    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!!!

      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 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!💕

    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. 🩷

    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.

    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!

    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!
