I love seeing actual rvs and travel trailer renovations. I feel like it’s more affordable and achievable for most Americans compared to the sprinter vans
Van conversions are pretty cheap as well if your good at shopping, building it yourself and don't mind living like less is more. But RV campers are designed and come with ALL the amenities already, so it makes more sense financially. Each has their own pros and cons.
We have a rv on a sprinter chassis its 26 ft navion diesel we highly recommend it. What a well built rig very comfortable we have a king size bed 2 queens as well .we lived In it 8 months now we really enjoy it.
Amazing the space they have in their RV. It has so much storage, and the layout looked very practical for everyday living. I lived on a 42' sailboat for two years, and saw people living comfortably on much smaller boats. RVs, vans, schoolies, all remind me of boat living, and how if a vessel is made with excellent use of space and has all you need... that's all you need. Space is relative. Freedom is priceless.
I lived on a 40 foot Hunter before buying my first RV and it's actually great prep for making the transition to a motorhome. Most obviously the 12 volt systems found in both but there were other things that living on a sailboat helped with also. It was a lesson in learning to live with less.
Humans...please, language. Tsk Tsk Tsk. Enjoy where you are, but DO NOT belittle others have decided to leave the matrix & enjoy life & freedom outside of cabal control.
I love that the kitchen is not the first thing you will see when you enter the space. Good luck guys! Enjoy life! I am dreaming of doing this someday. God bless!
Great motorhome! Travel washing machine = 5 gallon bucket and toilet plunger reserved for laundry use. A bucket like that has multiple if unpredictable uses. Grey water is easy to dispose of.

AWESOME!!! *** This is only the 2nd Musician set up I’ve seen on UA-cam.... This is extremely important to me, because I love creating music. I have been concerned that if I went to a nomadic life I wouldn’t have enough power to run a DAW and my guitars 🎸 to make music. I’m more into doing just studio work, not gigging. It would also be as a hobbyist, not to make money. 1) I am still working on having a passive money income to support me via dividend stocks. 2) Still deciding on what exactly I’ll live in for a vehicle.... Cargo Trailer / Tiny Home is my first choices ... because I can be mobile with them and if the vehicle breaks down or wears out .... I still have a place to stay 😊👍 Although a Bus or Box style truck conversion are not out of thought. 3) Being a Musician/ Guitarist ... having a secure vehicle with generous power, and room for running gear for hours like computers and Outboard guitar FX will be important. I won’t need to run an amp, but I might plug a pedal or outboard Effects into a DAW etc. 4) I need enough room to not only store some music gear, but also have a second form of transportation like a Motorcycle/ Scooter. 5) Having the same amenities as a small apartment, yet mobile to see and experience the countries Parks & sites. 6) I have other hobbies and interests like Mtn. Biking and Kayaking ... so I’ll need space for those as well. Thanks for Sharing 😊👋
The RV looks beautiful inside! Small ones like that often have the shower over the toilet and everything gets wet, yuck. Their bathroom looks really nice and functional with the separate shower. The kitchen is great! I haven't seen one in the back like that, but it looks like they have a good amount of storage and definitely like the larger fridge and that they have an oven. The computer area is impressive! I've never seen a curved monitor like that. It's a shame they lost the sofa, but someone else mentioned they may be able to convert the dining table / banquette into a sofa. That would be nice as you can't really lounge on the bed. Love the white paint and the peel and stick tiles. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so, so much! Yes, we are SO happy with the layout. Haven't converted the dinette into a lounge area yet because the dinette is pretty comfy. Still need to try it!
This is awesome! We're doing a very similar thing over here moving across Europe. I freelance making music from my laptop for a living with a pretty basic (Volkswagen T4 van-sized) recording studio - what I would give for the space for that kind of setup! haha. So cool
For the same reasons I bought mine two years ago it's a little bit older a 2005 30 foot and I have lived in a full-time ever since and I haven't paid rent for two years it's been awesome living the dream is a reality when you have an RV
I'll bet millions of people would benefit from such a set up right now. It would be nice if someone made little campgrounds just for full time RV'ers where they could hook up or get services even in the off season. Perhaps designate some spaces just for short termers and others for people who want to stay put a while.
I see that you painted much of your wood work white which looks amazing ! The beige wall color is that the original or did you paint that and stencil too ?
Thank you so much! Actually, that was the original wallpaper that we planned on covering with something else, but once we painted it white, it looked great how it was.
