I'm an only child. I'm in my mid 30s and save for my closest of close friends and one friend who I've known for so long, I call him my brother, I'm exceptionally alone. My parents were pretty normal in that they planted themselves in one spot and didn't move, so I didn't move..and I've been stuck in my hometown and haven't seen anywhere else except when I go out of town for like a day or two, and it has been driving me crazy so much to the point where I've had several breakdowns and I've been looking for a cure to this emptiness I've been feeling for a long time now and I think I've finally found it. I've looked up several channels and articles on this topic and yours in one that really gives me inspiration to make this happen. Keep on man, you're a living inspiration.
I recently subscribed and now I am going back to your older videos and relishing in how far you have come in the past seven years. I love your channel, the way you treat your kitties, and the overall wonderful and fun soul that you are.
I love that you keep your kitty on a leash. That is so me. Like I don't want to keep him indoors if he is an outdoor cat, but I'm also worried for his safety. So he only goes out when I am supervising him. I haven't trained him to use a leash yet, but he responds to my voice when I call him and he doesn't stray far from the house.
It was the age of Aquarius and I was a lot like you moving constantly all over, real wanderlust, the only one in my family. Then I had a child and when they become school age sorry you're stuck!! Although I did move twice after my daughter was born. I eventually wound up planting myself over 1500 miles away from my original home. Kids will get you every time, you will do things against even your own nature if it betters their life. That is why I love watching you I loved that life! Now, kids are all grown up and I have MS and after watching you I bought an RV the wheels will be my new legs, Thank you, you are an inspiration.
both my wife debbie and i enjoy your videos and love your cat and the way you treat it.look forward to many more .safe journeys.dave and deb .new zealand
Your videos are so refreshing and addicting lol. I have a van and I want to do this, it's just AC and dry camping is the biggest hurdle I have to overcome.
Totally agree Eric. It`s either in your blood or it isn`t. I`ve been "grounded" for quite a while now, raising a family, but always identify more with gypsy travel than living and amassing things in a box. Good thing is, I can sell my house and buy an RV when I need to. And, hopefully, just like you, never look back with regret.
You'd have been a pioneer in the early days of the Americas. In fact, humans are nomadic by nature. It's how we got to evolve into the varying cultures and races! Modern people stuck in the same spot, worried about their property values, their toys, and unwilling to understand a roaming life are really the odd ones out in history.
I'm a truck driver and this is what we call a Pre-Trip. I have also made it a habit of doing a thorough walk around every time I stop. Rest area, truck stop, gas stations... People hate Truckers. To be honest, Truckers hate "Steering wheel Holders" and for these reasons, I check my rig. I am also a van dweller and I know that people also hate us. Always, ALWAYS check your rig out BEFORE you leave your overnight/overday sleeping area. Humans can be mean. Take care and be safe! We got to look out for each other.
Eric, I just ran across your video today. I was very interested in the outside check-off of the van. Have you ever made a checklist and is it available online? Is there anything else you would add? I'm a 67 year old female and am always looking for ways to keep myself safe and on the road. Thanks for anything you may pass along. Happy trails.
we really enjoy your videos, they are interesting and informative. we have been working toward road living for 5 years now..seems our friends keep beating us to the road. we just bought a 1990 Ford econoline class B van and after inspection and registering it, on the maiden vogage around town ride, it blew all it's transmission fluid out and once again AAA tow home. this is now our 3rd attempt with a motorized vehicle with unbelievable but the same outcome. we do have a pick up truck and 1968 holiday rambler travel trailer we camp in.- we watch your videos to keep us motivated to what our ultimate goal is....living on the road...thanks again, keep the videos coming and be safe. oh, yes, I just love Jax. also kudos to you for having Jax and taking care of him so well.
Great pointers on checking your engine fluids frequently and to be sure nothing was tampered with. About food born illness, 11:28 You might read up on "Salmonella and Food" at CDC. (Sanitizing with diluted bleach, etc.) ...and hoping people check their propane hoses, connections, and valves regularly with soapy water regarding leak detection! Overall, great video!
