all good but.. taking water from friends houses and calling it free..while you talk about saving money because thats what you like and not what you have too.. I really don't like you that much missy :)
I absolutely agree, Rebecca. In regards to this video I just think that it paints a picture that is not entirely transparent. There is a lot more to living costs than rent and the purchase of the home. That trailer is most likely not going to be worth 6000 dollars when she wants to get out of it. That's putting it mildly. The video doesn't mention running costs or maintenance either.
it's pretty easy to take sponge baths and pay $10 for water; she's got a good system. I like the people in this channel; they don't spend $40K on a tiny house.
I didn’t say her living conditions were practical , in general it’s better to be practical than fancy . It works for her for now and she can modify as she needs .
Wish you the very best. I am about 4 weeks out from moving into camper full time my self. I am 65 and I am so excited. Hope you get to travel. Be safe.
67. Do not like living in this senior citizen 80 apartment building. They keep causing kitchen fires and gardening is forbidden.. Unsafe here. Looking at alternitives.
I live in a four season rv full time . It is actually stationary now. I like the smaller space. It is a 27 ft and I actually wouldn't mind going even smaller for traveling with a smaller auto to pull it. I would feel safer hauling something small and am looking into it. Good luck and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have.

@@livamber202 Sandra Westley she has just stated she pays rent for her pitch, what is wrong with that, it’s no different to being on a camp site you pay a nightly fee, she pays a monthly fee, which I am sure the old lady is very grateful to have someone watch over her property to.
She does not live independently at all. She is a) renting the space the trailer is parked on, b) has to fill up drinking water at friends' homes or buy it, c) does not really stay there all year round and has to move into "friends homes" for the winter and d) showers at work or gym. So, do not call this "independent". It is all but independent living. She is a nice dreamer but, only singles can do that and only if they have friends or relatives they can turn to when needed. And needed they are. Nice camping experience for someone who just eats and sleeps, that's all it is.
Awesomeness, and great timing for me to see this one. I'm staying at my folk's place for a month while they're travelling (they recently retired), caring for my special needs brother (he's 24, I'm 46, LOL). They have 2 campers on their property close to their house (they're far from minimalists, LOL!), the 36' travel trailer they're currently on the road with, and an older 36' 5th wheel camper that they'd bought for $2,000 needing a bit of work. POINT BEING (sorry, I get side tracked in details sometimes) I opted to live in the 5th wheel camper while I'm here. I'm loving it so far (2 weeks in, 2 to go), so this one was a great watch for me 😀👍
@@AnakaStar It was only for 1 month, 9 months ago 😉 It's my parent's/younger brother's camper, I never see or go to it except for then. It was bliss though for that month 😊
@Rae Vandenberg Calm down Negative Nelly. Hopefully you'll have a positive outlook one day because it looks like you've been recieving what youve given others. Be kind and loving to one another.
I used to live in the US for 19 years and was pretty unhappy about my life. Now I moved to my native country, Mexico and I am as happy as ever. I know live close to my family members, live with the love of my life. I still take some time to do the things I like, like reading books and playing video games, going to the movies every once in a while. I dont live that bad at all compare to other people here in Mexico, but I can say that I had more comforts in USA, but for some reason that didn't really made me happy. Being here with my love ones, is what really makes me happy. Living in a space that I call my own. Really happiness is not always about material things, money and all that. A lot of people that have more money are quite unhappy about their life.
I love her name. Plus she seems like a nice down to earth young woman. The woman who owns the land is smart. If I owned acre's of land I would allow people (similar to this young woman) to rent the space from me as well.
I don't doubt that the majority of viewers would move into this in a heartbeat, because it's beautiful, as is it's location! Thank you for sharing this video.
I love your home. Ive been thinking alternative living since my 30s. I'll be 61 next month and one day soon I'll be leaving my parents home whom I cared for after my husband's death. I want to live a low cost living and self sufficient as possible.
