Stephen is a 72-year-old nomad who thought he’d be working forever without a retirement plan. Now he’s discovered he can trade work for a full-time life of adventure! Living in his TAB Lite trailer, towed with a Chevy Colorado truck, Stephen is turning his retirement into a life of freedom and outdoor exploration.

Thanks for watching!
This is the kind of person you want to run into while camping. Incredibly nice, super smart, and seems like a genuinely helpful individual. Superb video!
agreed!!
Yep here in Prague I met a guy 101 last yr on the metro (tube subway) and he had a bike ..lol.
Stay healthy folks
Love to see someone so passionate and positive! :)
His knees may be arthritic, but his lungs are at full capacity!!! He was able to give this entire interview in only 4 breaths! WOW! What magnificent energy. This man is extremely exuberant. I very much enjoyed watching this video. I bet he's a lot of fun to be with, too. And more than anything, I'm grateful to him for presenting that little "Cupid" heater that uses butane. I gotta git me one a dem!!!! Bob, as always, I love you. 🎉
lol.
❤ that was my take as well, and the cupid heater.
lol !😂
See how Bob helps people to break free and make the transition to a better life? Wonderful! All the best to this man!
He's a good dude. He knows a better way and wants to help other people discover it.
This man has great energy for 72. Happy camping 🏕🙏
Meeting Stephen would make your cloudy day sunny, wouldn't it? Such positive vibes!
He certainly does !
This guy needs a managerial job at a retail outlet. He could sell me anything. God bless him. He seems like a terrific soul and a very positive person to be camped beside.
When someone says, appreciate what you have, this guy is the poster child
I’m 42 and feel like this gentleman (the camping every free minute I get). You’re an inspiration!
This bloke could talk underwater with a mouthful of marbles! I love his enthusiasm! 👍
Now, that's funny!!
He’s was non stop ! lol 😆
He is a happy human!
72 ??? He looks in great shape
I think his positivity helps maintain his youth. He looks 52, not 72!
But he’s riddled with arthritis lol. At 72, it’s always something!!
Fantastic attitude, great bloke
He really does. Good for him. 😊
☮️🩷😎
It’s the new 45 I hear
I haven't seen anyone so excited since I got my first bicycle on my 6th birthday!!! Love this guy!
I know! It's so refreshing to watch! He is definitely excited about his new life.
Steven seems to be a very happy man who loves his life. Congratulations on your retirement Steven! Steven is so excited that all Bob had to do was follow him with the camera & let Steven do the talking! His enthusiasm is contagious
Great story, great rig! Now I'm trying to get the hubby to sell the house so we can go on the road more!
Wish I could get my wife to do the same.
keep chipping away quietly though
Very hard to do ,like the idea of having a base station your house and property a post mail box ,if you don't like it later on what do you do ,buy another house ...to old for that ,stuff , very hard decission
just go he'll follow lol
Do it ❤
Do it 🎉
Just do it 😂
I wish you well 🍀
Wow, after a short intro, Bob hardly needed to say a word. I like to see a 72 retiree with hi-energy and an inspired plan !
He looks fabulous!!! Great rig, great man and great interview/ tour! Thank you Bob for all you do as you impact so many lives. Much love and many blessings
Great setup for a single person 😍
Love his positive attitude but curious about how he got to limited savings and no home at his age. Reason #271 Not To Get Married
Both of these men are inspirational to us older viewers.
fires WHEN ALLOWED! Stephen is GREAT for that fire safety plug. we must all be diligent stewards of our land. love the cheery energy
That was a fun interview and he seems to really love the outdoors. I envy his courage and the life style he's about to embark on. His setup is amazing and love that he flys the flag.
🇺🇲🙏🏕
I’ve camped with him a couple of times. He’s a great guy!
I like his attitude and his rig very nice 😊thank guys
This guy is a walking camping commercial. Very clean camping set up. God bless him.
Same here. I spent the last 5yrs saving up and bought a 23ft used motorhome to live in. It was either that or live under a bridge, lol. I'm 67yrs old.
Patricia, are you on your own?
How is everything?