I usually will place boiling water to my thermos let it sit for 5 min and when I go to pour the coffee in the thermos is pre heated. Eggs DON'T have to be refrigerated if you eat them inside a week. Another thing you might try is get a funnel and crack your eggs into a container you can keep a lot of eggs that way and refrigerated. Sure you got to get another container if you use a water bottle it would work good.
+Habitat for Herbivores Yeah, I bought a transit connect cargo van recently. I put almost 3k miles on it before I even got my permanent tags. It's probably too small for most people, but works perfect for me. It's fun to travel around and camp out of it. However, it is also nice to have a home to come back to after a week or so. I live in Colorado so I can branch out in multiple directions:)
I just wanted to see some of your past videos....sometimes Eric, you make me laugh so much! I really like you guy! "...keeps your face baby fresh!" lol
I can relate to what your saying. Love my RV. But when you have kids, having a permanent place is definitely better, But when you don’t RVing is amazing. Thank You I appreciate your time and your work. God Bless.
That has got to be one of the coolest cats out there, and big he is a big boy not fat just a hefty kitty...... I understand Wanderlust, I also get owing something you can call yours.
Eric, you do know that you need to check the transmission oil when the engine is running? Otherwise it can be quart or two low and you wouldn't know... Came across your channel week or two ago - watching with a great interest - thanks for sharing your adventures with us! Your work makes quite an impact, I think. People need something to counterweight the consumerism which is everywhere around us.
i lived in a cargo van in brookyln for 2 years. for some reason, the van looks more appealing to me than an RV. I still think it's "cool", cooler than an RV even at 34 years old now ;)
a thought on home/property "ownership": No one ever truly owns a house or land... oh sure, we pay for it, but what you're actually paying for is the right to pay taxes on that property. Neglect the taxes, and you'll quickly find yourself nomadic (or homeless all together). My annual taxes are 3 times what the original mortgage payment was! ($828/yr payments vs $2400/yr TAX). Granted, this was originally purchased in 1972, but still. I can see taxes for a few years perhaps, but when you keep a place for 40+ years, its been bought several times over in taxes alone. Don't get me started on states that luxury tax vehicles... but I digress
I seriously got teary-eyed watching the beginning of this video (not the intro, no offense). I used to travel from Arkansas (my home state) to Durango, CO, for work and life. I miss those sunrises and sunsets, and that reminded me of those years traveling to and from! Damn. I've got to get back out on the road. Thanks, again, for the great videos!
Hi Eric...not my call, but I liked it better when you were in this van (I think it is called "Bertha") or Vana White. Smaller is nimbler. Your large Class A has had some issues (as most vehicles do). I wish you had stayed small. But...not my call and I am happy if you are. Happy New Year 2022!!🎉
I'd love to try this & up till now have been saying I can't because of my cat. But low & behold he can come with me. Great inspiration. I'm also a great believer in using a thermos so it was very pleasing to see one being used. Thanks for sharing. This was the first of your videos I've watched but plan to enjoy more of your journey.
Don't worry what people think Eric, its none of their business, as long as you and Jax is happy that's what counts, if my health was better and I wasn't on oxygen, I would love to live like that, the way you and the rest of those RV'ers.
Hi Eric I have been watching all your videos. I would love to travel like this there's so much to see.But being a girl (57) kinda worries me. What kind of paint is on the Van? It likes like rhino liner sprayed on it looks good
I never in my life meet anyone like me I truly feel the same way you do and been living like this all my life and I'm happy with it other people like my family are the ones that feel I need too be rooted like them but I'm happy
hey , i understand what you say about moving often because i feel the same way too but unfortunately i live in a house but doesn't stop me , i walk everyday and all day long in the week-ends . so i manage to just sleep in it at night , great vids keep it up man love from here.
I truly dig your self-confident-at-peace attitude. I rarely see that in young people today. I was slurping some soup when you said, "... wait a minute, Eric, there's no wheels on that house", nearly blew soup all over the place. Great video, thanks for the tips too. ciao.