I live in my camper full time too.. Even throughout the winter. I love it. Mine is parked in a double lot at an all year campground called Sycamore Springs Campground , in Vermontville, Michigan. It runs us about $650 month to stay here in the winter. Summer prices drop. They don't charge for electric in the summer months. Making it half the price in the summer.
There’s so much on UA-cam that glorifies a certain type of fantasy in this niche of lifestyle. I don’t get this from your videos. They’re positive, real, and informative where most fall short. Thanks for choosing to represent your stories in this way. I feel it will help me towards making my dreams a reality.
I just happened to run across you tonight. The past few years I have had many many life changes. But I was like your first 100 subscribers. I can remember all your first videos. Wow! 850 subscribers!

I think it's great that she loves it and I totally understand the whole low cost living thing. Real running costs wasn't mentioned and she didn't sound too sure about how the home would be to live in in less than ideal temperatures. As much as I like watching these kind of videos they always point out the low cost (rent) and purchasing price but almost never really mention the real costs that are attached (heating/electric bill/maintenance) vs the appreciation in value connected to buying a house or apartment. What's the time span? That is a factor. Does she live there a year or two years? I don't see old used trailers going up in price. I'm not trying to put this video down. I'm just saying that a 200 dollar rent and 6000 dollars to buy the trailer is not a representation of what the actual costs are long term. Thanks for the video - kind regards, Jonas.
@@mjp5429 I absolute agree with you but that's also my point. My "gripe" with the video was that the introduction says that they are going to deal with the pros and cons connected to this living style. I don't see them dealing with any of that. It's the 200 canadian dollar pricetag in rent that puzzles me. I'm not from canada but I'm assuming that even there it's "highly unlikely" to find a camp site or lot or basically anywhere with water and electricity where you can park your trailer and have everything covered for 200 canadian dollars a month?
@@JonasRosenven not from Canada either but here in the upper Midwestern US there are plenty of old farmsteads sitting unused all together or if used at all it's just for the out buildings as the houses are either gone or in desperate need of a match. The key here is to network and ask around. Having some type of skill or even just extra time to help out is in your favor.
I agree, even her potentially having to pay $10 a week, is basically a water bill in an apartment, and at least in the apartment she would have heated running water
Tim Tidwell Why do people say they care about the ENVIRONMENT yet want to CHOP DOWN TREES for firewood? Sincere question.... She has to pay $200 rent which gives her access to electricity from the lady's property.
@@estherstrategicadvisor749 I undertstand what you are saying about the enviornment, but there are a lot of tress that are already down in the woods, also if pine cones are available does the trick also. I am speaking from experience here, being a farmer and a soldier whom stayed in the back forties ...
As with most small dwelling, be it on wheels or otherwise, almost always we celebrate it by putting it on an open green land, or some kind of natural scenery to give the sense of expanse. In this place we can see that the lawn had been mowed recently, this implies a lot of landscape maintenance.
you should look into the cubic mini woodstove, they are made in canada. i have the bigger one, called the grizzly. they also make a smaller one called the cub, you would want the bigger one ( grizzly). they work and are made well. mine kept me aluve in my class c in -25 temps. they really help alot
Just moved into my sunnybrook rv , which is very similar to yours, full time 8 months ago, lil rough at first, but I finally figured out my creature comforts and it’s now smooth sailing. No rent is bliss!
My parents live in a similar trailer in BC all year round. They have wrapped their trailer in what’s called “boat wrapping” in winter to keep warm. They live the freedom that living this way brings them. I’m so happy for them! (My hubby and I will be downsizing from our 4 bed house to an apt or condo once we move to Alberta but that’s as small as we are willing to go! We’re not as brave as they are.)
