Cool watching one of your older videos. This is so awesome. I just love everything about this. This kind of living, your life struggles and you working hard to overcome them, your cool cats, your positive attitude and witty personality. Just your resourceful and independent spirit. People like you inspire me and there are not many around like you. Hell I’m not even fully like this but I wish I were.
I'm pretty new to your channel and wanted to see where you began. What I enjoy about you is you seem to take problems with little stress and worry. And, you've got a can-do spirit, not afraid of new things to learn. I look forward to see how you progress, I hope to live off grid on the road at some point.
This video just popped up in my feed: dang, look how far you’ve come! I’m probably 20 years older than you but when it comes to off grid, you are my role model! Keep it up, people like me depend on you!
nice to come across this old video, you've done so much, at first, I thought it may have been before you got the cats, but then I saw the two heifers laying around as usual.
Oh my ,, so BIG FUN to see this early video of your newly purchased "camper". It is really just perfect IMO. I am so glad you never painted the woodwork. Painting wood is mistake .. paint does not hold up, especially kitchen cupboards. Love the jackknife couch popout. Yes, a bit tight by the bathroom, even so, really very nice :) I live in NYS .. would love to drive to Nova Scotia but let my passport run out and my corolla sedan not great for sleeping while road tripping; I am more than a little raggedy these days anyway, so am extra glad I can watch a lot of great doings from here via youtube. THANKS for sharing♥
Great to see this video going back to the beginning. Not even the trailer shelter. Wow you've come a long way lady. Fyi, that fish clock with the swinging worm, i had the very same clock many years ago. Seeing it put a smile on my face😊. Have a great day 🌤👍🍻
I came across your channel a few months ago and have enjoyed your journey. I hadn't seen this video yet, very cool seeing where it all began. Continued good luck to you, Jenna!
Hmmm. Two years ago !!! Hope everything is going well with you and your lifestyle choice. I like how you video. Straight to the point. I’m from Manitoba and just bought a 23 foot trailer. I hope to live this type of lifestyle also. All the best and hope your still living this peaceful freedom lifestyle. 🧡🧡🧡
I somehow missed this! It’s awesome to see where you started and how the homestead has matured! You’re definitely the master of your destiny! Love to view your adventures!😎👍🏻
Wow, this video just popped up from way back when!! So cool to see how you got started 😊 Love the degrees and awards on your bedroom wall. Smart Lady! You have come so far from 6 to 7 years ago. Be proud!!❤
Hello 👋 Jenna , from South Texas 🤠( A ) 🍻you know I have seen quite a few UA-cam RV camper videos. I must say you are the very cleanest RV 🪣🧼🧽🧹camper I have ever seen.. Oh I love your videos,stay safe always my beautiful Canadian 🇨🇦🍻friend .. 🛠🧰🚧😊👋✨ Cheers 🍻
Hi well I started watching and figured maybe I should start from the beginning lol so here I am looking at your nice 28ft rig. Looks like you live in a beautiful area. So I’m going to binge watch and see how you got started. ✌🏻I watched a few and you are very handy, ya gotta be with an RV, I lived in one for about 7 years and they ALL leak ugh.
Wow so happy I found your channel! I'm a dreamer in Halifax whose really inspired by what you're doing! Especially in our winter. Your catio is everything btw. Looks like a happy home to me.
I just found your channel via your most recent video. I found it to be very interesting so decided to check out your older stuff. Wow! Changes have occurred. You are doing great. Time to benge your videos and subscribe to the channel. 👍🏻
haha....this must be the pilot episode. I started watching at the end of year two, i think. Cool to look back and see where you started. Great videos, Jenna. Love 'em. 👍👍💯✔
Great job Jenna.I am retired now and we are trying to get out of Houston.We did buy a old mobile home on a small piece of property in Bandera Texas i go up there two weeks at a time.
