That's not a trailer. That's a palace on wheels!! Absolutely gorgeous. Lauri has done a remarkable job in transforming a steel box into a wonderful, beautiful, comfortable home. Thank you Lauri for inviting us into your stunning sanctuary!! Shalom and Happy Trails! 🚐💜🌵🐕
When I saw the actual trailer, my mouth dropped. I would have ever known it looks so immaculate on the inside. She did a wonderful job. I would just have to have a slightly bigger refrigerator. Lol
@@laurirohr5364 I like this set-up I don't know how I could design something like this, I would need two twin beds on the end where you have your bed. My wife and I must be able to get up to go to the restroom which I would have in a separate building. The kitchen is ok maybe a small real refrigerator and a small chest type freezer I could incorporate it as one of your cook spaces and have a wood top on the freezer. I don't need a so called stove I can use one of my four butane stoves. I don't remember if you told the size of the trailer. I would put the propane tank outside on the tongue or somewhere else. What I want is to park this on my lot for a winter home in Florida. I know you would need a large truck and I don't have but could rent one. This is cool and I could build it better than an already built trailer. I must have AC. 73
@@lindagoytil4160 - My thoughts as well. Love the spaciousness. I was thinking if I were to do one like that, I'd set up some kind of circular curtain for a little portable shower/tub of some kind.
This was beautiful 💞. When I saw the actual trailer, my mouth dropped. I would have never known it looks so immaculate on the inside. You did a wonderful job. I would just have to have a slightly bigger refrigerator though. 😆 🤣
Nice interview ♡ *I have no idea about your medical condition. But I'll share that I'm learning that parasites are the cause of MANY health issues. Worth researching. 🌼
Please be sure to tell your friend that she can still insulate her trailer but from the bottom so she doesn’t have to tear up her floor! This will help with the cold nights! Good luck everyone! And I like your trailer! ✌️🇨🇦
@@laurirohr5364 I'll ask you here, what do you do for washing dishes..? I thought I may have missed it, getting distracted, so I went thru the video again, when being in the kitchen and the transcript. Pretty darn awesome, Blessings ✨️
In our house we don't use going squirrel... We imagine we're a memory challenged goldfish in a bowl going round and round and round...and at every turn it says..."Oh look, a castle!" So when we go squirrrel we say, "Oh look, a castle!"
I really enjoy the decor and how streamlined Lauri’s space is. But she didn’t throw things in and call it done. It looks and feels like home, and the space!! You could have a dance party in there!!! I really like it. 😁
What a beautiful interview Debra. I just love Laurie she is such a wonderful person and I had the honor of camping next to her for 2 1/2 months out in Quartzsite becoming great friends. I miss you Laurie and I can’t wait till we meet up again. ❤🤗
I'm wanting the same type of freedom I'm a grandmother of 1 and have SSI/DI and traditional living is over rated and will keep you overwhelmed with trying to afford a place to live.Can you point me in the same direction to living without greedy economy. Love your home it's yours and no one has to like it.well said.bless you!!❤❤❤🎉
Hi Kathy! I had to ask myself what was the most important to me then figure out how I could do it. The cargo trailer was what checked off most of my boxes. I agree, conventional living wasn't for me once I went on Soc. Sec. I wanted some living in my life still. This fit the bill & I'm enjoying it! God bless you too.😍 Thank you!
I put the snap down puzzel rubber pieces like they use in childrens rooms...I put down reflective diwn eith the rubber puzzle peices then a big area rug and it is awesome in the winter and come right up for summer. Cheap and easy...😁😁😁
I really like Lori's trailer & she seems like an awesome friend to have. I helped take care of my grandparents that adopted & raised me until they both passed away & now since 2020 I've been taking g care of my birth mother full time, she's a relatively new amputee & recently diagnosed w/Alzheimers-Dementia, & it can certainly drain you emotionally & physically. So I can definitely relate to what Lori has went through.
My mom and dad were married from 1938 until Dad passed in 2005. Mom did ok at first but slowly started showing signs of dementia. Her father and sister had the same and were both angry and difficult. Mom stayed calm and thankful for the care she received from me as her care person for eight years and the wonderful people in the fabulous home she went into after she started falling and needed more care than I was capable of. Mom passed two years ago at 102. I miss her and Dad but know their lives together were full of love and shared hiking and hiking and traveling. I really like the friendship you two have and understanding of the illnesses you both have. Many years of friendship and sharing.
I moved to take care of my mom in her last months then stayed since then to care for my dad. (Almost 94). The biggest blessing is spending time and learning things about his life that I never knew since he was an airline pilot and not home every day. So many adventures I never knew about.
Enjoy you time with your Dad ~ simple, sweet times, doing nothing in particular are memories to cherish. Old photos were fun for my Dad to tell me about & helped him recall things that made him happy.
My grandmother, mother, and uncles had Menaires Disease. Back in the 70s , they removed my grandmother's inner ear. Which helped. But then she was always off balance. And if course could not hear as well. They say I have it. But I can not get on the spin chair. I have vertigo.. I'm so glad to have come across this video..
Hi Torrielynn, Thank you for sharing. I had the surgery to stop the violent attacks too. I wouldn't be able to do this now if I hadnt. I am so sorry to hear you have it as well! Many people have no idea it can happen to them & haven't heard of it. It's horrible. I pray you go into recession😍 God bless!
What a lovely lady inside and out! I love seeing people thrive like she is, even with a TBI, just like you, Debra! Very interesting tour and interview! ♥️🙏🏼🐾🙏🏼♥️
God bless you two ladies. While I wouldn't wish these disabilities on anyone I'm shedding tears of joy and relief because there are at least two other people out there besides myself determined to live joyfully despite these issues. I've wanted to get in the road for so long but didn't believe I could with fibromyalgia. Thanks to you two I now believe I can. Now is the "how.".
