From an older woman w/3 cats...to a younger woman w/3 cats - could you be any more darling, down-to-earth, and humorous?? You could not! A wonderful tour - with ideas even for a person with about ten-percent of what you have.:) And..a bidet?! Can't wait to share...
OMG. I wanna say the same thing.. She is a little bundle of cutie pie. I've been pondering my future, learning recently after 30 years with someone, how to kinda start on my own again. I have my cats & work for a lady who does cat rescue. Im kinda her pet helper, caregiver when she travels for her over 41 cats. I always wanted to try the R.V. full time living. I have had R.V' s back in my younger days, basically for vacation use & my husband usually took care of all the things I see you doing. I adore your sweet personality and yes, " can you get any sweeter". Omgoodness, you are adorable. What caught my attention most after I first realized im living in basically a one bedroom, that basically holds everything i took from my 3 bedroom home and jammed into this now 1 bedroom space, is watching ur video, not only made me realize, I would have plenty of living space for all the cats items and my own, but it also took me back in time, when I would daydream in my RVs of different ways I could rearrange things to suit my needs better, kinda, if I ever had to live in a RV by myself, how I would prefer it to be set up. Well then you explained "just that" as you gave us a tour. Well at the end, you pulled me closer in, when you said, how you wanted to make more videos for single ladies, not to be intimidated by this heavy equipment, and when you said, the magic words, it was hard to find places to get info on what you needed to learn. I was sold. So yes, I would enjoy hearing ALL about how you started out, the ups & downs, how you became more confident with everything from leveling the rv, to filling tanks & emptying them. How is it driving & pulling one, did you just take off one day, all alone & just learned as you went. What would you recommend for future single ladies with cats and more. I can honestly say, seeing your bright, cheerful smile & how comfortable you are with the entire RV lifestyle, would be something I truly would love to do. The cool part is, im in my early 50's now starting over, pretty much from scratch & seeing you so young, free spirited has me thinking so much since I finished viewing your video Oh. And if she at her young age can do this, maybe there is hope on the horizon for me too. I suppose I just need to learn how...Sorry wrote so much, but the way I see it, I have only nice things to say, and a willing to learn from your experiences. Wow. Thank you for posting your video tour. Well done. Looking forward to all your tips, tricks, fyi's & your do's & don'ts.
Please forgive me as I wasn’t looking at comments with new responses until just now!!!! I am SO GLAD this tour has shown you that you can handle this kind of space with you and your kitties! I hope you’re still feeling inspired about this lifestyle because you can truly do this. Yes, it’s a lot to learn BUT it’s a lot less intimidating that I thought it was going to be. You just have to START! Since this video has gone up, I’ve been posting videos on leveling, disconnecting, and more about how I do it alone. I hope those have been helping! As for pulling/driving, I’m VERY lucky to have come from a family of semi-truck drivers, so I got some amazing lessons from them on how to handle this. The most helpful thing I find is making sure to have towing mirrors: the kind that have 2 mirrors on each side: one that points up to show you people in the lane next to you, and one that points down to show where your trailer is in your line. I often times get nervous and feel like I’m SO wide and not sure if I’m in my lane. With a quick flick of my eyes to each mirror I’m easily reassured that yes I am in my lane - or I see that I’m not and adjust myself.
Beautiful and functional and pet-friendly! THANK YOU so much for going over the bathroom section thoroughly. So many camper vids overlook this aspect and it's a major concern and point of interest for those of us contemplating this lifestyle. I love how you love your kitties!
You’ve made your trailer into a home. So pretty. I have 6 cats (and 4 dogs). We spent 3 years living full time in an RV but live in a home now. However, we are leaving tomorrow for a few months in the RV again. I love seeing others traveling with their pets and making it work. You have beautiful fur babies.
Would like to know how it was with your pac as I also have 4 dogs and 6 cats. Lost my 18 year old cat in Dec. dose are small with the exception of my 95 lb. German Shepard. Would love to hear about your experience.
@@dawnmarkey2194 my largest dog is 86 lbs, though he was almost 100 lbs when we left. The big dog is fine with the cats but the smaller dogs don’t care for them. My dogs weren’t raised with cats. So we tow a cargo trailer that we converted for the cats behind my SUV and my husband tows a fifth wheel for us and the dogs. The big dog and the cats travel in my car and the three smaller dogs travel in the truck.
Well done Ellen. I wish you well with your channel and I am so happy to see you showing the girls that caravanning is not an exclusive men's club. I always taught my daughters that they can do anything if they set their mind to it, and from experience girls can often do it better because they do not charge in like a bull in a china shop. And for the record, I have employed girls to do what were supposed to be blokes jobs in the past and never been disappointed.
I'm SO GLAD I found your channel. I'll be getting my trailer and traveling full time with my three cats. My target is March. Your trailer is great and I'm very envious of that little wood stove. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing your home!
This showed up on my feed and I assumed it was another "van life" channel I'm subscribed to. While watching it I'm thinking I hope she has her own channel - get to the end and see it's your own video!!
Best wishes from a cat lover in France. I really love your home on wheels. I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Take good care of yourself. Hugs to your lovely furbabies. 👏👍🙏🐱🐱🐱
Just found you and subscribed. Awesome home. I have a cat, and I am planning to go full-time. I might reach out for cat advice. Looking forward to more videos. Cheers.
Thank you!!! I’m so excited for you and your Kitty! Yes, please reach out any time! I’m happy to help in any way I can. Thank you for following along - it really means a lot!
I love my private environment.....and my sweet kitties all ok within. When weather warms up in spring.....they will enjoy my screened porch area. Thks for your news of You!!! Joyfully carry on!!! Ahna
Nice video. Never seen such a beautiful trailer! I am a young woman with two cats living in a tiny house on wheels, although I have it stationary. Your last comment is exactly the realization I reached that spurred me to make the change... you do not need to wait for a partnert. You can do it on your own. Enjoy your home and your cats!
Glad I came across your video. I just bought a vintage camper and plan to do renovations in the spring/summer. I loved the tour. I also appreciate hearing from another woman.
For those who aren't ready to install a bidet in their RV or van, there is a product out now called toilet paper spray that accomplishes much of what a bidet can do for you (only it leaves a "fresh scent" and I don't like to be reminded of what just transpired). Any spray bottle that mists and is filled with water would work. Just spray the toilet paper and use. The place you parked is beautiful. When I think RV park my mind sees RV's packed in like sardines and occupied by either retired couples or characters from Trailer Park Boys. If you have found the secret of finding peaceful (and hopefully affordable) RV spots that is something that would make a nice episode for your channel. I only have 1 cat and plan on van life to escape civilization, but "the secret" to a peaceful parking spot close to civilization could be useful.