Maybe you told us in another video but I would love to hear the Brand and model of this rig. I saw this unit in a video a long time ago and loved the Layout. Looked all over never seen it again till today. Love all the spaces and especially the Rear kitchen
Wow, my plan for the future is a tiny house, but this RV layout is really something! Is this a modell you can still buy? What width is the RV? Looks like it might be more than the usual 2.55m (8,36 feet)!?
You can probably find this one somewhere! It's a 26' 2004 Jamboree Class C, if you want to look for it. It is such a functional layout. 10 1/2 feet wide, we believe.
She mentioned that it's hard going back to normal life but what is normal life? I think a living a life of contentment, happines and love should be normal for everyone. They are so inspirational. ❤❤❤
Kreative Freedom I just can’t help but make you feel better, so I heard the only complaint you have if “Having to go to the Laundromat” but here in San Diego, California. Unless you live in whats called a “Luxury Apartment” or House (which is just a Apartment with a Washer & Dryer) You have to go to the Laundromat. On average $2,500 for a “Luxury Apartment” & House here in San Diego. So it doesn’t matter if you live in a Renovated RV or a “Normal Apartment” in California. You have to go to the Laundromat. Just wanted to let you know so you don’t think you actually lost the luxury of a washer and dryer or anything by moving to the RV Life. You still have to pay for it in anywhere else.
I have this Class C... got it to tend to my Ranch. cost more to insure but everyone wants a class c, takes regular gas, no expensive engine repairs, GREAT on gas. You can run your generator for 3 to 5 days on one tank. I love it! need a Ranch in Texas let me know!
I would jump at the chance to live in a RV like this. It's beautiful, fresh, clean and has everything that you could ever need. All I would have to do is to buy one if those RV washing machines! ♥️♥️♥️
Wow, beautifully done. I love how you made the transformation with smart manageable changes as opposed to gutting the interior. That said, I’m sure this was a lot of work.
I am old and the one thing I would like is too have the bed come down lower for getting into. Came out great! Another question is where do you state, set up?
Fabulous layout and use of space. You should make up a bunch of them for sale. Bet you'd beat out the commercial brands. One or two people could easily live in one of those for a long period of time. Only drawbacks I could see is finding a place to park while towing a car and not being able to live where it gets really cold in the winter.
Thank you so much and that's a great idea! We haven't stayed in the RV in the snow during the winter yet, but we've seen other people do it. Right now, we're spending our second winter on the Oregon Coast. It's amazing.
What is appropriate cost of living for a couple in this setting? Considering the campground rent, gas and RV maintenance? How does it compares to living in regular township
We spend way less than we did on conventional bills, but it always depends on where you stay and how much you move. We stay places for days or weeks & we don't stay at expensive ones, so no big costs on RV parks or gas. Some people spend a lot more. We do also visit friends and family. Our solar is also about to arrive. Then we can be anywhere free!
Nice to see you have included so many sustainable and environmentally friendly choices in the RV. But if you really want to help the environment, get rid of the car you are towing behind you. Mountain bikes or an electric scooter are better choices. I'm 62 and have nothing on the back of my RV except a mountain bike that I bought used for $35.
Perfect size class C for 2 people. We had one for many years. It was 30 feet with a bedroom in the back which was perfect for our family of 3. Our son loved the loft space above the cab. Miss traveling. Got to get back into it
I have the same model and love it. Paid 8k with 2900 miles on it with 50 hours on generator. Had the cab lights replaced and awning because it sat for so long. After seeing your video I'm going to upgrade the interior.
@@KreativeFreedom the "incenilet" IS pricey but, no emptying anything. I'm not sure I could be the little old lady hollering "guardey loo" as I tossed my stuff out the window. LOL
What paint did you use on the cabinets? I need something that will stick and not ding and nick with the first clunk. Did you use chalk paint with a wax cover? Oil? I want to paint my RV interior but have also heard paint doesn’t want to adhere to the fake wood backs behind the cabinets? Did you have that issue? I hope you reply...
That sounds great, but the expenses of running a large vehicle would be comparable, I think, to running and even purchasing a house. Firstly, there's the costly purchase of a large vehicle. Then the renovations to make it habitable. If a second hand one is purchased, there's the expense of on-going repairs and replacement parts. If a new one, there are no repairs but isn't a new RV about the cost of a house deposit? And even if new there is the cost of about a thousand dollars a year for servicing. And then there's the cost of petrol for a large vehicle. Every few days, if one is driving constantly, there'd be like a hundred dollar bill? And then there are site fees? And after about 4-5 years, the vehicle would have done a lot of mileage and be no longer new and start to need costly repairs and replacements unless one buys another new RV.