I have multiple medical problems, including sleep apnea for which I was able to get the Inspire implant, but I also require supplemental oxygen for a lung disease. I have an autoimmune disease, psoriatic arthritis. I'm 68 but do get out for trips, staying in my little teardrop trailer with kitchen and a tiny bathroom and cassette toilet (I have IBS--toilet is a must!). Last summer I spent a month exploring national parks. Fatigue is a huge issue for me but I just take my time and rest as needed, sometimes a day or two, before moving on. I'm not full-time in it but foresee the day I could be. I'm in Washington state and our gas prices never did go back down much from last summer and gas is again over $5 a gallon so haven't gone far this year. I'd love to relocate but have a great team of doctors around me now. Best wishes to you. You can do it!
Perfect balance between minimal and having it all. Some builds have clean lines but are stark and institutional looking while others look too busy and cluttered. The brink wallpaper, white cabinets, and real bed make it look like a brick and sticks home.
Oh, my heart! If I were able to travel, this home would be my blueprint! So cozy and welcoming, like you both! Your dogs are precious, as well.! An example to many, God bless you! Safe travels! 🙏🦋🙏🦋🙏
Well, shoot! I meant to watch the premiere, but got involved in writing in my journal, and the time escaped me!" This was a wonderful tour of Lauri's home on wheels. It is absolutely amazing! Thank you, Lauri, for sharing your story and time. You look great on camera! Debra, again, an awesome tour! Peace love and hugs to you both.
I've watched several videos from Ken Berry, MD, he and many of his guests say they have seen people with Meniere's disease improve on the keto / carnivore diet. Couldn't hurt to give it a try ❤️
Yes, it could hurt very much to give it a try. Aside from the pain to the animals, you're risking your own health and the planet by contributing to animal agriculture “You, (my meat-eating friends), put your health at risk - that’s your business. But animal-based diets put the land, the water, the air, a society’s collective health, and even our collective pharmaceutical resources at risk. That’s my business. That’s everyone’s business.” - Howard Lyman (former cattle rancher)
I loved your house!!! I must say you look like, talk like, and act like my beloved Aunt that it brought tears to my eyes. I could see her doing the same thing. Unfortunately, I lost her a few years ago and I miss her SO much!! I lost my mom when I was 26 and she became another mom to me. I will be praying for you and your health. Please be careful on the road. God bless you!!!
Dear Debra and sweet Laurie, thank you so much for sharing your stories. 😪 I cant tell you how isolating a injury like this makes us. I have Ttrigeminal Nneuralgia due to an injury in 2005 I was shot with a 22 . mini it's a very tiny bullet and I'm gratefil/lucky I survived. I was shot in the side of my left eye. it's a difficult injury to describe. basically I lost left eye, sense of smell, and taste. Just after being shot i was so happy to be alive, and wanted to be strong and not allow it to impact my kids any more than necessary... I just went on with life.and raising my 2 gkids. 9yrs later my symptoms had gradually gotten worse sensitivity to light, certain tones, buzzing in my ears. I started being quick tempered, etc I knew something was really wrong .... meantime gkids were 13 & 15 and my daughter was wanting to be thier mom... hard as it was ... I let them go with her. I moved 20 min away ... and began seeking a diagnosis. after 2 surgeries to remove bullet fragments ... I was diagnosed with Trigeminal neuralgia which is "progressive" the reason I wanted to reach out to you girls is most support groups I find are more about comiserating and wallowing in the condition. we are so much more! our condition is just our hurdle. we can support one another but we can also encourage one another to keep living keep getting up and out there living our lives. I've probably already saiid too much! thank you so much for all you do! Janette
I’m so sorry for what happened to you. Thank you for sharing. I’m celebrating your strength and courage. Much love and infinite blessings to you and your family. KOKO! (Keep On Keeping On) 🥰
You are both warrior goddesses 😘 thank you for bravely sharing your stories and encouraging others to get off the couch and be brave enough to chase our dreams no matter what because.... If not now, When? Love and Light Janette in San Diego
This is BEAUTIFUL!! It’s just what I want…with the addition of a shower and doors that open in the back for a “garage” area! 😊 She’s done such a lovely job and thanks for sharing!!
I very much enjoyed the conversation. I particularly liked Lauri’s encouragement that if she could do it anyone can. I’m planning to follow your lead and hoping to find your success!
What a wonderful/beautiful home you have your son-in-law did a great job, I love your painting ... if it was for me I would add a recliner (for those afternoon naps) thank you, Lauri, for sharing.
Lauri's home is amazing, it looks so inviting and so much space for a trailer. She has done a great job on decorating, I can see myself living very comfortably in a place like this, love it!
This is so spooky...I've been having what I've called dissociative periods when I check out in times of loud stress. Even eustress which is supposed to be beneficial stress and I've never told anyone. Sometimes people say unkind things to me because I might say something completely off the wall or out of context and I cannot explain it to anyone. Recently, my sister, 20 years my senior passed and I lived with her her last 3 years of her life and she had dementia and cancer...now, her twin is going through it and I do all I can to go be with her for great lengths of time and they raised me so this feels like my raison d'être. It's really changed me. Thank you both for this amazing video and this home you've created is absolutely the right garden in which you can grow and thrive. I'm happy for both of you. 🩵
Sending you love and light. I'm sorry for your loss and all you are dealing with. KOKO NMW ODAT! Keep on keeping on, no matter what, one day at a time. Blessings to you!
