Thanks for the video. I was feeling terrible, and this video fixed that. I just needed to see regular people being regular. For my sanity. I feel sane again. Thanks.
Exactly my thoughts... u get hammered with glamorous Instagram mega buck builds and so nice to see real builds done by real people being brave and adventurous ❤
I love creative builds. Look how much you can live with. Going tiny doesn’t mean you have to deprive yourself. She looks comfortable and happy! Nicely done!!
Again, I'm happy that HOWA is my charity of choice. I love to see my contributions at work. Every time I hear someone complaining about the unhoused problem, I tell them about HOWA. People doing what they can to help themselves.
The Rambling Cottage! What a great name! She is awesome to just do it even without experience. Most people would not. What an awesome woman! She's a great problem solver. I love the treasure chest of tea, hehehe. So many brilliant things in this build. I love her magnetic TV, That is so brilliant. It would work for me too when typing out a lot, answering emails, replies in my online groups etc, when I want to use an external keyboard. Good on her for figuring out how to attach and set up the back seats! I took the back seats out of my SUV and wanted to do that just for seating in my house at the moment, but it's tricky because they attach at different levels and orientations in the vehicle. She's got beautiful skin and hair. The baking soda and vinegar for the hair wash and rinse is way better than commercial products with all their toxic chemicals and carcinogenic fragrances.
This is so awesome. My name is michele and I’m retiring next year and I am building my van out right now. So so fun. God bless. Love you, Bob. You’ve taught me a lot over the years.
💚What a creative solution, you are glowing with happiness. You are truly a pioneer woman to do your own build out. Penny is a lucky dog to be traveling with you.❤️
I’m so impressed with her resourcefulness. She built a tiny home on her truck and it works great. She’s living her life and even has a fishing pole! I wish I could do the same! So awesome!
I think it's great that she's built her own home... But if I'm being honest, I don't want to be anywhere near it when it's going down the road. And I can't imagine she does not get harassed by Highway Patrol who want to see proof that it is safe to be on the road.
Likely an older seasoned lady with medical issues won’t be harassed by the po po. It’s not the image police want to have with the public. Work it sistah!
i give her props for having the willing power to make it,but,that truck is a public safety hazard,and accident waiting to happen and ruin other people's day. Structural builders know what i'm talking about. Good luck you need a lot of it.
I very much liked her traveling house. And she Made it Herself! She has such get up and go! Michele, your doggie has a very smart owner. Hope to meet you down the road.
She is a truly inspiring and interesting lady with what she has done in her life. I'm not surprised at all she accomplished something like this. Fantastic job lady!!!
That is insane, is it legal in the US? At Freeways speed the roof could come off one of these days and I feel sorry for drivers behind her when that happens, this cant not be allowed on the highways, before she hurt some body badly.
As I tell you frequently, you’re amazing! So happy Bob did this video with you!! Glad I got to see a real tour! So glad you got the recent breakdowns repaired!!
awesome home! I wonder about the weight and its impact on the truck. What did adding the home do to the gas mileage, and how does it affect the drivability of the truck, is it more likely to bottom out on rough dirt roads?
I really like the inside and looks like plenty of room. You did a great job. Freedom is everything, I envy your situation and set-up. I've been stuck for quite some time now, after a horrible accident I've not been able to get on the road. I'm so sad
It depends on the vehicle platform you start with. The specifications are in the vehicle owners manual. That pickup looks like it is well balanced and not overloaded.
She didn't allow her health to prevent her from living life on her terms! I love how she built this and worked it out to be a functional and enjoyable space.
I'm wondering if she just sticks to state roads. A lot of people were saying that she would be dangerous at highway speeds but you don't actually have to take the highway everywhere. I had a car that, near the end of its life, couldn't go above 50. So I just stayed on slower roads
Everything looked good and works for her. My only changed would have been to angle the roof in front, basically make it a hip roof for better gas milage. Also I think I would put solar panels on the roof. Other than what I've mentioned, I think she has an adequate travel home and works for her.
In an effort to use less single use items and create less trash, I just use wash cloths, a bit of soap and a basin of water. You can hang the cloths to dry and reuse. A package of them is very inexpensive. Very clever rig!
I'm impressed that she did this build out by herself. She thought of everything and she seems happy which is the most important thing. Kudos to her!
I wonder what it weighs?