Hold on Wendy - RVs with absolutely be had with nothing mechanically wrong with them for under 20k. Which, if you finance over 10yrs can be about $100/mo. Even then, you can still buy a new one every few years and trade the current one in, like a car. Campsite fees can add up, I lived in an RV for 15months and only paid for a site for 2 nights, so my grand total for over a year for rent was $16 and $26 respectively. How did I do that? Boondocking, working in a campground and the only major modification we made was to add solar panels, a cost of about $1200. So $100/month for unlimited electricity and the ability to stay outside of campgrounds, and not in some park packed in like sardines? Seems fair.
@@FunkyTreasureHunter Brilliant! We so agree with you and never stay in RV parks crammed together. Don't know why anyone would! Also, we just ordered out solar kit. So excited!
This one is a 2004 and the monthly payment is low. We also don't constantly move around and we don't stay at expensive RV parks. Mostly State Parks and Campgrounds. And, we boondock.
@@KreativeFreedom love it! My 2 fav websites while we were out: gasbuddy.com(although Costco won 99% of the time, except in Dallas-their gas stations had a lower price if you paid cash, weird), and freecampsites.net :)
Sandra Westley wow yours looks fabulous, I think your wise not to rip out all the cabinets you need storage space that’s secure if your travelling, having open shelves is great at home if that’s your thing, but travelling doors are needed to anchor everything down
Very nice remodel!! We are also coming up on our 2 year anniversary in our class C, Trixie. We love it too! Best lifestyle we have found yet. Thanks for sharing ❤️👍
Your van is incredible, but your bathroom is absolutely stunning! I want to ask you something: in your documents, what address you have? It is a very serious question, because in my country, I don't know if is possible and affordable a liberty like yours. For an bank account, I need an address. Please tell me, how you resolved that. And when you go for TUV - periodic mechanic service - sory, but I don't know exactly the name - with all this revovation is ok? Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much! We have a P.O. box and we can have things forwarded from it, if needed. Just kept our save bank accounts we already had. Try Aspiration - we can send you a link if you DM us! No problems with upkeep with the renovation.
Awesome! 🌿 I try to implement minimalist principles into my everyday life. I give more back story in a recent vid i did. Have an awesome day everyone! 😀 #simpleliving
So far, we've been plugged into shore power at campgrounds and State Parks, but the Bluetti solar system we ordered is about to arrive! We're so excited!
Yes, your life is a total luxury and I hope you offer thanks daily for being blessed in such a way. For most of us, we don't have that kind of luxury, jobs require us to live where we work. Kudos and safe travels.
Thank you so much! We are very grateful. Chris has always worked online, but I've had many stationary jobs working hard paying conventional bills. We do love seeing the constant increase in online job options, as well. The other thing that makes this possible is that we don't have to make as much without all of those bills!
Problem with deciding to move into an RV? The horror stories people insist on sharing with you that many times don’t even happen! Depending on how big your hot water heater is is what will decide your shower length. If you only stay gone for short trips where do you park your RV the rest of the time? If I gave up the hassle & big bills that you gave up I could be ok with just the laundromat too. Could always get an RV washing machine!
You are so right! Those horror stories were, well horrifying us. We are looking at little washing units, right now! Will be great to have, soon. Most of the time so far, we've been in a campground, a State Park or occasionally visiting someone. But, our solar is almost here and then we'll be able to be anywhere!
What an inspiration! Love love love the renovation. Makes me want to do the same. Innovative layout, I've never seen one set up like this and it obviously works so well. Thank you for sharing and happy trails!
You could possibly take out one of the kitchen cubboards and put in a washer/dryer machine honestly with how much cupboard you have. Would save you going to laundry mat.
Decent renovation, I had a rear kitchen RV once..never again, its the roughest bounciest ride of the rig everything gets hammered and breaks..good luck!
They painted the outside of the drawers, but not the inside? I don’t know if it’s the german speaking out of me, but this is madness! This would bother me every time i would open something, and its so easy to fix...madness, i say! 😉
@@KreativeFreedom oh, I can SO relate to that 😁 when we bought put house we stopped at a point and said "that's good enough for us now". and took a break. Sometimes that's what you need, even if something is looks silly for some time (like our living room) ;-) - many regards! 👋😋
Definitely a creative vision manifested… well done. Kinda of envious. It’s amazing what people can do/be when founded with a solid skill-set. Love the mobile home/space. Well done, you’ve obviously have a great affinity with each other’s differences. ✌🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
My son and I traveled around quite a bit in our Avalanche with a queen size bed in the bed that folds into the cabin. We got tired of getting chased out of the BLM and bought 40 acres off grid in Arizona. Was fun moving around while we did.