I felt a bond with Lauri as she discussed caring for her parents at end of life. I feel exactly as she does. With all that it entails that is difficult the peace you feel that you were blessed to be the one to care for them is very real.
My Dear Sweet Ladies, I know your challenges well. My mother suffered with Minears (sp) disease and had violent episodes of vertigo. I look forward to meeting you two someday. You have given me a stroke survivor hope that it can be done. Y’all are in my prayers.❤
Thank you Lori!!! I so appreciate your sharing. I took care of my Mom in her last year of life. The hsrdest thing I have ever done. I liked her so much, as well as loved her so I miss her. She passed age 68, too young. I have been living in my car for 6 years and my life would be greatly improved if I could get a mobile like yours. It is perfect, everything you need and you have added your own touches beautifully. Thanks for sharing.
All you ladies, and some men, who love to cook, CampChef company makes a great stove/oven for campers and nomads. It can bake a 9 x 13 inch pan, or roast a 12 lb. Turkey. I love mine and use it a lot for biscuits, brownies, cookies and about anything I want. It's reasonably priced at around 200 dollars. I love mine !
Beautiful build! The propane tank needs to be in a sealed box for safety purposes. Propane is deadly. Please encourage Lauri to get a propane detector in addition to a carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. We have to stay safe out on the road.
Ty for your comment, care and concern. Even in very expensive large RVs, the propane tanks are not in sealed boxes. I lived in a van for 5 years before Phoenyx, my current RV of 3 years - a total of 8 years. A sealed box is not necessary but the tank def needs to be secured. We all want to be safe. Thx again for looking out for Lauri! She is awesome.
Thank you for your concern. I do have a mounted carbon monoxide detector and a smoke detector in the trailer. The propane tank is well secured outside of the trailer for travel. When I do use the propane I am well vented by my windows.👍
A absolutely beautiful trailer, she is extremely blessed to have a Son in Law or just someone that is willing to help. It shows her energy and her comfortably in her home. Love it. UK 🇬🇧 part-time car solo female camper
@@authordebradickinson Thank you for response. I am in South West Wales now, but back home tomorrow. Loving the Van. Thank you for the link. Subbed. :-)
What a nice little place to live. And you two’s friendship just glows! That is the kind of kindness that life and live is all about! Thanks for sharing!
Hay Debra, fabulous vlog and Lauri' s tiny home is lovely. I have a small trick for Lauri that will help with her backing up. If you keep your hands on the bottom of the steering wheel it makes it so much easier to steer a trailer when backing up.
Loved it, Debra ! First thing that I noticed was the "CFI" T-shirt. ( Can't Find the Interstate )! I drove for them for a year or so, a while back. Good Company, good folks! The Cargo trailer, and P/U is the way to Geaux!!! Cajun
Excellant interview. I love the openess of her home and how it looks like a little apartment, except a bathroom. I read the other comments so I learned how she accomplishes the shower/bathroom situation. I just love the decor and her kitchen set up.
Debra you have been so loving and down to earth ever since day one when I saw you interviewing with Bob talking about how you burnt your fingers on the metal wall on your van. You are truly an amazing lady and I hope that God fills all of your days with happiness and love. Because you deserve it. 😌
My mom dreamt about living in a bus, but unfortunately, she passed on and never got to make her dream a reality. I have decided I am going to build out a bus, and to see you ladies do so has inspired and excited me to pull the trigger. Be blessed and enjoy all life has to offer.
She can use her chair and the bed can easily be used as a couch bed/day bed. Until I had one built in, here is the link for the folding porta potty I used in my cargo van conversion - amzn.to/3yYbCL2. Lauri does something similar. As you know, I hate the $1000 Nature Head I currently have in Phoenyx - ua-cam.com/video/RWJvGyCk-cU/v-deo.html.
Hi! I use the famous 5 gallon bucket method as my bathroom, & navy shower at the trailer & real shower in town. I use the sit & stores or my bed in the trailer for sitting & relaxing. Thank you so much for your questions 🥰
Great tour Debra What a awesome trailer Lauri has very well-designed the layout is magnificent its the real deal Tiny home on wheels Shout out to Randy The Mobile Traveler he is a man with a good heart and to all that helped Lauri God bless her doing her travels👍👍
Thanks to you both for sharing this lovely trailer. I too love how open it feels - I'm certain that's necessary for both Lauri and the dogs! Throughout watching this I loved all the details you both shared, but my little reptile brain kept waiting for information on how Lauri deals with 'personal hygiene' needs. Perhaps she didn't want to go into that (her choice) but it's absolutely essential for life on the road - or parked up!
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and I understand your question. You are correct ... not everyone wants to show such details in their home and I respect their privacy on that when requested. Lauri has shared in other comments though that she uses the 5 gallon bucket method and Navy shower in the trailer, and also runs into town from time to time for showers. I hope this helps.
This woman lives in a TARDIS! It looks so tiny on the outside and so humongous on the inside. What an amazing build! Thank you so much for including links to all the cool things she has in it. I am going to go down a whole bunch of rabbit holes following all of those! BTW, I have noise sensitivities, too -- typical neuro-diverse/on-the-spectrum kind of stuff. But it can cause me to pull away and self-isolate a lot.
This home on wheels is stunning!!! Such an inspiration! Makes me want to buy a Haulmark and decorate it!!! However, I’m 75, single and on a fixed income 😃. So I love watching your journey and sharing with so many lovely women 💕❤️😍
I have Lupus (silent disability) and have always wanted to live in a travel trailer. This is a nice trailer but it's hard to see how she accomplished some of her build because you're too far back and never zoomed in. It is awesome that Lauri had a builder son, I don't have that, but she place looks fabulous. I will look for other videos, thanks!!!
