked the bike? Is that what you meant by not feeling the need? I think ill look more into your brand of teardrop camper...very minimal, exactly what im looking for. Well, thanks for inspiring me, continue to live large😊
No, just no need to ride in bad weather. I love camping just as much as riding so I can be a more fair weather rider than I was when I first hit the road almost 7 years ago.
If I was a biker, I will buy this kind camper to use. Good they have everything sleeping area & kitchen, everything is okay but only they don't have is bathroom.They do have a good way get to shower or toilet.
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

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??
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
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
You're a freaking legend !!! Beautiful way to live 👌
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.

Awesome!
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
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!!
As a female I am so impressed. Thank you for sharing your real simplified life with us.
Thank you!
Presos
Very well done. Simple is always a good measure of our limited time. Less is truly more!!!
I loved this, and have been needing a little motivation nudge to continue living simply. Thank you for that.
how much is that little trailer? What year is it? Thx!!
+number5ful they don't make this trailer anymore. They are hard to find since they only made them as they were ordered.
you are so cool. I love it!
excuse me , may i ask about the size of ur motorcycle camping trailer
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
Great setup.... thanks for sharing :)
Thank you!
takes guts to do that on a motorcycle.👍
+Wil Reyes or just crazy. Haha I do love this lifestyle.
What no toy's
What is the weight of your trailer any concerns pulling it ...very nice set up
All info can be found on the FAQ section of jaclynheyen.com
I love your set up! It's perfect and comfortable
freedom is found in various ways. this sure is one of them. thanks for sharing.
I notice you are pulling the trailer with a Harley. I have been thinking about this as well. I have a Little Guy Rascal and plan to pull it with my 2006 Harley Dresser. Please let me know how well you bike pulls the trailer. Thank you so much
+Jeffrey Thompson pulls great. Needs at least 1500ccs and an added oil cooler.
Awesome lifestyle - simple is best! I'm getting there.
Happy Trails!
+Najja Foluke awesome!
Nice
wish I had the courage to try this, but at 67 I'm just too old to start over again! Still need to work so I can afford to retire someday... Sigh..... Do your dogs ride in the trailer when you are traveling? Don't you worry about it getting too hot in there?
It stays pretty cool in there... the windows open with a screen so they got a good view and a great breeze.
hubby & I both pull trailers for travel, camping but one day I'd like to get a teardrop.
we've dragged ours through every kind of weather.
I know you said trailer weight but I missed it? How big is your HD?
trailer 490 dry weight bike 1584cc

hey question how much do these little motorcycle trailers normally cost?
They don’t make this model anymore so I have no idea.
my biggest worry would be stopping the trailer with the bike
+Howard Moore braking hasn't been a problem... In the mountains, city and everywhere I've been. Leave room between you and the car in front of you and all will be good.
Admiration and safe travels!
That so cool I want to do that
Let me know if you every come by Indianapolis.
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.
+Ray Sarchet Crossed the Equator and the International Date Line just because, you know!? Oh, the Aurora Borealiis too
Cool Jackie! Enjoyed the video, love the way you live.
wow! super cool!!! love it!!!
that is so cool i want to try this one day
Nice and simple...Nice...All needs met...Glad I came across you today
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!

God so what happens when you want to sleep with a lady friend?
Awesome, really love it.
Remarkable, save turtles if you see any crossing the road.
Really Awesome from one biker to another keep the rubber side down 😎🤘
How hard does it pull in the mountains
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.

I now pull this trailer with a VW lifted diesel beetle and can go anywhere.
Great setup! It's nice knowing there are ppl living the dream most of us are too afraid to live. Great video and I hope all is well
Thank you!
Im 6"1 wouldn't even be comfortable I'd probably sleep on my handlebars
my dad is 6'3" and he has gotten in there... hahaha
What a fabulous find. Great video, thanks for the inspiration. Ride safe and enjoy the journey.
Thanks for the tour. Ride safe, Wind Sister!
I bet that Harley tows that trailer like nobody's business.
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!
this videos makes me want one its cool
I’m a new sub. Love this tiny way of life.
You're fantastic! Nice setup. I like your philosophy. There's something wonderful here.

some may not realize between that motorcycle and that tear drop that is a pretty expensive set up
+Super Dada It isn't as expensive as you think. Bought the bike new in 2007 and been my only source of transportation since... the trailer new in 2012 and cost under $25,000 for the bike, trailer and all the extras... I get 35-40 mpg and don't pay rent, campsite, electric.

Very nice you are an ispiration señorita. Thank you

I am in love...with you and your camper. I would love to have you visit so that I could get a private tour of your camper Thank you for posting.
Thank you!
nice,,, I havent gone as far as a trailer,,,but i have camped off the back of my fatboy, Really cool
+mothership love cool!
Moving toward or running away ............ JRW
+unclejack123 living the life I've always dreamed about.
Retirement dream
Looking for a small teardrop sorta' trailer home... Pulled by small 1.4Iitre 98 horsepower Chevy Spark. "IT CAN BE DONE." As confirmed by your video. AND with a lot more room and convenience. With solar on car and trailerl I'm good to go!!!
I want to do this so bad.
Very cool
How much that trailer cost? And what's the name of if, where you get it from? I want 1
Don't think i could live with no bathroom.
No one is asking you to. There are plenty of bathrooms all over the country.
Wow just came across this video be mistake I guess but why a great life. Lovely bike and fab little tear drop 😀
Admirable! Keep up the good word and the good work. Best to you and safe travels.
Thank you!

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!!!
why didn't you get a older class "C"
I think it is cruel to trailer a motorcycle. 😊 I get better gas mileage, less things to take care of and I get to ride every day.
I'm doing something very similar in life. Only on a boat.
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.
Thanks
Very cool!
Wonderful video! This is my dream. Thanks for sharing.
nice video , thanks for sharing....keep up the good work :)
Thank you!
Do you know where I could buy a bicycle trailer from?
Colour me impressed
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.

Hi, greatings from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. One question. The mirrors. Do you see anything from back? How do you do?

Great Philosphy! See you in Australia.

Hi, I'm from Brazil and I really liked your trailer. Can you tell his size?
Someday..i will have a setup like that! You go girl!!
thanks for the feedback.Happy trails.
Great job, keeping it simple!
+William K. Terrell thank you!
You are not to well organized. And I also thought your narration of things were not very well described.
Hi I like your teardrop trailer. Do you know where a person could purchase a teardrop trailer let me know thank you.
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