I clicked on your video because I love watching tiny home living AND your name is ELLEN! Then, while watching, you said your mom’s name is Barb! Well my mom’s name is Barb as well! And I love cats! Lots in common! I can’t wait to see more of your content!
Hi Ellen, I really enjoyed meeting you and your beautiful cats. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs who my husband and I travel with. I look forward to following your travels online. Best wishes from Australia. Trish.
I can see you don't have many videos up yet, but this one is so professionally put together and edited for a first intro to your channel! I love the vibe you give off, and your RV looks gorgeous (the kitties won me over too). I can't wait for more updates from you!
AHH! Such a high compliment thank you!! I will admit that I was in A/V for 3 years of high school and pursued film editing in college before switching to a different major soooo I freaking love this kind of stuff. Thank you so much for the high praise!!
Thank you so much! Thankfully I did 2 outdoor burns before I installed it so it’s all primed and ready to go (especially bc I have the backordered part now!!!)
@@boldlysheroams I live full time in Alaska in my RV, so my Cubic Mini has been a blessing, a nice toasty warm blessing. When it's 10 degrees outside, its about 60 inside. I don't even mind cutting wood.
Lovely video, you 15yr old cat looks like a youngster!! I would love a bidet, they are not really a thing here in the Uk, only very posh houses mostly have them and for many homes there just isn't the space for one but yours is a really good option rather than have a separate bidet bowl.
Thank you so much!!! His health is still really good, thankfully! And you need to make them a thing!! There’s gotta be some cheap options like mine to throw on your water line. In the US we also have ones that you can put under the toilet seat- they’ve gotta have those there too. Those ones are better than what I have now
Your babies are beautiful and how exciting for you to travel and live the way you want! Old me is jealous of young you. Looking forward to more videos!
I’m a fan of watching rv videos & this video was a suggestion. as soon as you showed the inside before explaining I was like oooh! Looks like a home. Like it!
@Boldly She Roams, I’m so excited to find your channel. I am a single female (older than you) and I travel in my truck and 20ft travel trailer (EPro 19BH). My travel companions are my 2 dogs and 2 cats. I have a home base, as I have a full time job that requires I show my face in the office 3days a week (Bummer!!). This means my travel is periodic, vacation time travel, but I really seek to cover as much territory as possible. I love your mods, and I especially relate to your love of popcorn (I’ve grown my own in my small backyard garden for years!). I an also say that replacing my RV toilet with my homemade diversion toilet has been one of my most favorite mods (I’m sticking with tp, though, as a bidet still uses precious water). This is your first video and the first I’ve watched, so it is likely I’ll binge through those you’ve posted since. I’m looking forward to sharing your adventure vicariously.😁😁
I am so honored that you binged all those videos and I’m so glad you found me!! You seem to have found a great way to explore even with an in-person job and that is so inspiring! What are some of the favorite places you’ve been? Also- YOU GROW YOUR OWN POPCORN???? I am telling my whole family this IMMEDIATELY!!!!
This video showed up in my feed, and I got hooked! Thanks for sharing your home - you have an engaging personality, and I look forward to seeing the rest of your vids - keep 'em coming, cheers, Francisca aka auntifranny
Love what you have done with your RV so cozy! I hope you will make a video showing us how you hitch her up to your truck & set up when you get to camp .
Love, love, love this video!! You’re so down to earth. I travel with two older cats. They never leave the RV, but I have Apple air tags on them if they do get out. I have a much bigger RV than you. I noticed you have a little tent that your youngest goes out in. I’m afraid to bring mine outside at all. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to more videos! ❤
High five to a fellow RV’er with cats!!! I need to get some AirTags like you. But yes the only time they go outside is if they go directly into that tent! Jojo is obsessed with it Thank you so much for subscribing!!
You are so cute! Love your tour, cats, and you!! I live in a 5th Wheel by a lake in a RV Park. Do not travel yet. I also bought a Casita 17 foot trailer for my Special Need Son & I to go to the beach.
@Ellen Elizabeth I have been to the beach in my Class C that I traded in for 5th Wheel. Looking forward to Beach days in Oceanside, CA in Casita in Spring.❤️
I like seeing content from solo females also. I have a 24 foot class c that I upgraded to from a 14 foot AR One travel trailer. I like the extra room a lot and it isn't much longer than most bigger vans. I got tired of hitching and unhitching too. So nice to have found your channel. I would love to convert or add solar to my rig so I don't have to use the generator when boon docking.
Yay fellow solo female!!! Thank you so much for watching! I completely understand and can see the hitching/unhitching process getting tiresome. I think what’s making it still bearable for me is that I have no slides so as soon as I’m unhitched, I’m ready to rock’n’roll! Crossing my fingers for your future solar setup!
Ok, I've seen enough to subscribe. I absolutely love your trailer and the way you've set it up! I also love that you're a single female who wants to teach other single females how to manage a 21' travel trailer. Although I'm quite a bit older than you are, I would really like to learn how to do these things. And I too prefer to see a woman doing it all on her own, and there aren't many videos from that perspective. So I'm looking forward to watching your channel and learning from you. Thanks!
I love how you have changed and created your home! You've made yourself and your furbabies a lovely home! Women do need to know others have done this and they can too! Your furbabies are all so handsome and obviously healthy! Thanks so much for sharing! 💜 P.S. Love your stove!
Ahhh I’m so happy I found you 🥲 I am planning on living full time in a trailer as well & it is so refreshing and reassuring to see another solo female doing this 🥲 sometimes I really do feel so alone in this & like I have no idea what I’m doing or getting myself into so THANK YOU for posting!!!🫶🏼 your home is absolutely beautiful!
YESSS!! So glad you found me!!! I totally feel everything you’re saying- If you have any questions at all, just let me know!! So excited for your upcoming full time travels! ❤️❤️❤️
Not sure if you've used your wood stove already or not. But it's very important (according to girl in the woods and hubby) to use it for the first time outside your RV or home. The paint or coating on all of them is toxic, smells bad and once you use it for the first time, that burns off and you shouldn't have any problem after that. This includes the chimney as well.
👋 friendly reminder here.. make sure to burn your wood stove outside for the very first time to burn off the chemicals/ fumes from the paint... after that you're good to go 😊 Love your tiny home, safe travels!
