My name is David and with my dog Lefty we live full time in our converted ambulance RV. I made this change to my 'standard' life and you can too! Like, subscribe and comment - Lefty would appreciate it - he wants the adventures to keep coming!
The Campulance is a 2002 Ford E450 Marque Commando 164 Class III ambulance powered by the Ford 7.3l Powerstroke diesel engine and a 4 speed transmission. Lefty is a 65lb Staffordshire Terrier (best I can tell) that came from the Verona Street Animal Shelter in March 2014 at the age of 9 months. We have been living full time in the campulance since July 2019.
I started watching your videos a few days ago because I watched a more recent video about you helping a stranded woman in her 70s who was having trouble hitching up her trailer. At least, I believe it was a more recent video. So, I went to your playlists and started watching your very first videos and I swear I said to myself, "This guy is a completely different person." Nomadic life looks good on your and I hope that now, Saturday evening, October 30th, 2021, you are feeling even more "at home" in your rig. I am loving your videos and hello to Lefty, too! =^..^= Sam.
Thank you for that Sam :)
Glad you have realized that any "nasty" commenters have severe personal problems and the best tact is to ignore them completely....they hate that the most. 🙂
It has become real easy to skip past them :))
My dog makes my life better. I love Lefty; he's so cool.
I can't see why anyone would leave a rude or nasty comment on your channel. You are a very nice and caring person who has this channel to help others. Those kind of people are bitter and don't have a life, so they envy yours. I wish you all the luck in your channel, and keep doing what you love best. " living the good life"!....Don't worry be happy :0)
Thank you for that comment :)
Some people are just angry. Don't pay attention to them. We love watching you. So relaxing.
yes I agree ignoring the trolls and not feeding them, but still its really sad for them
Great Great Great video and perspectives!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you :)
10 years ago I thought I rescued a dog left at a bus stop! Turns out-she has rescued me. I could not have survived the Covid isulation without her. Thank you Jesus for answered prayers 🙏🌎✌️💞🐾
That is so great :)))
I agree with the others, you have unwound and will continue to do so. One of these days, we might even hear you start laughing out loud more. 😉. It was fun to see Lefty playing in the park with your daughter’s dog, his 4 legged BFF. Those leaving hateful remarks are probably trolls, hopefully not a subscriber!
Thank you Deb :)
Oh my goodness Lefty’s belly is everything!!! That is one happy boy. Lefty 💜
I loved the AZ to NY drive. It was my only “ on the road” video so far but it’s my favorite even more than saving old ladies. ( I can say that cuz I am one). I’m so happy for you and your detox from corporate America. You should probably change this title to how my “Campulance” saved my life.
Right! I think it has :)
Outta the rut..into the groove !..livin' the life !..💖..
Great suggestions.
I just had a bad flash back to when I worked for a company that did the internal rating crap. It was horrible. I am glad you are able to disregard the trolls on your channel. Your videos are informative and you have a cute pupper, so just let the haters hate and keep doing what you do.
Thanks Melissa. Loved the employee feedback thing too huh??
@@TheCampulanceMan yeah, they made the whole team meet together and our boss would read them out loud. It was a great team so we ended up turning it into a pot luck and stopped paying much attention to the evals. Happy to say I am in a much better place now!
Dave, always be thankful for what you have and forget the bad comments. You are a good man.
David...I have watched you change emotionally as you have let the crap slide off dude! I just want you to know that I look forward to your videos! The world needs more people like you to put yourself out there and we thank you for doing so!!! Ignore the haters and rock on!
Thanks Robert I appreciate that
To summit up when I was younger another owner operator has said to me no your truck. And course once I bought my first truck I got to know it and now I feel very comfortable about the mechanics of it how it’s running
So the more you do it into your campulance you got to know your truck and that makes a world of difference. Takes a lot of fear out of the unknown
Yes, exactly! Working on it myself has made me way calmer about it!
You have gotten much more calm and maybe Lefty too?
Totally agree, Lefty reflects the calm.
Funny, I noticed it in him, but not myself till I looked at old vids and stopped to think about it :)))
I just watched this video again. When I saw it two years ago, I started thinking that my pup and I could actually get to travel and really relax. I looked at all the different types of RVs and for my needs at this time decided to buy a travel trailer (and truck). Jack and I started our journey in April of 2023 and in the seven months since have put 7,500 miles on our trailer. We traveled from Maryland across the country to explore the Pacific NorthWest for several months and visit with family. We are wintering in Arizona in an RV park and learning how to really relax. Thanks David (and Lefty) for showing how even an old guy (me) with his dog can have a great life on the road.
