VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Jessy and her cat Moonchi live in her 1978 Dodge Commander. She has been living the nomad life for about 3 years and has no plans of stopping anytime soon. Her desire to live the modern nomad life lead her to write an online book, which is a guide that answers many questions about the lifestyle on the road. She loves sharing her passion with others and even offers to coach people who are thinking about transitioning into this lifestyle over the phone. In addition to her entrepreneurial adventures, Jessy recently renovated her RV and updated the interior and made some much needed mechanic repairs. How awesome is that, right?!! She now has a full bathroom complete with a shower, composting toilet, and plenty of additional storage; a newly designed bedroom with a queen sized bed; and a kitchen that has a full sized refrigerator and oven range. Her tiny home on wheels has practically everything that a traditional home has. With a rig like this, why not go tiny, see the world, and live the adventurous life.
Jessy's thoughts on going tiny, where there is a will, there is a way and don't let fear be the reason you don't go after your dreams. Wishing you all the best on your many adventures to come, Jessy!

It’s refreshing to see people such as yourself to recycle the old rigs that are fully capable of giving you everything you need to go full time. So many van lifers are spending upwards of a month 100k and still don’t have all the features your older recycled rig has to offer. These older rigs are all over waiting for people such as yourself to invest your time and energies and save so so so much money !!

Great job on your RV renovation. You’re doing what a lot of people wish they’d done when younger. You go girl!! Enjoy life but DON’T totally ignore fear. Fear will keep you alive in “stressful” situations! Listen to the little voice inside. When in doubt- don’t!!! Not trying to sound negative, but have a personal protection plan for whatever new situation you are exploring. A sidearm and some training with it would add more safety to whatever you explore. At least some bear spray and/or hornet spray. Unfortunately there are “things” other than bears or hornets that may require its use. Stay safe and pay attention to what’s around you at all times. Good luck 🍀

Wow great interior decorating👍👍. I’ve seen a lot of RVs in the early 90s when I used to do CB/ham radio installations.I used to always recommend that what I see you have.Some heavy duty casters on the back of the RV so it doesn’t scrape off the bumper. If you don’t know 80% of your ability to talk on the CB radio is the Antenna system. I also recommend that you should get yourself a ham radio license so you can use the 2 m repeaters for FM voice chat or phone patch capability when you are out of cell range including talking all around the world if you desire it. I’ve also seen on KZfaq people building Wi-Fi antennas which is I think I must have for an RV /Van life living because you can always find a free hotspot within a mile.

I wish I was braver. I literally have imagined living in a very similar RV. I was camping and traveling almost every summer as an only child back in the day in new mobile homes just like hers. Unfortunately I am a product of my parents and I was raised to plan ahead to avoid "bumps" in the road. My dad hated thinking that our new mobile home would break down so every year he bought a brand new one. I want to be her and just pack my furry kids into a house on wheels and live my true bohemian lifestyle. That's my other persona that nobody knows. She is so brave in so many ways. I got anxious when she said she painted the engine block gold. 😬😯 My mind was racing that something might happen to it because it's that proper engine colour. I wished I could take a pill to get over this perfectionism. Live your BEST LIFE GIRLFRIEND for all your gals that are out here living vicariously through you. We will be here if you need us but when I flap my wings I don't get lift off and I just crash land softly. Maybe one day I'll get my real big girl wings and a new brave heart. Maybe 😏🤞🏼🙏🏼🍀

Can always tell when someone is from the Gen Z bracket. Under educated and still complaining about Baby Boomer generation. 1850: *Built their homes* 1950: *Worked real jobs to Earn their homes* 2020/21: *Complains a 500k home is not handed to them as they find out their Liberal Arts degree counts for squat and their "Career" in KZfaq "Journalism" never took off...* Maybe you should combined 1850 hands on building skills with 1950 work ethics.

It was nice to see this video. It was years ago when you renovated the RV and I saw the video. I was impressed. Great to see you are making this work and the changes you made.

Personallly something seems off. Three years on the road and only 9000 miles? She bought the van with 54 thousand or so miles and the shot of the odometer in this one showed 65 thousand? My wife do overlanding on weekends and put over 35 thousand miles in the same time period. I stumbled on this today watched the first video and this one. Don't think I will be watching any more.

@@paysontom1 Consider this. The cost of gas at 6 miles per gallon . Couple that with her other maintenance & living costs. There is another video where she states she doesn't have the funds to eat out so she cooks for herself close to every time. She appears to have no (permanent) regular occupation (some other ladies living on the road do). She's a minimalist and good for her. It's entirely possible to get away with 10,000 miles in three years time especially with the help of a road bike. She's a 21st century pioneer.

My excuse right now is financial. I’ve already confronted my biggest fear conquered it, being homeless. I thought getting a class c but leaning towards a 5th wheel, travel trailer or a very spacious truck camper. Jessy should start her own videos on KZfaq. Jessy you’re gorgeous on top all of your renovating skills.

I just escaped that life style. Homelessness is not something to be aspired to. It greatly compromises life quality. It should be avoided not sought.

Such a breath of fresh air you are! So many of these rv folks have piles of cash laying around and tour the high places and seem to run from place to place to place. I prefer simple and easy. I am almost set to launch! You are an inspiration to me. I hope you are still out there! Peace!