@chevelleleathers5703 I did zoom in and even show close up pics throughout the video. I'm sorry it didn't work for you though. Maybe hit pause and pinch out on the things your're having trouble seeing? Best wishes.
I took care of my mom at end of her journey. I also understand that its the most fulfilling work i have ever done. I feel that it was a gift and blessing to me. It is the hardest job on earth to do. I felt that I was at the foot of the crucifixion. Deep love, and giving your all. I would do it again. I miss my mom so much. Nothing compares in the world to her. Nothing.
I love your home. I have heard several people say they-used foam board UNDER their floor. they did not want to take away any head room so they secured it the the underneath. I will be praying for both of you ladies. I wish y’all good health and safe travels. God bless you both.
The reds and blues r awesome...I almost bought a retro "RED" FRIDGE to match that picture.. I am yh I nking I am going to make a table out of it...😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Lauri, I love your fireplace. I'm also electronic & sound sensitive, but not to your extent. The roar in my head at times requires a trip to the bathroom, to run the faucet, I listen to & watch the water. For the light sensitivity I found the neatest glasses with tiny holes. They help block out excessive light plus they assist with astymatism. Had to watch this video 3x to get it all. Keep rolling Lauri.
For pour over coffee, I use an electric tea pot with the long curvy spout. I love it because it automatically shuts off once it boils. I have fallen asleep or gotten distracted too many times with water boiling on the stove, and it was forgotten. It uses less energy! Also, the bottom does not get hot because it's enclosed, so, it can be put on the counter. Something to consider.
Good idea. Thx for sharing! I need to add ... the option of an electric tea pot might not work if boondocking or drydocking - depending on solar power, size of inverter, other power needs, etc. That's why most use pour over coffee from boiling water (on a butane or propane stove) when boondocking or drydocking. But def something to consider. Thx again!
This has changed my mindset on doing this as a single senior lady and the fear of doing this alone… I am so interested and on this video, I’m so greatful for you and not so scary,, I love it!!!
Wow….that is a gorgeous and functional layout. Very open and home-like, and looks so easy to live in (like you don’t have to move too much stuff to reach other stuff).
OMGoodddnesss !! How wonderful 😊 You 2 are traveling Soul Sisters !!! This trailer & truck are amazing & more importantly you both are !! Thank You for the inspiration!! I’m struggling and reinventing my dream .. I just need to get healthy first .. I’m sending you both love Thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤ Live your best lives 🫶🏻✌️😎
What a beautiful home! So well planned and thought out. Using upper cabinets as lower ones is genius! Thank you, Lauri, for sharing this bundle of inspiration.
@Lauri Rohr I love your beautiful home. I am currently a full time caregiver for my mom - she is 86 and has dementia - and giving up my job has been horrible as far as a financial impact. I have been caring for her for several years now and after a while I began wondering "what is going to happen to me?" when this is 'over'? That is when I found CheapRVLiving and a plethora of other sites and videos as well. Anyway, you are doing one of the 2 options that I have been wondering about for myself. (the other is just retiring early and cheaply in Thailand lol). It is so nice to see someone living comfortably in a trailer conversion without having all the complicated systems and all that. Thank you so much for sharing your story, it means a lot to me and gives a lot of encouragement.
Hi Matthew! I understand completely. I was right where you are now. I decided to do this because I had the urge to & it fit me financially once I was on Social Security. It is scary feeling that insecurity when you leave your career to care for a loved one, however we must have faith that the right answer for the future will come to us & be made available to us. One day at a time. Deep breaths. So proud of you! Take care❤️
Lauri's fabulous home is a Haulmark cargo trailer converted to a gorgeous camper. Get to know my friend and get ready to have rig envy. Thank you, Lauri, for the gracious tour and interview!

Where do you go to the bathroom?
I’ve seen hundreds of trailers an rv ‘s. This is by far the most spacious an beautiful one I’ve ever seen it’s totally beautiful 😍
Loved your home.
More views of the entire vehicle please.
Where do you go to the bathroom and how do you shower?
That's not a trailer. That's a palace on wheels!! Absolutely gorgeous. Lauri has done a remarkable job in transforming a steel box into a wonderful, beautiful, comfortable home. Thank you Lauri for inviting us into your stunning sanctuary!! Shalom and Happy Trails! 🚐💜🌵🐕
Thank you for the appreciation! Love that you love it too!❤️
When I saw the actual trailer, my mouth dropped. I would have ever known it looks so immaculate on the inside. She did a wonderful job. I would just have to have a slightly bigger refrigerator. Lol
@@laurirohr5364 I like this set-up I don't know how I could design something like this, I would need two twin beds on the end where you have your bed. My wife and I must be able to get up to go to the restroom which I would have in a separate building. The kitchen is ok maybe a small real refrigerator and a small chest type freezer I could incorporate it as one of your cook spaces and have a wood top on the freezer. I don't need a so called stove I can use one of my four butane stoves. I don't remember if you told the size of the trailer. I would put the propane tank outside on the tongue or somewhere else. What I want is to park this on my lot for a winter home in Florida. I know you would need a large truck and I don't have but could rent one. This is cool and I could build it better than an already built trailer. I must have AC. 73
💯💯💯❤️
I couldn't have said it better! This is not a trailer. This is a warm, light filled, and cozy home. Inspirational!!
Omg...the wind is a menace! Made it back in time though. Thank you for touring my home on wheels my Friend!
Absolutely beautiful. My only question: toilet and shower?
@@lindagoytil4160 - My thoughts as well. Love the spaciousness. I was thinking if I were to do one like that, I'd set up some kind of circular curtain for a little portable shower/tub of some kind.