Thanks for sharing such great videos and staying positive. I'm getting ready to do a week long trip to Northern Michigan with my Blue Knights group. It's going to be different being in the ambulance instead of on the bike, but I'm looking forward to the adventure.
Have a great trip!!
Thank you good one.
I am happy to hear about your change and how the mobile live has helped you relax and enjoy your life more with Lefty.👍
I think you're doing great. You make it look great. Without suger coating it. Especially that box you live in. Fantastic.
Love, love, love, this vlog...one of my favorite quotes is "You will never get it done and you will never get it wrong." I probably have only been watching your channel for a year but you have inspired me to watch your older videos. That shot of Lefty sleeping melted my heart because he looked so content with his circumstances. And always remember that self-exploration can be as satisfying as the rest of your journey. As I vacillate between go or stay this video was definitely encouragement to go :).
I watch him sleep down below my bed - its a good contemplative moment for me:) Thank you for your words Cheral.
me too.... funny how that works.... about shall I go or shall I stay, ive been to 40 different countries but at 65 i have some fear of travelling solo in a van..
Love this! Hoping the stress of the rat race will reveal a better me when I get out full time. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
The difference in you is HUGE !! Any nasty comments are from folks that are JELLIOUS of what you have, glad they are not getting to you !! AND 10 K WOO HOO !!! ALL you !!! CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!!! Seeing Lefty in the windshield is pure happiness coming home in his home !!
Great video.
Don’t let negative people infect your life. Do what is in your heart. You are simply sharing your life. You are not asking others to guide you. Keep doing you! You are living the life you want & Lefty is totally digging it too.
Thank you Glenn.
Awesome video!!
I can definitely see the change in you! My Dually says "HI" to Lefty. 😁
Lefty says hi Dually!!
Yep I have noticed you have chilled out big time since I first started watching. Very good for your whole psychy and body! You look so happy now and Lefty loves it too! What a dog's life you both lead now!
Congratulations David on your accomplishment on learning how to let go of stress!!! You and Lefty look so relaxed as you share your life together.
Enjoyed camping in the same area as you and Lefty last winter! You are both awesome! Glad you had a great trip home! Hope to see you next season... Enjoy home!
Thank you Bill
I drove OTR for "a few years" and nomad living does change you. What is important to you NOW is different from what is important to those settled down.
Your accumulating memories rather than "stuff".
Keep moving. You're doing fine....
Great comment thank you :)
As someone who just started watching your videos from the beginning ... its nice to see you more relaxed in the later videos. The change is very noticeable. You smile and laugh a lot more. Even Lefty seems less stressed! Keep enjoying life and thanks for taking us along with you!
David please do not let the ugly comments affect your life. There is always people that are unhappy with their life for whatever reason and they try to pull others down with them. You are an great help to everyone on your videos and we enjoy watching them. Take care of yourself and Lefty!!!
Thank you for that comment Morris. I've been able to focus on the positive that I get from sharing videos and disregard the negative... it took some time to do...
Lefty is a great buddy to have!!
I don't know if I'd be out here without him ...
Having a good doggy in your life is one of the best things ever. Safe travels to you and Lefty. I look forward to following your adventures.
Thank you Matt
Hey David..I feel the same way with my van. I can visit friends or back here at my Mom's..but the van is my home. Glad you're more relaxed now ! Since I've been on the road..I almost always drive in the right lane..not in any hurry to get anywhere. A lot of it has to do with having your home with you.. wherever you are 😁 Don't let the nasty commenters get to you..that's what they're trying to do. Ignore them and they'll go away 👍
Thanks Paul - I pull a lot from your input because of your experience! Appreciated brother :)
You both look so relaxed, lefty is having fun
People need to keep their opinions to themselves if it isn't nice! You share a great deal of heart felt information about yourself. Kudos to you! Love the ambulance and Lefty!
