This is my first time visiting Truckee California. This area has been a welcome surprise. It is absolutely beautiful here. I also got to experience a day of rain. I’ve been wishing for a rainy day for months. I’m smitten with Truckee and wish I could stay here a long time.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

The walkway over the river looks fabulous to be able to walk and the view!!
I spent about a month in the Truckee area back in 2014. I camped in the National Forest up past Stampede Reservoir. I used that laundromat a couple of times, the library, and showered at the recreation centre on the east end of town. Made a couple of jaunts down to Lake Tahoe. It's a great area. I really need to get back there again. I hope you find work and can stay there as long as you like.
Thanks Al.
Scott,
As ever another great video, your storage dilemma reminded me of the historical documentaries of the submarines from especially ww2 , where they were stashing fresh food in all possible places….
Enjoy your stay in Truckee, have only driven through and by there, never stopped, clearly my loss - c’est la vie….
Cheers
Glenn
Good morning from Dublin Ireland
I absolutely love your sense of humor and your down to earth personality!! But please come back to Humboldt!!!!
I've never heard of Truckee, looks like a nice place. Not too hot in the summer, not too cold in the winter.
Our opinions concerning what is “cold” are a bit different. I just walked by a giant mound of snow… and it’s June!
@@StaticCamperVan Make yourself a coffee snowcone. Just don't use the yellow snow 😁
@@StaticCamperVan 50 F is cold for me 🥶
@@Regi869 The coldest weather I lived in as a child was 63 below zero farenheit, didn't happen often. We went to school till it hit 40-50 below.
Wow, what a great idea! Think of all the toppings!@@JG-kv4oi
Of course you are a real UA-camr!
I have been watching your blogging since at least 2016.
You have influenced me to downsize and be happy with what I have.
How you react to life changes is very considered and calming.
Thank you for sharing your life’s adventures
Thank you, Sherry
Yes, Truckee is absolutely gorgeous! I miss No Cal! I was hoping thou that u are carrying bear spray? I’m sure u saw also those two young brothers that were attacked by that cougar in Cool, Ca. a few days ago. Real awful shame. U never mention it but I really hope u are carrying some for some kind of protection. I assume it works on cougars too.
Be safe my friend.
Yes, Truckee is awesome. No, I didn’t see that, I’m trying to avoid news of that sort right now
Free van wash.
Just add some maple syrup to that coffee and half-and-half and we will be simpatico. Your chili looked delish. I hope you found some work in Truckee since you like it so much.
Thanks!
I only drink spring or distilled water 😇
So random I just saw another video about a train traveler going to SF and they remarked how pretty Truckee was and then you’re talking about how nice it is. Hope Truckee gives you some opportunities for your jobs
Head back east on 80 to USA Pkwy. There are a ton of warehouses out there. Maybe check with temp services in Reno and they can get you a job out there. That’s where Tesla built that gigafactory. Downieville CA is a great place to visit.
Not sure I want to be in Reno
So pretty. when i have gone to Tahoe, I've never explored the area and clearly Truckee is worthy of that. I hope you can find some work there. Sounds like good news regarding the altitude sickness - that's wonderful. hooray for summer rains! Wow.
Scott, your vlogs just keep getting better! Great scenery, amazing places you're finding, and it's nice to be a (virtual) part of your days. I love your content, and especially the longer format of some of your videos.
What a beautiful area! Great vid. This week. Thank you.
Love the sound of rain 🙂
Very enjoyable Video
Nice to see you I. A comfortable place and smiling.
I think I would like to visit there🌻
Luv GO also and Green Trees and Trador Joes
G’day Scott, I love the sound of rain on the roof. Truckee looks like a beautiful spot. Take care out there and safe travels friend.
Beautiful area for sure! Very expensive there. The Chili looked yummy. Terrific video!
The chilli looked really nice! Good cooking and Truckee looks a lovely area too!
I love my Altra Lone peaks..
Have them resoled
Oh, I don’t smoke
May I ask why you don’t like sitting in a laundromat? Enjoyed this video!
I’m sensitive to chemicals. Most laundry detergent gives me migraines
I wonder if one of those bear boxes could keep my beagle out of the trash. Probably not!