I'm a 66 year old that wants to retire in 12 months. I would like to hit the road, but I'm not that experienced with being out there.
Can you give me any advice?
@@debbiebolek2117 Hi Debbie 🙂
First, decide how you want to live. It'll help you decide on what kind of rig you want. I picked a class c for several reasons like wanting it to feel like a little house plus I don't plan on doing more than doing the snowbird thing. Once you figure that out, start shopping and when you find what you want make sure you get it inspected by an independent, certified inspector.
I spent about 2yrs reading up and watching utube videos. The more you know the better. I've also gotten info on rv maintenance and maps and info on Federal/ State land. I've also been accumulating things like good quality electrical cord with power surge protection, drinking water hose(not regular garden hose) with water pressure protection and filter, adequate 12volt air pump and safety items. I'm saving up now to add a solar setup.
Yes, I'm by myself but I've been a trucker for 25yrs so I'm a bit used to living on the road. Just do your research and plan ahead.
Best of luck and happy trails, Debbie. ❤️
He very efficiently utilized his space, impressive! I actually like his entire setup, plugs in when he can, but prefers practicality & efficiency...my guy! His rig feels cozy, I can see how this could easily be someone's full time. Good stuff!
WOW..cool story this guy seems he's happy and looking forward to retirement. Good luck sir and enjoy yourself👏👊
He’s done a lot in four years! Going to follow him; very resourceful!
He has a lot of storage in that truck
He has a lot of storage in that truck
Dear Bob, you changed so many lifes worldwide (I am living in Germany) with your wonderful videos and the idea that there is an alternative lifestyle for young and old, rich and broke. Thank you for being you and starting your channel. You are an inspiration.
I've never heard Bob so quiet.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I wonder why,
What a sweetheart, so enthusiastic. Glad he's happy and not worried anymore. Lot's of folks exploring what he's doing, myself including.🥛keep that glass half full.
This man is so clearly happy. Good for him!
My dear friend (male) is 70 and Steven reminds me of my friend, super positive outlook snd spreads happiness everywhere he goes, looks and sounds 20+ years younger. Well done! Nice setup.
Probably the most entertaining guest I’ve seen on this channel.
Great video. FYI What helped my arthritis was cutting out the oil and animal products. Try it for 2 weeks and see if it helps. Oatmeal, potatoes and salsa, sweet potatoes (try white ones), rice and beans, rice bowls with steamed veggies, pasta and red sauce. Fill up on the starches. 50 to 90% starches. Use meat and cheese as condiments. I have no more pain in my hands, etc.
What helped my back was 3 minutes of daily yoga stretches like child pose, cat and cow, squat, touching toes and seated pigeon. It was like a miracle. I could walk again. God bless.
Emu oil helps arthritis is my hands. I bought it at Krogers - blue emu oil. I was really impressed with it. I was having bad pain in one knuckle and I put it on several times a day and the pain left.
That is wonderful 👍😊
Mom cut dairy
I have been watching Stephen for a year. Love his laugh.
This fellow has the gift of gab. Charming and entertaining
I follow Stephen on his channel already! I am glad he got a camper he can stand up in with more amenities than a box. Excellent video! Love those 320 campers!
Grew up in poverty . Retired at 51 to care for my aging parents . You need to be self employed and keep all your commission . Was making 3 % in insurance as a captive agent . Went to 11 % when I became a Broker . Now well off with no debt . My goal is to help others less fortunate than myself .
For 72 your energy optimism is inspiring. Happy you found this rig.
I love Stephen's energy and enthusiasm. What a great tiny home on wheels! And wonderful to hear from another person, like myself who has been positively affected by your video interviews. You are making the world a better place Bob ❤
Fantastic interview. Stephen's attitude is infectious.
I just love to see older people looking so fit and young! Go you! Fantastic. Wishing you all the best from down under 🙌🏼
I honestly don’t see anything wrong with working past the typical retirement age if you’re able and hopefully enjoy what you’re doing. In the world we live in that may become more and more necessary… this gentleman should be a inspiration to us all , I’m 55 and would love to be where he is one day . Awesome!!! ✝️🇺🇸🤙🏻🅰️
I hope I’m that energetic and enthusiastic at 72! I plan to live out of my teardrop camper half the year and have a lot of the same gear. Off road/off grid is the way to go! I will be following him on UA-cam. Please do more coverage of people living in tiny campers!
