Just have to bite the bullet and do it which I find me did once. I filed for a retirement and I got some back pay with my savings so I kept debating between a little studio because california's expensive or get the motor home of my dreams , it's older , but low mileage and immaculate like they never used. I have bit of a sore knee. So I have to use the step stool to get app-and-down even though it's got running. Boards it's a small class b gulf stream. Turn all fiber glass body. And I had to go older these hold up better against rain. It's truly as like a little home on wheels. May not be able to drive as long as I want to cause. I'm sixty nine this year but i'm going for at least four years. And then I will live in it at a permanent camp site or trade in for a trailer. It's larger , cause you can get a larger trailer from less money because there's no motor. And by a small gas savings carbut I still will never rent as an Apartment. Because even the trailer you can move to wherever you want. I had a couple of offers in california on beautiful land one of them next to a small river on ranch property for less than an apartment. Alternate livings is becoming a reality.
She's absolutely right. I traveled across the country, coast to coast, 3 times in a van. I was 65 when I started and to this day it was my happiest time, such best memories. I had breakdowns, a ice storm scare and I never felt scared. Everyone I met was kind, helpful and so nice. I've bought a home now but I still dream of doing it again.
This intelligent, independent and lovely woman epitomizes why I became interested. She loves peace and quiet, nature, the beautiful landscapes, and a life well-lived. She's got it together folks. She keeps her home like I do mine, clean, organized and cozy. She's a free spirit and genuine. What a perfect home, I love it! Jeannie, if you see this, you're my inspiration. You're what this life is all about. A kind, generous soul is rare to find these days. Wishing you many, many happy journeys, laughs, smiles, friends, fun times, and peaceful nights. Thank you.
She’s so artistically talented and creative. And highly intelligent. Spinning her own yarn? Then knits with and gives the hand made items away? As well as book binding and giving everything she makes away? Wow. Very generous, kind person. Also, your interviewing style is so comfortable and relaxed, and you actually listen and don’t talk over the person. Enjoy your cadence tremendously. I’m also right there with her in her love and longing for the mountains and forests. No place I’d rather be than in the mountains. Really like her vibe. And the fact that she uses a lot of solar power. That Lazy Daze has a great lay out also. And some really nice features. The regular stove and oven is a huge plus. And who couldn’t fall in love with those huge windows providing that wide of a view in her living/knitting area? Peaceful and beautiful! Really like it.
l have said it before but l really like your style of listening and not talking over people. we really have slipped into that style its not relaxing to listen too. when l am with friends /family l notice l go quieter when the noise level goes up, and just smile and nod. its always my news resolution every year ,not to interrupt . keep well
jane smith ..you hit the nail on the head..I refuse to watch late night TV..I will watch reruns of Carson and Letterman and others.. very few interesting movie stars of today and the hosts are down right disgusting..the USA of today has taken a turn for the worst so I would rather be alone..I am starting to spend more time in southeast Asia and will probably move there for a while.. their small towns and countryside reminds me of the USA in the sixties..the people are more friendly and real..just sayings
Interrupting sometimes is a necessity, I can't hold a single thought sometimes to wait for some long winded people to stop and give me a chance to speak, so sometimes interrupting is necessary.
I love that her space isn't cluttered looking. And all that room to spread out in the rear. Love this rig. I like that she has a separate shower, too, rather than a tiny wet room.
I love these interview videos Bob. I wish you had the time to do a "Where Are They Now?" series. It would be great to see where some of these folks are today.😃
I like how Bob leads people into questions when there shy or open them up about certain questions that are commonly in question to anyone wanting to know an answer. I also like how Bob is very respectful as well & I also like how he covers from living out of a car to all other classes of travel.
She's so content, it's nice to see. And there are nice features about the motorhome that you get so much more out of hearing about from someone actually living the life. Love the customizations.
Jeannie is an inspiration. She knows what she wants and doesn't let anything stop her. I wish I were comfortable driving a bigger rig because you get a lot more for your money with these.
So much to say about this cool lady! I love how well she is so organized about where she stays for future reference. I love that she has a car, but I give her props for giving the scooter a shot before she was sure that a small car would suit her better . Her RV literally made me swoon! The well appointed kitchen, the beautiful bathroom, and the living room with the huge windows! Even her dog was lovely. Jeannie is fantastic, smart and did a.wonderful job making her RV so homey, literally nothing was left out in her mobile dwelling. Thanks for sharing!!!