Thank you so much! Thankfully I did this a night or two before she was installed, so she’s all set! I’ve named her Dorothy because I have a habit of naming inanimate objects
Such a pretty camper, I just had the same experience as you, when I start looking at rvs, I kept getting couples and men had to really search to find you. I’m a new subscriber and I’m so happy you’re here. I plan on going solo full time in a fifth wheel and wanted to gain knowledge of what to expect from a solo female fifth wheeler.❤
New follower! Heading into van/ caravan life in oz. Currently sans fur company after losing my beloved cat Biki-boo 2 weeks into lockdown when she was 21yo..... still a massive hole in my heart but hopefully one day will have an adventure doggo, cat or other. Lovely RV and adorbs fuzz balls😁, look forward to your new content
Oh I’m so sorry for your loss! But holy cow 21! What an amazing life you gave her. Thank you for following along and good luck on your upcoming travels! It’s a lot of work but so worth it!!
Great video! I have been researching this lifestyle for years and got my RV in June 2021. Been doing some work on it and taking small trips....was hoping to already be retired but not yet. It's nice to see women getting out there on their own and not waiting for someone to do it for them. The only person you count on explicitly is yourself. Good luck with your channel! Cute cats!
Loved watching your home tour & the introduction to your companions. You presented this very well, describing each area of your living space. The best thing IMO was the ambient lighting in your sleeping quarters--I suddenly imagined how lovely it must be in the evening/nights to be reading in bed, or listening to podcasts with your 3 friends. Also, that wood stove is going to be excellent!! You can boil water on top, enjoy the fire via the window plus heat or even over-heat your living space...you are in MI right? It should be amazing in the winter. Happy to follow a woman who decided to break free as you have done. Best of luck & can't wait to see more content.
Thank you so much!! And you’re so right, that ambient light is the absolute best. It really makes the space so cozy, I am obsessed. I am in Michigan! I am just about to take off for more adventures though, but I’ll be using that wood stove whenever the weather is cool :) Thank you so much for the support!
I loved your video! You've made a great floor plan even better. Did you buy it new? I can't wait to hear more from you. I'll be waiting for your next video.
Thank you so much!!! I actually bought it used! I had a deposit on a new one, but this one came along and I snatched it right up. The first owner took great care of it, so I got very lucky. Thank you so much for following along! It means a lot!
Always love to see pawparents travelling or living on the road with their pawkiddies. Such cute babies! Glad to see the RV works for your little family, but I hope it's okay to ask since I've never (and probably never will) lived an adventurous RV life like yours: did you ever have a situation where your pawkids wandered outside the RV and sorta got lost somewhere? If yes how did you find them back or maybe prevent it from happening again?
Thank you! And what a great question. Thankfully they are really good about it and while they sometimes run to the door, they never charge out. I’m looking to get a tracker for them, but I’d probably just get one for Jojo. I’ve put her in a mesh tent outside once or twice and loves it. So she seems to be willing to explore outside when my boys couldn’t care less
@@boldlysheroams Good to know your babies are obedient ones. Yeah I think putting a tracker is better as cats are different from dogs, they can climb and hide in tiny spaces and therefore the chance of them going missing is I think higher. Good luck with the journey and stay safe and healthy, all 4 of you! 💚
I found you scrolling on TH-cam. Love your organizing mindset! I’m following you from now on. I would like to travel in my SUV and create a group of mid-age ladies like me. Maybe I’ll get some inspiration from you.
Ok hope you read this, it’s important! Your wood heater needs some changes before it gets turned on. It’s a fire hazard from what I can see lol.. 1. Under and around the heater itself needs to be tiled so it doesn’t catch fire. 2. The curtains behind the heater/flue need to be removed they will catch fire. 3. The area travelling behind the flue all the way up to the ceiling needs to have a protective layer also, like a sheet of aluminium or thin steel or tile to keep the heat from setting fire to your wall. The flue is set to close to the wall.
Thank you so much! I know it doesn’t look like it but I promise the sheet metal below, behind, and on the side are all sheet metal with the proper thickness per the manufacturer requirements. The sheet metal behind and on the side have a 1 inch air gap to allow for air flow. Where my sheet metal ends, a double insulated pipe begins and that pipe only needs 2 inches of clearance to combustibles. For sure though whenever the stove is on that curtain will be nowhere near that piping! I can’t tell you how many emails I sent back and forth to the manufacturer to make sure I was correctly installing this thing, but again I very much appreciate you taking the time to make sure I have installed it right because a lot of people do not!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the encouragement...will be watching! Love how you made your place so personalized. Adorable babies btw! I have a 7 month old kitten & he & Jo Jo have simular tastes lol. I have been thinking I wouldn't be able to have this "lifestyle" because of him but you've done an amazing job & make me believe it is possible. Really appreciate getting a female perspective as well! 😊
YESSS!!! You can do so it!!! Also doing this when their a kitten is the best because they adapt so much quicker than older cats. It took 1 single car ride for Jojo to be used to it and now she sleeps on my lap or right next to me when we drive
Just beautiful... The cats I mean 🙂 you're kinda cute too .... I'm getting ready to buy a truck camper and was contemplating on how my cat might adjust. Your video kinda game me some confidence that thing will work out OK !!
Love it ! My shoes can get dirty wet and don’t want to smell up clothes. I am so happy for your home on wheels with felines. And bidet oh and cat ⛲️. Look forward to-your Vlog. .
I love the instant pot, you can cook so much in it. How is the humidity/condensation? Love your cats and your home. Also, everyone talks about the size of their water tanks, but around how long can you go before refilling and emptying? Are there special maps for camping? I have only been camping one time, in the spring with snow on the ground, I didn't like that. I love that stove. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you!!! These are all great questions So far the humidity/condensation has been good!! The only time I’ve used the instant pot, I put the release valve right under my stove fan and have that push the air out. It’s also a bit contradictory but the best strategy for condensation, even in the cold is ventilation! So running your exhaust fan or cracking a window. With those things I have yet to see any build up of condensation. I was able to go three weeks before I needed to refill and empty my tanks! Granted, I was at a family members so I took showers inside but I did everything else as normal. What kind of special maps are you looking for? Do you mean for where you can camp? Or where you can refill/dump?
My apologies for not coming back to this comment until now!!! My favorite app has to be Campendium. It’s got all that you need in the app: where you can fill your water, where you can dump, and places you can stay! You can filter all those options by whether you want to pay anything or not. Sometimes it won’t say, but there will usually be a person who comments on the post and lets you know!