This was beautiful 💞. When I saw the actual trailer, my mouth dropped. I would have never known it looks so immaculate on the inside. You did a wonderful job. I would just have to have a slightly bigger refrigerator though. 😆 🤣
Nice interview ♡
*I have no idea about your medical condition. But I'll share that I'm learning that parasites are the cause of MANY health issues. Worth researching. 🌼
Please be sure to tell your friend that she can still insulate her trailer but from the bottom so she doesn’t have to tear up her floor! This will help with the cold nights! Good luck everyone! And I like your trailer! ✌️🇨🇦
Thank you Devin!
I plan to do just that once I'm back home near Home Depot.
@@laurirohr5364 I'll ask you here, what do you do for washing dishes..? I thought I may have missed it, getting distracted, so I went thru the video again, when being in the kitchen and the transcript.
Pretty darn awesome, Blessings ✨️
In our house we don't use going squirrel... We imagine we're a memory challenged goldfish in a bowl going round and round and round...and at every turn it says..."Oh look, a castle!" So when we go squirrrel we say, "Oh look, a castle!"
I really enjoy the decor and how streamlined Lauri’s space is. But she didn’t throw things in and call it done. It looks and feels like home, and the space!! You could have a dance party in there!!! I really like it. 😁
Thank you!
Beautiful and love Lauri. Maybe it was mentioned, does she have a bathroom?❤️🥰
@@patlsmith404 Hi Pat...I use the 5 gallon bucket method & Navy shower in the trailer & also run into town & shower.
Thank you so much!
This is so nice!!!
❤❤😂
What a beautiful interview Debra. I just love Laurie she is such a wonderful person and I had the honor of camping next to her for 2 1/2 months out in Quartzsite becoming great friends. I miss you Laurie and I can’t wait till we meet up again. ❤🤗
Hi there Cheryl!! Thank you so much. Love & miss you girl🥰
Love your cargo trailer!
I'm wanting the same type of freedom I'm a grandmother of 1 and have SSI/DI and traditional living is over rated and will keep you overwhelmed with trying to afford a place to live.Can you point me in the same direction to living without greedy economy. Love your home it's yours and no one has to like it.well said.bless you!!❤❤❤🎉
Hi Kathy!
I had to ask myself what was the most important to me then figure out how I could do it.
The cargo trailer was what checked off most of my boxes.
I agree, conventional living wasn't for me once I went on Soc. Sec.
I wanted some living in my life still.
This fit the bill & I'm enjoying it!
God bless you too.😍 Thank you!
I put the snap down puzzel rubber pieces like they use in childrens rooms...I put down reflective diwn eith the rubber puzzle peices then a big area rug and it is awesome in the winter and come right up for summer. Cheap and easy...😁😁😁
I really like Lori's trailer & she seems like an awesome friend to have. I helped take care of my grandparents that adopted & raised me until they both passed away & now since 2020 I've been taking g care of my birth mother full time, she's a relatively new amputee & recently diagnosed w/Alzheimers-Dementia, & it can certainly drain you emotionally & physically. So I can definitely relate to what Lori has went through.
Hi Ondrea....you are their earth Angel honey. Know that! I'm sending you prayers for strength & peace. Thank you!❤️
My mom and dad were married from 1938 until Dad passed in 2005. Mom did ok at first but slowly started showing signs of dementia. Her father and sister had the same and were both angry and difficult. Mom stayed calm and thankful for the care she received from me as her care person for eight years and the wonderful people in the fabulous home she went into after she started falling and needed more care than I was capable of. Mom passed two years ago at 102. I miss her and Dad but know their lives together were full of love and shared hiking and hiking and traveling. I really like the friendship you two have and understanding of the illnesses you both have. Many years of friendship and sharing.
Blessings to you! And thank you for sharing the wonderful memories of your parents. HugZ!
I moved to take care of my mom in her last months then stayed since then to care for my dad. (Almost 94). The biggest blessing is spending time and learning things about his life that I never knew since he was an airline pilot and not home every day. So many adventures I never knew about.
Hi Patti...you are giving him the greatest gift by being there with him.
My Dad was an Air force Pilot!
Small world.
Thank you & God bless❤️
Enjoy you time with your Dad ~ simple, sweet times, doing nothing in particular are memories to cherish. Old photos were fun for my Dad to tell me about & helped him recall things that made him happy.
My grandmother, mother, and uncles had Menaires Disease. Back in the 70s , they removed my grandmother's inner ear. Which helped. But then she was always off balance. And if course could not hear as well. They say I have it. But I can not get on the spin chair. I have vertigo.. I'm so glad to have come across this video..
Hi Torrielynn,
Thank you for sharing.
I had the surgery to stop the violent attacks too.
I wouldn't be able to do this now if I hadnt.
I am so sorry to hear you have it as well!
Many people have no idea it can happen to them & haven't heard of it. It's horrible.
I pray you go into recession😍
God bless!
What a lovely lady inside and out! I love seeing people thrive like she is, even with a TBI, just like you, Debra! Very interesting tour and interview! ♥️🙏🏼🐾🙏🏼♥️
Thank you Judy!
Looks like something out of a magazine 😲. Thanks for sharing your space and your story! 😊
Such kind words, thank you!
Love getting the background relationship too!
Thank you Sally! Safe travels my Friend❤️
@@laurirohr5364 Likewise!
THE BEST BUILD I HAVE EVER SEEN IN A CARGO TRAILER NO LIE
Agreed! :))
God bless you two ladies. While I wouldn't wish these disabilities on anyone I'm shedding tears of joy and relief because there are at least two other people out there besides myself determined to live joyfully despite these issues. I've wanted to get in the road for so long but didn't believe I could with fibromyalgia. Thanks to you two I now believe I can. Now is the "how.".
