Over the past month, I went on a cruise, went to Palm Springs, went to the Beach Boardwalk in Santa Monica, spent time in Beverly Hills, and walked along the Walk of the Stars in Hollywood. In Arizona, I watched a guy get shot. None of these events would've been possible if I were still living in my apartment. Because I live in my truck and don't pay rent, I save a fortune. Ohh, and I also published a book.

Howdy. Your channel showed in my feed- I’m so glad. This is my first time watching- lll go back and watch a few more to get your “Origen story” but I sure do like your way of sharing. I live in a 17’ camper- so I agree about liking small places! 😊

Love this video! So helpful to consider expectations and the buy stuff once you are on the road is gold. I did a 3mth unsupported trek with my horse 10 years ago and bought/packed way too much stuff to begin with. Reduced my load by 1/2 in the first two weeks and realised how little I actually needed to be comfortable and keep my horse happy - minimalism = joy! Best time of my life and will remember those lessons when I get on the road again full-time with a vehicle, my doggos and horse.

Congratulations on your 6 month anniversary. What size battery would you recommend to power a CPAP machine? (Four hours per night). Thank you.

@elizabethoffgrid 5 ай бұрын

Good question - it depends on the cpap. My travel one uses 10x less power than my old home one (with heated tube and heated humidifier). What kind of cpap do you have?

@dianealexander315 5 ай бұрын

@@elizabethoffgrid I have a ResMed that I use at home but I’m planning to buy a battery for car life in the near future. But if need be I’ll get a travel CPAP.

Did you see this video I did? Powering Your CPAP Machine in a Vehicle for Road Trips / CarLife / SUVLife / VanLife || Podcast Ep 2 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7WggtV429WneZs.html It depends on how many days you need power (without charging the battery), and the power draw of the cpap. If you’re going to get a travel cpap probably better to just get it so you don’t need a big battery