Kudos for you gal. Living in an rv by yourself w 3 furbabies. And eth u do, will take into consideration for the wellbeing of your furbabies too. May God ease eth for u and your. furbabies
Ellen 1) where did you get your popcorn kettle and what material is the lid made of? My mother had a huge soup kettle like it. 2) the link to the cat water fountain diverts to the cat tree. I'm interested in the fountain. 3) your cats are the cutest. Do they get carsick? How about an episode on traveling with cats, how to keep them safe from escape, getting them enough indoor exercise, finding a vet on the road, etc. Thx!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I fixed it, but here is that link to the water fountain :) amzn.to/3vRh80a The popcorn kettle is a cast iron kettle - but it's a family heirloom! My great-grandma had 3 and my mom has one, my cousin has one, and I have the third, so I'm a lucky duck that I have this one! Ah! thank you for such the sweet compliments about the cats! Jojo actually does get a little car sick if she has a full breakfast, so I've been giving her just the kibble portion of her breakfast and she does great. I'll definitely make an episode about my cats - thank you for the suggestion!
@@boldlysheroams Ah the kettle. I thought they might be heirlooms. I don't know what happened to ours. Looking forward to your stories on the kitties, etc. Thank you!
Great looking home, and good luck on your adventures! I want to caution you that the real danger that exists with the woodstove is that in a small closed up space like an RV it will burn up all the oxygen creating a lethal situation. There are plenty of CO and propane monitors available, but trying to find a suitable low oxygen monitor is a bit more complicated which makes low oxygen the more dangerous condition. Do your research and find a satisfactory way to introduce adequate combustion air into the camper.
Thank you so much for this info! You can’t see it in this video, but I do have a direct air intake so oxygen from outside the camper is feeding the fire thus not stealing all my precious oxygen! But it is always best to be careful so I’ll surely look up that product!
@@boldlysheroams If you've got outside air coming in you should be good to go, I think that there is a formula floating around out there that would tell you if you have enough air coming in. Low oxygen conditions don't seem to be a concern until people start modifying their rigs, or doing custom builds.
Great rig! Also, please listen to the people. Yes you have a flue for the woodstove BUT a carbon 5:02 monoxide detector is essential in case the stove leaks for some reason- ya can’t see carbon monoxide and it can kill you while you sleep l. Better to be safe…..
@@boldlysheroams :). Happy to know that!!! And thank you for your channel- You have made yourself and your sweet kitties a lovely home. Thank you for sharing your adventures and especially the struggles/challenges/things that aren’t picture-perfect- we are grateful for the real life inspiration you provide.
I couldn’t imagine being in an RV with three cats. You really must like cats. It’s the cat box that give me problems. My son‘s got two cats, but they go outside. Love the woodstove. Looks like it is installed securely. Cute home young lady. My husband died five years ago., since then all five of our dogs and our two cats. That’s when I decided no more cats. But I just bought a 1989 Toyota dolphin. I’m nervous and I’ve must change some things that I can deal with it. I’m older and I wear a leg brace. I do have a dog a little Morkie named Bella. It turns out Ware. It’s too hard for me. I can always sell it. But I’m looking forward to doing the interior because I’m an artist fabric artist, and it’s gonna be a bark cloth heaven. I’ve been collecting bark cloth and new old stock bark cloth era fabrics for over a decade. Maybe I’m looking forward to decorating it more than going out in it. But that’s just nerves.
Oh man the inside of your RV is going to be so cool! Are you going to do anything special for your puppies in there? Clearly I’m a crazy cat lady and did a few things just for my cats in mine 🙂 Normal clay cat litter is AWFUL. I use wood pellets and I will never, ever go back. I don’t have that typical cat litter stink that owners who use clay litter have. Mine just smells like wood and sawdust!
From an older woman w/3 cats...to a younger woman w/3 cats - could you be any more darling, down-to-earth, and humorous?? You could not! A wonderful tour - with ideas even for a person with about ten-percent of what you have.:) And..a bidet?! Can't wait to share...
You are too sweet!!! Thank you so much! Sending love to you and your kitties!
OMG. I wanna say the same thing..
She is a little bundle of cutie pie. I've been pondering my future, learning recently after 30 years with someone, how to kinda start on my own again.

Loved your comment! You sound like an amazing person!❤
Please forgive me as I wasn’t looking at comments with new responses until just now!!!! I am SO GLAD this tour has shown you that you can handle this kind of space with you and your kitties! I hope you’re still feeling inspired about this lifestyle because you can truly do this. Yes, it’s a lot to learn BUT it’s a lot less intimidating that I thought it was going to be. You just have to START! Since this video has gone up, I’ve been posting videos on leveling, disconnecting, and more about how I do it alone. I hope those have been helping!
As for pulling/driving, I’m VERY lucky to have come from a family of semi-truck drivers, so I got some amazing lessons from them on how to handle this. The most helpful thing I find is making sure to have towing mirrors: the kind that have 2 mirrors on each side: one that points up to show you people in the lane next to you, and one that points down to show where your trailer is in your line. I often times get nervous and feel like I’m SO wide and not sure if I’m in my lane. With a quick flick of my eyes to each mirror I’m easily reassured that yes I am in my lane - or I see that I’m not and adjust myself.
Beautiful and functional and pet-friendly! THANK YOU so much for going over the bathroom section thoroughly. So many camper vids overlook this aspect and it's a major concern and point of interest for those of us contemplating this lifestyle. I love how you love your kitties!
Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad I could be extra helpful :) it makes me so happy to hear!
And omg I’m obsessed with them but don’t tell them that!
@@boldlysheroams I behave in a similar manner w/my kitties. Always kissing and loving on them.
Subscribed! I love the set up but honestly I'm here for the cats ❤
Omg that is the best reason to be here. Thank you for following along!!!
You’ve made your trailer into a home. So pretty. I have 6 cats (and 4 dogs). We spent 3 years living full time in an RV but live in a home now. However, we are leaving tomorrow for a few months in the RV again. I love seeing others traveling with their pets and making it work. You have beautiful fur babies.
Thank you so much!!! How fun that you’re getting back out there! Are all your fur babies coming with?
Would like to know how it was with your pac as I also have 4 dogs and 6 cats. Lost my 18 year old cat in Dec. dose are small with the exception of my 95 lb. German Shepard. Would love to hear about your experience.
@@boldlysheroams yes, they always all come with us.
@@dawnmarkey2194 my largest dog is 86 lbs, though he was almost 100 lbs when we left. The big dog is fine with the cats but the smaller dogs don’t care for them. My dogs weren’t raised with cats. So we tow a cargo trailer that we converted for the cats behind my SUV and my husband tows a fifth wheel for us and the dogs. The big dog and the cats travel in my car and the three smaller dogs travel in the truck.
You are a natural at TH-cam! Great job! I love cats and travel:)
You are too sweet!! Thank you ❤️❤️
Well done Ellen. I wish you well with your channel and I am so happy to see you showing the girls that caravanning is not an exclusive men's club. I always taught my daughters that they can do anything if they set their mind to it, and from experience girls can often do it better because they do not charge in like a bull in a china shop. And for the record, I have employed girls to do what were supposed to be blokes jobs in the past and never been disappointed.