Be worth a try
I've spent a lot of time boating/skiing on Lake Tahoe and skiing up at Heavenly. One of the prettiest places on earth for sure and some GREAT ski conditions. I don't think rained to much when I was there but I did see a bear in a dumpster once. :) Maybe you should store your bread in your laundry bag? tee hee Winters are cold up there but summers..... Perfect
OMG those signs.
The only fact I knew about Truckee before visiting was winter’s COLD. Hahaha
Mt. Rose gets 20-30 FEET of snow in winter and the door to the houses are often into the second floor, not the first. 😥
You could always go back to the PNW if you’re missing the rain. ✌🏻😂
Haha, yes that would solve the problem!
👋🏻
Great town lovely location Scott.
Just wondering can you access the cab of your van through curtains if needed in an emergency ?
Yes, there’s a pass-through. I haven’t used it in years though.
Great video... ELON MUSK ❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
I can't afford to be a cash supporter , do I have to be
The best way to support me is to watch my videos in their entirety
Only 40mins? You can do better (;
Hahaha, I cut at least fifteen minutes!
@@StaticCamperVan We all want those 15mins! lol
Okay, I’ve been a long time silent watcher of your videos and throughly enjoying YOU.
Sent Mainly because I watch UA-cam on my TV screen and haven’t figured out how to comment there.
But the time has come for me to take the extra time and additional step to reach out to let you know you’re such an inspiration to me
You are the one I tune to at the end of a hard work day and I need some normalcy and quiet in my life
May not be a big deal to you or others but it’s huge to me
Thank you for keeping it calm and cozy which nowadays it is such a blessing
I enjoy your videos so much
Thank you 😊
Thank you for keeping me calm and positive. I have relied on you to keep me grounded those days when I’m feeling overwhelmed or just plain selfish thinking my little world was the it and end of all
Oh…and it doesn’t hurt that you’re not too bad to look at ☺️
Aww, Thanks so much. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Wishing you well.
@jeanwest1058
I completely agree! Well said…
This man is a beautiful, gentle , kind soul and calms me as well. So rare this day and age. Nice to see and spend time watching his videos.
I love Grocery Outlet! ❤️
I make my own creamer: 2c. H&H, 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 1/4c Torani flavored syrup. It's really good, cheaper than buying flavored "creamers" and I know what all the ingredients are.
That chili looked delicious! I never thought Truckee could have been such a lovely town. Looks really nice. The name always made me think of it as a truck stop, with all the associated connotations, lol. TFS.
So, you are saying that you are living in a van... down by the river...
Arrgggg! 😂
Double thumbs up on your work this week. Total enjoyment listening to your narration and visuals on your vlog.
Thanks for your work. Stay Safe n Sound
Thank you
Definitely going to add Truckee to my list of places to visit in my self converted Pro master City. Thank you for sharing.
Most people think feet are ugly and would prefer not to look at them or think about them, but you're absolutely right that human toes are evolutionarily designed to spread and help us walk!
glad you cottoned on about the oatley, it really is easy to make your own for a fraction of the price and probably still healthier than dairy for you Scott. my husband keeps saying we must make some Sauerkraut - he tells me it's easy! I understand fermented is very good for you but i need convincing as its not my taste! I like the intro shot of you sitting in the back of the van - apart from goodlooking I'd say it's a picture of contentment!
Truckee is beautiful. Lived there for 5 years when I was a teenager. It's like paradise. Rafting the Truckee river, skiing, hiking..great memories growing up there. Enjoy!! Love all your videos! Peace ✌🏼️
I was in Truckee once . I’m from Syracuse, NY . Biggest pine cones ever. Beautiful area. Gold country.
Awesome! I watched your video till the end! Looking forward for new video
Thank you
What a great video. You have such a kind & calming energy. I also love the rain & here in northern England we get a lot of it.
Looking forward to watching more of your channel 🙂
Claire xx
Thanks Claire
Actually what is healthy is heavy or whipping cream. Good news!
Careful where you park in S Lake Tahoe especially at the trailheads. Was hiking Eagle Falls and my van window was smashed and my camera bag was stolen.