I have multiple medical problems, including sleep apnea for which I was able to get the Inspire implant, but I also require supplemental oxygen for a lung disease. I have an autoimmune disease, psoriatic arthritis. I'm 68 but do get out for trips, staying in my little teardrop trailer with kitchen and a tiny bathroom and cassette toilet (I have IBS--toilet is a must!).
Last summer I spent a month exploring national parks. Fatigue is a huge issue for me but I just take my time and rest as needed, sometimes a day or two, before moving on. I'm not full-time in it but foresee the day I could be.
I'm in Washington state and our gas prices never did go back down much from last summer and gas is again over $5 a gallon so haven't gone far this year. I'd love to relocate but have a great team of doctors around me now.
Best wishes to you. You can do it!
@stacyeisner441 you've got this! KOKO!
Perfect balance between minimal and having it all. Some builds have clean lines but are stark and institutional looking while others look too busy and cluttered. The brink wallpaper, white cabinets, and real bed make it look like a brick and sticks home.
What a lovely lady with exquisite taste….her “home” is wonderful!!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for this shoutout to Lauri and her home! 😍
I really enjoy her energy. No one tells her no! She will find a way if there is one. Love a women like that! Safe travels!
Lauri is awesome! Thanks for sharing. 😍
Oh, my heart! If I were able to travel, this home would be my blueprint! So cozy and welcoming, like you both! Your dogs are precious, as well.! An example to many, God bless you! Safe travels! 🙏🦋🙏🦋🙏
Well, shoot! I meant to watch the premiere, but got involved in writing in my journal, and the time escaped me!" This was a wonderful tour of Lauri's home on wheels. It is absolutely amazing! Thank you, Lauri, for sharing your story and time. You look great on camera! Debra, again, an awesome tour! Peace love and hugs to you both.
Aww..thanks Dubs! 🥰
@@laurirohr5364 you are truly welcome 😊
I've watched several videos from Ken Berry, MD, he and many of his guests say they have seen people with Meniere's disease improve on the keto / carnivore diet. Couldn't hurt to give it a try ❤️
Hi!
I do Keto, although on this trip I haven't been good about staying on it.
I agree, I feel much better when I'm clean Keto.
Thank you for sharing.
Yes, it could hurt very much to give it a try. Aside from the pain to the animals, you're risking your own health and the planet by contributing to animal agriculture
“You, (my meat-eating friends), put your health at risk - that’s your business. But animal-based diets put the land, the water, the air, a society’s collective health, and even our collective pharmaceutical resources at risk. That’s my business. That’s everyone’s business.”
- Howard Lyman
(former cattle rancher)
There are new studies that indicate salicylates allergy (aspirin and salicylate in foods) that can cause tinnitus or Meniere's syndrome.
I can believe that. Salt really sets it off as well. Thank you!
Lauri's home is cozy, comfortable, and welcoming! ❤😊
I loved your house!!! I must say you look like, talk like, and act like my beloved Aunt that it brought tears to my eyes. I could see her doing the same thing. Unfortunately, I lost her a few years ago and I miss her SO much!! I lost my mom when I was 26 and she became another mom to me. I will be praying for you and your health. Please be careful on the road. God bless you!!!
Thank you for this shout out to Lauri. I'm sorry for your losses. Blessings to you! 🥰
Dear Debra and sweet Laurie, thank you so much for sharing your stories. 😪
I cant tell you how isolating a injury like this makes us.
I have Ttrigeminal Nneuralgia due to an injury in 2005 I was shot with a 22 . mini it's a very tiny bullet and I'm gratefil/lucky I survived. I was shot in the side of my left eye. it's a difficult injury to describe.
basically I lost left eye, sense of smell, and taste.
Just after being shot i was so happy to be alive, and wanted to be strong and not allow it to impact my kids any more than necessary... I just went on with life.and raising my 2 gkids.
9yrs later my symptoms had gradually gotten worse
sensitivity to light, certain tones, buzzing in my ears. I started being quick tempered, etc
I knew something was really wrong ....
meantime gkids were 13 & 15 and my daughter was wanting to be thier mom... hard as it was ... I let them go with her.
I moved 20 min away ... and began seeking a diagnosis.
after 2 surgeries to remove bullet fragments ... I was diagnosed with Trigeminal neuralgia which is "progressive"
the reason I wanted to reach out to you girls is most support groups I find are more about comiserating and wallowing in the condition.
we are so much more!
our condition is just our hurdle.
we can support one another
but we can also encourage one another to keep living
keep getting up and out there living our lives.
I've probably already saiid too much!
thank you so much for all you do!
Janette
I’m so sorry for what happened to you. Thank you for sharing. I’m celebrating your strength and courage. Much love and infinite blessings to you and your family. KOKO! (Keep On Keeping On) 🥰
You are a warrior Janette! I both feel your pain & celebrate your individuality.
Thank you for sharing with us all & take care🥰
You are both warrior goddesses 😘 thank you for bravely sharing your stories and encouraging others to get off the couch and be brave enough to chase our dreams no matter what because....
If not now, When?

Laurie did a GREAT job on her Cargo Trailer build 😉👌👍👍👍👍 "Thank you" both for sharing it with us all .....
Thank you for this shout out to her! :))
This is BEAUTIFUL!! It’s just what I want…with the addition of a shower and doors that open in the back for a “garage” area! 😊 She’s done such a lovely job and thanks for sharing!!
Your addition ideas sound fabulous. Best wishes!
I very much enjoyed the conversation. I particularly liked Lauri’s encouragement that if she could do it anyone can. I’m planning to follow your lead and hoping to find your success!