Thank you so much! Your daughters are lucky to have someone so supportive :)
You’ve created something so cozy ! Thank you for sharing! I alway love seeing how others do their own version of tiny living
Thank you so much!!! I have to agree, I am OBSESSED with seeing other people’s tiny houses!
ELLEN! I love this so much and I am so excited to see all of your travels!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
What a beautiful home. Love it! And the cats are so sweet.🐱
Thank you so much!!! It means a lot :)
It's amazing. Your cat's are beautiful 💕😽💕😽💕😽
Ahhhh! Thank you! Best compliment I could’ve received right here hehehe
Ahhhh! Thank you! Best compliment I could’ve received right here hehehe
I'm SO GLAD I found your channel. I'll be getting my trailer and traveling full time with my three cats. My target is March. Your trailer is great and I'm very envious of that little wood stove. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing your home!
Thank you so much!!!! I’m so excited for your upcoming travels with your kitties! You’re going to have THE BEST time!
Love this. I am 54, single, and live in a fifth wheel. Love your idea of helping other women do what you are doing.
Thank you so much! This is me high-fiving you across the internet!
Keep up the great work! 👍✊🏼
Thank you for the bidet tip! Holy moley! What a game changer!
Thank you, Wendi. I can see that I will have to watch this video again - for inspiration!
So warmly,
Asaera
This showed up on my feed and I assumed it was another "van life" channel I'm subscribed to. While watching it I'm thinking I hope she has her own channel - get to the end and see it's your own video!!
Weeee!!! Thank you so much!!!
What a lovely little space!!! And I’m obsessed with Matthew’s arch nature. And Bear awwwww! And Jojo awwww!
Thank you so much for watching!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You have a lovely home... nice and cozy. Lovely cats too!!
Thank you so much!!!
Best wishes from a cat lover in France. I really love your home on wheels. I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Take good care of yourself. Hugs to your lovely furbabies. 👏👍🙏🐱🐱🐱
Oh my gosh-France!! So cool!! Thank you so much for subscribing! Much love to your furbabies too!! ❤️❤️❤️
Just found you and subscribed. Awesome home. I have a cat, and I am planning to go full-time. I might reach out for cat advice. Looking forward to more videos. Cheers.
Thank you!!! I’m so excited for you and your Kitty! Yes, please reach out any time! I’m happy to help in any way I can. Thank you for following along - it really means a lot!
You have a charming way of explaining things!
Thank you so much!!!
I love my private environment.....and my sweet kitties all ok within. When weather warms up in spring.....they will enjoy my screened porch area. Thks for your news of You!!! Joyfully carry on!!! Ahna
Thank you so much!! Sending love to you and your kitties!
Nice video. Never seen such a beautiful trailer! I am a young woman with two cats living in a tiny house on wheels, although I have it stationary. Your last comment is exactly the realization I reached that spurred me to make the change... you do not need to wait for a partnert. You can do it on your own. Enjoy your home and your cats!
YAYY! You can do this!!! Thank you for watching! Love to you and your furbabies! ❤️❤️
Glad I came across your video. I just bought a vintage camper and plan to do renovations in the spring/summer. I loved the tour. I also appreciate hearing from another woman.
YAYYY!!! So excited for your upcoming renovations! Thank you so much for watching!
For those who aren't ready to install a bidet in their RV or van, there is a product out now called toilet paper spray that accomplishes much of what a bidet can do for you (only it leaves a "fresh scent" and I don't like to be reminded of what just transpired). Any spray bottle that mists and is filled with water would work. Just spray the toilet paper and use.
The place you parked is beautiful. When I think RV park my mind sees RV's packed in like sardines and occupied by either retired couples or characters from Trailer Park Boys. If you have found the secret of finding peaceful (and hopefully affordable) RV spots that is something that would make a nice episode for your channel. I only have 1 cat and plan on van life to escape civilization, but "the secret" to a peaceful parking spot close to civilization could be useful.
Both of these are such great ideas! I’ll definitely make a video on finding peaceful spots. Thank you for watching! It means a lot :)
Congratulations Ellen, you made a cozy home and your pets are lovely!
Thanks for sharing!
Many blessings in your new endeavors…😊🎉
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!!!
I clicked on your video because I love watching tiny home living AND your name is ELLEN! Then, while watching, you said your mom’s name is Barb! Well my mom’s name is Barb as well! And I love cats! Lots in common! I can’t wait to see more of your content!
SHUT UP!! Another Ellen in the wild with a mom named Barb?! SO COOL!! Thank you so much for following along, my twin!!
@@boldlysheroams LOL
Hi Ellen, I really enjoyed meeting you and your beautiful cats. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs who my husband and I travel with. I look forward to following your travels online. Best wishes from Australia. Trish.
Oh my gosh- Australia!!! Thank you for watching from so far away! Sending to your whole family!
I can see you don't have many videos up yet, but this one is so professionally put together and edited for a first intro to your channel! I love the vibe you give off, and your RV looks gorgeous (the kitties won me over too). I can't wait for more updates from you!
AHH! Such a high compliment thank you!! I will admit that I was in A/V for 3 years of high school and pursued film editing in college before switching to a different major soooo I freaking love this kind of stuff. Thank you so much for the high praise!!
Use the wood stove before cold weather, it has to off gas and burn off the chemicals first.
Thank you so much! Thankfully I did 2 outdoor burns before I installed it so it’s all primed and ready to go (especially bc I have the backordered part now!!!)
@@boldlysheroams I live full time in Alaska in my RV, so my Cubic Mini has been a blessing, a nice toasty warm blessing. When it's 10 degrees outside, its about 60 inside. I don't even mind cutting wood.
Thanks for sharing your solo r v life. 🙏
Omg mojo jojo is so cute! What a great name
I love your rig, that wood burning stove is so fabulous! I love it! It’s my dream to have a real one too
Thank you!!! It’s really, really cool! A lot of work to install but boy is it a great thing to have
I am impressed! So cosy and still so practical! You will love the stove once it is working! Great choice! 👏👏👌
Thank you so much!!!!
Lovely video, you 15yr old cat looks like a youngster!! I would love a bidet, they are not really a thing here in the Uk, only very posh houses mostly have them and for many homes there just isn't the space for one but yours is a really good option rather than have a separate bidet bowl.
Thank you so much!!! His health is still really good, thankfully!