Although this is a very old video which I have just found, I'd like to say to you, Jeannie, and Bob; you just changed my life Today, in an exceptional way! Abundant blessings!
This is awesome! I love to see a fellow fiber enthusiast living the RV lifestyle! I am like her, I make, but don't sell. Everything I have made and given to my mom she says "oh my goodness, you could make and sell these and make a fortune"! I'm not really interested. I like learning new patterns and techniques and then moving on. I do it as a relaxing hobby, but if I am constantly making the same things over and over to produce inventory, it becomes actual work and not relaxing anymore. Plus, between myself, my husband, my two sons, and family and friends everything I make finds a happy owner. My four year old son keeps me busy enough with him requests of amigurumi toys! 😂
This has to be my favorite rig yet...the big space and comfy, large sized twins in back with all those windows...that storage closet in the middle and that bathroom! It's to die for!! And that kitchen commands it's own respect!! That is a beautiful motor home. She's lucky!! I don't know if I could ever find the courage to drive something that big though but its probably one of those things you're scared of at first then it becomes a natural thing. Practice makes perfect. But, wow...just wow. This is my dream place!
If you're serious, it can be done. I did Renaissance Festivals (like 5) for 12 years. I had a 21 foot bumper pull trailer that I lived and crafted in. You just have to be creative with storage, but it can be done. So, don't let that stop you.
I was trying to figure out how my husband and I could retire in a Roadtrek, but now after seeing this I really think this is the better way to go for a married couple. Thank you so much for all you do, Bob.
I really have to give it up to all the wonderful women like Jeannie who've demonstrated the courage, strength, wisdom, perseverance, etc. in taking this kind of path individually. I'm encouraged to know that should my daughter (who is in college) take a similar path, she'll have plenty of good people out there to become friends with. Many thanks to Jeannie (and of course you too Bob) for allowing us an inside look into the lifestyle of nomadic living.
I think that of all the setups I've seen on your channel, I love this one the most! This RV is so homey and complete. It has everything you'd want; including enough space not to feel claustrophobic. I can even imagine living in it in cold weather. The addition of a car makes it the best. Jeannie made some really good moves with that. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent set up, especially for 2017. 360 watts of solar, plumbed propane heater to bypass furnace, rear basically turned into a living room with all the windows and towing a small car. Perfect.
Just a FYI for some viewers - there are 2 different RV dealers - "Lazy Days" and "Lazy Daze." The former is a big dealer but doesn't make anything. The "Daze" is a family-run manufacturer. This is what she has, and Bob spelled it correctly. I have seen people spelling it both ways and might not be aware of the difference. If you don't need to stealth camp much, this size looks very luxurious! It's immense! It really is a small house. Beyond my means. But it's beautiful.
hi Bob! I just bought my first rv 2 months ago with the plan to live in it when my apartment lease is up in the fall. Your videos are SO helpful and informative!!!! I am planning on making my rv 100% self sustaining so I won't need to ever hook it up to water, electricity, or. sewage. My dream is that you do a walkthrough of my rv someday!!!!! Keep on exploring!
When Bob asked her if she sold her knitting? - the look on her face said it all - and then she said she gave it away. Her true character came shining thru- a good hearted soul
always enjoy your videos. I love that you don't do all that music like so many vloggers are doing today..not just the nomad dwellers but all. I am very sound sensitive and makes me just turn them off. Great video.
How many feet is this? What's the luxury RV that's like this these days? As someone who cooks all the time and eats no processed food, it would really be nice to have a proper kitchen and fullish sized fridge. I want a home on wheels!
I love that she brings her wheel! I figured I'd just bring my inkle loom and drop spindles but I only have the 23.5 foot model and I don't have as much room
Go back and try to find one of the tinies, like she did... I have an old Ashford Traveller, but there are even smaller and lighter models out there...hitting the road shouldn't have to mean giving up essential activities (and as a fellow fibre addict - you probably know what I mean!) Good luck...and if you can find (or afford!) a Bosworth Journey Wheel...well, those are simply perfect - even in the smallest rig or van!