When you mention a dog, I always want to see the dog. You almost never show the dog. (whining)
Me too, very impressive 👍☺️
That truck is working itself to death pulling all that weight around and bucking all that wind up front
Safety is the most important thing. 🎉

I'm surprised that they let her go down the road because the DOT is very strict but hats off to her
It could be because it can be removed. Rules are different for truck caps
I'm all for DIY projects but I have to agree with you. It doesn't look road worthy. For her sake, and others, I hope I'm wrong.
So valuable for the community showing "down to earth" diy builds. Not just the glamorous Instagram builds... keeping it real❤
The weight is terrifying 😮
But kudos to her and her being happy!😊

Wow! She is an impressive woman - Skills, Creativity, courageous and determination to do what's make her happy! Bravo! ♥
So much credit to this lady for doing this build all by herself! Kudos!
This is so awesome. My name is michele and I’m retiring next year and I am building my van out right now. So so fun. God bless. Love you, Bob. You’ve taught me a lot over the years.
A requirement for all my builds is a large smile. Have fun!
You go girl! Happy trails!
I love her "Rambling Cottage "
Michelle is a delight. I wish everything good for her.
This looks so comfortable, at the same time unsafe. Safe travels 👍
INTERESTING, but... the weight and very fragile construction might be a disaster in the making? Hope it all holds up over time. All the best.
Exactly what I'm thinking watching this. I pray for the cars full of families that are near her.Please don't tell us this is all screwed together.
@@edroms1963 No it's taped and glued.
I think the HOWA checked it out.
HOWA ? I'm from the UK
Payload police should just stay in their little box. Watching other people live through another little box. While this lady is out crushing it.
Another strong , gorgeous female senior nomad "God bless America "
💚What a creative solution, you are glowing with happiness. You are truly a pioneer woman to do your own build out. Penny is a lucky dog to be traveling with you.❤️
The most unique build that I have ever seen.
Women has a lot of spunk!! Her build & outfit is practical & most importantly usable & easily repaired. Kudos to her pioneer nature!
A true modern day pioneer. ❤
Terrific! Real life solution.
Tks Bob
I love her setup.
Such joy and positivity! What a wonderfully creative and resilient woman!!!!
What a fabulous tiny home. I loved the video - best wishes in all you do. ❤️😁🌹
How nice! She travels with her Adventure Dog! 🐶
What a challenge and thanks for sharing today...from the Ozarks
Got to love the Ozarks was raised there as a kid best time of my life.
I’m so impressed with her resourcefulness. She built a tiny home on her truck and it works great. She’s living her life and even has a fishing pole! I wish I could do the same! So awesome!

Around my parts when questionable movement of vehicles need to happen we have back roads that are utilized.
Agree agree agree
Likely an older seasoned lady with medical issues won’t be harassed by the po po. It’s not the image police want to have with the public. Work it sistah!
I don't see how she can get insurance to drive down the road with that unsafe build, not to mention the fire hazard it is.
The camper is not a licensed vehicle. Police should have nothing to say about it.
love her kitchen, roller screen for making coffee, great job!
i give her props for having the willing power to make it,but,that truck is a public safety hazard,and accident waiting to happen and ruin other people's day. Structural builders know what i'm talking about. Good luck you need a lot of it.
What’s the weight on it?
Will she be cited as a safety hazard? I hope it stays on the truck. I have seen so many accidents where home made builds fell apart.
I very much liked her traveling house. And she Made it Herself! She has such get up and go! Michele, your doggie has a very smart owner. Hope to meet you down the road.
Really impressed with this creativity and bravery for building what you want, how you want it, and on a budget. Congratulations. I love it.
Your videos are always so funny and witty! Thank you for your generosity of heart and colorful, hilarious content!🔺🏏🙊
Great job Michelle! Safe travels!
There has to be a special satisfaction when you build something with your own hands. Kudos to this lady for her build.
Terrific "cottage", Thank Y'all for sharing.🙏👍🐕🦺
0:24 L brackets! Love it. She did it herself, nice. I favor the half lap joint but when in doubt, L bracket that ship.
She is a truly inspiring and interesting lady with what she has done in her life. I'm not surprised at all she accomplished something like this. Fantastic job lady!!!
Inspirational build. Thanks for your dedication Bob. May the good Lord watch over you and your family and friends. Peace and Love 😊.
That is insane, is it legal in the US? At Freeways speed the roof could come off one of these days and I feel sorry for drivers behind her when that happens, this cant not be allowed on the highways, before she hurt some body badly.
As I tell you frequently, you’re amazing! So happy Bob did this video with you!! Glad I got to see a real tour! So glad you got the recent breakdowns repaired!!