Yup, SLT is rampant with tweakn thiefs..
Sorry to hear that
Having lived in reno/sparks for 40 years I have seen it snow every month of the year at Tahoe/truckee. However that altitude is perfect in the summer, when it's 90 to 100 down here it's 10 to 15 degrees cooler up there. If you have extra gas take a drive up north on 89 to grayeagle, it's a beautiful drive.😀
I would need more than one cup of coffee at that river , beautiful
There is a sense of freedom to your lifestyle
I really liked Truckee when I stayed a night there. There were white water kayakers playing by a bridge right downtown. At least that's where I remember it being 🤔
Be careful of taking naps with your doors open. I can’t imagine doing that.
This vlog was quite the extraordinary adventure with just about everything! You’re just not a cheeky You Tuber but you definitely are an influencer and content creator. I’m happy for you in the nice town there. Rain, yes, do we all need it. Well except for Yellowstone😳. Sure hope you find work there too. Did you get to go inside that train car? Thank you for sharing your life and opening up yourself😎
Oh, I’m not allowed to go near the train tracks so I didn’t go inside the car.
Oh, Nikes are horrible, bought a pair and I can't even wear them. Very narrow toe box.
I love the sound of rain on my van roof, when I was a child I would listen to the rain on the house roof at night, hmmm happy childhood memories
I like hiking in the rain, fewer people around! Haha
Another wonderful time with you
Clarification. Overnight parking deemed public property is now illegal.
Ive been wondering how tall are you. Im 6'1 I like your small van with gas being over $5. Thanks and best of luck
I’m under 6’
Beautiful
I have a friend that lives in Susanville, CA about two hours from Truckee. There’s 3 or 4 prisons in Susanville. Prisoners have escaped, doesn’t hurt to be mindful.
Have you ever done a video explaining how you came to do van life? I started watching your videos when you were about to leave Amazon in Seattle. I have a tendency to take a break from technology then come back and start watching again. I’m trying to catch up on all your videos.
I don’t have a video specific to why I started vanlife. But I do talk about various aspects in many videos.
@@StaticCamperVan K, I was just editing my post !
Thanks, I don’t spend much time dwelling on fear
@@StaticCamperVan I didn’t suggest you Sewell on it … just stated there’s 3 prisons in he area …
Now l am confused. Didn't you mention working at a job for the summer or do you mean simply digital work in your van? Also, dumb question but do you use a drone camera for the outdoor videos? (I just saw your recipe for chocolate mousse pie/cake, (99.9% certain it's a pie. Recipe looks good.) Also l am confused about parking near a police or sheriff's station. I live in a state that overnight parking is now considered an illegal offense. But l agree you should find the safest spots and you are obeying the do's and don'ts and yes, the parking signs in Truckee are also somewhat confusing. I guess we can agree, l am just a little confused tonight, ha, ha! Definitely time for me to call it a night! Enjoy your videos and great sense of humor and positive outlook. God Bless!
I don’t have a drone, just a phone.
Oh man you should go to mountain hardware and sports!! It's full of everything 😆. Also when your in the area you should check out Auburn Ca, go to the Foresthill Bridge, visit the local waters and Absolutely beautiful town. Plus lots of beautiful hiking.
I too have been " forced" to eat totally involuntary grilled cheese sandwiches. YUM !
Truckee is nice place, but you have to like snow & cold Winter too.
I live in a van, I move before the snow flies
Altras with there wide toe box are great if one has bunions.
👍🏼
Seems like a great town! So happy for the rain! That river is beautiful. 👍😎🇨🇦☕💦🐂
For those of you who don’t have grocery outlet… I’m sorry. lol 😂😂😂 love it
The Grocery Outlet in Truckee is still the best I’ve ever seen
I am watching this video way after the fact.....but, better late than never! A very enjoying video! ☺
I like oatly, but it's super expensive 😇
Yes, so is Half & Half
I enjoy watching your videos. Really you make my day.
Enjoyed our visit 🌄☕ ... Thx for sharing... 🙋🏻
Amazingly beautiful! Truckee in the summer. Bishop in the winter. Mammoth whenever.Yosemite got hammered bad.