Her trailer looks so much like the prowler I used to live in. I lived in it 6 yrs. such a great place. I was parked on a family’s property. When the family died I had to give it up but it was great having free rent for six years while I went to school to get my degree. All I paid for was propane and phone. I had water hooked up to their garden hose and the family ran electricity out to me. And they hooked me up to their septic system since I was parked right by the septic tank. We were on 10 acres of lemon trees. Had a huge garden and green house that nobody was using. The caretakers on the property had a laundry room they let me use. They even had chickens that I helped feed so they let me have an egg or two. Lots of fruit trees on the property too. Loved it. Living simply is the best way.
I can relate to Arielle. Many years ago my husband at the time and I used to live in travel trailer almost like that one that she lives in. My ex husband live in North FLA in a house with his brother and I live in South FLA in a condo by myself. My ex in laws move out of the main house down the street into a another house and we move into main house and out of tiny travel trailer. I can relate to tiny living. If people want to live tiny living into tiny house or whatever who choose to live in go for it. you have my blessings. I think it is very interesting at times. Take care everyone.
This is good living. I have a 98 jayco eagle. I'm renovating , pallet wood in use. All free..... It's been a long beautiful journey. But it's good to see this video. As soon as mine is done maybe, I will make a video. Much love my sister, live like a goddess.
@@samanthavanscoder9536 It's good to notice things like that because your fridge and other appliances will not work properly if they are not level. I have lived in a 5th wheel for over 6 years and the cost to live in one is way more than what they are telling you here. Forget about it if one of your appliances craps out. RV stuff is out of sight to replace! She also didn't mention the cost of propane, roof leaks (common in a very old trailer), dry rot, etc. It's a nice dream though and for some, like myself, their only option. It's not bad. This is just not reality, unfortunately.
I lived in a three bedroom house in California, sold it, and whilst I was in transition to the West Palm Beach Florida I lived in my trailer that I never used till my move, I was happier living in that 8x33ft trailer than in my 2600sq ft home, I lived in it four years, I would do it again with out feeling any shame at all,it was very comfortable and great during the earth quakes. The main reason was the house required a twenty four hr dust mitten when I walked in the door.
Hay bails do help a lot, but even a wind block from 1 or 2 layers tarp will help a lot. Weigh down the bottom part so wind doesn't get underneath. Snow will help with that once it arrives, if you are in a snow area. The only downside is that hay eventually becomes housing for vermin. Be prepared to deal with those by any preferred methods.
I think it’s great what you are doing! It sounds like you are very sensible and have taken the time to think everything out. I wish you all the best in your adventures!💕
My wife and I have been living in our remodeled camper for about 4 months now (we are saving to build a tiny home and farm infrastructure on some land we own). Our camper is a lot smaller than this one though haha but we have made it quite comfortable.
I love this, much better then other videos I’ve seen, some people spend way too much money on renovating a bus or older rv. I like that it’s simple, this is what I plan on doing this to an older 5th wheel or travel trailer. Thanks for making this video.❤️
There is such a tranquility and glow about you. It's like you're the hero of a Ghibli film. haha. You have a wonderful home, I hope to be living similarly in a few years!
This is suuuper appealing to me. I would be doing this if I were not getting married. Last year I got rid of 99% of my belongings and I have never been happier.
The 'fridge might work for awhile when the trailer isn't level, but we found out the hard way that it WILL self-destruct eventually. We knew better, but had pulled into a space that just wouldn't allow us to level... we tried for over an hour, then noticed we had a leak in our fuel line and the neighbors were getting ready to build a fire too close. We shut off the engine and stayed put. The 'fridge died a few days after we got home.
I started out in travel trailers in a park back in 76 after Marine Corp. Rent was 45 a month, things were tight, but was really the best time of my life so far. I fondly think back to those wonderful times and wish I could relive them. I also think about the luxury a trailer has to offer after seeing how people in other countries live. Stay happy and thrive! Your good friend Vinny in good old Fla.