Super incredible home / camper. Has everything inside and neatly designed. Thanks for the tour. P.S. you might of been the only one with power during that nasty hurricane the other day. Hope Dorian wasn't a big problem for you. God bless
Very nice setup and adorable kitties!. Tis' the life for me and I pray that one day I will be able to enjoy such living it just seems more peaceful. Sure it's hard work always but you're working to better your situation and not some business. Anyways thanks for inviting us in and sharing your humble abode take care Gypsy Jenna. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I found this video! Yay! You are such an inspiration to me right now, whether you are staying full time or not. I was just feeling overwhelmed yesterday as I am also trying to live in my camper full time and its been a bit of a chore!! Look forward to more videos!!
Food for thought you can use foam block insulation for a skirting around your trailer keep the cold air from traveling under your trailer! Use aluminum tape to tape it together! And if you dont keep heat in that trailer this winter it could damage the trailer as a whole with mildew mold or dry rot! The fire place donot make really hot fires in it and you need to protect the area were the pipe roams all areas even the side of the stove so heat will ignite a fire if your not carefull ! Be carefull and ventilate even in the winter! Fresh air creates warmer air ! Allways remember that plus you dont want to suffocate either! So allways crack a window about and inch on both ends of the trailer to cross ventilate ! Another thing all cupboards in trailers lack ventilation make ventalation for them so mold mildew dont grow ! You can use baking soda boxes and activated charcoal to absorb bad odors! Then those moister things you can bye at the dollors store or Walmart work really well for grabing moister! Trust me im a lifer on rving in the north! If you have a rubber roof clean it and treat it before! winter allways a good idea ! Never cover the whole trailer ever ! just the roof and it needs to be able to breath also but keep it dry ! Hope this all helps, if you dont heat use all the things i says to use and open all cubbord doors and refrigerator if either way if you do or not stay in it in the winter if it snows you have to get that snow off the roof! Snow is heavy ! Specially when it melts!
Thanks for the info. This was 2 years ago and i do have a floating roof built aroubd the trailer so the snow slides right off..prpbably the best thing I have done to it since being in an area that gets snow
God Bless you Jenna..I’m praying you worked on a covering for this for harsh weather. I use to reside on my Rez...I’m Indigenous Native so I still have the option. I want to consider all the various minimalist living styles. Your situation and arrangement is Great 👍🏽! Stay Strong, persevering, and in good health. Love 💕 your felines, mine will GROWL whenever they hear anyone at my house 🏠! I had a Male Cat who would push the curtains aside to look at the front porch and HISS at anyone getting too close! Your home Decor is Exceptional as well...🤔🙏🏽🙇🏻♀️💕👍🏽🇺🇸🕊
been watching you for a while now , first i saw your early ones, you done great and improved your place over yrs. i thinking of doing similar im retired single 2 spoiled felines , and tired of taking care of a 3 bed house in fl. thinking of buying rural land putting 1 bed mobile or a travel trailer and a container or even a truck trailer for storage and workshop. ben threw 4 hurricanes only minor damage no flooding i picked both a good builder now deceased and not in flood area but don't need such a big place
Love you channel Jenna , Hello ✨👋😎✨from south Texas . It’s been so hot🥵🥤 lately, I have the central AC on and I turn on one of your cold videos . I actually feel really cold ❄️🥶✨👍Stay Safe my Canadien Friend..✨👋✨
When blocking the trailer for stability put you concrete blocks with the cores in a vertical position for maximum strength. Also use treated wood blocking & wood wedges made from Oak.
Those blocks have a 1100 psi strength there is no way that trailer could cause that load you do realize that these are used in basements holding against dirt and frost and I have never herd of treated oak also oak will rot out before pine
Red Oak ships From Norway and Finland are still afloat after 400 years. Yes....400 years. I toured them at the Festival of the Sea while active duty U.S.N. It's the only wood that has that "special oil".