And you need to make them a thing!! There’s gotta be some cheap options like mine to throw on your water line. In the US we also have ones that you can put under the toilet seat- they’ve gotta have those there too. Those ones are better than what I have now
What a great, in depth tour of your home and all of your personal and clever modifications. Thank you for showing us around.
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Mr.Bear is precious 🥰
Omg thank you so much. He is the best and I will tell him he has a fan :)
I’m learning that the key to living on the road is multiple ways to melt butter. Also, shout out to Barb!!
Wanna know what makes it even better? I have a HUGE stash of Amish butter :)
Your babies are beautiful and how exciting for you to travel and live the way you want! Old me is jealous of young you. Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you so much!!! We’ll take you along with us on all our adventures!!
@@boldlysheroams you’re welcome! Yea!
Just found this channel. As you mentioned at the end, I am at the researching part of my journey and appreciate this content. ❤
Woohoo! Thanks so much for watching! Glad you found me :)
I’m a fan of watching rv videos & this video was a suggestion. as soon as you showed the inside before explaining I was like oooh! Looks like a home. Like it!
Thank you SO MUCH! That makes me so happy omg ❤️
@@boldlysheroams you’re welcome 😊
@Boldly She Roams, I’m so excited to find your channel. I am a single female (older than you) and I travel in my truck and 20ft travel trailer (EPro 19BH). My travel companions are my 2 dogs and 2 cats. I have a home base, as I have a full time job that requires I show my face in the office 3days a week (Bummer!!). This means my travel is periodic, vacation time travel, but I really seek to cover as much territory as possible. I love your mods, and I especially relate to your love of popcorn (I’ve grown my own in my small backyard garden for years!). I an also say that replacing my RV toilet with my homemade diversion toilet has been one of my most favorite mods (I’m sticking with tp, though, as a bidet still uses precious water). This is your first video and the first I’ve watched, so it is likely I’ll binge through those you’ve posted since. I’m looking forward to sharing your adventure vicariously.😁😁
I am so honored that you binged all those videos and I’m so glad you found me!! You seem to have found a great way to explore even with an in-person job and that is so inspiring! What are some of the favorite places you’ve been?
Also- YOU GROW YOUR OWN POPCORN???? I am telling my whole family this IMMEDIATELY!!!!
i love this so much!!! your home is beautiful 💜💜
Thank you!!!!
what an inspirational video looking forward to more...
Thank you so much!!
This video showed up in my feed, and I got hooked! Thanks for sharing your home - you have an engaging personality, and I look forward to seeing the rest of your vids - keep 'em coming, cheers, Francisca aka auntifranny
Thank you so much, Francisca!!
Love what you have done with your RV so cozy!
I hope you will make a video showing us how you hitch her up to your truck & set up when you get to camp .
Thank you so much!!! I’m definitely planning to make that video soon so stay tuned!!
I thank God for finding you!!!
Yay!! Glad you found me!
I freaking love the cats!
Also beautiful home
Thank you so much!!! You listed those compliments in the correct order and I approve hahaha
Thank you for the tour!
Thanks for joining!!!
Love, love, love this video!! You’re so down to earth. I travel with two older cats. They never leave the RV, but I have Apple air tags on them if they do get out. I have a much bigger RV than you. I noticed you have a little tent that your youngest goes out in. I’m afraid to bring mine outside at all. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to more videos! ❤
High five to a fellow RV’er with cats!!! I need to get some AirTags like you. But yes the only time they go outside is if they go directly into that tent! Jojo is obsessed with it
Thank you so much for subscribing!!
You are so cute! Love your tour, cats, and you!! I live in a 5th Wheel by a lake in a RV Park. Do not travel yet. I also bought a Casita 17 foot trailer for my Special Need Son & I to go to the beach.
Ahhh! You are too sweet! The casita sounds so fun! Do you stay overnight at the beach?
@Ellen Elizabeth I have been to the beach in my Class C that I traded in for 5th Wheel. Looking forward to Beach days in Oceanside, CA in Casita in Spring.❤️
Love your video. If I had a daughter I would be proud if she was like you. You are very independent and funny. Will keep following,
Thank you so much!!! You are too sweet!!
Hey, you were recommended, saw cats & was like.. oh yeah! New sub from the UK x
Omg thank you!! Glad you’re enjoying my videos from across the pond :)
@@boldlysheroams I have to catch up but I will make time in between work to catch up :)
I like seeing content from solo females also. I have a 24 foot class c that I upgraded to from a 14 foot AR One travel trailer. I like the extra room a lot and it isn't much longer than most bigger vans. I got tired of hitching and unhitching too. So nice to have found your channel. I would love to convert or add solar to my rig so I don't have to use the generator when boon docking.
Yay fellow solo female!!! Thank you so much for watching! I completely understand and can see the hitching/unhitching process getting tiresome. I think what’s making it still bearable for me is that I have no slides so as soon as I’m unhitched, I’m ready to rock’n’roll! Crossing my fingers for your future solar setup!
Great video. Love your perspective. 😊
Thank you so much for watching!!
This is the most fabulous RV I've seen.
OH MY GOODNESS THANK YOU!!!
@@boldlysheroams You are most welcome!
Love your tag name enjoy your video and you have a lovely home. Thank you for sharing.
Ahhhh!! Thank you so much
I look forward to more videos! I am 64 and only travel in my mind so love the video. :)
Ahh! You are too sweet! I will make sure to show you the best places! Thanks for watching ❤️
Very nice & cute cats!
Thank you!!
Love your cats (and your RV). You're a great cat parent! I have one cat n now but have had three plus fosters.
Oh my goodness thank you so much!! Much love to you and your furbaby ❤️❤️
Love your choices
Ok, I've seen enough to subscribe. I absolutely love your trailer and the way you've set it up! I also love that you're a single female who wants to teach other single females how to manage a 21' travel trailer. Although I'm quite a bit older than you are, I would really like to learn how to do these things. And I too prefer to see a woman doing it all on her own, and there aren't many videos from that perspective. So I'm looking forward to watching your channel and learning from you. Thanks!
Yay!! Thank you so much for following along!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love how you have changed and created your home! You've made yourself and your furbabies a lovely home! Women do need to know others have done this and they can too! Your furbabies are all so handsome and obviously healthy! Thanks so much for sharing! 💜
P.S. Love your stove!
Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
It's so nice to hear that I'm not the only person who doesn't use microwaves. I use mine to melt butter, too! If I full time, no microwave for me!
Yesss!!! High five to you, my friend!
Ahhh I’m so happy I found you 🥲 I am planning on living full time in a trailer as well & it is so refreshing and reassuring to see another solo female doing this 🥲 sometimes I really do feel so alone in this & like I have no idea what I’m doing or getting myself into so THANK YOU for posting!!!🫶🏼 your home is absolutely beautiful!