😊😊😊
💜
Has anyone ever told you you look like John Stewart!?
Is that a celebrity or movie star?
Fantastic scenery
🦋
Great video, although it seemed to have ads every three minutes. I stayed the whole length though. Wish I could teleport between Moab and a place like Truckee.
I’m sorry to hear about the ads. Unfortunately I don’t have much control over them. I’m not surprised as UA-cam is my only source of entertainment and I’ve been seeing more ads, too.
@@StaticCamperVan I have been letting the ads play to help you out. Last week they had a hour of ads on one of your videos! I let it play out, then came back and skip the ads to watch it! I hope you got a bump in UA-cam payout!
@@wcurtin1962 hey Thanks! That’s above and beyond!
Bears roam Truckee. Nice place.
I passed through Truckee enroute to Sacramento and found the town to be gorgeous. However, while driving through there were several fires in the surrounding forests. While living at my sister's my plan is to explore all of northern California and find an acre or so of land for a small off grid structure. With a base to return to I can explore the Northwest, Idaho and Montana. Love your videos, Scott. Thanks for sharing.
Love burnt toast
what a video!
Keep on Truckin. Originated in Truckee?
Haha
I miss rain.
-Phoenix
Thanks!
I like Oatly in coffee as well as half and half , the only issue with h&h is it has casein in it which negates the antioxidant effect of coffee. . Dammed if you do dammed if you dont
Didn’t know that. I’m going to try heavy cream next.
good video Scott.. take care man ;-)
😉
Thanks Kenny
What a beautiful place so peaceful and tranquil thanks for sharing 😊😊
P.S you can always come to San Diego county and apply in temp agencies their always hiring you would definitely get something good luck to you 😊😊
Thanks. But I won’t ever be returning to San Diego.
@@StaticCamperVan Too expensive or something personal?
That chili looked very good ! 😋😋😋
Chili is becoming my staple meal
Hello Scott I was wondering if you notice at 18:53 the rock on your right side and facing your back is actually very funny, it look like a ghost rock smiling loll let me know what you think 😂😂😂
😱👻
@@StaticCamperVan I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I’m far back to the beginning but all I can say is that you have a good positive attitude and a way to turn thing into a giggle and I laugh out loud once an awhile, keep going the good work 👍✌️
Thanks Josée, I appreciate it
Darcey Farrow, where the Truckee runs through!
ALTRAS…best darn shoe ever!!!! I use to read water meters and averaged 50 miles a week..NO other shoe comes close to the durability & comfort became super important . Yes, they look like hobbit shoes but other shoes for the same cost that look “ cool “ got tossed quick when practicality and comfort. Believe me when I say, I have tried NUMEROUS shoes and these are hands down badass! SOCKS are equally important and I always wear SmartWool PhD’s…pricey but cheap socks suck & don’t last. We appreciate you taking the time and putting in the effort to make your vids!
Nice. Altras are the only shoe I ever want to wear. Thank you
I really like Darn Tough Socks. I used to only wear smart wool, but they were wearing out quickly on the heels. They are very similar to the PhDs, but last longer and made in Vermont!
Truckee is such a beautiful town. My best friend lives there so I’ve been lucky to have visited a number of times.
Oh how nice. Although I don’t want to visit in the winter!
Grilled cheese and chili…two of my favorite foods! Also, I finally googled polenta, so now at least I know what it is. 😅 I’ve put it on my bucket list to try it someday. I’m glad to hear that you listen to your intuition…always a good idea! 👍
Beautiful sounds of rain 🌧️
u should get food stamps -- and Prozac!!
Love your music
😂
I love to make a nice buttery grilled pepper Jack cheese sandwich with jalapeño. I drink some mushroom coffee with plant based caramel milk.
Stay on the ponderosa
That was a good show
I love my Oatly but if it cost what it does in the US, I would get of it faster than you can say oats. You guys pay 70-170% more for your Oatly, plus sales tax on top, than we do in Sweden. Have no idea of who in the food-supply-chain is ripping you off but you are def getting ripped off. Outrageous!!! Loved your content btw, as always. Stay happy 😊😊😊