What a wonderful/beautiful home you have your son-in-law did a great job, I love your painting ... if it was for me I would add a recliner (for those afternoon naps) thank you, Lauri, for sharing.
A recliner sounds wonderful
So do naps!😀
Thank you!
What a lovely couple of ladies and a beautiful home!
🥰
Lauri's home is amazing, it looks so inviting and so much space for a trailer. She has done a great job on decorating, I can see myself living very comfortably in a place like this, love it!
Thank you for your kind comments ❤️
Absolutly love this so Gorgeous ,how do you feel with being inside at night ? Woulld love to know more
This is so spooky...I've been having what I've called dissociative periods when I check out in times of loud stress. Even eustress which is supposed to be beneficial stress and I've never told anyone. Sometimes people say unkind things to me because I might say something completely off the wall or out of context and I cannot explain it to anyone. Recently, my sister, 20 years my senior passed and I lived with her her last 3 years of her life and she had dementia and cancer...now, her twin is going through it and I do all I can to go be with her for great lengths of time and they raised me so this feels like my raison d'être. It's really changed me. Thank you both for this amazing video and this home you've created is absolutely the right garden in which you can grow and thrive. I'm happy for both of you. 🩵
Sending you love and light. I'm sorry for your loss and all you are dealing with. KOKO NMW ODAT! Keep on keeping on, no matter what, one day at a time. Blessings to you!
I felt a bond with Lauri as she discussed caring for her parents at end of life. I feel exactly as she does. With all that it entails that is difficult the peace you feel that you were blessed to be the one to care for them is very real.
Well said! Thank you for sharing. 🥰
My Dear Sweet Ladies, I know your challenges well. My mother suffered with Minears (sp) disease and had violent episodes of vertigo. I look forward to meeting you two someday. You have given me a stroke survivor hope that it can be done. Y’all are in my prayers.❤
Thank you Judith!
We look forward to meeting you one day as well.😍
Gracious..what an amazing Lady with an warm home on wheels. You both Aspire to Inspire with sharing these silent disabilites. Thanks.
Thank you for the lovely comments😍
Thank you Lori!!! I so appreciate your sharing. I took care of my Mom in her last year of life. The hsrdest thing I have ever done. I liked her so much, as well as loved her so I miss her. She passed age 68, too young. I have been living in my car for 6 years and my life would be greatly improved if I could get a mobile like yours. It is perfect, everything you need and you have added your own touches beautifully. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings to you! I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for the kind words to Lauri. You two earned angel wings. 🥰
All you ladies, and some men, who love to cook, CampChef company makes a great stove/oven for campers and nomads. It can bake a 9 x 13 inch pan, or roast a 12 lb. Turkey. I love mine and use it a lot for biscuits, brownies, cookies and about anything I want.
It's reasonably priced at around 200 dollars. I love mine !
Great info Duane, thank you!
This is beautiful. Looks homey and doesn’t look closed in like some of them do.
Thank you so much Paula!
Beautiful build! The propane tank needs to be in a sealed box for safety purposes. Propane is deadly. Please encourage Lauri to get a propane detector in addition to a carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. We have to stay safe out on the road.
Ty for your comment, care and concern. Even in very expensive large RVs, the propane tanks are not in sealed boxes. I lived in a van for 5 years before Phoenyx, my current RV of 3 years - a total of 8 years. A sealed box is not necessary but the tank def needs to be secured. We all want to be safe. Thx again for looking out for Lauri! She is awesome.
Thank you for your concern. I do have a mounted carbon monoxide detector and a smoke detector in the trailer.
The propane tank is well secured outside of the trailer for travel.
When I do use the propane I am well vented by my windows.👍
A absolutely beautiful trailer, she is extremely blessed to have a Son in Law or just someone that is willing to help. It shows her energy and her comfortably in her home. Love it. UK 🇬🇧 part-time car solo female camper

Beautiful calming home. Thank you for showing us that a cargo van can turn into a butterfly existence!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hay Debra, fabulous vlog and Lauri' s tiny home is lovely. I have a small trick for Lauri that will help with her backing up. If you keep your hands on the bottom of the steering wheel it makes it so much easier to steer a trailer when backing up.
Thank you Michele!
Loved it, Debra ! First thing that I noticed was the "CFI" T-shirt. ( Can't Find the Interstate )!
I drove for them for a year or so, a while back. Good Company, good folks!

Your home is absolutely beautiful ❤ you've done an incredible job with help from Son n law . It is very homey . Safe Travels ❤️
Thank you so much!
Lori… I love your “ nest” and those pups are adorable
Excellant interview. I love the openess of her home and how it looks like a little apartment, except a bathroom. I read the other comments so I learned how she accomplishes the shower/bathroom situation. I just love the decor and her kitchen set up.
Thank you Rebelgirl! I'm so glad you liked it😀
That’s what I came here looking for as well. I have a friend interested in doing this and wanted to know before I send her this video.
Debra you have been so loving and down to earth ever since day one when I saw you interviewing with Bob talking about how you burnt your fingers on the metal wall on your van. You are truly an amazing lady and I hope that God fills all of your days with happiness and love. Because you deserve it. 😌
This is so kind. Thank you very much! Blessings to you!
My mom dreamt about living in a bus, but unfortunately, she passed on and never got to make her dream a reality. I have decided I am going to build out a bus, and to see you ladies do so has inspired and excited me to pull the trigger. Be blessed and enjoy all life has to offer.
I'm sorry for your loss @aundriachaboya-bc5es. Your travels will be a wonderful tribute to your mother. Best wishes and safe travels. You've got this!
Just gorgeous.
The bathroom? I missed that part. And does she bring the chair in to sit on for movies and reading, etc?