Wow. I'm 55 and he makes me feel old. I'm reading comments so I can make sure the heater is safe, but impressed overall with everything.
I am 63 yrs old started watching your videos now i am really interested in this and i think it would awesome despite any inconvenience!!!
Better late than never but I can’t imagine working till I’m 72
Same. So glad I saved and invested.
I worked til I was 83. Retired and moved to Key West Florida. 4 years later after Irma I moved to Central Florida. Still here in my 28” Class A Rv at age 92. Still drive it.
And winding up living alone in a shoebox. Pretty sad ending.
I hope l don’t have to. At 62 I plan to work half the year and save and take off the other half. As a divorced mother who raised 2 kids on my own it wasn’t possible to save much and social security alone would barely cover my bills. It’s an unfortunate reality for many today that full retirement isn’t going to happen.
@@joewasrippedoff8152..he looks quite happy and healthy. Better than wasting away in a home or an overpriced apartment. Maybe he likes being alone.
He is so right. It’s been wonderful for me. Full time 4 years now. What a wonderful attitude this fella has!!!❤
12:54. If you have a pair of dedicated camper slippers next to the door, you won't track anything inside.
I loved this video from Florida USA. And you have made yourself a beautiful camper and a beautiful "traditional Japanese" life in it, as far as I can tell. Simplicity, function, beauty. It's all there. I salute you.
He has a lot for a small space. He seem to love it and has a lot of energy.
Thank you Bob another great video. Stephen looks great for 72 and I love his set up.
I'm 67 and going to get a tiny home eventually. Not sure if I will be a nomad. I too didn't have the savings for retirement. Also please tell him that you can put bacon on a ceramic plate in microwave. Zap it one minute at a time until its like you want. It comes out wonderful and crispy. About 3 to 4 minutes of zapping. 😊
Most people end up with a tiny home ! Full time RVing can get exhausting and expensive! I did the tiny home first 26 years ago ! I go out weeks or months camping at SP , COE parks . Nice to have the tiny home base ! Good luck! 👍
A great setup! I retired at 66 about a year ago and love it. I'm building out a Ford E250 and I'm looking forward to hitting the road.
I was at the 2022 RTR and I'm heading to the 2025 RTR. I hope that we cross paths in AZ.
Safe travels to all.
Headed out next week to see the country and find peace after many years of psychological torment. Please keep the positive motivation coming. It is giving hope to so many that may have given up otherwise. 🇺🇲🌞
I love that he calls that his shoe box, thats what I call my trailer. Mine is a 16 foot utility trailer and I built a 6w x 8L x 6 H box on the trailer. The back half is the outdoor shower, freezer, tool box and kind of a porch. Great video.
Use a plastic milk crate to put propane tanks in to keep them from tipping over if you are transporting them. Love the ryobi tool set up.
I love his excitement and enthusiasm! I now his feeling of thrill! I am now 62 and feel the same way Stephen does. I'm in my Triton 1999 E150! It's awesome and freeing. Love IT! I'm going to sub to his channel also! Ty Bob for sharing this young man's set up! God sped and peace in your safe travels to both of you!
Hey Bob, You're still cranking out the good vids. Thanks!
This lifestyle will keep you young. Good job Bob & Steve!
Happy Trails!
The government is getting more strict about enforcing the 14 day camping limit
There is always quartz Arizona.
Love his enthusiasm and excitement over his excellent little setup and his wonderful adventure he is having. 🙂
What a fantastic interview Bob! I'd love to meet this gentleman & pick his brain & chat...what an interesting, positive, & inspiring person!
His excitement is coming through the TV. I'm so happy for your next adventures, and congratulations on your retirement.
What an enthusiastic man! Great setup 👍 Happy retirement Steve and many more glorious camping adventures! 😊
Stephen sure loves him some Stephen. Hehehe.
Good for him, I wish I liked myself as much as he does himself. Get out there and own the road Stephen, I believe you're a good man.
