- In this video, we meet Christine who lives full-time in a Four-Wheel camper on a Toyota pickup. You may be wondering how she can live in such a small space, but she is delighted with the amount of room and comfort it gives her and the many places in the back country it allows her to go. It may be the ideal balance of comfort and mobility.

Thanks for watching!
Would like to know how she's doing ... 3 years later in 2020. Did she persist in her new lifestyle. Is she happy still with her decision to live on the road? Thanks.
Probably one of the best RV minimalistic/life style videos that I have ever seen. This should be an inspiration to anyone who is considering down sizing their lifestyle.
Thanks for watching Davie, I hope my interviews of folks who are still working on the road DO inspire others to do the same.:)
the one piece of advice i would want to pass on to christine would be to use the 2-chair 'trick' to make your campsite look like there is more than 1 person. otherwise, i love her set up!! it's really wonderful! good luck to you, christine!
einsteinwoman good advice
May I ask why?
Thanks for the great idea!!
einsteinwoman she has two out there! Watch the vlog
+mlcm123 two chairs outside to make it look like two - not one. So, it doesn't advertise that she is a single woman for safety.. My guess.
I just signed the dotted line on a truck camper and a one ton diesel 4 x 4 last week. Well done Christine! I could have done many RV options but agree with your philosophy of being nimble and enjoying a simpler life in nature... yet still having the basic creature comforts! I'm pushing retirement so good for you for doing this earlier! Smart girl!!!
Thanks Bob for sharing inspirational folks like this with us viewers!
How’s the adventure?
I like how she has tape over her laptop camera, like I do. Smart lady!
I buy those little stickers u can use for crafts. They already have sticky stuff on back and decoration on front
I do the same with my webcam. It is easy to hack into someone's computer and use their webcam to spy on you without you knowing.
I dont ever cover mine, and I always type naked.
It would’ve been better to buy a travato 59K because by the time you buy the truck and the trailer It’s almost the same price and you have a nice bathroom and you can park anywhere. They are really nice because the bathroom is in the back and nothings obstructing the view along the inside
These are great little campers and she's fortunate indeed to have found one. They paid a lot of attention to things that are important in a small space, storage and kitchen.
I love truck campers...my dad had one when I was a child and we enjoyed it soooo much...I have such happy memories of our trips in the truck camper!
Cute camper! It's got way more kitchen storage space and storage in general than the house I rent! I love this.
I think this is a wonderful choice for a single person. When you want to travel in remote areas, a smaller rig is ideal! I love living in my van for my sense of freedom. Great Video!
A nice video. This woman is a great example of enjoying the life you have. Thanks Bob for letting us see and hear this.
Said 150 years ago there was no inside torlet or running water. im 65 years old and i remember we did not have running water, We had a hand pump outside and an outhouse out back. Our neighbor had an open well that had to pull water with a bucket on a rope.
Plumbers cleaned up the U. S.
They had indoor plumbing and running water in ancient Rome...
I gotta tell ya Bob I'm addicted to watching your videos, bc I really really want to do this, live this way, but try telling my husband he doesn't agree.. Even though we are broke after paying 1000.00 month for rent , cable is 280$ , electric bill 260$ , car insurance, car payment 380$ , credit cards ( I have 5 ) , so when two people are disabled, but not in wheelchairs , we both love camping, no joke, after paying just our bills we are not only broke we are constantly overdrawn too.. I'm tired of it , I'm not happy, I have tons of stuff that doesn't make me happy , he just doesn't like change I guess idk what it is with him. our son and his family live in Florida , we never see him maybe once every two years, we live up north , I'm sick of just sitting here day in day out, so hopefully he'll think about it at least..I told him to get on UTUBE and subscribe to your channel , I told him how much he'll love watching the tours of rigs..still waiting.. we'll see, Thanks so much Bob for giving me the choice of not being stuck in life 😎
Tina Scott if you get rid of cable, you can save over $3k a year. If you listen to Dave Ramsey, he can help you with a strategy to pay off your debt and get a plan to have enough money to get you in the road. God bless you and your husband.
Tina Scott / Get your husband to watch the TH-cam channel “Elsa Rhae!”
Get rid of cable except a low cost internet connection...throw TV away. Buy USED cars, get rid of the payments...buy used Toyotas. No more car payments and older vehicles cost less to insure. You can probably get your electric bill down too . also, look to see what you are buying with those credit cards. Are those purchases really necessary? Look for 0% cards to do balance transfers. When a 0% card expires, find another one and transfer balance until paid off. Just from what you've said here, you should be able to get your expenses down to where you are saving money down the road. It takes a commitment. Good luck.
I do the same thing but looking at getting a camper and working full-time. That savings will come in handy in 15 years when I retire
We retire in 5 mths just bought a small camper for our short box truck, it's also a lite camper. Come March 2021 we are hitting the road, selling off everything! We have no debt and decent pensions, hope to save for the future, or what comes our way! Getting solar installed another auxiliary battery/isolator.... We had planned on converting a van, but we had the truck and its 4x4. Camper same room as most vans!
