Hiya Bob! It was a pleasure and an honor to be interviewed by you - thanks for posting this and doing what you do: inspiring anyone on any budget to live their dreams! I could only hope to follow in your footsteps ❤
I'm curious about how that little gas stove hooks up to its fuel supply. I know those lp hoses aren't supposed to be flexed back and forth because it can cause them to leak. I'd like to know how she did it safely. It's genius for a space-saving way to utilize that space!
Best Part of this video: Always Live Below Your Means. When tough time comes, and it definitely will, there won't be drastic adjustments and struggle. I have to do better at it myself.
she is great! i sold my van in feb this year, cried for a couple of months. but i am 81, good health, good sight, and i miss my van!!!! the freedom , loved it.
Really appreciate the attitude Bunny brings to this. Her advice to just try it out is exactly how I got started. You try it, if you there's something you want to improve you figure it out but the freedom of nomadic lifestyle is so satisfying. I've spent hundreds of nights traveling in my 4runner and exploring the country and I couldn't give that up for anything in the world.
She is REAL. Sometimes I feel like I need an interpreter to help me understand the b/s that average people seem obsessed with projecting which most of the time is totally inaccurate. She is beyond that realm.
Yes... Just do it. You'll get over the fear within a night or two. You can always leave if you don't like the area you are parked in. I'm almost 60 and I've been a van dweller for two years now. I wish I would of done it sooner. My family though I was crazy at first, but now they say that's smart!
She is an inspiration! A good point to remember is that when financial setbacks happen in vanlife, any income can be used to pay off a loan or save up to replenish funds, without having to pay rent on top of that. It can take a year or more to get out of debt while making rent a priority. And of course, because it's a roof over your head. Fortunate for this lady when she said upon waking up the first morning in her vehicle, "I can do this!" Another person could have woke up thinking the opposite. It's worth it to give it a try and see what happens either way. One hint I like about this van build is the slide out table she writes on. So practical. I use everything from back of mail envelopes, to napkins, to brown paper bags to write everything! I'm thinking now to get a thin piece of plexiglass and a permanent marker and start writing. I'll always know where to find a number, a date, a name, an agency, important resources, the list goes on, literally😉. And btw, Home Depot has free to almost no cost lumber pieces at the back of that department. Just the right amounts for any project in a small van👍.
Ive never seen anyone else mount a stove like that, nice I have 2 of them mounted the same way in my converted cargo trailers countertop, I have bottle adapters connecting them to a 5lb bottle
"I didn't want to be in a cubicle the rest of my life." How so many of us have just accepted this as a way of life ... without question. Thank you Bob and Bunny: for setting another standard-a different way of thinking, and for paving the way for others.
A soul filling interview 🙏🏼 I spent eight weeks crossing the country and back on my Harley after my divorce. It was the most free Id ever felt in my life. I'm following bunny and you, keep up the good work and enjoy the day!
Great story and video! Her advice on starting out is spot on! I was one who had to give it a few tries before I could adjust but now.... I'm living in a RAM Promaster build and exploring Alaska for the summer. You come a long way from being "scared" to loving this life. Take it Day by day... and community and traveling with others are very helpful when making this decision ❤
BUNNY!!!! Yay! I watch every video CheapRVLiving uploads but I was so excited and happy when I realized that I knew this person! Bunny is one of the best, sweetest and realest people online, everyone go follow her right now!!!!
FYI in Canada Home Depot and other stores have piles of wood from pallets and other shipping items that they leave out back of their stores to take for free. Always ask before but that is how it is here in Brandon, mb Canada
I’m glad you added hope he’s ok. Society has brain washed people to think losing weight is “healthy” or being skinny is “healthy” and those two are not remotely synonymous. It’s common for older people to lose weight because of health problems. Hopefully Bob’s weight loss is intentionally and not because he’s not ok.
Nice set up and above all I loved her spirit! Sometimes it stinks and that’s what open windows and incense are for 😂 love it!!! Thank you Bob, I love your informative and fun videos, you are greatly appreciated! Much love and many blessings
Thank you so much Bunny. I have more and more hope with new changes coming next year for me. I am planning on what might be best to start. I am going to start as simply as possible.❤I am so grateful to have found you Bob.❤
Good for her! I applaud anyone seeking different options to save themselves money and enjoy life. Property taxes, mortgages, in some cases association fees, homeowners insurance…. I can keep going. These things make life very hard on most people. This young lady will live a long fulfilling life because she’s not burdened with the stress load that comes with meeting so many financial obligations.