Just got to the end of your vid. I get it. My family and friends do not understand that I PANIC if I can leave. I panic when, like yesterday my daughter begged me to move to Colorado and rent her second bedroom for $500. I am panicking! She said she is all alone and needs her Mom. I'm trying to figure out how I can be there with her but still live in my van. I'm a truck driver, warehouse inventory/stocker. I would like to try Security Officer overnights. But, I have to live out of a vehicle. There is no compromising on that.
Sounds like you should consider becoming a owner operator truck driver. The only issue you might run into is it requires you having an address and work statements to get a CDL. A home on wheels that makes you money
aw, your cat looks like our big tabby Toby, he also walked on a leash--he had to, bec we traveled cross country 6 times and no way he could be let out of the car alone to do his business. people would stare and point at him and ask all sorts of questions because they never saw a cat being walked on a leash like a dog.
I hate that burnt coffee smell and taste myself. I turn my burner off asap and if I want another cup later I microwave. I'm not on the road, but someday I hope to be :)
Wow what a beautiful life, when i was young i was an alcoholic and wasted my life only into my 50s did i woke up i was very stupid it maybe because i didn't have a father or brothers to give me advise and i learned the hard way.
you have a great life as far as I am concerned. would love to try it but been tied down for to long gets his veggies with his pizza if he wants them but u need them for digestion
Nomadic life is more normal than settled. I have long thought that hunter gatherers live in the Garden of Eden and were tossed out to farm/city life. I have five acres, but it is a food forest. As close to hunter/gatherer as property ownership gets. There are about 230 native edible plants in each state, you could easily pick greens for your daily meals.
Hi Eric may I ask a silly question. I'm very new to RV Life my caravan is getting built. In regards to the water tank. Is there any chance the drinking water can become stagnant? Or does the water get oxygen in the tank? Thanks in advance think your channel is really great. You do great work. You have improved alot in your presentation,editing,choose of music Thank you for your hard work
Hey Eric. I have been watching your videos since you were in your 1st RV. The van seems to suit you much better! You mentioned you no longer have an oven. Check out the RoadPro 12v oven on Amazon - it looks like a worker's lunch box...I did read somewhere that they go on sale often at truck stops. I am old enough to be your mother, but enjoy watching you and JAX. I should be in a van and on the road within a year. Maybe we can all (me, my dog and my cat) say hello at a RTR.
I enjoyed your video and admire your free spirit but hey, how do you finance your lifestyle? What are you living on? Old vans need caring for and servicing them costs money. You benefit from cheap gas prices (unlike us, your UK cousins), however spares can be pricey, tyres, batteries etc. to say nothing of insurance costs. so, whats the secret?
hi,do you no what the coating is on the outside of your van,does it help with sound proofing and insulation?havent seen it here in new zealand.like it.thanks from dave
I don't want to get into the frackus about whether or not Nomadic is a shiester or not...but I do see others who are seemingly, and simply just plain jealous of him, or of his accomplishments. I'm sure Eric is not a perfect human specimen just as in, "me neither". But I do see Eric out there doing it...not just talking about it, not saying "Me too, Me too" but he's actually made a lifestyle out of it and he put's it into bite sized morsels for all of us to see. Lets face it, we'd all like to do what Eric does full time. I"m a little jealous myself, but to badmouth him becasue he's successful at it??? Uncool, and it just makes the haters look even worse. I've traveled in my van for a week or two at a time quite a few times, but continuously for a year??? I have too much tying me down to do that. Just becasue Eric has cut those strings that hold one in that position does not make him a bad person. I've read about him supposively ripping off the elderly couple with the RV purchase...(BUYERS SHOULD ALWAYS BEWARE) This is the hard part. Does Nomadic Fanatic go around just ripping off people and laughing about it? If so, shame on him. If not then shame on all the haters. Anyway, keep 'em coming Eric...I'd not want to participate with a a bunch of wanna'be's either as in a Florida Van Meetup...too much bad blood most surely will be there and you most certainly don't need that BS! Keep doing what your doing...and thanks for it all.