I love it ! It's beautiful!! What a joy and when my children go off to college I'd LOVE to live in a nice lil trailer like this!! I feel safer in smaller places. Right now I live in an 1800 sq foot home and there's so much unused space! I mostly use my bedroom ,bath, n kitchen! The rest is for the kids. But when they are settled and safe and stable, I'd love to do this but I'd like to retire and travel!! All over the USA! IM 43 NOW AND MY KIDS WILL BE OFF WITHIN FIVE YRS AND IF THEY WANTED TO THEY COULD COME WITH! ID LOVE THAT!
Love it!! Great space. That is what I consider the perfect amount of space. Mine is 36 feet and I get a little stressed driving it because it is so long and the additional space in mine does not make it any more comfortable than mine. My question is; how much space does the radiator heat? I know you don’t want to keep the propane heat on overnight for safety reasons but what about putting a wood burning stove in? You are a very smart girl.💖
Merci très invitant site pour vivre une superbe expérience à la campagne. Bel environnement, she seems so confident and not stressed at all. Well organized lady!
Looks like the mid west. Here in TN it can get pretty cold in the winter. Also very green here in spring and summer. Does she have problems with spiders or bugs, ants. She didnt mention. She seems happy, so good for her 😊😊 my son and wife and 2 young kids are RV ing in florida to save and become debt free. Hope it works out.
Most places that allow campers to park and stay 1-30 days won’t allow the trailer -RV -camper in their parks unless they are 5 years old or newer. Even if they are renovated. Especially they won’t allow RV older than 5 years coz they are just to old and might break down on their properties. Some private parks wont allow you in if your RV-trailer etc is older than 3 years. That’s what’s going on in the private and state/federal parks in the USA..
I've been working towards living in an airstream camper full time .. been in it most of a year now with it being moved numerous times before finally landing this space my friend now owns. It's on the plains and the winter was brutal .. I was parked inside of a barn for the worst of it. Propane and electricity available. Currently working on water on site so can stop hauling in jugs of water. I think this is great and also allows for moving whenever and traveling in future .. just bring home with! Remodeling mine has not yet begun .. I really like what she's done with hers
Make or purchase heavy drapes for all of your windows in addition to the insulation you are using and you will make it through the Winter! Happy for you!
Happiness is a choice of the mind, it’s not anyone’s responsibility to make or keep you happy. I love her independence and ability to be happy too. It’s an amazing awesome inspirational choice, thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻💜🤗👵🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Im in a very similar situation....not nearly as beautiful as yours, I put up a indoor warming tent over my bed...its amazing how warm i am while sleeping. Im in a 74 motorhome that is really bare boned. I left a gorgeous new stuck built and a controlling angry husband...in exchange for a very old non functioning calm peacefully space that truly has become my safe haven. We're soon approaching winter....its frightening . Ill be following you to see how your making it. God bless!
I was hoping she was going to mention which province she lived in. I live in BC in a 30ft Jayco trailer. I cant think of anyone out here that would let you park for $200 per month. Just renting a bedroom out of a house where I live is $900 per month. I really wanted full hook ups so I pay $800 to park full time at a campgound. Still better than renting a room in someones house for the same price.

This is becoming the new norm. Like she said $800.00 per month in a tiny 1 bdrm apartment with the rent going up every single year. Folks are getting back to basics and loving it. It's so peaceful out there and beautiful.
It’s better to be practical than to be fancy . Going back to the basics creates time for more living .
all good but.. taking water from friends houses and calling it free..while you talk about saving money because thats what you like and not what you have too.. I really don't like you that much missy :)

I am speaking from experience here, being a farmer and a soldier whom stayed in the back forties ...
@Tim Yes, a small wood heater would be perfect. I've seen people in tiny homes use pine cones to burn, which is a good resource!
It's great to live in that peaceful place. That is a handy manual water pump dispenser.
What a lovely, grateful, gracious and sensible young woman. Smart girl!