Hi, Bunny! That was a great interview. You seem to have all your bases covered. I glad you are able to keep doing what you love. Wonderful interview Bob!
Awesome for you. I bought a van a year ago and have been working on it since and hope to be on the road next spring. I like the simplicity of your build!
It would be nice to know how she keeps warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It’s amazing she does not have an air conditioner and lives full time for 11 years in a van :o)
This lady, like so many others I've seen, is an inspiration to us all. Have seen quite a few of your videos, love them all. The main take-a-way for all of these videos is older Americans living on their own terns
I am super impressed. This young lady epitomizes all that is lovely and wonderful about being a road warrior and adventurer. Do you have to get your ducks in a row and grow into what you need it is a perfect way to get it
She is living a good life. And yes she is an inspiration. Please interview her again in a couple years. I’m praying she gets a bigger van. I’ll check her out on UA-cam. ❤
I would love to meet her on the road eventually. I am planning one way or another to escape the expensive sticks and bricks. My home is paid for, but I will not be able to afford it when I stop working because of Taxes, Insurance and other costs with owning a home with a yard and a pool. My house needs all sorts of things and I just can't see me spending my paychecks on that when I need to save for retirement at the same time. I am currently looking at trading my SUV for a van, and taking some 'trial' trips since I can go see family and friends. Then make the decision. Shower? Internet? Mail? so many questions for someone that has been doing it for 11 years!~!!
Omg I love this woman! This is one of my favorites all around. (Oh please reserve a video for her next van) 😊 I’ll be living this life when my elderly father dies so thank you for your work, Bob.
I love the fact that she asked her son's blessing to go. I am hanging out in the town where my son is in school until he graduates in June and then i'll move around following the weather.
Can someone explain the taping method she mentioned for her solar? I couldn't understand what she said and I don't want to drill holes in my roof either. Thank you in advance!
I can help. I am honestly not sure if she has flexible panels or rigid panels on her roof, but either way, she has used VHB tape for the surface between her panel bottoms and the top of the roof. Edit: VHB tape is two sided and very sticky stuff. Then she added tape from the top surface of the panels to the top of her van using Eternabond Tape. This stuff is from the RV industry, and it is best not to put it where you don’t want it to stay. It’s amazing. It comes in 2, 4 and larger widths. They sell a 6 foot length of their 10” wide tape for when you have big area but not a long distance. I think the regular rolls come in a 25 or 40 foot length. I have had a roll of 4” for years, from my time in Vintage trailers, and it occasionally comes up for a purpose in my ongoing world. I hadn’t thought about using eternabond to hold a solar panel to a roof. If there was anything that could do it that wasn’t a mechanical connector, Ebond tape would be my bet. Edit: If I was taping to my roof, I would make sure the tape covers from top edge to roof on the front. Prevent catching air (if you are using rigid metal frame panel.). As much as it is scary to drill into fiberglass roofs, to bring the wires inside, consider a cable gland to take the cables through. Protect its edges with the Ebond tape. Or just do what she did!
She put on 3M VHB tape, and put Eternabond over that. Eternabond is super AWESOME (except if you accidentally stick it to yourself ugh). Eternabond does not work over or with silicone products however.
That looks like a good utilitarian set up in Bunny's van. I wonder where was Sparrow and Cody were during the interview? I checked out Bunny's channel and subbed. I will travel again one but for now I'm enjoying my new adventure. I sold my longtime home base in 2021, and that money enabled me to buy my retirement homebase and not have a mortgage. My homebase/homestead is an acre of farmland with a farmhouse built in 1939 that I live in while I am working on it. I live below my means; I'm thankful I am not out there on the road anymore but I do plan to do some traveling again someday but it is more important to me to have a dependable vehicle, lawn and garden equipment, all my bills paid off, and my homestead paid for first. I could have bought a nice rig to travel and had an emergency fund but I decided to buy an economy suv, lawn and garden equipment, tools, and land with a house first because I want the land and home so that no one can tell me to move on. The first year I spent fencing entire acre with t-posts and chicken wire that I bought a little each month and put them up myself so that my dog could roam free on our own land and so people and stray animals were fenced out and couldn't enter without my permission. I have a big garden and I enjoy working in the yard and doing all the projects on and around my house. I live in northwest Florida farm country where the cost of living is low and I can grow a lot of my own food; I feel secure and happy. Take care travelers and enjoy life however you decide to live it!