Oh, that's so great, congrats! I'm sure you will enjoy it so much. Maybe I'll see you out on the road, or at a LD gathering. Yes, I also have drop spindles and an inkle loom - they work great for small spaces. My wheel is a Sidekick by Schacht. Ashford also makes a small wheel. I think Majacraft has one that is small and folds compact. When I'm not spinning it lives on the driver's seat, out of the way. Jeanne
what a fabulous RV! and Jeanie was even towing one of the best (UK) cars I've ever driven (I called her Juliet 😁) best wishes to Jeanie and her pooch 👍
Thanks! Yeah, I doubt I would ever work for a large company again. My dream is to find a place to settle, somewhere, and work part-time in a yarn store. :-) Jeanne
Hello Cody! Hi Jeanie! Glad you got on the road! I just love this beautiful community. Wonderful friends to camp with. The true spirit of freedom. I hope one day to be on the road. And be part of this amazing community. Thank you mr Wells. You are a good man. Leslye
Wow, love the idea of the 2 beds in the back, So spacious, and the storage is Superb! YES, I can see myself living in one too! Looking it up now. And that dog is gorgeous ❤️, so Cute! Reminds me of a Toy Shepherd Collie we use to have!
Another watch if this great rig. Jeannie seems so easy going in her nice rig. Love that little pantry. Hope to bring my crocheting when I can get on the road. Thanks Bob.
Hi bob, I’ve been enjoying a lot of your vids, and other RVers as well. You look to have a great community who are supportive of one another. I’m not a RVer, I hang out in the trees hammock camping, Bushcraft, that sort of thing. My wife and I have had a motorhomes, and a campervan, and loved travelling around seeing different places in the uk, but watching you guys travelling around the states look vantastic . Love watching the communities vids and vlogs, and really admire the fortitude and ingenuity all the RV community show. So just to say thank you for great and wholesome viewing. Keep up the good work bob, and all you Vanners. You all seem to be nice people... VANNERS WITH MANNERS... I would call you all. Great stuff. All the best to you all, stay safe. Greetings from England...Regards....Shane
it is so nice to see a fellow spinner and Knitter out on the road because I was trying to figure out...am I going to be able to still do my spinning and knitting out there or am I just going to be able to do my painting... I don't know... I wasn't sure... but now that I see her doing it... it makes me... makes me really happy...
Hello fellow fiber fanatic! I have a friend with the same Lazy Daze floorplan and she removed one of the couches to put in her floor loom and spinning wheel. I chose not to do that, but rather get equipment that fold up and take up less space. I left my 20" Schacht Flip Loom stored back at my folks' place this year. That's harder to use in the RV. I do have my inkle loom, which is really good for this small space. My wheel is a Schacht Sidekick. Love it. Hope to see you on the road. :-)
@@JeanneKnits I too love fiberarts and have been working toward making the transition to a nomadic lifestyle. Your rig looks perfectly spacious. I love it. It's great to see a spinning wheel in an RV. I am jealous of your view in your knitting space and hope to be able to join you in a few years! Paying off debt and saving the money to buy a rig. I also like the idea of towing a car. I go back and forth between wanting a van, towing a trailer, or towing a car with an RV. Maybe more of these videos will help me decide, but I really like your set up. How long do you typically camp in one location?
@@JeanneKnits This is REALLY something I can identify with since I am a knitter, spinner, and weaver. This is something I can really envision working for me when I retire in a few years. Fiber Fanatics unite!
I had about 2 years of research and envy before hitting the road. One of my favorite sites, and got me onto Lazy Daze, was AndyBaird.com and his Travels with Gertie. Then his upgrade to Skylark. Could be envy overload though!! Jeanne
That is a beautiful house on wheels. I could easily live in something like that, especially b/c of the full kitchen and that room in the back with those uber awesome windows! That's livin large in a small space. It's my dream to be doing the same thing too - sooon!
I would recommend that when you put the white windshield cover on that you keep the windshield wipers under the cover. That way, they will be protected from sun damage and will last a lot longer. Happy trails ~
Thank YOU so much Bob for interviewing this very intuitive, intelligent, interesting and informative person Jeannie. She had so much knowledge to share in this video & did so in a short time. My husband & I will be new to camping as I am going to be an empty nester & want to finally buy an RV. He wants TT & I want a Class C like Jeannie so working on those kinks now. I love her rig. Thanks again Sir!
I absolutely love love this rig set up! the whole backside being a very comfortable "sitting" room type thing with amazing window viewing! love it love it love it
Bravo! Another excellent video, Bob! I just discovered your channel today and I've really enjoyed watching these informative and interesting video interviews. Thanks to Jeannie for sharing her story and inviting us into her home. That's a sweet set-up she has, especially with the car to run errands and short side trips without breaking down her base camp. Thanks to you, also, Bob!