Jon Koza if these ships were to dry the wood would crack but if they keep them soaked the wood holds up well. Oak rots when it cracks and water gets in the cracks. Lots of boats use oak for the main frame and some do use it for planks too but if you let them dry other woods are far more superior. If she used cedar there would be no worries of bugs eating the wood
say you might look into changing your water barrel into a plastic container you wouldn't have a problem developing rust in the future,, great set up though ,,live life free and easy, good luck in your adventures ranny😊😊
Hey ! I live in a 42ft 1988 camper trailer..me and 2 pups..wouldn't trade it for anything! I'm more at peace than I think I've ever been.😎 Love and light to you!✌❤🎶
Greetings from BC! My wife and i and 2 cats have lived in a similar, slightly smaller and older trailer to yours. We live on 20 acres in a forest at 3.500 feet above sea level. We are coming into our 3rd winter now. The coldest we have had is -30C, we have no wood stove on the trailer bit I built a 8' x 8'0" plywood annexe on the rear trailer and put a woodstove in there. When it gets real cold we light the stove and slide open our bedroom window to let the heat come in. Great jib with interior planning for space, ours is not as good as that. Best Wishes, Chris.
You know? What an amazing place to stay at and enjoy nature. I don't know if u're still living there but if yes would be great to have an update about the van. Have a nice day ;)
I'm just about ready to make my way back out that way and been interested in taking on the same lifestyle. Any advice where it comes to choosing land I won't be constantly pushed off of?
Yeah I’m trying to figure out if she owns the land? Because how could you set up so permanently on land you could just get pushed off? In the states you would have to move every two weeks if you didn’t own it.
Love the wood stove. My camper is only 24ft, no slides, can’t really hold a wood stove, so I might put an mudroom on the front with a wood stove, and then have a fan in the window to blow the warm air from the addition to the camper. We’ll see how the winter goes.
@Joseph Gadow The way the market for homes in my area. Is outrageous. For a one bedroom house, $1100.00 A month. I started looking into campers, trailers, and class b to see what will be best to get. By watching UA-camrs videos on their rv, trailers, or campers.
The wood stove is awesome. And your correct about putting something on top to prevent damage to you celling. Maybe attach a heat shield on top of the turn pipe with brackets 3 inches from the pipe. Should be a good 10 inch from your celling...might help.
am new here just started looking at your videos. i enjoy watching them . am looking into do the same thing . as soon as i sell my 7ac in west plains mo . . you got a nice set up.
Try a oxegen shower head 32 bucks Walmart, and white cabinets, keep the mirrors on them like you said makes it look bigger, and white will make ceiling look higher too. Saves water and gives pressure, and throw on one of those blue exterior water filters. And there is a little pump like 6 bucks attach 2 hoses and drill and you can pump water into fresh water tank as well. Absolutely love your trailer and your work ethic. Looking forward to your next vid. I am Canadian, we got a 17 foot trailer for the 2 of us to escape our adult kids living with us. It is set up for boondocking, the trailer parks have gotten unreal in price, In Moncton it was 80 bucks for a night, we went to Walmart. lol
You are so welcome. There are many videos on trailer gadgets and also there is this add room shower curtain rod, we got one, and have not installed it yet, but in theory it looks pretty cool. We have a too big of a house for just the two of us, but with the adult kids and 1 full time grandson, it is fine. But we want desperately to downsize, this trailer journey has taught me so much. Our 17 foot trailer be too small for full time. Ideally we would like to stay in Canada for spring summer and fall, then winter in Florida. But I love your trailer, my sister has our parents home, and she cant financially run it, I am, but we cant do this much longer, so what you have would be great for my sister. Absolutely great work.
I think you live pretty well, Ms. Jenna. I grew up in a truck camper family, 4 of us in a truck camper on rainy days. Lots of card games and Scrabble. We had to get ice every two days or less to keep any food in the ice box cold. I'm not complaining. Someday I may have to trade my brick home in for a trailer and live like you. I watched your video to see if you could give me any ideas. I've never seen a wood stove in a camper before. Be careful you don't asphyxiate yourself when using that. A wood stove will use up oxygen quickly if you don't have air coming in from a vent or vented window. Good video!
Thanks! And sounds like a neat childhood, lots of stories I bet! I do always keep a cracked open vent and also have several carbon monoxide alarms for peace of mind! :)
Hi. I recently discovered and subscribed to your channel. I enjoy your narrative and content. Your place is cozy and inviting. I’m glad this video was posted because I can compare the progress you have made. I’m curious as to the certificates you had on your bedroom wall, if it’s not TMI. It’s obvious you’re intelligent and resourceful. I wish you all the luck and great rewards in the future.