I like, I sub, have watched for awhile but I am ashamed to say that I can't remember your name but I do remember Jaxs' name. Did you do your van conversion yourself? Your videos are very good, keep up the good work. Happy trails and safe travels. Jane and her wacky sidekick, Lola, the Boston Terrier .
What is that stove you are using in the van? I love your van videos. This is my second time around watching all your videos. You give such great tips for us whether it's an RV or a van.
The biggest problem with traveling is that work, therefore income, doesn't necessarily follow you. I understand modern technology makes it easier than ever to earn a living anywhere with a cell signal, but what do you do to keep in food and fuel?
Curious with the fuel pump bad in the larger rear tank, did you manually siphon it out and place it in the front tank? Wouldn't make sense to carry all that extra fuel weight with you if you cant transfer over.
Still loving these older Bertha videos
I'm an only child. I'm in my mid 30s and save for my closest of close friends and one friend who I've known for so long, I call him my brother, I'm exceptionally alone. My parents were pretty normal in that they planted themselves in one spot and didn't move, so I didn't move..and I've been stuck in my hometown and haven't seen anywhere else except when I go out of town for like a day or two, and it has been driving me crazy so much to the point where I've had several breakdowns and I've been looking for a cure to this emptiness I've been feeling for a long time now and I think I've finally found it. I've looked up several channels and articles on this topic and yours in one that really gives me inspiration to make this happen. Keep on man, you're a living inspiration.
You and your cat are the cutest thing ever. It is nice to see a cat that is sweet and adventurous.
You're a good guy Eric, I don't know what you're searching for in life, but you will find it one day.Safe travels, your channel rocks!
I think he found it
I recently subscribed and now I am going back to your older videos and relishing in how far you have come in the past seven years. I love your channel, the way you treat your kitties, and the overall wonderful and fun soul that you are.
I love these in the van videos. You and living free make the best videos!
I love that you keep your kitty on a leash. That is so me. Like I don't want to keep him indoors if he is an outdoor cat, but I'm also worried for his safety. So he only goes out when I am supervising him. I haven't trained him to use a leash yet, but he responds to my voice when I call him and he doesn't stray far from the house.

I love how neat and efficient you are. Nice.
Also, your cat is awesome.
It must feel liberating to have adventures in a new place every couple days. I like your set up!
Of all your rigs, I like your van the Best. Love your videos, and you and Jax!
What beautiful sky driving in to a good night!
Great video! Keep on rolling, and keep these great videos coming!!!!!
what a healthy handsome sweet little cat
both my wife debbie and i enjoy your videos and love your cat and the way you treat it.look forward to many more .safe journeys.dave and deb .new zealand
Your videos are so refreshing and addicting lol. I have a van and I want to do this, it's just AC and dry camping is the biggest hurdle I have to overcome.
Thank you for the video god bless you and protect you evry where you go .
Hi Eric, I am seeing that you didn't just get smart, YOU'VE always been smart. Good for you.
Your friend, Louise
I like your philosophy on life and enjoy your videos very much! Keep truckin!
Totally agree Eric. It`s either in your blood or it isn`t. I`ve been "grounded" for quite a while now, raising a family, but always identify more with gypsy travel than living and amassing things in a box.

I could not imagine living in the same spot my whole life! Looking out the same window day after day would kill me. TY for sharing..........
so glad i found this channel.
really nice van Eric, its really nice inside.
so happy for you Eric. Looking Good!!
I just wanted to see some of your past videos....sometimes Eric, you make me laugh so much! I really like you guy! "...keeps your face baby fresh!" lol
I can relate to what your saying. Love my RV. But when you have kids, having a permanent place is definitely better, But when you don’t RVing is amazing. Thank You I appreciate your time and your work. God Bless.
the driving footage at the beginning is a mood lifter
Fantastic Video. Keep on trucking.
yip I also enjoy your vids and simple honest style, thanks
That has got to be one of the coolest cats out there, and big he is a big boy not fat just a hefty kitty...... I understand Wanderlust, I also get owing something you can call yours.

Hey Eric...looks like you're adjusting to the van quite well!!