What an amazing life these people seem to be living.Being in nature away from the maddening crowd living a sort of minimalistic life is my dream that I want to experience before I leave this planet.Just going through these interview videos is intoxicating and highly addictive.Living this kind of life for years requires careful planning and I believe that these folks must be really good at their jobs before they decided to kick the corporate bs and become free.
After serving the USAF for about 30 years... I understood what i was getting into w/Dell. So it wasn't a surprise when the layoffs happened. Hopefully we will meet on the road.
Wow! I'm starting in a travel trailer and a truck, because I already owned the truck. I already planned to upgrade to a Class C by next spring, and this Lazy Daze floor plan will be what I will work towards. I've even started researching and have begun narrowing in on a year. Thanks so much for sharing this RV with us!
I remember this video when it first came out. I love seeing creative people doing what they love on the road. And I love the Lazy Daze motorhomes but she's right - unless you live in California they are hard to come by.
What a wonderful interview...and a "dream" rig! I am so impressed with Jeanne, her spinning and crafts...and her generosity. I'd love to meet her...when and if I ever get out on the road. Still have a house and major junk to part with! Thanks for so much great info. on boondocking. This is one of my favorite interviews! Thanks, Bob and Jeanne!
Much respect and many kudos go out to those nomadic minded folks who have made the bold decision to hit the road over the course of many years. These are the people who have chosen to search for their dreams in a powerful and impactful way. Bob, my hat goes off to you for discovering this all-important niche and dutifully reporting on your findings. My heart and soul pours out to those who have proven over and over again that almost anyone can do this - including yours truly. Keep these all too important videos coming! Your voice, their voices are being heard loud and clear. The travel warrior mentality lives on in a big, big way. Thank you, sir, for your continued hard work and focus.
Enjoyed the video. It is interesting to see how people blossom when they shed the rat race and start actually enjoying life...making more friends..seeing so many different places
A Very organized lady !! I can relate to being bored easy and entertained easily. Stress in a job is a killer. I look forward to being done each day I go to work.
I watched this video a few months ago and was impressed enough to purchase a 2003 LD with the same floor plan. I will be picking it up in Santa Fe, NM in a few days and returning to CA. After my retirement in March 2018 I will be on the road full time and hope to meet up with you and others. Great video Jeannie.
As my husband and I are preparing for this life starting around next March 2020. I told him we could each pick one big thing to hang on to. He picked his keyboard. I’m picking my yarn, as I crochet. And yes I have a craft website but usually end up giving my projects away. For some reason that’s more satisfying to me.
NIce rig! Love it! "I like waking up in beautiful places". You GO girl!!! Yes - would be super neat to have videos that follow-up with some of these folk! Thank you for sharing these!
Jeanne I sew and I give my stuff away too. I guess we don't appreciate our talents! I'm like you I don't wanna mess with the retail end of having a shop with shipping and stuff . Keep knitting! I will be sewing from the road soon!
I had not heard of Lazy daze before. loved it. It had the best bathroom. thanks Bob for all the videos you do. Best wishes to you and your family in the care of you dear mother. I also take care of my mom and dad. By the time we get on the road I should be well educated in how, when and where to traveling and living off grid. safe travels to Jennie.lv from the south.
I LOVE this RV!!! I wish we could get them in Canada, I really love the layout and that back couch/king bedroom!!! So lovely, but sadly not easy to find...
I really like her rv layout and the area back there has two sofas that could be used as two twin beds for sleeping if a person has two children. Love all the room and I would get one like this for my sons and myself.
Great video and interview..you have a great interviewing style sir. You give the subject of your interview the chance to speak fully when answering your questions. Great content, thanks Jeannie and thanks Bob, keep up the great work.