It appears very spacious for a 28 footer! My class A is under 33 feet and I have two slide outs. I often think about having a 36 foot especially for two people, a dog and cat. Perhaps, one day I'll buy a 3 or 4 Slide out. If not, maybe have a third Slide out from my hallway out. In Vancouver Fraser Valley.
@@gypsyjenna I am residing in the US. I am planning on leaving the states. I am just weighing out my options. Canada looks so beautiful. However I don't know if I can get used to the freezing cold weather. I hope you and your kitties stay warm up there! Blessings!🎄🎄🎀🎀
@@ericboswell8576 if you choose to reside on the coast (east or west) your winters will be less cold! Our winters here in NS aren't that bad. Winters in southern BC aren't bad either. Mildish
I’m in Ontario would love to set up a spot like this but I think the only 2 options for all seasons for us is in Rv parks or if u own land in an unincorporated area (usually far up in northern Ontario, if I’m wrong please someone correct ). I would like to be able to get a small lot as a home/trailer base but don’t want to been so far out where we seem able to do it. Are the bylaws the same in Nova Scotia?
Viewed fr. Manitoba here. Nice setting for your trailer and I thought the cover for the generator was a smart idea-thanks & good luck for the winter thats coming.
most campers that size have small propane furnaces... not meant for serious winter weather though older units have large propane space heaters that will heat a small house... you must sacrifice a 2 foot square ceiling high space for one though... As I will be hooked up to electric I will supplement with electric liquid radiators and heat tape for water pipes
If wrap the wood stove vent with fiberglass and then wrap the fiberglass with water heater vent foil near the wall pass the bend on the vent of the wood burning stove it should keep the paint from boiling off of the walls. Plus foam cutout shapes of the windows. It would also be a good Idea to stockpile supplies and have a way out or even to get rescued if things go bad.
I owned a trailer almost exactly the same as this one (94 Dutchman) only difference I see is mine didn't have the slide out. I've owned 2 trailers and a class A Motorhome since, should have kept the Dutchman and saved all that $$$, looking back it was the best one, and one was a new toy hauler that cost 5 times as much & had more issues pop up. Imagine that!
You have an awesome pad there, thank you for sharing. I hit subscribe and I'm looking forward to your next video. The two cats were the icing on the cake. Peace & Blessings...….
You need to build yourself a nice Sundeck right along the front of it it will give you so much more room how's it going from door-to-door keep things off the ground I seen your other video with the roof on it's looking good.
What you have there is a good way to beat the high cost of living in the traditional home, I see more and more people doing this. Good ideas, I feel sorry for these people with those big homes and long term mortgage. You go girl.....
If you do plan on sticking around please invest in a scanner or CB..... you will be shocked at how much chatter there is or information you could gain from a few minutes of productive chatter
@@neuromance3149 very true. I think she swapped out to a bigger stove. . They eat a lot of wood. . One thing with these rv's is they have next to no insulation. .so it will cause mold. In the walls.
@@462ANIMAL where is the moisture going to come from? The wood stove will put out a dry heat, no moisture. Besides 2019 will be her 3rd winter in the camper.
I have a tiny house and pets and we put a deck box outside and mounted a pet door inside that is a passway to the litter box it works perfect and opened that space for us
So good to see your old vids!
Cool watching one of your older videos. This is so awesome. I just love everything about this. This kind of living, your life struggles and you working hard to overcome them, your cool cats, your positive attitude and witty personality. Just your resourceful and independent spirit.

Can you see the transformation from this date to the present…❤ keep the videos coming , always a pleasure to watch Jenna

The wood stove is awesome. And your correct about putting something on top to prevent damage to you celling. Maybe attach a heat shield on top of the turn pipe with brackets 3 inches from the pipe. Should be a good 10 inch from your celling...might help.