Rogue RVer quite, yes. :)
That's good to hear/know...then again, that's all we can hope for..right? LOL!
i lived in a cargo van in brookyln for 2 years. for some reason, the van looks more appealing to me than an RV. I still think it's "cool", cooler than an RV even at 34 years old now ;)

Property tax and income tax = gooberment ROBBERY
NICE Stihll hat!!! I live in Golden so it's cool to see you going through the central CO area.
I totally agree with you about not wanting to be planted down in one spot . I totally have as one friend put it The Gypsy spirit .
I seriously got teary-eyed watching the beginning of this video (not the intro, no offense). I used to travel from Arkansas (my home state) to Durango, CO, for work and life. I miss those sunrises and sunsets, and that reminded me of those years traveling to and from! Damn. I've got to get back out on the road. Thanks, again, for the great videos!
Hi I like your fan and I am interested in banking. I see you are a NASCAR fan. I am a Chase Elliot fan. Hope you are enjoying your summer.
Hi Eric...not my call, but I liked it better when you were in this van (I think it is called "Bertha") or Vana White. Smaller is nimbler. Your large Class A has had some issues (as most vehicles do). I wish you had stayed small. But...not my call and I am happy if you are. Happy New Year 2022!!🎉
this guy is great, big respect
I love the van life too! Love watching your vids!!!
A kindred spirit here. Losing all weights to roam as Geek Nomadic. Hope someday we meet on the road!
Looks cool.
I'm having to do the daily pill thing since I've had my heart attack back 9 months ago in May 2021. Those pill containers are great..
I'd love to try this & up till now have been saying I can't because of my cat. But low & behold he can come with me. Great inspiration. I'm also a great believer in using a thermos so it was very pleasing to see one being used. Thanks for sharing. This was the first of your videos I've watched but plan to enjoy more of your journey.
Eric, love the van......tell us about the layout.......like the bed, how wide, what kind of mattress etc.......
Don't worry what people think Eric, its none of their business, as long as you and Jax is happy that's what counts, if my health was better and I wasn't on oxygen, I would love to live like that, the way you and the rest of those RV'ers.
I love his videos.
Hi Eric I have been watching all your videos. I would love to travel like this there's so much to see.But being a girl (57) kinda worries me. What kind of paint is on the Van? It likes like rhino liner sprayed on it looks good
BABY WIPES! Great suggestion! About to hit the road for a month of camping off the grid in UT & AZ!
dude baby wipes, toothbrush in the elements and dry shaving is how i lived in Afghanistan for a few years
Dude I totally agree. I am so jealous.
Lots of good tips
Great A team van.
I never in my life meet anyone like me I truly feel the same way you do and been living like this all my life and I'm happy with it other people like my family are the ones that feel I need too be rooted like them but I'm happy
hey , i understand what you say about moving often because i feel the same way too but unfortunately i live in a house but doesn't stop me , i walk everyday and all day long in the week-ends . so i manage to just sleep in it at night , great vids keep it up man love from here.
Hi, great video. Question? What kind of fridge do you have and how do you keep it running? Thank you. Paulo
I like this guy!
I truly dig your self-confident-at-peace attitude. I rarely see that in young people today.
I was slurping some soup when you said, "... wait a minute, Eric, there's no wheels on that house", nearly blew soup all over the place. Great video, thanks for the tips too. ciao.
I love it!!
That first mug of coffee must taste minty. I always have a brew before teeth cleaning.
Your videos are great man. Keep it up. :)
Just got to the end of your vid.
I get it.
My family and friends do not understand that I PANIC if I can leave. I panic when, like yesterday my daughter begged me to move to Colorado and rent her second bedroom for $500.
I am panicking! She said she is all alone and needs her Mom.
I'm trying to figure out how I can be there with her but still live in my van.
I'm a truck driver, warehouse inventory/stocker. I would like to try Security Officer overnights.
But, I have to live out of a vehicle. There is no compromising on that.