Solo I sleep up front. I have a lowes shelf board-non lattice. I keep behind seats for store-for docked board goes across front seats, bedroll n bags then, pillows at one end, I sleep up front at 5'11" i can stretch out door to door. Entire dash and windows are at hand as needed, phone mount for viewing horizontally. I can sit up, turn to rear and be facing bay. With no need for bed i have all that space. I have a partition wall, took off sliding door to cage, so, my board leans against that with seats back. Sleeping up front I learned from truck cab(uhaul/box) sleeping. Because it is also useful say if using a uhaul and you dont want to go pay for motel. A board and a bedroll are as comfy as you make it. All that room in back at times means i have a two+ bedroom cargo van. Anyways, that is one of my main hacks. And for safety, I could sit up front ways, lower steering wheel and blast off.(when sleeping I have steering wheel all the way up for more headroom.)
What a lovely woman Bunny is! So much wisdom, 'street-smartness', experiecnes and great attitude. I like the van - it looks like someone is really living in there and being cosy. I love the stove in the door - that is a really good option, and I bet many people would love to repeat that option in their own rig. Really impressive, that she did this for 11 years already. That means, for sure, this formula workds!!! Thanks very much for sharing Bunny, thanks Bob! Greetz Jason
Hiya Bob! It was a pleasure and an honor to be interviewed by you - thanks for posting this and doing what you do: inspiring anyone on any budget to live their dreams! I could only hope to follow in your footsteps ❤
I know you have 200Watts of Solar but I was curious how ah battery?
Great job on the video. I have 06 yukon similar to your setup
I follow yo on TikTok. Great so see you here ❤
Chapeau! 👏👏👏 Und ❤ Dank für die Inspiration 💐
🍀
🫂
You have a nice round hips on you 😘💕😘
“If you always live below your means, you’ll always have some extra” your best advice ever Bob.
We live as Nomads call in the Bricks and Sticks. Be he is absolutely right.
Sim é isso mesmo......
The stove on your door is so simple, but it’s brilliant!
I'm curious about how that little gas stove hooks up to its fuel supply. I know those lp hoses aren't supposed to be flexed back and forth because it can cause them to leak. I'd like to know how she did it safely. It's genius for a space-saving way to utilize that space!
It’s a wood stove, but yeah, creative. I think I met her this summer
Yes, that is a great idea.
Trying may be successful.
Not trying guarantees failure.
You tried. You succeeded. Fantastic!
You go girl! Living what’s your dream and not someone else’s nightmare!
🎉🎉
Eleven years! Impressive.
Best Part of this video: Always Live Below Your Means. When tough time comes, and it definitely will, there won't be drastic adjustments and struggle. I have to do better at it myself.
So true 👍 😊
she is great! i sold my van in feb this year, cried for a couple of months. but i am 81, good health, good sight, and i miss my van!!!! the freedom , loved it.
Get another van!
I will be 93 in October and still solo full time Rv in my baby A motorhome and move every two weeks. Blessed with good health.
God bless you. Teach ppl how to do it...where you went, kept yourself safe 😊
Would love to have a van!!!
This woman is just awesome in every way! You inspire me.
Tysm!
Freedom may not be "free" but this lady proves it isnt that expensive either. Bless her heart (& her doggie) ❤
We always appreciate seeing the minimal builds! We went with a NO BUILD approach as well! Love her set up!
This lady is so sweet! Thanks for the tour & interview, Bob.
Best stove setup I've ever seen.
I have a tutorial for this stove setup on my UA-cam too 🍳
I’m impressed with how frugal Bunny is.
Really appreciate the attitude Bunny brings to this. Her advice to just try it out is exactly how I got started.

I've spent hundreds of nights traveling in my 4runner and exploring the country and I couldn't give that up for anything in the world.
“Sometime it stinks” the truth spoken here 👍
She is REAL. Sometimes I feel like I need an interpreter to help me understand the b/s that average people seem obsessed with projecting which most of the time is totally inaccurate.
She is beyond that realm.
Ha! I loved this! It’s true and also true with flush toilets in houses. I’ll take the van version any day 🎉
use spagnum moss and separate your urine when possible.
use spagnum moss
Nuts
She is absolutely precious
Awww😊
this lady is incredible! she looks like she could be a friend to anybody.