@@sirianemro7416 It gets pretty cold where I live. Might look over by Yuma or Tombstone areas. Look at building restrictions though unless you have the sort of budget to build. I live in my travel trailer.
@@spinderella3602 we have been looking at the Bisbee area. We want to build an earthship home. We live outside of Scottsdale & have our own well, solar, septic, etc. Really the only thing supplied is power but we put in solar & enjoy $0.00 bills in the winter & low $$ bills in the summer. We have a 1 bdrm coach which we would probably live in until the ship is built. Thanks for some points & suggestions. Stay healthy & enjoy.

I saw very great ideas here. Its awesome. Hope they install solar panels, too 😃
The inside looked huge. Just the perfect size for living and driving.
We couldn't believe how much the white paint and the light flooring opened it up! It felt so much smaller, before. .
I love seeing actual rvs and travel trailer renovations. I feel like it’s more affordable and achievable for most Americans compared to the sprinter vans
Way more affordable!
Plus I like that they stay at campgrounds because I'm not interested in stealth camping as a solo female.
for sure

We spend way less than we did on conventional bills, but it always depends on where you stay and how much you move. We stay places for days or weeks & we don't stay at expensive ones, so no big costs on RV parks or gas. Some people spend a lot more. We do also visit friends and family. Our solar is also about to arrive. Then we can be anywhere free!
Great stuff as always. Bit turned off by the Trump ad before though. I know you guys probably can’t control thAt though
So glad you liked this episode! They keep playing those stupid ads on our channel, too. Seeing if we can stop that.
Nice to see you have included so many sustainable and environmentally friendly choices in the RV. But if you really want to help the environment, get rid of the car you are towing behind you. Mountain bikes or an electric scooter are better choices. I'm 62 and have nothing on the back of my RV except a mountain bike that I bought used for $35.
Perfect size class C for 2 people.
We had one for many years. It was 30 feet with a bedroom in the back which was perfect for our family of 3. Our son loved the loft space above the cab. Miss traveling. Got to get back into it
I have the same model and love it. Paid 8k with 2900 miles on it with 50 hours on generator. Had the cab lights replaced and awning because it sat for so long. After seeing your video I'm going to upgrade the interior.
Great job!! I'd HAVE to find some space for a w/d combo & change out water heater to an on demand unit. Oh & the toilet to an "insinialet" one.
Thanks so much! Yes, we will be switching to that or composting, asap. We're also getting a little electric washer/spinner combo. :)
@@KreativeFreedom the "incenilet" IS pricey but, no emptying anything. I'm not sure I could be the little old lady hollering "guardey loo" as I tossed my stuff out the window. LOL
What paint did you use on the cabinets? I need something that will stick and not ding and nick with the first clunk. Did you use chalk paint with a wax cover? Oil? I want to paint my RV interior but have also heard paint doesn’t want to adhere to the fake wood backs behind the cabinets? Did you have that issue? I hope you reply...
Well done makeover! As an actor, I'd love a rig like yours. Figuring out how to do my self-tape auditions would be my challenge. 😆
That sounds great, but the expenses of running a large vehicle would be comparable, I think, to running and even purchasing a house. Firstly, there's the costly purchase of a large vehicle. Then the renovations to make it habitable. If a second hand one is purchased, there's the expense of on-going repairs and replacement parts. If a new one, there are no repairs but isn't a new RV about the cost of a house deposit? And even if new there is the cost of about a thousand dollars a year for servicing. And then there's the cost of petrol for a large vehicle. Every few days, if one is driving constantly, there'd be like a hundred dollar bill? And then there are site fees? And after about 4-5 years, the vehicle would have done a lot of mileage and be no longer new and start to need costly repairs and replacements unless one buys another new RV.
Hold on Wendy - RVs with absolutely be had with nothing mechanically wrong with them for under 20k. Which, if you finance over 10yrs can be about $100/mo. Even then, you can still buy a new one every few years and trade the current one in, like a car. Campsite fees can add up, I lived in an RV for 15months and only paid for a site for 2 nights, so my grand total for over a year for rent was $16 and $26 respectively. How did I do that? Boondocking, working in a campground and the only major modification we made was to add solar panels, a cost of about $1200. So $100/month for unlimited electricity and the ability to stay outside of campgrounds, and not in some park packed in like sardines? Seems fair.