She can use her chair and the bed can easily be used as a couch bed/day bed. Until I had one built in, here is the link for the folding porta potty I used in my cargo van conversion - amzn.to/3yYbCL2. Lauri does something similar. As you know, I hate the $1000 Nature Head I currently have in Phoenyx - ua-cam.com/video/RWJvGyCk-cU/v-deo.html.
Hi! I use the famous 5 gallon bucket method as my bathroom, & navy shower at the trailer & real shower in town.
I use the sit & stores or my bed in the trailer for sitting & relaxing.
Thank you so much for your questions 🥰

Thank you for your wonderful comments! Randy & Leslie were my Earth Angels for certain ❤️
Lauri is such a sweet lady. God bless her.❤
She really is. Blessings to you too! 🥰
Thanks to you both for sharing this lovely trailer. I too love how open it feels - I'm certain that's necessary for both Lauri and the dogs! Throughout watching this I loved all the details you both shared, but my little reptile brain kept waiting for information on how Lauri deals with 'personal hygiene' needs. Perhaps she didn't want to go into that (her choice) but it's absolutely essential for life on the road - or parked up!
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and I understand your question. You are correct ... not everyone wants to show such details in their home and I respect their privacy on that when requested. Lauri has shared in other comments though that she uses the 5 gallon bucket method and Navy shower in the trailer, and also runs into town from time to time for showers. I hope this helps.
@@authordebradickinson Thanks.I personally thoroughly approve of the most simple solutions and down to earth too!
1000th Comment! Woo Hoo! What a brave and independent woman! Thank you for sharing this story friend. Absolutely gorgeous home.
Wow! Probably the most beautiful tiny home camper I’ve ever seen!
This woman lives in a TARDIS! It looks so tiny on the outside and so humongous on the inside. What an amazing build! Thank you so much for including links to all the cool things she has in it. I am going to go down a whole bunch of rabbit holes following all of those! BTW, I have noise sensitivities, too -- typical neuro-diverse/on-the-spectrum kind of stuff. But it can cause me to pull away and self-isolate a lot.
Thank yu for sharing about your noise sensitivity and best wishes to you! "This woman lives in a TARDIS!"
This home on wheels is stunning!!! Such an inspiration! Makes me want to buy a Haulmark and decorate it!!! However, I’m 75, single and on a fixed income 😃. So I love watching your journey and sharing with so many lovely women 💕❤️😍
Thank you Penny! You can be my vicarious sidekick on my Nomad journey❤️
wow, literally like a tiny home on the road. Does not look like it is a travel vehicle. WELL DONE
Home is where the heart is100%🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏😁👍🌱
I have Lupus (silent disability) and have always wanted to live in a travel trailer. This is a nice trailer but it's hard to see how she accomplished some of her build because you're too far back and never zoomed in. It is awesome that Lauri had a builder son, I don't have that, but she place looks fabulous. I will look for other videos, thanks!!!
@chevelleleathers5703 I did zoom in and even show close up pics throughout the video. I'm sorry it didn't work for you though. Maybe hit pause and pinch out on the things your're having trouble seeing? Best wishes.

Thank you so much!
Lauri, I love your fireplace. I'm also electronic & sound sensitive, but not to your extent. The roar in my head at times requires a trip to the bathroom, to run the faucet, I listen to & watch the water. For the light sensitivity I found the neatest glasses with tiny holes. They help block out excessive light plus they assist with astymatism. Had to watch this video 3x to get it all.
Keep rolling Lauri.
Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you! 🥰💖💯
Lovely in every way!!!
Aww...thank you!
These two ladies are lovely. Best heartfelt wishes.

Never tell me I can't! I think this is my new favorite build! It's just amazing!
Awesome! 😍
Such a lovely interview ladies. Thankyou. ❤
Thank you so much!
For pour over coffee, I use an electric tea pot with the long curvy spout. I love it because it automatically shuts off once it boils. I have fallen asleep or gotten distracted too many times with water boiling on the stove, and it was forgotten. It uses less energy! Also, the bottom does not get hot because it's enclosed, so, it can be put on the counter. Something to consider.
Good idea. Thx for sharing! I need to add ... the option of an electric tea pot might not work if boondocking or drydocking - depending on solar power, size of inverter, other power needs, etc. That's why most use pour over coffee from boiling water (on a butane or propane stove) when boondocking or drydocking. But def something to consider. Thx again!
Looks so much bigger inside wow 👌
It feels bigger when you are in it for sure😃
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your little humble abode ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
It is awesome how large it is on the inside.
Thank you my Friend ❤️
@barbaraconner2920 - It’s large, but it’s missing one _major_ necessity… a place to wash up and use the facilities.
Both of my parents died suddenly never got to say goodbye..God bless her for taking care of her parents..nice rig.👍

@Lauri Rohr I love your beautiful home. I am currently a full time caregiver for my mom - she is 86 and has dementia - and giving up my job has been horrible as far as a financial impact. I have been caring for her for several years now and after a while I began wondering "what is going to happen to me?" when this is 'over'? That is when I found CheapRVLiving and a plethora of other sites and videos as well. Anyway, you are doing one of the 2 options that I have been wondering about for myself. (the other is just retiring early and cheaply in Thailand lol). It is so nice to see someone living comfortably in a trailer conversion without having all the complicated systems and all that. Thank you so much for sharing your story, it means a lot to me and gives a lot of encouragement.
Hi Matthew! I understand completely. I was right where you are now. I decided to do this because I had the urge to & it fit me financially once I was on Social Security. It is scary feeling that insecurity when you leave your career to care for a loved one, however we must have faith that the right answer for the future will come to us & be made available to us.
One day at a time. Deep breaths.
So proud of you! Take care❤️