Very down to earth, low maintenance and great ideas she shared. She's so articulate! Very independent too. wow I'm impressed!
Yes... Just do it. You'll get over the fear within a night or two. You can always leave if you don't like the area you are parked in. I'm almost 60 and I've been a van dweller for two years now. I wish I would of done it sooner. My family though I was crazy at first, but now they say that's smart!
🎉🎉so happy you are in the community of nomads appreciating this lifestyle! ❤
LOVE 💓 this comment!
I'm just starting, any more tips
You really cant beat a conversion van for starting out! I love mine for vacations!
You are a Buddha BOB. Thank you for bringing this channel to the world.
What a great example of what’s possible. Thanks so
Much for the interview and tour!!
😊🥰🥰

FYI in Canada Home Depot and other stores have piles of wood from pallets and other shipping items that they leave out back of their stores to take for free. Always ask before but that is how it is here in Brandon, mb Canada
We have clearance stacks in the US towards the back of the store (nothing is free here 😅)
This lady is such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing her story.
Bob, you look like you're losing some serious weight, hope your health is ok.
Thanks for continuing these great stories.
Looking healthy, Bob.
So I'm not the only one who noticed.
Oh, he looks fit to me! Lifting those weights. Muscles! Whoo-hoo.
I am trying to increase my weight lifting regimen.
I’m glad you added hope he’s ok. Society has brain washed people to think losing weight is “healthy” or being skinny is “healthy” and those two are not remotely synonymous. It’s common for older people to lose weight because of health problems. Hopefully Bob’s weight loss is intentionally and not because he’s not ok.
I think he looks great n healthy..😊
You did great, and I love the simplicity even more then these perfect looking vans.
She keeps everything so simple, that is part of the "secret" of vanlife I am thinking.
What a great van. I love how Bunny sticks to a budget and keeps her life simple and her videos real ❤
What a great lady with many good ideas and lessons for this lifestyle.
I think it’s called pine pellets 7-8.
Dollars and works wonders
Simplicity. I like it!!!!
Thank you Bob❤Love your channel and your interviews with real people! I've been watching for over 10 years!
Great Inspiration!! Thank You Both for sharing 🙏👍
Nice set up and above all I loved her spirit! Sometimes it stinks and that’s what open windows and incense are for 😂 love it!!! Thank you Bob, I love your informative and fun videos, you are greatly appreciated! Much love and many blessings
I like the bottle cap idea!
Anyone thinking about van life she's giving you a glance at reality. Freedom to me.
Your an inspiration we have a 96 gmc explorer and camp every year we love our van it’s so freeing thank you for your story
Thank you so much Bunny. I have more and more hope with new changes coming next year for me. I am planning on what might be best to start. I am going to start as simply as possible.❤I am so grateful to have found you Bob.❤
Bunny! I follow her on TikTok, and I love her videos and lives. Good to see her here!
😊😊
Thanks Bob for show casing her here on youtube!
As it is, I dont follow other media sites, only youtube!
Thanks Bunny. I love you attitude on life.
Tysm! ❤
Thanks Bob!
I love how she set up her stove! It gives her options and is a space saver!
I really like the pull out table and door stove - crazy simple, but space saving & functional.
Good for her! I applaud anyone seeking different options to save themselves money and enjoy life. Property taxes, mortgages, in some cases association fees, homeowners insurance…. I can keep going. These things make life very hard on most people. This young lady will live a long fulfilling life because she’s not burdened with the stress load that comes with meeting so many financial obligations.
This lady is goals.
Hi, Bunny! That was a great interview. You seem to have all your bases covered. I glad you are able to keep doing what you love. Wonderful interview Bob!
Awesome for you. I bought a van a year ago and have been working on it since and hope to be on the road next spring. I like the simplicity of your build!
That door stove is genius!
How real is this van, I love it. Cudos to you for being so creative. ❤❤❤
It would be nice to know how she keeps warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It’s amazing she does not have an air conditioner and lives full time for 11 years in a van :o)
Great video! Living below our means and living a simple life of freedom is truly where it is at!
So good to see this resourceful woman - she is clearly thriving. Go, Bunny!
Great attitude. Making it happen, big applaud to you.
Boom! He said it in the first three seconds of this video. I just stopped it right there to comment. Thanks Bob. Lots of love to you.