What a great setup, Christine sounds like a great person, such a great personality. Hopefully at some point we'll meet on the road.
I love the way he complents EVERYONE 😘
Awesome Tour!!!I like the way she protects her privacy !!My late Dad would have loved her camper!!!🌞
I respect her for wanting to keep her identity a secret :)
Meh.
This looks very comfy cozy functional and air bags make it more stable. You can lie down, sit, stand or lounge if weather gets you stuck inside. It's darn nice! Happy trails.
Happy trails annette!
Love Christine's camper. The storage is amazing for such a small space!
+SoulSistersSurvivors Sisters yes it's a brilliant use of space.
Love this little camper!
Thank you for sharing.
Nice rig Christine and congrats on breaking free.
Great interview with a wonderful lady. Thanks for sharing :)
Bob thank you. Your filming was really great on this video. The angles and absence of the home owner in the shot for the initial view of the home was refreshing. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy seeing them, but it is nice to see the rig unrestricted too. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback Anita!
bob these videos where you interview are amazing. you really are an amazing interviewer
This is great - just what I needed. I have been blessed to find in the middle of summer - a Hawk popup for a reasonable price and I can just fit all my necessities in there - clothes, dishes, computer and a few books and got it for the same reasons this great gal did - to be nimble and go places you can't go with other setups. The fact that she is doing what I am getting ready to do is super inspiring. I too want to work out of the camper as a writer. I also have a shower tent - that being the most annoying part of the setup - as I hate to go outside at night to do those necessities, but a class C or a trailer is just not going to work for going onto the back trails! I'm going to see if I can set it up to deal with the cold and stay up North through the cold months.
Very nice truck camper! Sucks they only made 40 of them. Awesome idea to stuff the throw pillow cover with an extra blanket!
Wow, you have a beautiful home. I wish they would make those campers again. Best of luck!
A sleeping bag as pillow stuffing. Clever lady!
What a great use of space. I love the camper/truck combo! That’s exactly what I would choose. So cute how Cody manages to get a little camera time🐶🐾🐾 Her little dog was darling.
Love this video. Love her outlook. Great rig. Well thought-out system. Thanks for posting it.
I love it. Very cozy and clean.
Talking about fear at the end- smaller is safer for a solo female than an Airstream trailer. Not only do you have more mobility and can get out faster, but you have access to your cab and don't have to risk going outside if push came to shove. I just had my first solo night in my new-to-me RV, and to be honest, even though I was at a sketchy Walmart, I was too tired to be scared! lol
Love her setup.
I love these little campers that goo on back of the trucks so cute only just discoverd them.
Nice camper! Thanks for the tour!
Because of coronavirus (social distancing), this is more hospitable. I love to do this. America is great country, and this is one of examples that you can do in America. Go USA !
Good video. Remember my uncle had one of these back in the 60's. They looked huge from a child's perspective. These units have always been popular with hunters due to there accessibility to remote areas. Glad it works out for you.
Wow, love this!!! Thanks for showing me what I've always wanted lol!!!
Keep on living! Living to make others happy will never bring YOU satisfaction.
I am very impressed! I can actually picture myself doing this. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice. I'm a little jealous.
Wow that lady really had it sorted out. Thanks Bob 🙏🏻👍🏻🇦🇺
great rig. I like it. this is the smallest camper I have ever seen. I like it. I am glad that you shared this interview with me. stay safe and happy trails.
love this little camper. everything so nicely set up. small but looks roomy.
Another good video bob..keep up the good work
Thanks for watching mastertung7
Awesome interview. I need to consider doing this with my truck. I have a small TT, but like the mobility of this setup.
Thanks Christine, stay safe... thanks Bob
Thanks for watching Sarah
CheapRVliving Been watching several videos. So interesting. I haven't heard anything about how water supply is stored. And do they have AC? Has to get hot in there
She is a smart lady. Great rig. Thanks for sharing.
Another happy camper ! Had to say it :)
Great video. She is VERY WELL organized and clean.....nice :)
I carry an airhorn everytime I have my dogs outside. I don't have a fenced in yard and sometimes stray dogs will enter. If I take the dogs for a walk I always have it with me.
This lady is AWESOME! I want the same set up!
That is a special rig I love it👍👍. Thank you for sharing this awesome video!
Very nice setup!
Thanks for the tour and stay safe.
Very cool and rare non-popup FWC model! We also came from a 25-ft Airstream to a FWC :) We also decided to go without a toilet and shower. It has not been a problem at all and there are 5 of us :) I agree that the less coworkers know about your living arrangement the better. Sounds like you've done your research :)
Mali Mish love it. You're very lucky. N.Z

I love your rig, so comfy and warm and organized and clean. Just the right size of me and my Chi. I have been thinking about camper vans because of more than one way out and in also more windows. Now, you have shown me another way. I love what you have done here.