As with most small dwelling, be it on wheels or otherwise, almost always we celebrate it by putting it on an open green land, or some kind of natural scenery to give the sense of expanse. In this place we can see that the lawn had been mowed recently, this implies a lot of landscape maintenance.
you should look into the cubic mini woodstove, they are made in canada. i have the bigger one, called the grizzly. they also make a smaller one called the cub, you would want the bigger one ( grizzly). they work and are made well. mine kept me aluve in my class c in -25 temps. they really help alot
She seems so grounded and content. It's calming to listen to her talk. What a great life.
Just moved into my sunnybrook rv , which is very similar to yours, full time 8 months ago, lil rough at first, but I finally figured out my creature comforts and it’s now smooth sailing. No rent is bliss!
Absolutely lovely young lady.
Best of luck to you.
Have a great day and thanks for sharing.
Way to go girl! Best of luck. You are on a good path.
My parents live in a similar trailer in BC all year round. They have wrapped their trailer in what’s called “boat wrapping” in winter to keep warm. They live the freedom that living this way brings them. I’m so happy for them! (My hubby and I will be downsizing from our 4 bed house to an apt or condo once we move to Alberta but that’s as small as we are willing to go! We’re not as brave as they are.)
Can’t help but notice the “tip her” hat by the table!! Love her place even more now!!!
You’re lucky. Many places in the States won’t allow you to park these just anywhere and live in them. But I’d love to. ❤️❤️
Yes. And if you do, it is usually pretty expensive to stay on a lot. The fees are horrendous.
Her trailer looks so much like the prowler I used to live in. I lived in it 6 yrs. such a great place. I was parked on a family’s property. When the family died I had to give it up but it was great having free rent for six years while I went to school to get my degree. All I paid for was propane and phone. I had water hooked up to their garden hose and the family ran electricity out to me. And they hooked me up to their septic system since I was parked right by the septic tank. We were on 10 acres of lemon trees. Had a huge garden and green house that nobody was using. The caretakers on the property had a laundry room they let me use. They even had chickens that I helped feed so they let me have an egg or two. Lots of fruit trees on the property too. Loved it. Living simply is the best way.
I can relate to Arielle. Many years ago my husband at the time and I used to live in travel trailer almost like that one that she lives in. My ex husband live in North FLA in a house with his brother and I live in South FLA in a condo by myself. My ex in laws move out of the main house down the street into a another house and we move into main house and out of tiny travel trailer. I can relate to tiny living. If people want to live tiny living into tiny house or whatever who choose to live in go for it. you have my blessings. I think it is very interesting at times. Take care everyone.
This is good living. I have a 98 jayco eagle. I'm renovating , pallet wood in use. All free..... It's been a long beautiful journey. But it's good to see this video. As soon as mine is done maybe, I will make a video. Much love my sister, live like a goddess.
Thanks for showinG uS your very cozy lil home! If it were a lot warmer for uS Canadians in the Winter...a lot of uS would live like you!😄😎🌻⚘🐝🐞
Beautiful, warm and cosy home.
Arielle, your home is beautiful! You definitely have a great lay-out! I love it! Best of luck to you...........
I started in a very similar trailer - 1986 prowler. I'm now in a much newer, nicer, bigger trailer and find myself missing the little one.
Very nice, but is it me or is that thing not levelled at all?
It totally looked off.
Lol that thing
I think you're right
I noticed that.
Tiparillo😅
Yes it looks like the tires are flat too
Haha thats such a guy thing to notice
@@samanthavanscoder9536 It's good to notice things like that because your fridge and other appliances will not work properly if they are not level. I have lived in a 5th wheel for over 6 years and the cost to live in one is way more than what they are telling you here. Forget about it if one of your appliances craps out. RV stuff is out of sight to replace! She also didn't mention the cost of propane, roof leaks (common in a very old trailer), dry rot, etc. It's a nice dream though and for some, like myself, their only option. It's not bad. This is just not reality, unfortunately.