Thank you Starr :))
Thats how I am feeling because I slept in my SUV Dodge Journey as I waited for thus apartment to be ready to move into. Thats exactly how I feel. Funny how these things just grab you without knowing about it. I am thinking very seriously of letting this apartment go and setting up the Journey to living in it. I would not be the first eoman to do this
Yep, it changes you. I lived in my RV for 4 years and when I started back in 2016 I drove to Wakefield Misouri to see my son and grand children, stayed with them for a couple of years living in my RV on the property. Your righ becomes your home on wheels you can leave and go where ever you want no packing schedule for a flight out of a airport motel reservation none of that stuff. Just food, gas, food for the animals and you, no rent, no electric, etc Regular maintence on the rig tires every 2-3 years. Glad to see you are better ajusted and look forward to traveling. Take care I'm watching your Fleet Fixes & Repair videos. 3nd one done. Stay safe and as always, "Enjoy The Adventure." I did 🤠👍✌
Thank you Richard. It sure took me a while to unwind and I can say that today I'm a lot better feeling than I used to be :)
About to do an 1800 mile trip to Long Island for 2 weeks. I really enjoy the drive up there, minus the GW bridge and LIE.
I firmly believe that completely ignoring a-holes in the comments is crucial. I know that's easier said than done, but it's important. It makes it look like you're thin-skinned. Lots of UA-camrs make this mistake.
Envy you Florida Man, the north and south forks are great this time of year. Took my kids there every summer till they went off to college.
I just discovered you channel the other day I am so happy for you and wishing you many more miles
Thank you Brian
It's so nice that you are becoming your true self. There are those that never have that gift. I believe those are the nasty ones. Blessings always for you, lefty n your family.
Thank you for that Elaine :)
Thank youfor sharing David.
Never worry about the negativity. Always push that aside and focus on positive. You’ll be happier and you definitely will move forward in life. People with negative comments. Or just people they’re unhappy with himself. In any of your videos I didn’t see any reason to say anything negative. If I disagreed I just didn’t react to it. We all have our own ideas, and likes 👍 .
OMG totally relate to the angry driving! Once on the way to work and idiot drivers all around me making me late I had a verbal hissy fit .... A very LOUD hissy fit and the girl in the car beside me told me that " it's okay, everything will be okay" very calm and made me realize what a nutjob I was being!! Can't wait to get some of that driving ZEN and LIFE zen you're achieving.
Peace and hugs,
Erika
I was a nut driver!!! I'm so not anymore :))
Awww, David, that’s so wonderful that you have seen a change in yourself.. I also, since retiring in 2018, have seen a change as well. The pressure and the stress of an everyday job ended the day I left full-time employment. You are doing a great job with yr channel and I always look forward to yr videos! ❤️
Who else is giving a "thumbs up" THEN watching the video? Thing about nasty people and their nasty comments, they are simply projecting -- they really hate themselves, and they make hateful comments because their life is pathetic and in you they see an ideal that cannot achieve because they are shit. When you read a nasty comment, smile, that's someone from the other end of the happiness spectrum letting you know you are doing it right! It's a whacky sort of kind of almost compliment.
Thats a good way to look at it... winning!
I am in the process of building out a van, but after watching some of your videos you've got me "ambulance dreaming "
Sorry bout that... :) I've heard that's happened to a bunch of folks!
Your living the chill life with your best friend lefty😎🐶💕
We're both loving it! Thank you Michelle
I love your channel. Ignore the haters, people wish they had your life. I suffer from anxiety and depression and these videos help me so much. Thank you! Keep doing what you do. It's a Purpose!
Thank you! I am happy that the videos are enjoyable :)
Awe so happy for you! Hugs to you and Lefty. Hope to see you this winter!
Hi Tara!!! We'll see you for sure :)
Awesome share. Thank you. Since I got my van, I’m in slow mode too. It feels great.
Right! I'm turnin in to a different person :)
Never let them get you down!
Wishing you a blessed journey.🚑
Thank you for sharing
Great video! I really needed to hear this today! Thank you, take care and stay safe! Love your fur baby! 👍🤗🐾🐾
Thank you for watching with us :)
Thanks for the honest video. I just retired and now its time to relax and unwind. This video helps. My wife and I have a Roadtrek that we are working on to travel the country.
Thank you :)
So happy to hear of your personal growth 🙌🏼 Also, I love how your buddy was so excited when you guys pulled up to your mom’s house and he saw and heard your daughter call his name 🤗 Unforgettable love ❤️
Thank you Dorothy
You are a inspiration
I think you and Lefty are awesome ! I am learning a lot from you and I appreciate it. I can’t wait to get one each of your stickers ! I love your honesty. Thank you, I even hope I get a chance to meet you both one day🤗
Thank you Darlene:) See you on the road! I do have a small # of stickers available still if you're interested.:)
Hey Campulance man, hi!
I retired January 2020, best thing I could have done! Changed my life for the best. No rushing, no worries about
What people say or do or think of me! It’s wonderful! Be a good person, be respectful and be mindful Of life.