@@FunkyTreasureHunter Brilliant! We so agree with you and never stay in RV parks crammed together. Don't know why anyone would! Also, we just ordered out solar kit. So excited!
This one is a 2004 and the monthly payment is low. We also don't constantly move around and we don't stay at expensive RV parks. Mostly State Parks and Campgrounds. And, we boondock.
@@KreativeFreedom love it! My 2 fav websites while we were out: gasbuddy.com(although Costco won 99% of the time, except in Dallas-their gas stations had a lower price if you paid cash, weird), and freecampsites.net :)
awesome love what you did with the RV thank you so much for sharing and happy n safe travels!
Thank you so much!
Sandra Westley wow yours looks fabulous, I think your wise not to rip out all the cabinets you need storage space that’s secure if your travelling, having open shelves is great at home if that’s your thing, but travelling doors are needed to anchor everything down
Looks amazing......What was the total cost of conversion including vehicle? I am thinking of going this route myself......Just starting to research.
We lived in an RV for a year, but it was parked. This is so much nicer . Your set p is great. It looks very comfortable.
Thank you so much! It is super comfortable. Hope you enjoyed your year in yours!
what about nosie from outside? the temperature stabilization?
The noise, it depends on where we are. Temperature, the insulation is not amazing, but it works well enough.
Beautiful layout! This is one of the best I’ve seen! Room wise it’s perfect & feels cozy . Awesome 😎
Great Video and I love the RV!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful
Only eye sore was the back of the closet door wasn't painted. Threw everything off since it looks so elegant.
Love this ! They kept it incredibly neat n clean.
Thank you so much!
Luv it! White and black, timeless and always fresh and airy! Great job!
Thank you so much!
Nice. Enjoy your life. Wish this was more popular when I was young. Would never have done the corporate world. Just too much white.
Thank you! It's never too late!
This is one of the best RV re-dos that I've ever seen!!! Thank you for the video!!
Thank you so much!
@@KreativeFreedom What RV is it?? I can't seem to catch the name on it...
@@SouthernBelleSassy It's a 26' Fleetwood Jamboree Class-C RV.
Stunning. Great colours. Love the kitchen at the back. Great storage
Thank you so much!
Very nice remodel!! We are also coming up on our 2 year anniversary in our class C, Trixie. We love it too! Best lifestyle we have found yet. Thanks for sharing ❤️👍
Your van is incredible, but your bathroom is absolutely stunning!
I want to ask you something: in your documents, what address you have? It is a very serious question, because in my country, I don't know if is possible and affordable a liberty like yours. For an bank account, I need an address. Please tell me, how you resolved that.
And when you go for TUV - periodic mechanic service - sory, but I don't know exactly the name - with all this revovation is ok? Thanks a lot!
I've seen some people use PO box or have other type of mailing addresses. Others use family member's addresses.
@@deelane7347 In ID or passport?
Thank you so much! We have a P.O. box and we can have things forwarded from it, if needed. Just kept our save bank accounts we already had. Try Aspiration - we can send you a link if you DM us! No problems with upkeep with the renovation.
Awesome! 🌿 I try to implement minimalist principles into my everyday life. I give more back story in a recent vid i did. Have an awesome day everyone! 😀 #simpleliving
So life improving to be minimal!
The RV is beautiful ! So functional and big.
Thank you!
Nice RV. Painting it white inside makes a huge difference.
Thank you! It made a huge difference!
Wow that is a fantastic RV. Really good use of space.
Thank you!
What is the make and model of your rig? So much room without a bed on the floor. I like it!
How do you guys power the electronic devices for longer period of time, to edit and create content inside that RV?
So far, we've been plugged into shore power at campgrounds and State Parks, but the Bluetti solar system we ordered is about to arrive! We're so excited!
Kreative Freedom awesome. Best of luck with that. Take care😀
@@vishu8494 Thanks! You, too!
I love that rv layout. I've only seen it one other time.
We got so lucky with it!
I have considered getting one of these but the gas mileage is what always kills the idea.
nice carband brother godbless always!
Thank you!
Yes, your life is a total luxury and I hope you offer thanks daily for being blessed in such a way. For most of us, we don't have that kind of luxury, jobs require us to live where we work. Kudos and safe travels.
Thank you so much! We are very grateful. Chris has always worked online, but I've had many stationary jobs working hard paying conventional bills. We do love seeing the constant increase in online job options, as well. The other thing that makes this possible is that we don't have to make as much without all of those bills!