I lived in a three bedroom house in California, sold it, and whilst I was in transition to the West Palm Beach Florida I lived in my trailer that I never used till my move, I was happier living in that 8x33ft trailer than in my 2600sq ft home, I lived in it four years, I would do it again with out feeling any shame at all,it was very comfortable and great during the earth quakes. The main reason was the house required a twenty four hr dust mitten when I walked in the door.
Back it into that empty barn and put hay bales around as skirting in winter?
@Tony Ray the original post sounded like a good idea until I read your comment!
Hay bails do help a lot, but even a wind block from 1 or 2 layers tarp will help a lot. Weigh down the bottom part so wind doesn't get underneath. Snow will help with that once it arrives, if you are in a snow area.
The only downside is that hay eventually becomes housing for vermin. Be prepared to deal with those by any preferred methods.
Back it into the barn without hay bales...and get a cat!
Get an electric mouse zapper. It works great.
SA Flannagan 🤣😅
I don't usually like places like that. But that particular home is my favourite I've ever seen!
I think it’s great what you are doing! It sounds like you are very sensible and have taken the time to think everything out. I wish you all the best in your adventures!💕
Beautiful video. Quite refreshing, really.
YES-It-Is, ECQ!!
How peaceful, what a great place, what a great life!!!
Very smart!
Blessings, 🐝
Would love to live in a small camper. Cozy.
Thanks so much for showing this - I guess we just have to be in the right place at the right time to find something we can afford! Her home is lovely!
I just love her spirit and mindset!😘
A really nice young lady..good story..she has enough to be happy
My wife and I have been living in our remodeled camper for about 4 months now (we are saving to build a tiny home and farm infrastructure on some land we own). Our camper is a lot smaller than this one though haha but we have made it quite comfortable.
I like this down to earth van. Cosy and practical.
It does what it said on the lid lol
Cool camper trailer
Nice set up. I used an electric blanket in the fall at the campground (I own a camper trailer too but it’s parked at a campground)
love her concept of being simple
I'm nearly there, just looking for a place to park.
I love this, much better then other videos I’ve seen, some people spend way too much money on renovating a bus or older rv. I like that it’s simple, this is what I plan on doing this to an older 5th wheel or travel trailer. Thanks for making this video.❤️
There is such a tranquility and glow about you. It's like you're the hero of a Ghibli film. haha. You have a wonderful home, I hope to be living similarly in a few years!
Stiggandr1 which studio ghilib film is that ? I'm curious as I'm a fan 😊
This is suuuper appealing to me.
I would be doing this if I were not getting married.
Last year I got rid of 99% of my belongings and I have never been happier.
The 'fridge might work for awhile when the trailer isn't level, but we found out the hard way that it WILL self-destruct eventually. We knew better, but had pulled into a space that just wouldn't allow us to level... we tried for over an hour, then noticed we had a leak in our fuel line and the neighbors were getting ready to build a fire too close. We shut off the engine and stayed put. The 'fridge died a few days after we got home.
I started out in travel trailers in a park back in 76 after Marine Corp. Rent was 45 a month, things were tight, but was really the best time of my life so far. I fondly think back to those wonderful times and wish I could relive them. I also think about the luxury a trailer has to offer after seeing how people in other countries live. Stay happy and thrive! Your good friend Vinny in good old Fla.
TRULY....I mean TRULY...these are my favorite videos here...the non house kinda videos. I really love this channel💗
We live in a non-house! A 41 ft sailboat is our home sweet home. we will be sailing around the world in 2020 :)
So cool. It looks like a lovely airy studio apartment. Love it. I would be ready for that anytime.
she needs a youtube channel ,she seems full of positive vibes that draw you in.
She is such a nice and wise young lady! Best of luck!
Arielle is awesome! What an inspiration!
I love it ! It's beautiful!! What a joy and when my children go off to college I'd LOVE to live in a nice lil trailer like this!! I feel safer in smaller places. Right now I live in an 1800 sq foot home and there's so much unused space! I mostly use my bedroom ,bath, n kitchen! The rest is for the kids. But when they are settled and safe and stable, I'd love to do this but I'd like to retire and travel!! All over the USA! IM 43 NOW AND MY KIDS WILL BE OFF WITHIN FIVE YRS AND IF THEY WANTED TO THEY COULD COME WITH! ID LOVE THAT!