Just stumbled across your video somehow looking at other stuff. Love it ! Great job and really nice touches you've done.
am new here just started looking at your videos. i enjoy watching them . am looking into do the same thing . as soon as i sell my 7ac in west plains mo . . you got a nice set up.
Try a oxegen shower head 32 bucks Walmart, and white cabinets, keep the mirrors on them like you said makes it look bigger, and white will make ceiling look higher too. Saves water and gives pressure, and throw on one of those blue exterior water filters. And there is a little pump like 6 bucks attach 2 hoses and drill and you can pump water into fresh water tank as well. Absolutely love your trailer and your work ethic. Looking forward to your next vid. I am Canadian, we got a 17 foot trailer for the 2 of us to escape our adult kids living with us. It is set up for boondocking, the trailer parks have gotten unreal in price, In Moncton it was 80 bucks for a night, we went to Walmart. lol
Wow thanks for all the advice!
You are so welcome. There are many videos on trailer gadgets and also there is this add room shower curtain rod, we got one, and have not installed it yet, but in theory it looks pretty cool. We have a too big of a house for just the two of us, but with the adult kids and 1 full time grandson, it is fine. But we want desperately to downsize, this trailer journey has taught me so much. Our 17 foot trailer be too small for full time. Ideally we would like to stay in Canada for spring summer and fall, then winter in Florida. But I love your trailer, my sister has our parents home, and she cant financially run it, I am, but we cant do this much longer, so what you have would be great for my sister. Absolutely great work.
I think you live pretty well, Ms. Jenna. I grew up in a truck camper family, 4 of us in a truck camper on rainy days. Lots of card games and Scrabble. We had to get ice every two days or less to keep any food in the ice box cold. I'm not complaining. Someday I may have to trade my brick home in for a trailer and live like you. I watched your video to see if you could give me any ideas. I've never seen a wood stove in a camper before. Be careful you don't asphyxiate yourself when using that. A wood stove will use up oxygen quickly if you don't have air coming in from a vent or vented window. Good video!
Thanks! And sounds like a neat childhood, lots of stories I bet! I do always keep a cracked open vent and also have several carbon monoxide alarms for peace of mind! :)
Really nice location. Looks peaceful.
Very nice! Jenna, Best wishes from FL. B safe in your endeavors.👍
Hi. I recently discovered and subscribed to your channel. I enjoy your narrative and content. Your place is cozy and inviting. I’m glad this video was posted because I can compare the progress you have made. I’m curious as to the certificates you had on your bedroom wall, if it’s not TMI. It’s obvious you’re intelligent and resourceful. I wish you all the luck and great rewards in the future.
Thank you, just two diplomas a few certifications 🙂
pretty basic setup but a very nice one .. some peace and quiet from city noise
Awesome rig. Thanks for sharing❤😁🇺🇸
It appears very spacious for a 28 footer! My class A is under 33 feet and I have two slide outs. I often think about having a 36 foot especially for two people, a dog and cat.
Perhaps, one day I'll buy a 3 or 4 Slide out. If not, maybe have a third Slide out from my hallway out. In Vancouver Fraser Valley.
What is land going for in your area? Per acre? I love your channel! Happy Holidays!🎅🎅☃️⛄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁
I haven't looked lately! Happy Holidays!
@@gypsyjenna I am residing in the US. I am planning on leaving the states. I am just weighing out my options. Canada looks so beautiful. However I don't know if I can get used to the freezing cold weather. I hope you and your kitties stay warm up there! Blessings!🎄🎄🎀🎀
@@ericboswell8576 if you choose to reside on the coast (east or west) your winters will be less cold! Our winters here in NS aren't that bad. Winters in southern BC aren't bad either. Mildish
@@gypsyjenna NS winters are not bad?? Really?? I was thinking the winters are freezing cold in your area.
@@gypsyjenna BC is too expensive, too liberal and too crowded for me.
Love the setup. Spent lots if months for many years in my hunting and fishing camper best if times
I’m in Ontario would love to set up a spot like this but I think the only 2 options for all seasons for us is in Rv parks or if u own land in an unincorporated area (usually far up in northern Ontario, if I’m wrong please someone correct ). I would like to be able to get a small lot as a home/trailer base but don’t want to been so far out where we seem able to do it. Are the bylaws the same in Nova Scotia?