Nice but very vague about pricing and what things actually cost.
We break costs down a little more on our channel, but feel free to ask us anything you want!
Damn, how on earth is there such a massive bathroom in that rig ? Everything about this home is awesome.
Very very nice, very well organized
Thank you!
Best option so far. If the table could be lowered and made into a bed that would be fab.
Very nice 👍😃
Thank you so much!
Beautiful job on the rig.
Thank you so much!
Love that kitchen area and the storage space is superb!
Thank you so much!
Problem with deciding to move into an RV? The horror stories people insist on sharing with you that many times don’t even happen! Depending on how big your hot water heater is is what will decide your shower length. If you only stay gone for short trips where do you park your RV the rest of the time? If I gave up the hassle & big bills that you gave up I could be ok with just the laundromat too. Could always get an RV washing machine!
You are so right! Those horror stories were, well horrifying us. We are looking at little washing units, right now! Will be great to have, soon. Most of the time so far, we've been in a campground, a State Park or occasionally visiting someone. But, our solar is almost here and then we'll be able to be anywhere!
What an inspiration! Love love love the renovation. Makes me want to do the same. Innovative layout, I've never seen one set up like this and it obviously works so well. Thank you for sharing and happy trails!
Thank you so much! 🙏
That's totally amazing ! Wow i'm impressed !
Thank you so much!
Wow that paint made it look colossal! It's a sweet rig!
Thank you so much! Are you from Montreal?
No, it's my middle name ☺️
Please tell me, what model of RV Ford it is? Many thanks!
Hi, Iona! It's a 26 foot 2004 Jamboree Class C.
You could possibly take out one of the kitchen cubboards and put in a washer/dryer machine honestly with how much cupboard you have. Would save you going to laundry mat.
That's a good idea! 😊
Decent renovation, I had a rear kitchen RV once..never again, its the roughest bounciest ride of the rig everything gets hammered and breaks..good luck!
Thanks! So far, everything has stayed secure back there! We just always forget to be careful opening the fridge 😂.
Living the dream wow is so nice to watch.😊👍🏻
Longue vie à Exploring Alternatives❤️🙏
What a beautiful renovation, Love it!
Thank you so much!
It was prolly raining during the shoot.
Sound is pleasing.
It was a little bit! Rain sounds so amazing in an RV. We love that.
What is the actual name and model for this RV?
The RV says it’s a Fleetwood and the numbers on the vehicle says [Ford] E-450, after googling, looks like it could be a Tioga.
It's an '04 Fleetwood Jamboree Class C. 26 feet. The layout instantly sold us. :)
Beautiful life, love your build
Thank you so much! 🙏
Brilliant layout! I want third setup if I ever got one
Thank you! We definitely got really lucky with this layout.
They painted the outside of the drawers, but not the inside? I don’t know if it’s the german speaking out of me, but this is madness! This would bother me every time i would open something, and its so easy to fix...madness, i say! 😉
HAHA! You are right and we still plan to. The painting took so long originally that we had had it at that point.
@@KreativeFreedom oh, I can SO relate to that 😁 when we bought put house we stopped at a point and said "that's good enough for us now". and took a break. Sometimes that's what you need, even if something is looks silly for some time (like our living room) ;-) - many regards! 👋😋
Definitely a creative vision manifested… well done. Kinda of envious. It’s amazing what people can do/be when founded with a solid skill-set. Love the mobile home/space. Well done, you’ve obviously have a great affinity with each other’s differences. ✌🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
My son and I traveled around quite a bit in our Avalanche with a queen size bed in the bed that folds into the cabin. We got tired of getting chased out of the BLM and bought 40 acres off grid in Arizona. Was fun moving around while we did.
🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵💥💥✌🖖👍
We bet that was so fun! Your 40 acre off grid sounds amazing, as well!
My husband & I are looking for about 40 acres also. We live in AZ. I can't stand to much cold. Any suggestions?
@@sirianemro7416 It gets pretty cold where I live. Might look over by Yuma or Tombstone areas. Look at building restrictions though unless you have the sort of budget to build. I live in my travel trailer.
@@spinderella3602 we have been looking at the Bisbee area. We want to build an earthship home. We live outside of Scottsdale & have our own well, solar, septic, etc. Really the only thing supplied is power but we put in solar & enjoy $0.00 bills in the winter & low $$ bills in the summer. We have a 1 bdrm coach which we would probably live in until the ship is built. Thanks for some points & suggestions. Stay healthy & enjoy.