Love it!! Great space. That is what I consider the perfect amount of space. Mine is 36 feet and I get a little stressed driving it because it is so long and the additional space in mine does not make it any more comfortable than mine. My question is; how much space does the radiator heat? I know you don’t want to keep the propane heat on overnight for safety reasons but what about putting a wood burning stove in? You are a very smart girl.💖
This is lovely. Be safe.
What a pleasant person.
Merci très invitant site pour vivre une superbe expérience à la campagne. Bel environnement, she seems so confident and not stressed at all. Well organized lady!
Looks like the mid west. Here in TN it can get pretty cold in the winter. Also very green here in spring and summer. Does she have problems with spiders or bugs, ants. She didnt mention. She seems happy, so good for her 😊😊 my son and wife and 2 young kids are RV ing in florida to save and become debt free. Hope it works out.
She has a lovely attitude :-)
Most places that allow campers to park and stay 1-30 days won’t allow the trailer -RV -camper in their parks unless they are 5 years old or newer. Even if they are renovated. Especially they won’t allow RV older than 5 years coz they are just to old and might break down on their properties. Some private parks wont allow you in if your RV-trailer etc is older than 3 years. That’s what’s going on in the private and state/federal parks in the USA..
What a happy independent women! Her happiness is so calming and peaceful, good luck to you!
I've been working towards living in an airstream camper full time .. been in it most of a year now with it being moved numerous times before finally landing this space my friend now owns. It's on the plains and the winter was brutal .. I was parked inside of a barn for the worst of it. Propane and electricity available. Currently working on water on site so can stop hauling in jugs of water. I think this is great and also allows for moving whenever and traveling in future .. just bring home with! Remodeling mine has not yet begun .. I really like what she's done with hers
love from cairo egypt
Good for you Arielle. Wisdom at your age, spread it around.
What an interesting and enjoyable interview! Well done!
I lived in a camper for two years , I loved it !!!!!!
Lovely young woman! Very resourceful!
Beautiful Young Woman. Thanks For Sharing...
Brings that classic tune, alive - 'Good Morning, sunshine' !
Make or purchase heavy drapes for all of your windows in addition to the insulation you are using and you will make it through the Winter! Happy for you!
Happiness is a choice of the mind, it’s not anyone’s responsibility to make or keep you happy. I love her independence and ability to be happy too. It’s an amazing awesome inspirational choice, thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻💜🤗👵🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love her gratitude. On point!
Im in a very similar situation....not nearly as beautiful as yours, I put up a indoor warming tent over my bed...its amazing how warm i am while sleeping.
Im in a 74 motorhome that is really bare boned.
I left a gorgeous new stuck built and a controlling angry husband...in exchange for a very old non functioning calm peacefully space that truly has become my safe haven.
We're soon approaching winter....its frightening .
Ill be following you to see how your making it.
God bless!
I'm glad you are safe now and wish you all the happiness and health in the world 💟 take care
I was hoping she was going to mention which province she lived in. I live in BC in a 30ft Jayco trailer. I cant think of anyone out here that would let you park for $200 per month. Just renting a bedroom out of a house where I live is $900 per month. I really wanted full hook ups so I pay $800 to park full time at a campgound. Still better than renting a room in someones house for the same price.
Bravo&Brava, To Our Hosts!! Thank Yoy, For Providing This Forum, To Those Of Us, Who(m), APPRECIATE, The Learning More About, Of This Truly-Wonderful Lifestyle!! Peace&Harmony, To Us All!!
This is becoming the new norm. Like she said $800.00 per month in a tiny 1 bdrm apartment with the rent going up every single year. Folks are getting back to basics and loving it. It's so peaceful out there and beautiful.