YESSS!! So glad you found me!!! I totally feel everything you’re saying- If you have any questions at all, just let me know!! So excited for your upcoming full time travels! ❤️❤️❤️
@@boldlysheroams thanks so much 🥹 do you have an Instagram? I couldn’t find you
I literally JUST started one!! I don’t have anything posted yet, but I’m going to soon!!! I’m @boldlysheroams ❤️ my profile pic is the same there!
Not sure if you've used your wood stove already or not. But it's very important (according to girl in the woods and hubby) to use it for the first time outside your RV or home. The paint or coating on all of them is toxic, smells bad and once you use it for the first time, that burns off and you shouldn't have any problem after that. This includes the chimney as well.
Thank you so much!! Thankfully I did do that a few days before I installed, so it’s all set to go! Appreciate you checking with me though :)
👋 friendly reminder here.. make sure to burn your wood stove outside for the very first time to burn off the chemicals/ fumes from the paint... after that you're good to go 😊 Love your tiny home, safe travels!
Thank you so much! Thankfully I did this a night or two before she was installed, so she’s all set! I’ve named her Dorothy because I have a habit of naming inanimate objects
Such a pretty camper, I just had the same experience as you, when I start looking at rvs, I kept getting couples and men had to really search to find you.
I’m a new subscriber and I’m so happy you’re here.
I plan on going solo full time in a fifth wheel and wanted to gain knowledge of what to expect from a solo female fifth wheeler.❤
I'm so glad you found me! Keep me posted on your upcoming full-time travels!
New follower! Heading into van/ caravan life in oz. Currently sans fur company after losing my beloved cat Biki-boo 2 weeks into lockdown when she was 21yo..... still a massive hole in my heart but hopefully one day will have an adventure doggo, cat or other.
Lovely RV and adorbs fuzz balls😁, look forward to your new content
Oh I’m so sorry for your loss! But holy cow 21! What an amazing life you gave her. Thank you for following along and good luck on your upcoming travels! It’s a lot of work but so worth it!!
Great video! I have been researching this lifestyle for years and got my RV in June 2021. Been doing some work on it and taking small trips....was hoping to already be retired but not yet. It's nice to see women getting out there on their own and not waiting for someone to do it for them. The only person you count on explicitly is yourself. Good luck with your channel! Cute cats!
YAYY!! You got this!!!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Someone who understands cat law and travels with them 😮 subscribed!
YASSSS!!! So glad to have you here! Thanks for watching ❤️❤️
Loved watching your home tour & the introduction to your companions. You presented this very well, describing each area of your living space. The best thing IMO was the ambient lighting in your sleeping quarters--I suddenly imagined how lovely it must be in the evening/nights to be reading in bed, or listening to podcasts with your 3 friends. Also, that wood stove is going to be excellent!! You can boil water on top, enjoy the fire via the window plus heat or even over-heat your living space...you are in MI right? It should be amazing in the winter. Happy to follow a woman who decided to break free as you have done. Best of luck & can't wait to see more content.
Thank you so much!! And you’re so right, that ambient light is the absolute best. It really makes the space so cozy, I am obsessed. I am in Michigan! I am just about to take off for more adventures though, but I’ll be using that wood stove whenever the weather is cool :)
Thank you so much for the support!
Your awesome Ellen. Great job on the TH-cam.
Thank you!!!
What a great transformation of an RV. It has everything you need and more. Good organization & storage. Safe travels.⚘️
Thank you so much!!!
Lovely home, lovely personality! Really enjoyed your tour.. stayed til the very end!
Thank you!!! You are too kind :)
Great channel and inspiring
Thank you!!!!
I toooo only use.a.microwave to cook butter.ah relatable moment 🫣
I loved your video! You've made a great floor plan even better. Did you buy it new? I can't wait to hear more from you. I'll be waiting for your next video.
Thank you so much!!! I actually bought it used! I had a deposit on a new one, but this one came along and I snatched it right up. The first owner took great care of it, so I got very lucky. Thank you so much for following along! It means a lot!
Always love to see pawparents travelling or living on the road with their pawkiddies. Such cute babies! Glad to see the RV works for your little family, but I hope it's okay to ask since I've never (and probably never will) lived an adventurous RV life like yours: did you ever have a situation where your pawkids wandered outside the RV and sorta got lost somewhere? If yes how did you find them back or maybe prevent it from happening again?
Thank you! And what a great question. Thankfully they are really good about it and while they sometimes run to the door, they never charge out. I’m looking to get a tracker for them, but I’d probably just get one for Jojo. I’ve put her in a mesh tent outside once or twice and loves it. So she seems to be willing to explore outside when my boys couldn’t care less
@@boldlysheroams Good to know your babies are obedient ones. Yeah I think putting a tracker is better as cats are different from dogs, they can climb and hide in tiny spaces and therefore the chance of them going missing is I think higher. Good luck with the journey and stay safe and healthy, all 4 of you! 💚
I found you scrolling on TH-cam. Love your organizing mindset! I’m following you from now on. I would like to travel in my SUV and create a group of mid-age ladies like me. Maybe I’ll get some inspiration from you.
Thank you!!! That would be so fun. I’m trying to find a group of women myself, so keep me in the loop!
Ok hope you read this, it’s important! Your wood heater needs some changes before it gets turned on. It’s a fire hazard from what I can see lol..
1. Under and around the heater itself needs to be tiled so it doesn’t catch fire.
2. The curtains behind the heater/flue need to be removed they will catch fire.
3. The area travelling behind the flue all the way up to the ceiling needs to have a protective layer also, like a sheet of aluminium or thin steel or tile to keep the heat from setting fire to your wall. The flue is set to close to the wall.
Thank you so much! I know it doesn’t look like it but I promise the sheet metal below, behind, and on the side are all sheet metal with the proper thickness per the manufacturer requirements. The sheet metal behind and on the side have a 1 inch air gap to allow for air flow. Where my sheet metal ends, a double insulated pipe begins and that pipe only needs 2 inches of clearance to combustibles.
For sure though whenever the stove is on that curtain will be nowhere near that piping!
I can’t tell you how many emails I sent back and forth to the manufacturer to make sure I was correctly installing this thing, but again I very much appreciate you taking the time to make sure I have installed it right because a lot of people do not!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@boldlysheroams no worries at all. Don't forget about the curtains lol
Enjoy your travels :-)
Aren't you just the cutest! New subscriber!