Enjoy your new found peace! I watch your channel your a good man! Ignore the haters! Travel on and enjoy! 🙂
Thank you :)
Finally took my maiden voyage to ND. Short 4 hour drive spending about a week in the ambulance. It's great. Diesel heater came in handy. Got down to 38 one night. Loving it.
Excellent! Gotta love the diesel heater, right!
@@TheCampulanceMan it was 34 this morning. Cozy in here like home :)
Awesome Sauce!!! I love your calmness....it makes me calm.
Thanks for deeper moments with you... Cheers!
I love how you have seen the changes in your abilities to go with the flow, I call it looking outside of yourself looking inwards to see how you are doing. I like you had a fairly stressful job as a Project HVAC Coordinator for many years at a very large High Tech manufacturer and loved it until people were seeing that I was good at my job so they loaded up their work on me and I always had about 300 projects until I got fed up. I was waking up at 1-2 am every night thinking about work so that's when I decided to retire and never looked back. So much happier!!!
Ugh I remember many nights like that...
David, What it all cum's down to is, "you have found your comfort zone in life". It takes everyone different times to come to this realization in one's journey in life. All the other events & accomplishments you have made have now all cum full circle & that is GREAT! No one is built the same way, we may have similar likes & dislikes, but when it all cum's down to the reality of life, we are all unique & special & gifted in our own ways. For myself I live for the comradery & sincere friendship with another. Throughout my whole Professional Life, I was in the Publics Eye & thousands of other people & when I was not, I was a very grounded person & only enjoy the Comradery & Sincere Friendship w/Another. For past 4+ years been flying Solo. I yearn for the day this all changes. Like you David, you went about get'n all your Ducks in a Row & chosen UA-cam to be your extended Personality & Outreach In Life & it cum's with a Return in many different factors, Acceptance, Income, Rewards & I am Somebody, that have become your Comfort Zone with Lefty. I might say is also a Great Mascot for your UA-cam Channel. Yes Pup's Are UnConditional Love 24/7 Always. With your UA-cam Channel you are in Control of your life & what you share & experience. You can turn the Camera On & Record & you can turn the Camera Off. You edit what you want seen & heard & what you don't want seen & heard. How I have always looked at & lived life, "There are 2 Consenting Adults & there are Criminals In Life". There are others who enjoy Giving Pleasure & others who enjoy being Pleasured. The make up of the Sociological Factors in the Human Life Experience are 10 fold. When we find what best is our Comfort Zone we feel Grounded with Ease in Living. You give great reality, mechanical issues are a given to happen. There are going to be Negative People. Some people get thorns under our nails but thankfully there are Tweezers to remove them & the next day all gone. You & Lefty are always Welcomed to cum to my Mountain & Homestead 24/7. Plug into the Electrical & Internet Network & Enjoy all the Nature has to offer. Always, Tommy :-)
Thanks brother :)
Hello my friend, I can totally relate with you on this specific issue. I was in the same predicament about 2 years + ago. I was working for corporate America Insurance Industry. Before the beginning of many changes, redesign I, II, III, Reorganization I, II, III, IV and so on we were just doing fine, plugging along and worked my 8 hours a day management job. About 25 years later, they started seeking CEO replacements outside of the company. Next thing we know, we were going through tremendous change, less employees, customer satisfaction survey, employee satisfaction survey and so on. It was horrendous, stressful, working 16 hours a day, high blood pressure, rush, rush, rush…etc. Snapping on my kids and sometimes I don’t even have the time to have conversation with my wife. In my case I had to reapply for my job over a dozen times. We really just didn’t have any directions what so ever. Our manager before I decided to retire was just not a very pleasant HUMAN to work with. Sometimes, I would get a phone call very early in the morning and she was just tearing me apart. Before she gets off the phone she will asked me questions about our conversation on how it went, what I have learned to improved, how to deliver it to my people on so on. Well my very best friend decided to retire after 42 years. In my case, I thought I am not ready to retire as of yet but when I started losing my memory due to the horrendous environment and unfriendly management/executives, I decided to listen to my best friend and retired after 43 years. I told my wife that I just retired and let’s get out of this state. Moved to another state, retired, recuperated from my lost of memory AND MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS 100% BETTER, have time with my family, children and grandchildren. I am a happy camper and I am doing what I like best. For the people that are still in corporate America . . . Let me tell you something . . . There’s a good life after leaving them corporates. I am a good example of of it and I thanked my best friend for convincing me that I will able to afford to retire and I am just going to be fine. Take care and always be safe my friend. Sorry about for the long commentary. Retired from Pahrump Nevada.