Smart lady and she is free to do anything she wants to do and that’s awesome 😎!
Great living arrangement. You could paint your desk with blackboard paint and erase your notes after you transcribe them.
She may want to daily see, and imprint in her consciousness of these “notes” most days. Is that possible.
😂you are just like me. I would have everything painted. And use one color only for the fabrics. I would feel more relax
@@slackleashdogtraining3598you ✨get it ✨😉🫶
Great van build! Thank uou for sharing a part of your experience. We have the portable USB ceiling fans too. Greatest invention ever -- lately. 😊
Am I the only one that thinks the bottle caps to keep the tension bar in place its a Great idea!? Brilliant i say.
This lady, like so many others I've seen, is an inspiration to us all. Have seen quite a few of your videos, love them all. The main take-a-way for all of these videos is older Americans living on their own terns

What a great interview and I loved all of this information. I’m just so excited about towards the end when she says just go out and do it🎉
She is living a good life. And yes she is an inspiration. Please interview her again in a couple years. I’m praying she gets a bigger van. I’ll check her out on UA-cam. ❤
Thanks Bob and Bunny!

What a cool lady! Love her attitude and zest for living life in a very free way. Great show Bob. My best of luck for Bunny on her adventures. 😊❤️
I love the fact that she asked her son's blessing to go. I am hanging out in the town where my son is in school until he graduates in June and then i'll move around following the weather.
This lady is an inspiration to me tfs
She was a good inspiration, thank you for bringing her on!
Trying to find remote work to get into! Will figure it out eventually. Awesome build definitely taking some tips from this video
Bunny is smart. I thank her for some great tips.
I am in an RV, and I love it. I just upgraded from a travel trailer to a class C. I love the van life videos.
Your Home❤️
A Van A tiny house
A RV or a Car
No more paying $2000 rent no more
That’s door stove idea is genius! I just ordered one of those for 30 bucks on amazon that works with a butane canister or propane.
"There's a learning curve." That's putting it mildly. LOL Give it a go!
Can someone explain the taping method she mentioned for her solar? I couldn't understand what she said and I don't want to drill holes in my roof either. Thank you in advance!
I talk a lot about that in my Patreon and Tiktoks 😉
3M VHB tape
I can help. I am honestly not sure if she has flexible panels or rigid panels on her roof, but either way, she has used VHB tape for the surface between her panel bottoms and the top of the roof.

Amazing but you are never free till you are debt free. Keep it up girl you are an inspiration.

What a nice lady. Love the video Bob!
Bunny is brilliant! This video is chock full of good ideas!
Solo I sleep up front. I have a lowes shelf board-non lattice.
I keep behind seats for store-for docked board goes across front seats, bedroll n bags then, pillows at one end,
I sleep up front at 5'11" i can stretch out door to door.
Entire dash and windows are at hand as needed, phone mount for viewing horizontally.
I can sit up, turn to rear and be facing bay. With no need for bed i have all that space.
I have a partition wall, took off sliding door to cage, so, my board leans against that with seats back.
Sleeping up front I learned from truck cab(uhaul/box) sleeping.
Because it is also useful say if using a uhaul and you dont want to go pay for motel. A board and a bedroll are as comfy as you make it.
All that room in back at times means i have a two+ bedroom cargo van.
Anyways, that is one of my main hacks. And for safety, I could sit up front ways, lower steering wheel and blast off.(when sleeping I have steering wheel all the way up for more headroom.)
This is so inspiring. I am working towards retiring and being Mobil. Currently stationary in my 22ft TT.
Great layout!! Simple and efficient. I am going to use most of her ideas in my next van build.
Thanks, Bob and Bunny, for a great interview ❤
Loved the idea of the propane at the door❤
I hope that you can get a bigger rig. You've done a lot with very little, congratulations.
What a lovely woman Bunny is! So much wisdom, 'street-smartness', experiecnes and great attitude. I like the van - it looks like someone is really living in there and being cosy. I love the stove in the door - that is a really good option, and I bet many people would love to repeat that option in their own rig. Really impressive, that she did this for 11 years already. That means, for sure, this formula workds!!! Thanks very much for sharing Bunny, thanks Bob! Greetz Jason
Ty ever so much❤ there is a tutorial for this stove on my channel for those interested!
It was great meeting you, Bunny!😄🐔 Love the interview!
Inspired!!