AHHH you’re making me blush! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for the encouragement...will be watching! Love how you made your place so personalized. Adorable babies btw! I have a 7 month old kitten & he & Jo Jo have simular tastes lol. I have been thinking I wouldn't be able to have this "lifestyle" because of him but you've done an amazing job & make me believe it is possible. Really appreciate getting a female perspective as well! 😊
YESSS!!! You can do so it!!! Also doing this when their a kitten is the best because they adapt so much quicker than older cats. It took 1 single car ride for Jojo to be used to it and now she sleeps on my lap or right next to me when we drive
Just beautiful... The cats I mean 🙂 you're kinda cute too .... I'm getting ready to buy a truck camper and was contemplating on how my cat might adjust. Your video kinda game me some confidence that thing will work out OK !!
You’re too sweet! Your cat is going to do great!!! You both got this! :)
Love it ! My shoes can get dirty wet and don’t want to smell up clothes. I am so happy for your home on wheels with felines. And bidet oh and cat ⛲️. Look forward to-your Vlog. .
💜
Very informative video
Thank you!!
LOVE IT@!!
Thank you!!! And thank you for watching!!
I love the instant pot, you can cook so much in it. How is the humidity/condensation? Love your cats and your home. Also, everyone talks about the size of their water tanks, but around how long can you go before refilling and emptying? Are there special maps for camping? I have only been camping one time, in the spring with snow on the ground, I didn't like that. I love that stove. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you!!! These are all great questions
So far the humidity/condensation has been good!! The only time I’ve used the instant pot, I put the release valve right under my stove fan and have that push the air out. It’s also a bit contradictory but the best strategy for condensation, even in the cold is ventilation! So running your exhaust fan or cracking a window. With those things I have yet to see any build up of condensation.
I was able to go three weeks before I needed to refill and empty my tanks! Granted, I was at a family members so I took showers inside but I did everything else as normal.
What kind of special maps are you looking for? Do you mean for where you can camp? Or where you can refill/dump?
@@boldlysheroams cool. Maps I was thinking both, where to stay, and the fill up and emptying. Also is it free/ or fee? Thanks
My apologies for not coming back to this comment until now!!! My favorite app has to be Campendium. It’s got all that you need in the app: where you can fill your water, where you can dump, and places you can stay! You can filter all those options by whether you want to pay anything or not. Sometimes it won’t say, but there will usually be a person who comments on the post and lets you know!
Nice. You got this Cant wait to follow u on your travels.
Thank you so much!!
Mojojojo 😂 …lovely space Ellen 😊
Thank you, Francis!!! Look at us just living out of the ordinary, but amazing, lives!
AND U have a bidet! That is a very smart move
Thank you!!!
❤ New Sub....love your content 😊 you go girl!
Thank you so much for watching!!!
I use wood pellets too
YES! So happy when I hear someone else using wood pellets
Kudos for you gal. Living in an rv by yourself w 3 furbabies. And eth u do, will take into consideration for the wellbeing of your furbabies too. May God ease eth for u and your. furbabies
Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Very nice!!!
Thank you!!
Ellen 1) where did you get your popcorn kettle and what material is the lid made of? My mother had a huge soup kettle like it. 2) the link to the cat water fountain diverts to the cat tree. I'm interested in the fountain. 3) your cats are the cutest. Do they get carsick? How about an episode on traveling with cats, how to keep them safe from escape, getting them enough indoor exercise, finding a vet on the road, etc. Thx!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I fixed it, but here is that link to the water fountain :) amzn.to/3vRh80a
The popcorn kettle is a cast iron kettle - but it's a family heirloom! My great-grandma had 3 and my mom has one, my cousin has one, and I have the third, so I'm a lucky duck that I have this one!
Ah! thank you for such the sweet compliments about the cats! Jojo actually does get a little car sick if she has a full breakfast, so I've been giving her just the kibble portion of her breakfast and she does great. I'll definitely make an episode about my cats - thank you for the suggestion!
@@boldlysheroams Ah the kettle. I thought they might be heirlooms. I don't know what happened to ours. Looking forward to your stories on the kitties, etc. Thank you!
Great looking home, and good luck on your adventures! I want to caution you that the real danger that exists with the woodstove is that in a small closed up space like an RV it will burn up all the oxygen creating a lethal situation. There are plenty of CO and propane monitors available, but trying to find a suitable low oxygen monitor is a bit more complicated which makes low oxygen the more dangerous condition. Do your research and find a satisfactory way to introduce adequate combustion air into the camper.
Thank you so much for this info! You can’t see it in this video, but I do have a direct air intake so oxygen from outside the camper is feeding the fire thus not stealing all my precious oxygen! But it is always best to be careful so I’ll surely look up that product!
@@boldlysheroams If you've got outside air coming in you should be good to go, I think that there is a formula floating around out there that would tell you if you have enough air coming in. Low oxygen conditions don't seem to be a concern until people start modifying their rigs, or doing custom builds.
Great rig! Also, please listen to the people.
Yes you have a flue for the woodstove BUT a carbon 5:02 monoxide detector is essential in case the stove leaks for some reason- ya can’t see carbon monoxide and it can kill you while you sleep l. Better to be safe…..
Thank you so much! Thankfully I do have a carbon monoxide detector, but this is a great reminder to double check the batteries on it
@@boldlysheroams :). Happy to know that!!! And thank you for your channel- You have made yourself and your sweet kitties a lovely home. Thank you for sharing your adventures and especially the struggles/challenges/things that aren’t picture-perfect- we are grateful for the real life inspiration you provide.
I am so belated in responding to this but you are so sweet!!!
Aaaaand I subscribed.
Thank you!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I couldn’t imagine being in an RV with three cats. You really must like cats. It’s the cat box that give me problems. My son‘s got two cats, but they go outside. Love the woodstove. Looks like it is installed securely. Cute home young lady. My husband died five years ago., since then all five of our dogs and our two cats. That’s when I decided no more cats. But I just bought a 1989 Toyota dolphin. I’m nervous and I’ve must change some things that I can deal with it. I’m older and I wear a leg brace. I do have a dog a little Morkie named Bella. It turns out Ware. It’s too hard for me. I can always sell it. But I’m looking forward to doing the interior because I’m an artist fabric artist, and it’s gonna be a bark cloth heaven. I’ve been collecting bark cloth and new old stock bark cloth era fabrics for over a decade. Maybe I’m looking forward to decorating it more than going out in it. But that’s just nerves.
Oh man the inside of your RV is going to be so cool! Are you going to do anything special for your puppies in there? Clearly I’m a crazy cat lady and did a few things just for my cats in mine 🙂
Normal clay cat litter is AWFUL. I use wood pellets and I will never, ever go back. I don’t have that typical cat litter stink that owners who use clay litter have. Mine just smells like wood and sawdust!