It's amazing how we can heal after retirement. Thank goodness we did!
Hi David, I enjoyed this video and how open you were about your life changing. I am just now starting my journey to the nomad life. I have found your channel a real blessing. Thank you sir.
Thank you Tim and I'm happy you're enjoying the channel :)
So awesome to hear your experience david. I am so happy for you. And your channel is growing so fast.👍👍👍
Thank you!!
This was a very enjoyable and relaxed video. I enjoyed hearing how this lifestyle has had a huge calming effect to your entire life and outlook. Have fun in NY.
A month ago I had no idea who you were so I've seen a variety of videos of yours from the last 3 years this month. You have definitely relaxed and that's a good thing. Too much daily grind makes us too tense.
Thank you! It took me time to drop the old me and start over :)
Keep the great videos coming .
I don’t comment often but I remember finding you fairly early in your build. It has been great following your journey and seeing you and your channel grow. Keep it up!
Thank you for being here with us and for your comment :)
What I find out by watching all these UA-cam videos i subscribe to is all types of people who are doing there own thing. Keep living your life out on the road because those people like me live vicariously through your daily lives. It is nice to know living in a space for 7 months and going to a house like you are visiting is a huge house that your not accustom to. It is nice to know you crave what your used to structure wise. Glad I joined your channel.
I'm glad you're enjoying the vids - I'll keep making them!!
Don't let the bastards get ya down. So happy that you are getting so zen.
Thank you Cindy :)
You are lucky, you have a beautiful dog. Same here, she's sleeping right next to me now.
Something so satisfying about a sleeping dog... makes me feel like I'm doing my job when Lefty crashes out.
You are less than 10 years younger than me, but we both come from a similar life pressure. Glad you are getting to see what has been wrong. I was an Intelligence support for Maggie Thatcher and spoke frequently with Ronald Regan and Gorbachev. I have fought many wars and mission planned many nuclear airstrikes. So high stress, been there. But a job there was no possibility of talking things through. Too easy to think you are doing good only to find you are not living at all. Yep I have PTSD, but mental illness happens to many of us. Loving yourself and allowing time to find its own pace. Letting go has to be rediscovered. Be honest to yourself, be happy, be safe.
Thank you for sharing that :)
Dave great segment. I was checking out your battery and terminals. I have a 2011 F-350 SUPERDUTY 6.7 That I special ordered new. I replaced the batteries recently and I went with a battery that I've been using for a long time you probably have heard about it it's called Optima. They make 3 different types depending on your application. They are gel batteries unlike the common flooded lead acid batteries, these batteries can be mounted anywhere at any angle. They are not affected by heat and cold like lead acid and they can take extreme impact vehicle abuse. The battery could be perfectly dead in the dead of winter for two days, let's say from leaving your headlights on and you could jump it and fire up your vehicle and it will be fully charged, in most cases in less than 30 minutes. They even have a battery that is for vehicles that sit and are not running but have a heavy current draw. I had an Optima last me 15 years, used in a police package Crown Vic. My son had one in his Thunderbird. In the dead of winter, 20 degrees, he went home at 2:30 in the afternoon, he left a set of external halogen fog lights on, when he came out the next morning, before the sun came up, he couldn't understand why a certain part of the yard was all orange. He round the corner and realized he left his lights on. He got into the vehicle, shut the lights off and it fired right up. There is something to be said for a great battery and terminals. Just thought I would share that with you. Keep your outstanding adventures going and we will follow along as best as we can. All our best Kevin and Julia, Port Republic, Maryland
Congrats! Great memories:)
Thank you !
Those survey companies should be shut down!!! That crap has destroyed the employee/customer relationship. The place I worked (quitting this week) always had a great team, great work environment, patients were happy for the most part. We got raises every year and complaints were handled face to face with management. THEN they started this customer service 'survey' which asked questions that were blatantly baiting people to find fault with everything from the way the place smelled to how hard it was to find our location!! If we did not get an "excellent" on any and all questions, it was a negative, or a big fat ZERO. EVERYONES raises are based on this, so if someone gave the person in the other department a 1, everyone is affected! What happened to just calling management and talking to them if someone treated you badly? I refuse to complete any survey of any kind, because it affects people that have nothing to do with any negative thing that might have happened. I am glad your company shut that down, and I hope that all the others figure it out and do the same. on the flip side, I am retiring in two days and I hope to see ya on the road maybe...
Congratulations on your retirement!!!!!!!