I am ashamed that I am so envious of this woman. She is living the life that I crave. Great interview Bob. Happy travels Jeanne
Go for it
Just have to bite the bullet and do it which I find me did once. I filed for a retirement and I got some back pay with my savings so I kept debating between a little studio because california's expensive or get the motor home of my dreams , it's older , but low mileage and immaculate like they never used. I have bit of a sore knee. So I have to use the step stool to get app-and-down even though it's got running. Boards it's a small class b gulf stream. Turn all fiber glass body. And I had to go older these hold up better against rain. It's truly as like a little home on wheels. May not be able to drive as long as I want to cause. I'm sixty nine this year but i'm going for at least four years. And then I will live in it at a permanent camp site or trade in for a trailer. It's larger , cause you can get a larger trailer from less money because there's no motor. And by a small gas savings carbut I still will never rent as an Apartment. Because even the trailer you can move to wherever you want. I had a couple of offers in california on beautiful land one of them next to a small river on ranch property for less than an apartment. Alternate livings is becoming a reality.
Don’t be envious be inspired❤
What a breath of fresh air. She's great!
What I love about this channel is how we get all the personal stories and not just an RV tour.
Yep part of the big picture.
She's absolutely right. I traveled across the country, coast to coast, 3 times in a van. I was 65 when I started and to this day it was my happiest time, such best memories. I had breakdowns, a ice storm scare and I never felt scared. Everyone I met was kind, helpful and so nice. I've bought a home now but I still dream of doing it again.

That actually sounds like a wonderful follow up to his already awesome videos! Good thinking! Maybe this is something he'd be willing/able to do!
NoProGoPronto yes, good idea a few years later. He does cross paths with a few n maybe they have "remodeled"
That would totally be an awesome video, would love a follow up on these people, seen all the videos feel like I already know most of y’all. 😀
NoProGoPronto Good Idea !!
and like so many great ideas, it fell on deaf ears and never happened...
Jeannie seems like a friendly person who has the good fortune to live in a beautiful home and lifestyle of which many of us dream. I'm happy for her.

Parking in beautiful places is enhanced by great big windows. :-)

this was actually the first time I had RV envy! apart from changing the decor and ripping out the redundant "furnace", it was a fantastic layout.
Yeah, I love that room with the windows too!
I really have to give it up to all the wonderful women like Jeannie who've demonstrated the courage, strength, wisdom, perseverance, etc. in taking this kind of path individually.
I'm encouraged to know that should my daughter (who is in college) take a similar path, she'll have plenty of good people out there to become friends with. Many thanks to Jeannie (and of course you too Bob) for allowing us an inside look into the lifestyle of nomadic living.

This is a lady after my own heart..crafting while travelling... Love it... Like the RV layout.
you need to revisit jeannie and update her story
Nice lady and you can tell she is very happy with her RV.
Jeannie , I love your spirit of giving away your art instead of selling it for profit , so refreshing :)
God bless you
I love that she can keep her fiber arts passion with her on her travels. Amazing!
The views out the windows in these tours always are so stunning, look like paintings.
Excellent set up, especially for 2017. 360 watts of solar, plumbed propane heater to bypass furnace, rear basically turned into a living room with all the windows and towing a small car. Perfect.
Just a FYI for some viewers - there are 2 different RV dealers - "Lazy Days" and "Lazy Daze." The former is a big dealer but doesn't make anything. The "Daze" is a family-run manufacturer.

Thanks for this tip...Yes, I went to the wrong site!
Christine, thank you, excellent point and not too many people are aware of the difference.
kind of like the "Mr buddy heater" but its really spelled "Mr Heater"
Christine Sutton I have seen a few mid 80s lazy dazes at 23'.they're fab
12Sisters1Bride 1of12 nice. When I get closer to looking for a vehicle I will keep that in mind.
Her rig has such a content look on its face.
I wonder, if the Lazy Days camper, if it's insulated well. What are cold nights, are like in it...?
This comment made me laugh out loud once I got a good look at the face of the camper! You are correct, sir!
hi Bob! I just bought my first rv 2 months ago with the plan to live in it when my apartment lease is up in the fall. Your videos are SO helpful and informative!!!! I am planning on making my rv 100% self sustaining so I won't need to ever hook it up to water, electricity, or. sewage. My dream is that you do a walkthrough of my rv someday!!!!! Keep on exploring!

Jeannie is a really wonderful soul...I really like how she thinks! Great interview & walk thru Bob 👍👌
Thank you! :-)

always enjoy your videos. I love that you don't do all that music like so many vloggers are doing today..not just the nomad dwellers but all. I am very sound sensitive and makes me just turn them off. Great video.
Thanks Jeannie, and thank you boB. Oops spelled your name backwards, I ment Bob!