Great video, thanks for sharing ❤️😊 Great set up ❤😊 Safe travels ❤😊 Congratulations on your retirement 🎉🎊🥳
Wow I really love his happiness and enthusiasm and that he found the right home on wheels fit for him!!!
This is a very organized gentleman, lots of great ideas in this video thank you for sharing !
He is excited , he seems genuinely happy , good for him !
Good morning Cody and also Bob.
great interview bob. stephen is so positive and has all bases covered with his Nucamp. thanks for making this video. another gem.
You have such a positive happy personality 😊stay safe ✌🏾
Steve needs to be around people he loves to talk and he has a great set up
What a neat guy! Sure doesn’t look 72!!
Good interview. I can relate to Steve's situation. This is giving me food for thought for my own, on the road, camping full time set up. Thank you to both of you!!
I would like more of a back story on how a 70-year-old man couldn’t afford that small trailer. Especially how articulate this man is.. It is food for inspiration indeed to take life at a different pace
Great little setup! Love the attitude & camper
I love this guy’s excitement! 😂🎉
This made me absolutely smile - love the set up & enthusiasm ❤ And Bob - you’re a most inspiring person ❤️ thank you :)
Excellent attitude. Useful ideas. I nominate him for mayor!
This guy was awesome!!!!
Thank you for bringing him to us!!!
That thing so nice for how small it looks awesome
Man enjoys his coffee! :D
He's living the dream. I love it. Congrats. That's a great set up. I am looking for something similar. Your age tells me it's never too late. I just got involuntarily booted from the rat race and u couldn't be happier.
I just did the same thing, sold the house in Florida, drove to Arizona in a minivan and 3 weeks ago bought a little guy mini max!!! Anyone can do this!
Don’t blame anyone for leaving Florida. Been in Florida for 10 years taking care of my parents. Dad is gone. Mom is 92. Only reason I’m still in Florida. When my responsibilities are finished I’m gonna sell out and go back to the hills of Kentucky.
Love this guy! God bless and safe travels
There's something in the cadence of his voice that is similar to Bob's in my opinion. I'm glad he's able to find a solution to homelessness ❤
Edit: He looks absolutely amazing for 72. He could easily pass for 50s.
I thought the same thing similar to bobs voice lol so he isnnot homeless right ?
What an interesting man. Love all his gadgets!
Steven could have his own show! Very engaging & knowledgeable guy. I’ll definitely be following him. ❤
I have the largest TAB 400. He forgot to tell you, that once he gets the cabin heated up with his gas heater, then the TAB Alde heater can take over from there. I usually turn on the Alde heater, ahead of time, but I suppose if you are boondocking you want to save on your camper’s power. I don’t boondock, so I use a little electric heater that only takes 10 min to heat up my much larger TAB 400. Great video! More and more people are joining the NuCamp family! Their campers may cost more, but they are made so much better than most and they are really easy to live in!
Do you happen to know the name of that small portable heater he showed and said would make a great tent camping heater?
I used to have an XTerra and a T@B back in the day. Now I'm following this channel planning my nomadic retirement. I've looked at so many versions of vans, but this video reminded me about the T@B and how much I liked being able to unhook and drive. I see another strong SUV and T@B in my future..... I just turned 60.... soon!!!
This guy's got it goin on!
Bob...you are just the best....and I love the way you let people talk. I just saw "Nomadland"... loved you in that too.
Great set up!! Congratulations! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Welcome to the NuCamp family!! I have a 2016 320S T@bitha model. Your great organizational mind has created a convenient setup! Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations to this fellow!
Always good to see you Bob and meet the people you have inspired along the way. I have been involved with Ukraine and it takes a lot of this old keyboard warrior's time, but being a stoke survivor I had not noticed your bell had turned off. So I know you have been busy and I will try to catch up. I remember when you started out and I'm very proud of you for turning those lemons into lemonade and then sharing your acquired knowledge with others. Glad to see nothing has detoured you from your path. As always thanks Bob.
Talk about organization and preparedness!!
I'm very impressed with the room in his RV 😊
This guy has a great outlook, I wish him happy trails!