Happy to hear that you have mellowed down. Sorry though that some people have to leave such horrible posts. I dont understand people like that and why they do that to others. That is the one thing that hesitates me on possibly starting a youtube channel myself, the haters. Ty for being who you are and sharing your journey.
I know, I've learned to let it go... :) thank you for being with us Corinna
You have it made with your lifestyle and Lefty as as true companion - Love your videos, keep them coming!
So happy for you! Peace!
Thanks brother!
Hello David, I've followed you for a few years. First saw you on CheapRVLiving. I don't comment anywhere very often but I've certainly seen the changes in you. Most strikingly the in this video, compare your forehead in the 2:10 to 2:14 sequence to where you are now. So glad that you've found your peace.
Thank you for your comment. It's been a journey for me... teaching myself to enjoy every day and every moment. It took time for me to let go.
You are the expert and the best judge of your life. I appreciate what you share with us because it helps me figure things out too (really appreciate the tips on keeping your rig - and your mental attitude solid and tidy.
Thank you for watching with us :)
Subscribed to your channel a few weeks ago, I really enjoy watching your videos 😊 This was a great one, it actually helped me 😊 Thank you
Thank you for watching us Carmel :)
I love listening to your channel. Sounds to me like you are a caring, conscientious and competent person with a strong work ethic. I would label that previous work life as too much stress. I am a nurse in health care and cannot stand the stress or being treated unfairly. Glad you got out!!!! I am in Canada and hope to hit the road soon with all my 4legged loved ones. It takes a lot of courage to sell and change your trajectory. Onwards we go!!
I'm hoping you and your gang can be rolling soon :) Thank you for watching us !!
what a great share, and the more I see of lefty, well! he's just too darn adorable, my happy place is the beach, or rivers any place where there's water, I want to take my mini van and do a hot spring tour in bc, have you thought of a book, you have a way of sharing on a gut level, where as some people need help with that, and I know about stress I have a high needs special needs son who is amazing, being in nature is so healing but I think it takes time, sometimes along time to deprogram ourselves, we live in a difficult world I believe, people like you and bob my hero`s sharing your humanity, and your obvious love of animals ,keep on sharing with us..thanx..kaz
Thank you Karen - it has taken time for me to really unplug.
I'm glad to hear you have chilled. I remember that same stress to well.
My 2 cents is to scroll past the negative comments. And if you are going to be camping in the desert get you dogs rattlesnake diversion classes. They are worth every penny.
I'll look at that training, I hadn't heard of it. Thank you :)
Good stuff!
You’re a very likeable guy and I appreciate your channel and you! Thank you.
Thank you for that!
Great video! Thanks for letting yourself be vulnerable and sharing your experience. S age travels!
Thank you Terri
I was in a similar career it was very stressful. I was injured a few years back on the job in a freak accident that resulted me being 100% disabled. The first couple years it was hard to except. As Americans we attach our identity and self worth to what we do for a living which I never knew about myself . This last two years I realized my career didn’t define who I am . I’ve excepted the new me and started seeing of blessings of my new life. I’ve always been interested in the nomad life style for many years . I’m hoping in the future to be able to something similar to you if I can do it . If not I may look into a nomadic life traveling outside the country after things open back up. I like following your videos it gives me something to reach fore in the future . I hope the positive comments out weight bad comments. From what read they do . Safe travels to you and lefty.
Thank you Dave
Just started watching your videos recently. Really enjoying them. Lefty seems to be a bit of a funny character…lol
This video was especially nice to see, glad to realize that this lifestyle can certainly drop your stress levels from everyday life.
Looking forward to catching up on more of your other videos. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Peter for joining us:)
Hey, I love your journey and story. Please don't let the naysayers get you down. Find your own bliss and ignore the negative people.
A very good video and interesting what you had to say.
Take great care and best wishes from England.
Thank you! Cheers!
Over the last couple of weeks I've gone back to the beginning of this channel and I noticed every few videos you did seem more and more relaxed and taking things in stride. I've enjoyed venturing along with you and Lefty, keep it up. As far as the trolls, there gonna be there and try to detract from an otherwise enjoyable adventure. Keep that "duck's back" attitude and let it roll off. I hope to meet you on the road when I finally have a chance to get out there.
Thanks Dennis - I appreciate that.
Your build has inspired me (as well as 2 others on UA-cam) to pursue the dream of having my own Ambulance camper. Please dont let the anonymous cowards who take time out of their day to spew ignorance get to you man. I thank you for this page.
great info
