      @TerrydeAlaska 7 років тому +13

      Its kind of what I do, especially when a good song comes on and I just have to dance. The video doesn't play the music I was actually dancing to (do to copyright rules I guess) and I thought someone would get up and dance with me...but they were all just happy to sit and watch.

    Terry you seem like such a nice guy. That was so nice of you to do so much for everyone, along with Jamie, at the van build. You both did. Jamie I hope you're still doing this by the time I'm able to get there...SEE YOU SOON! ☺✋💟👍📱

    Oh boy I relate to that restless spirit, It is hard for me to stay put too long even when I love the place I am at, I just need a regular change of scenery.

    • @Tatiacha
      @Tatiacha 7 років тому +3

      I think so, I got from my mother's side my dad will travel when someone plans it all out and will enjoy it when they do, but he stays put less than 5 miles from where he was born and if no one plans him a trip he would never go anywhere. lol Needless to say I am a mystery to him.

    wow terry really is a rock star. so good of him to help out so much during your event. i'm wondering if the feed tube to his fuel tank for his generator could be a diy type of project or something better suited for a professional to handle. seems like a handy convenience to have.

    • @TerrydeAlaska

    navy shower is what we used to do when we had well water and it hadn't rained in a while. i never called it that but it was the same. you wet down real quick and you turn that precious water off until time to rinse! we had 4 families on one well. praise the lord for city water we got around 1998 lol

      Shanna, actually I normally leave my cargo trailer in storage and just tow the car, but with the van build meet-up I wanted to bring along more tools and the cargo trailer came in handy for the project. There were several folks using it to store materials while waiting for their job to start. I do want to downsize in the future. Tks...Terry

    pretty cool. I was thinking about the uhaul build as well. However after watching Fred discuss his trailer and reasoning I'm considering going that way. Not stealthy, but works and still let's you do the rv parks which I believe prohibits the box trucks that uhaul uses.

    Wow! I have dance envy, van envy and solar envy! Been plotting and planning van living for a couple of years before I got it together to go for it. Not unlike, the average "NOMAD" I joined the "club" out or necessity more than choice. To be honest, this lifestyle turned out to be, more than, just good, not bad or just okay! I love van living. For some, RV, Car'v , SUV'v or Tent'v, whatever! It is a great life, just gotta get whatever rig you have fitted to work for you. I bought a transit cargo van, after selling my house, SUV and tow behind RV trailer. Thank you Jamie and other You Tuber's for sharing your knowledge. I learned that a van would work best for me and my dog. This year , "2020" has been a challenge for all of us. I don't have a shop. I do have, a great imagination, ability to improvise and strong will to survive. What I don' t have is a set of "social skills". Most of the time, I am a loner, but not alone. My loyal, friend, constant companion, best buddy ole pal, is always at my side. He never, ever forgets me. I might take a turn he didn't anticipate. With out a doubt, he will catch up and be right where I need him, before I could ever know I would need him. Sorry for the "Ramble" . I have TBI and tend to go, on! Wow! South of the Canadian Border might be doable?? I live by the rules. Try my best to play fair.

  • @theword4501
    @theword4501 6 років тому

    Nice Setup Terry. Very Interesting to hear about. 12v and propane refrigerator. Im just getting geared up to (hopefully) head out to the rtr. Im a female Minister (non denominational) and and artist. My hopes are to run a remote buisness. I want to keep things small as possible for ease of movement... and cost of fuel. Im finding...small isn't exactly better...because in a lot of rv camps...they want you to have an rv. I have a subaru outback. I have seperate tents I set up for 1. kitchen. 2. Ladies Room. 3. Living area for working and visiting/lounging. I agree...I have seen some vans that are just right...there was one that is a converted disabled bus...which in terms of sq foot is about the size of a Uhaul van. Time will tell which way I go with it. Personally I don't want to look like a traveling gypsy... but that may change for awhile if I find the perfect conversion. I will have to start a Channel called Gypsy Christian and embrace my fears. HA!
    God Bless.

  • @JC-xj1mv
    @JC-xj1mv 7 років тому

    so much great useful and helpful information so thank you. A used UHaul truck seems like good advice too. I bought a used mercedes suv to try this lifestyle in as you can tow a travel trailer with it if you want more living space you can also tow a travel trailer if you have a minivan or fullsize VAN too. thanks for all the good advice.

The joys of living on wheels... and lucky me, everything I own is in my van. No storage unit, no stuff at anyone's house. I have 3 storage bins of stuff and a bag of clothes. Practicing minimalism daily, lol. Thank goodness, cuz I have no cabinets in here... next van build party... I'm hoping to be there. My fantastic fan is under my bed, hahaha... what a mess