Her build out is wonderful. I saw it partially built and was so impressed with her ideas. She just makes things happen. Safe travels Michelle💕
You and Sarasota Tim are like brother and sister!
This is absolutely amazing!
This can't be legal to drive on the road. Seems like a real hazard.
I wonder how much that thing weighs. Those roof shingles are extremely heavy. Where's her tail lights
Wow what a plow into the wind on top of the cab😮
I'm a retired finish carpenter and she's done a lot of basics everyone should know. Great work on her part.
Very impressive build by this lady. She looks so happy. Well done. Keep livin the dream. ✌🏻🇺🇸
awesome home! I wonder about the weight and its impact on the truck. What did adding the home do to the gas mileage, and how does it affect the drivability of the truck, is it more likely to bottom out on rough dirt roads?
Thank you for the tour! 😁👍💛

I'd recommend moving the paper towels farther away from the Mr Buddy heater. Safety First ☝️
The Rambling Cottage, that sounds about right. 😊 She's done a fine job, good for her.👍
Always educating & inspiring! ☀️
The part that i like is that she built all of this. So, if anything has problems, she built it and can fix it without help. Do it.
It is nice . She did a good job. I like that big refrigerator cooler too. All the comforts of home! 👍☮️
This is just so amazing.. hard to imagine her doing this without expert help..so impressive..go girl..
Neat set up but you can't see the taillights. The bike on the back covers them up.
Hey Marie, thanks for the meal idea! Love the simplicity..
Are there any regulations you need to follow to make sure it is road safe? Just asking in case I would build something
It depends on the vehicle platform you start with. The specifications are in the vehicle owners manual. That pickup looks like it is well balanced and not overloaded.
Nice!
Praises to her for being able to do all that. I'm 74 and my body has given out.
She didn't allow her health to prevent her from living life on her terms! I love how she built this and worked it out to be a functional and enjoyable space.
I admire her!!
Michelle you are amazing. Stay safe, in the words of Spock.. live long and prosper.
It is a nice thing, but how is it road legal.
Very nice! She put a lot of thought into her build! ❤😊
That is so creative!!!
Did you happen to ask about her financial situation? I’m curious how much it costs per month to maintain her rig and other expenses. Great video.
I'm so impressed by what she has done and who she is!
Love Ms. Michelle's build. Tfs Bob.
I'm seeing more and more people doing this. Truck House Life seems to have started a trend. This is amazing 👏
Such great energy and what a build!! Love it!
Yes I’m give her Kudos
Just going for it.
I wished you would have asked how it goes driving down the road. It can’t be easy traveling
I'm wondering if she just sticks to state roads. A lot of people were saying that she would be dangerous at highway speeds but you don't actually have to take the highway everywhere. I had a car that, near the end of its life, couldn't go above 50. So I just stayed on slower roads
Wait til DOT pull her over
She did a great job
GREAT to see HOWA at work doing amazing things for people who need it, use it, and pay it fwd!
Everything looked good and works for her. My only changed would have been to angle the roof in front, basically make it a hip roof for better gas milage. Also I think I would put solar panels on the roof. Other than what I've mentioned, I think she has an adequate travel home and works for her.
No way that's street legal
Awesome. Absolutely awesome. Her & this home.
Your ideas are always impressive. Keep inspiring us with your creativity.🧿🥎⛱
I like "The Rambling Cottage" 😀❤️
She is phenomenal.
Has she ever gone on the highway with this?
What kind of gas mileage does she get? I would think the added weight and the wind resistance would degrade the performance
Incredible lady!
Such a clever dte person, I love her build, all the best to her and her dog 👏🏽🥰🐕.
Such a cozy place! Good luck to her.
It seems really well thought out! Impressive!
Great build. Quite an accomplishment! Would be interested in hearing about the build, driveability, weight, speed, etc. Is it resting on the roof?
Awesome guest Bob great job 👍👍
Wow what’s the weight…. Wood is heavy
Any issues getting it registered or other DMV issues?
To put it another way, it could be smart to mention the modifications to her insurer to make sure she is covered in the event of a claim.
In an effort to use less single use items and create less trash, I just use wash cloths, a bit of soap and a basin of water. You can hang the cloths to dry and reuse. A package of them is very inexpensive. Very clever rig!
Great camper. Thank you Bob
Great..........so cool and creative
I would Not drive behind her on the highway…….
Kudos on a seriously great build out.
Cool 😎