Nice RV. We just got a Thor 24 foot. We love it. Were gona being living in it full time asap. Just rapping up some stuff. Oh happy day. 😜👍🏽. Ty Bob
Will you show your new home (24 ft RV) on TH-cam? I am so interested in living in one when I retire. 24 foot seems comfortable.
How many feet is this? What's the luxury RV that's like this these days? As someone who cooks all the time and eats no processed food, it would really be nice to have a proper kitchen and fullish sized fridge. I want a home on wheels!
I just found my Lazy Daze in April! I'm fixing it up now, full time in 2018!
I love that she brings her wheel! I figured I'd just bring my inkle loom and drop spindles but I only have the 23.5 foot model and I don't have as much room
brimstonefondue I sold my wheel in preparation for possible full-timing soon. Now I wish I hadn't.
Go back and try to find one of the tinies, like she did... I have an old Ashford Traveller, but there are even smaller and lighter models out there...hitting the road shouldn't have to mean giving up essential activities (and as a fellow fibre addict - you probably know what I mean!) Good luck...and if you can find (or afford!) a Bosworth Journey Wheel...well, those are simply perfect - even in the smallest rig or van!
Oh, that's so great, congrats! I'm sure you will enjoy it so much. Maybe I'll see you out on the road, or at a LD gathering.
Yes, I also have drop spindles and an inkle loom - they work great for small spaces. My wheel is a Sidekick by Schacht. Ashford also makes a small wheel. I think Majacraft has one that is small and folds compact. When I'm not spinning it lives on the driver's seat, out of the way.
Jeanne
This is a good one. She loves fiber arts and so do I.
It's a good, generally light, hobby. Weight in all RV's is a consideration. Fibery things are usually good for this lifestyle.
Jeanne
what a fabulous RV! and Jeanie was even towing one of the best (UK) cars I've ever driven (I called her Juliet 😁) best wishes to Jeanie and her pooch 👍
LOL! I know the owner of Dell Computers, Jeanie, knowing him, I call see why your job was horrible! I am glad you are happy now!!
Thanks! Yeah, I doubt I would ever work for a large company again. My dream is to find a place to settle, somewhere, and work part-time in a yarn store. :-)
Jeanne
@@JeanneKnits did you achieve your dream?
SHE'S A VERY INTERESTNG LADY. VERY SMART!! THANKS BOB.
I love the layout she has. What a fun hobby! I love anything crafty. :)
Hello Cody! Hi Jeanie! Glad you got on the road! I just love this beautiful community. Wonderful friends to camp with. The true spirit of freedom. I hope one day to be on the road. And be part of this amazing community. Thank you mr Wells. You are a good man. Leslye
Thanks Jeanie, I admire what you’re doing. Thank you Bob for another great interview.
Wow, love the idea of the 2 beds in the back, So spacious, and the storage is Superb! YES, I can see myself living in one too! Looking it up now. And that dog is gorgeous ❤️, so Cute! Reminds me of a Toy Shepherd Collie we use to have!
Another watch if this great rig. Jeannie seems so easy going in her nice rig. Love that little pantry. Hope to bring my crocheting when I can get on the road. Thanks Bob.
Hi bob, I’ve been enjoying a lot of your vids, and other RVers as well. You look to have a great community who are supportive of one another. I’m not a RVer, I hang out in the trees hammock camping, Bushcraft, that sort of thing. My wife and I have had a motorhomes, and a campervan, and loved travelling around seeing different places in the uk, but watching you guys travelling around the states look vantastic . Love watching the communities vids and vlogs, and really admire the fortitude and ingenuity all the RV community show. So just to say thank you for great and wholesome viewing. Keep up the good work bob, and all you Vanners. You all seem to be nice people... VANNERS WITH MANNERS... I would call you all. Great stuff. All the best to you all, stay safe. Greetings from England...Regards....Shane
it is so nice to see a fellow spinner and Knitter out on the road because I was trying to figure out...am I going to be able to still do my spinning and knitting out there or am I just going to be able to do my painting... I don't know... I wasn't sure... but now that I see her doing it... it makes me... makes me really happy...
Hello fellow fiber fanatic! I have a friend with the same Lazy Daze floorplan and she removed one of the couches to put in her floor loom and spinning wheel. I chose not to do that, but rather get equipment that fold up and take up less space. I left my 20" Schacht Flip Loom stored back at my folks' place this year. That's harder to use in the RV. I do have my inkle loom, which is really good for this small space. My wheel is a Schacht Sidekick. Love it.