Viewed fr. Manitoba here. Nice setting for your trailer and I thought the cover for the generator was a smart idea-thanks & good luck for the winter thats coming.
I use an AC cover and a rock :D
Thanks for the inspiration 👍
I like your camper that is nice I wish I find me a decent camper like a that ,, and you do got looking nice round there
What a lovely pad....with the log burner in the winter it would be fabulous...
7 years or so a trooper you are I'd like to see you build a house I think you can do it
You have made the camper into a comfortable home, I watched the Hurricane video first.
Nice camp site. Keep safe with the wood stove. May I suggest a buddy heater for back up jic. Happy camping.
Thank you. Have a buddy heater for back up as well :)
most campers that size have small propane furnaces... not meant for serious winter weather though older units have large propane space heaters that will heat a small house... you must sacrifice a 2 foot square ceiling high space for one though... As I will be hooked up to electric I will supplement with electric liquid radiators and heat tape for water pipes
Very cool. Good luck to you. Thanks for sharing.
It’s so cute and nice I hope so you’re enjoying
Your channel is so cool. I love your accent:) Keep on doing what you're doing.
Very nice good job thanks for sharing. Gives me inspiration.
If wrap the wood stove vent with fiberglass and then wrap the fiberglass with water heater vent foil near the wall pass the bend on the vent of the wood burning stove it should keep the paint from boiling off of the walls. Plus foam cutout shapes of the windows. It would also be a good Idea to stockpile supplies and have a way out or even to get rescued if things go bad.
I owned a trailer almost exactly the same as this one (94 Dutchman) only difference I see is mine didn't have the slide out. I've owned 2 trailers and a class A Motorhome since, should have kept the Dutchman and saved all that $$$, looking back it was the best one, and one was a new toy hauler that cost 5 times as much & had more issues pop up. Imagine that!
Wow truly amazing how the mirror's give that illusion of more space awesome. Thanks
I have huge mirrors in my 96 coachman Catalina 35 footer it really gives a feeling of space...
Good idea with the litterbox in the tv cabinet
You have an awesome pad there, thank you for sharing. I hit subscribe and I'm looking forward to your next video. The two cats were the icing on the cake. Peace & Blessings...….
very nice ( my family is from lower Wedgport/ yarmouth NS your trailer is nice thankyou for sharing
You need to build yourself a nice Sundeck right along the front of it it will give you so much more room how's it going from door-to-door keep things off the ground I seen your other video with the roof on it's looking good.
New subby! Sweet set up and your ingenuity 😍..
What you have there is a good way to beat the high cost of living in the traditional home, I see more and more people doing this.
Good ideas, I feel sorry for these people with those big homes and long term mortgage.
You go girl.....
Love the peaceful sleeping kitty
If you do plan on sticking around please invest in a scanner or CB..... you will be shocked at how much chatter there is or information you could gain from a few minutes of productive chatter
New stove need heat fan blowing toward the back stay warm Wyatt from Nashville TENNESSEE.
Thanks i have one now and a totally different stove as that was from a couple of years ago
We’re in for a long cold winter! I’m not so sure about staying in that over the winter, might be a tough go.
that place is probably a sauna with that wood stove as long as she has enough wood stockpiled she'll be fine
@@neuromance3149 very true. I think she swapped out to a bigger stove. . They eat a lot of wood. . One thing with these rv's is they have next to no insulation. .so it will cause mold. In the walls.
Especially down east
@@462ANIMAL where is the moisture going to come from? The wood stove will put out a dry heat, no moisture. Besides 2019 will be her 3rd winter in the camper.
@@johninokla2635 I was thinking moisture would come from heat loss. .as the walls aren't very well insulated.
Good grief, you live on solar,lol, you keep doing what you’re doing, we love it! I think you’re fabulous 🤗❤️
I have a tiny house and pets and we put a deck box outside and mounted a pet door inside that is a passway to the litter box it works perfect and opened that space for us