Sounds like you should consider becoming a owner operator truck driver. The only issue you might run into is it requires you having an address and work statements to get a CDL. A home on wheels that makes you money
Can you talk about your Thetford Toilet, & Model, and your fridge, TY
I love your cat.
aw, your cat looks like our big tabby Toby, he also walked on a leash--he had to, bec we traveled cross country 6 times and no way he could be let out of the car alone to do his business.
people would stare and point at him and ask all sorts of questions because they never saw a cat being walked on a leash like a dog.
wow is that the northern morning lights?? or evening? or northern lights? beautiful in any case. Love Bertha motor sound.
Binge watching your videos. ❤️❤️❤️😻
Love it!
I hate that burnt coffee smell and taste myself. I turn my burner off asap and if I want another cup later I microwave. I'm not on the road, but someday I hope to be :)
Wow what a beautiful life, when i was young i was an alcoholic and wasted my life only into my 50s did i woke up i was very stupid it maybe because i didn't have a father or brothers to give me advise and i learned the hard way.
you have a great life as far as I am concerned. would love to try it but been tied down for to long
gets his veggies with his pizza if he wants them but u need them for digestion
Sorry if you've answered this in a future video, what happened to your roof-mounted solar shower pipe thing?
Nomadic life is more normal than settled. I have long thought that hunter gatherers live in the Garden of Eden and were tossed out to farm/city life. I have five acres, but it is a food forest. As close to hunter/gatherer as property ownership gets. There are about 230 native edible plants in each state, you could easily pick greens for your daily meals.

Hi Eric may I ask a silly question. I'm very new to RV Life my caravan is getting built. In regards to the water tank. Is there any chance the drinking water can become stagnant? Or does the water get oxygen in the tank? Thanks in advance think your channel is really great. You do great work.

Debbie Wilson I believe it's just spray on bed liner.
I like you cat! Cute! Your lifestyle is my future dream!

I'm sure Eric is not a perfect human specimen just as in, "me neither". But I do see Eric out there doing it...not just talking about it, not saying "Me too, Me too" but he's actually made a lifestyle out of it and he put's it into bite sized morsels for all of us to see. Lets face it, we'd all like to do what Eric does full time. I"m a little jealous myself, but to badmouth him becasue he's successful at it??? Uncool, and it just makes the haters look even worse. I've traveled in my van for a week or two at a time quite a few times, but continuously for a year??? I have too much tying me down to do that. Just becasue Eric has cut those strings that hold one in that position does not make him a bad person. I've read about him supposively ripping off the elderly couple with the RV purchase...(BUYERS SHOULD ALWAYS BEWARE) This is the hard part. Does Nomadic Fanatic go around just ripping off people and laughing about it? If so, shame on him. If not then shame on all the haters.
Anyway, keep 'em coming Eric...I'd not want to participate with a a bunch of wanna'be's either as in a Florida Van Meetup...too much bad blood most surely will be there and you most certainly don't need that BS! Keep doing what your doing...and thanks for it all.
Cute kitty.
I like your music. Can you share who it is?
I like, I sub, have watched for awhile but I am ashamed to say that I can't remember your name but I do remember Jaxs' name.
Did you do your van conversion yourself?
Your videos are very good, keep up the good work.
Happy trails and safe travels.

I agree with you. I think if I wanted a house I’d build me a tiny house that I could pull anywhere.
When checking your fluids are u going to add every other day? Or are u looking out to catch something before it breaks bad?
Interesting how your life and view have kinda modified since then to now here in 2020
What is that stove you are using in the van? I love your van videos. This is my second time around watching all your videos. You give such great tips for us whether it's an RV or a van.
where can this be done in florida. as far as staying at different places every couple of days
The biggest problem with traveling is that work, therefore income, doesn't necessarily follow you. I understand modern technology makes it easier than ever to earn a living anywhere with a cell signal, but what do you do to keep in food and fuel?
Curious with the fuel pump bad in the larger rear tank, did you manually siphon it out and place it in the front tank? Wouldn't make sense to carry all that extra fuel weight with you if you cant transfer over.
Yes, we go the fuel out in about 3 or 4 different containers. lol.