Hope to see you on the road. :-)
@@JeanneKnits I too love fiberarts and have been working toward making the transition to a nomadic lifestyle. Your rig looks perfectly spacious. I love it. It's great to see a spinning wheel in an RV. I am jealous of your view in your knitting space and hope to be able to join you in a few years! Paying off debt and saving the money to buy a rig.
I also like the idea of towing a car. I go back and forth between wanting a van, towing a trailer, or towing a car with an RV. Maybe more of these videos will help me decide, but I really like your set up. How long do you typically camp in one location?
@@JeanneKnits This is REALLY something I can identify with since I am a knitter, spinner, and weaver. This is something I can really envision working for me when I retire in a few years. Fiber Fanatics unite!
We just bought our second Lazy Daze - same floor plan. This is the video that started it! TY Bob and Jeanie.
This by far is my most favorite of all CheapRVliving segments I have watched.
By far one of my favorite set ups. I could easily live the way she does. I have serious envy. Thank you for sharing this video.
I had about 2 years of research and envy before hitting the road. One of my favorite sites, and got me onto Lazy Daze, was AndyBaird.com and his Travels with Gertie. Then his upgrade to Skylark. Could be envy overload though!!
Jeanne
That is a beautiful house on wheels. I could easily live in something like that, especially b/c of the full kitchen and that room in the back with those uber awesome windows! That's livin large in a small space. It's my dream to be doing the same thing too - sooon!
Thanks Bob for another great interview. Jeannie, you are a gem! Keep on gifting your art...much needed in an over-monetized world! Riley...RIP ;)
yeah it's nice to see that
I would recommend that when you put the white windshield cover on that you keep the windshield wipers under the cover. That way, they will be protected from sun damage and will last a lot longer. Happy trails ~
Love the size she has! So much room to do what she loves. Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful video. Jeannie, your rig is superb! I love the layout and the windows in the back making it so open!
Thanks! It's one of Lazy Daze's most popular floorplans. I knew I wanted one after seeing it on AndyBaird.com
Jeanne
Missy B Yes, I forgot to mention the HUGE windows!
Great interview. Jeannie's hobby is cool and the mini spin wheel looked unique. Love the back ground stories.
Thank YOU so much Bob for interviewing this very intuitive, intelligent, interesting and informative person Jeannie. She had so much knowledge to share in this video & did so in a short time. My husband & I will be new to camping as I am going to be an empty nester & want to finally buy an RV. He wants TT & I want a Class C like Jeannie so working on those kinks now. I love her rig. Thanks again Sir!
I absolutely love love this rig set up! the whole backside being a very comfortable "sitting" room type thing with amazing window viewing! love it love it love it
What a pleasant person! I am so glad that she is living how she chooses.
Bravo! Another excellent video, Bob! I just discovered your channel today and I've really enjoyed watching these informative and interesting video interviews. Thanks to Jeannie for sharing her story and inviting us into her home. That's a sweet set-up she has, especially with the car to run errands and short side trips without breaking down her base camp. Thanks to you, also, Bob!
What an amazing life these people seem to be living.Being in nature away from the maddening crowd living a sort of minimalistic life is my dream that I want to experience before I leave this planet.Just going through these interview videos is intoxicating and highly addictive.Living this kind of life for years requires careful planning and I believe that these folks must be really good at their jobs before they decided to kick the corporate bs and become free.
This is a really nice RV, and a very interesting lady and her wonderful life, thanks Bob, for this nice video, as usual. Stay Free People!
Yea working for Dell will drive you crazy... I j got layed off in March. Getting my RV next week and will be on the road by 6/29...
Oh, so sorry about that. But glad you will be able to go traveling! Enjoy!
Jeanne
After serving the USAF for about 30 years... I understood what i was getting into w/Dell. So it wasn't a surprise when the layoffs happened. Hopefully we will meet on the road.
Congratulations on your new rig spacedredd, it sounds like your making the best out of a bad situation.
Myself I want to commend you for traveling with a nice well behaved dog. And not some tiny little toy for a dog either.
Interesting. Is Dell a Problem Employer?
Wow! I'm starting in a travel trailer and a truck, because I already owned the truck. I already planned to upgrade to a Class C by next spring, and this Lazy Daze floor plan will be what I will work towards. I've even started researching and have begun narrowing in on a year. Thanks so much for sharing this RV with us!