I LOVED this video! Great job!
Congrats! Great deal and nice and clean! Love your truck too. Great interview. Safe travels.
I love this! She has thought of EVERYTHING! That's the first time I've seen the outdoor shower enclosure/toilet set-up...nice! I guess that in the winter season one would have to make other bathing arrangements. Otherwise, this looks ideal! Thanks, Bob. Love your videos!
Bob thank you for interviewing solo gal. Im very much in limbo on camper but this video opened a positive outlook towards thiiis rig. Thanks great interview and thanks to the kind lady and tour sharing her life,
Thank you so much! Very Inspirational
I like her set up, no clutter, comfortable. Way nice.
Lance 650 has a bathroom for midsized truck as well as Capri campers retreat, which has a shower but not built in toilet.
Great video Bob..thanks so much!
Thanks for watching Nora!
Very practical set up... for solo only! NICE!
I Love your WHOLE SETUP 😍😍 ... It inspires,relaxing, it's Amazing 🙏🚃
I have always wanted to see inside one of those campers. I live full time in a RV park in a 30 foot 5th wheel right on a great spot next to a lake. I don't have an auto to move it. I read to move on with a class b RV but I am going to look into those campers. I have found the smaller the better with less stress. I thank you for letting me see your home.
This was a wonderful interview. This woman has got her act gather. And I am definitely going to look for one of these campers, I doubt if I’ll find one, but I’m certainly going to look.
Thanks for the vid.
I love this. Thanks for sharing! :)
Congratulations girl🦋 Fantastic😊
Thanks, another great tour!
Bob, when you interview people with truck campers, I wish you would ask how often they separate the camper from the truck. What's more difficult breaking camp to run to town/site see with both, or leave the camper and use the truck by itself?
Thanks for the reply. What you describe is I kinda what I thought. The idea of setting up camp for like a week and separating (then re-connecting) the camper to use the truck separately seems like too much of a hassle to me; not to mention the stability of the camper sitting on the 4? jacks, with someone moving around inside, plus wind... doesn't seem too practical.
Off topic, but is your profile pic General Longstreet?
Great set up and she has a wonderful attitude.
Great review..thanks.
Christine, I enjoyed listening to you. You are well spoken. I love your deep thinking!
Great video! Thanks!
Vicki
I really love this little camper!
Very nice. I love how neat and clean it is.
Christine this really Common with Covid now work from mobile good job
Super cute inside. Love it!!
Love this camper. Thank you Bob and Christine. Just the right size for me. Another plus is that you can move anytime. My family does not like it. I’m 71. But I have camped in a tent which I thought was more scary. I had a little towable trailer. I felt really safe but I don’t want to tow anything.
Christine is on the run
Christine, I think your doing what fits you and makes you comfortable. Your rig is ideal for what you want to do. The freedom of being creative does make you a better person. Good intro to a newbie. This Sailor is out...
Man I love this set up. Excellent choice.
I had a PU super cab with duel gas tanks and a 8 ft bed camper and no toilet with a portable fold up potty with plastic bags. Worked great for me. When I married my X wanted a 5th wheel so reluctantly traded in my PU camper for it and still to this day I wish I had kept it. I loved it so much and was so easy to go anywhere I chose without incident .
Wow! That is an amazing set-up. It makes me want to go mobile. I just bought a used Toyota Prius and would love to go camping with it but this set-up looks like a real home, at an affordable price. I wish that there wasn't so much stigma with living mobile.
Thanks for sharing your life with us. I've been following you for a while now and I appreciate the hard work you are putting in helping folks learn about this life style.
Thanks for watching Richard!
I am following you from India
How beautiful. I love her space and style. Great storage. Lovely tour.
God bless Christine.
thank you for mentioning this about the 4x4 I'm researching trucks for that exact same reason
Once again a great video by a great host!
So cozy!! My favorite!
Love the bed looks comfy
Looks so cozy.
Really enjoyed the video. I will be moving to Washington with my son, wife n grandkids this summer. I have been living in my '78 Six-Pac camper since Jan '19. It needs some repair but i love it. Although I am a lil nervous about working the propane, battery, toilet/shower n know very lil about the water system. Im looking for step by step videos for my specific needs but havent found really any. So i take notes on the closest issues i have. Seeing how comfortable,safe n confident this woman was in the video was so helpful. Thx
I love it, great set up!
Wow - well done. She's "got it down."
tons of storage. what a cozy, little palace!
love her setup!
I respect what your doing. I think what your doing is very smart and also is less expensive than apartment living or living in a house. Being around nature and being able to see different things I find helps greatly as a stress reliever.
Love her rig Bob, great interview. l am only about 12 weeks away from full time freedom. Hope to meet you at this years RTR.
