    Stay near water sources plz! I walked 20 miles in the desert when my truck broke down, it is not a good feeling being alone with few resources! I hope you have a great radio system, it help with peace of mind!

      She has a motorbike to go get help in case her Commander broke down. Her RV probably has tens of gallons of fresh water. 2:00 and it sounds like she could do engine repair herself.

      Sudarshan Singh Ashiya you don’t need someone with you to take pictures. There is such thing as tripods with remotes for taking the photo, as well as timers....or a random passerby. She’s alone on the road.

    It’s refreshing to see people such as yourself to recycle the old rigs that are fully capable of giving you everything you need to go full time. So many van lifers are spending upwards of a month 100k and still don’t have all the features your older recycled rig has to offer. These older rigs are all over waiting for people such as yourself to invest your time and energies and save so so so much money !!

    Great job on your RV renovation. You’re doing what a lot of people wish they’d done when younger. You go girl!! Enjoy life but DON’T totally ignore fear. Fear will keep you alive in “stressful” situations! Listen to the little voice inside. When in doubt- don’t!!! Not trying to sound negative, but have a personal protection plan for whatever new situation you are exploring. A sidearm and some training with it would add more safety to whatever you explore. At least some bear spray and/or hornet spray. Unfortunately there are “things” other than bears or hornets that may require its use. Stay safe and pay attention to what’s around you at all times. Good luck 🍀

    Wow great interior decorating👍👍. I’ve seen a lot of RVs in the early 90s when I used to do CB/ham radio installations.I used to always recommend that what I see you have.Some heavy duty casters on the back of the RV so it doesn’t scrape off the bumper. If you don’t know 80% of your ability to talk on the CB radio is the Antenna system. I also recommend that you should get yourself a ham radio license so you can use the 2 m repeaters for FM voice chat or phone patch capability when you are out of cell range including talking all around the world if you desire it. I’ve also seen on TH-cam people building Wi-Fi antennas which is I think I must have for an RV /Van life living because you can always find a free hotspot within a mile.

There is another video where she states she doesn't have the funds to eat out so she cooks for herself close to every time. She appears to have no (permanent) regular occupation (some other ladies living on the road do). She's a minimalist and good for her. It's entirely possible to get away with 10,000 miles in three years time especially with the help of a road bike. She's a 21st century pioneer.

I actually bought a 1984 Volkswagen Westfalia camper van back in 2009. My plans are, much like you, to modify a jet ski trailer that l have and purchase a dual-sport 650cc motorcycle to tow along for all the "excursions" from wherever l'm camping out at. Alaska is my number 1 destination. Hope to make it happen this year. (If they can get this "virus-thing" under control! Wish me luck! Loved your story! Thanks for sharing!!!

    I wish I was braver. I literally have imagined living in a very similar RV. I was camping and traveling almost every summer as an only child back in the day in new mobile homes just like hers. Unfortunately I am a product of my parents and I was raised to plan ahead to avoid "bumps" in the road. My dad hated thinking that our new mobile home would break down so every year he bought a brand new one.
    I want to be her and just pack my furry kids into a house on wheels and live my true bohemian lifestyle. That's my other persona that nobody knows.
    She is so brave in so many ways. I got anxious when she said she painted the engine block gold. 😬😯 My mind was racing that something might happen to it because it's that proper engine colour.
    I wished I could take a pill to get over this perfectionism.
    Live your BEST LIFE GIRLFRIEND for all your gals that are out here living vicariously through you.
    We will be here if you need us but when I flap my wings I don't get lift off and I just crash land softly.
    Maybe one day I'll get my real big girl wings and a new brave heart. Maybe 😏🤞🏼🙏🏼🍀