I remember this video when it first came out. I love seeing creative people doing what they love on the road. And I love the Lazy Daze motorhomes but she's right - unless you live in California they are hard to come by.
Wow! Talented lady. I wish that she was interested in running an Etsy shop. Creators like her make the best stuff, because it's coming from the heart.
What a wonderful interview...and a "dream" rig! I am so impressed with Jeanne, her spinning and crafts...and her generosity. I'd love to meet her...when and if I ever get out on the road. Still have a house and major junk to part with! Thanks for so much great info. on boondocking. This is one of my favorite interviews! Thanks, Bob and Jeanne!
Much respect and many kudos go out to those nomadic minded folks who have made the bold decision to hit the road over the course of many years. These are the people who have chosen to search for their dreams in a powerful and impactful way. Bob, my hat goes off to you for discovering this all-important niche and dutifully reporting on your findings. My heart and soul pours out to those who have proven over and over again that almost anyone can do this - including yours truly. Keep these all too important videos coming! Your voice, their voices are being heard loud and clear. The travel warrior mentality lives on in a big, big way. Thank you, sir, for your continued hard work and focus.
I love that area with the 270 degree view and natural light.
Enjoyed the video. It is interesting to see how people blossom when they shed the rat race and start actually enjoying life...making more friends..seeing so many different places
I LOVE the 270° view!!!! Great tour and great lady. I wish I could get over my fear and take off in my Class C
This is a home on wheels for one or two people, love this lay out!
I hope to run into her when I hit the road! what a beautiful soul!
Hope so! :-)
A Very organized lady !! I can relate to being bored easy and entertained easily. Stress in a job is a killer. I look forward to being done each day I go to work.
this is one of the first ones I saw and I was hooked! This is my dream set up.
Just saw this, and as a spinner, knitter and weaver going ft in 6 months, Jeannie is an inspiration!
Hope you have many happy trails to come your way. The RV is spacious and is well built with real wood. Love your little dog.
Love this one!! The living area with the windows everywhere is heaven.
If I did this living, her set up would be ideal for me. I need a bathroom and kitchen area.
I watched this video a few months ago and was impressed enough to purchase a 2003 LD with the same floor plan. I will be picking it up in Santa Fe, NM in a few days and returning to CA. After my retirement in March 2018 I will be on the road full time and hope to meet up with you and others. Great video Jeannie.
As my husband and I are preparing for this life starting around next March 2020. I told him we could each pick one big thing to hang on to. He picked his keyboard. I’m picking my yarn, as I crochet. And yes I have a craft website but usually end up giving my projects away. For some reason that’s more satisfying to me.
She's doing what I hope to be doing soon!
Love that setup and her crafts she is able to do! Great vid!
I love her rig and the floor plan!
Best floor plan for a crafter. Love her craft room.
NIce rig! Love it! "I like waking up in beautiful places". You GO girl!!! Yes - would be super neat to have videos that follow-up with some of these folk! Thank you for sharing these!
For some reason this one inspires me more than others. I guess I can just relate in many ways. Love it.
Bob, your videos are good, but this one was one of your better ones, good info...thanks.
I love your travel home. It is my favorite of all I have seen. I like that the home gives you room for your crafts.
this is one of my fav rvs.great chassis for weight/tow ability,not to mention the floorplans.👍👍
Jeanne I sew and I give my stuff away too. I guess we don't appreciate our talents! I'm like you I don't wanna mess with the retail end of having a shop with shipping and stuff . Keep knitting! I will be sewing from the road soon!
I had not heard of Lazy daze before. loved it. It had the best bathroom. thanks Bob for all the videos you do. Best wishes to you and your family in the care of you dear mother. I also take care of my mom and dad. By the time we get on the road I should be well educated in how, when and where to traveling and living off grid. safe travels to Jennie.lv from the south.
I LOVE this RV!!! I wish we could get them in Canada, I really love the layout and that back couch/king bedroom!!! So lovely, but sadly not easy to find...
Nice video, what a well behaved dog! 💜
I enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing this with us all.
I really like her rv layout and the area back there has two sofas that could be used as two twin beds for sleeping if a person has two children. Love all the room and I would get one like this for my sons and myself.
Great video and interview..you have a great interviewing style sir. You give the subject of your interview the chance to speak fully when answering your questions. Great content, thanks Jeannie and thanks Bob, keep up the great work.
