Do it. I sold my house and bought a truck and travel trailer. I've been doing it full time for 16 months, mostly boondocking. I love it!!

Why wait? Do it now while you are healthy.

@@lisad1532 I'm not even healthy and I'm doing it. I have diabetes, degenerative disc disease, a fused spine, and a heart condition. I try to not let it interfere with my life.

@@danceswithbears2521 great job! God bless your name is cute !

I'm 45 and became full-time a year ago. Tons of adventure, new friends, and no regrets!

Funny but generators never bother me. But even a tiny bit of music drives me insane.

@@danceswithbears2521 Same here. That dreadful bump-bump bass.

@@wvevie7612 Yes!!

@@wvevie7612 yes 1,000,000% I hate that cotdam thump thump! I'll take kids playing, generator or airplanes flying over anytime 😂

@@wvevie7612 You can say that again!

@@chapter4travels And an exit plan for when health issues take you off the road.

@@briannab5296 I Winter in the quartzite area generally but can travel anywhere South of that area. As the temperatures rise I migrate towards Flagstaff where generally the highest temperature in the summertime is in the mid nineties. It doesn't get that warm until about 3:00 p.m.And as soon as the Sun sets it cools off too comfortable sleeping temps.

@@briannab5296 Yes, Flagstaff is around 7600' Elevation. Generally Arizona has low humidity except for the monsoon season Late August going into September. In Arizona you can always find comfortable temperatures without traveling anymore then a couple 100 miles. I've done Florida through the summer and I agree it can be plenty uncomfortable. I've also done Arizona In the low elevation in the summer. Hottest I've seen is 126ﾟ. Summer can be brutal here if you don't seek higher elevations but there are plenty of places to go to get away from it.

Now that's a good deal!

wow that is a great save. awesome. lotta amp/hr for 2 batteries

if you don't disgharge them below 80%, they will last a very longtime.

Check out Oasis Firefly Carbon Foam Battery’s you can deplete them 80% TO 100% (AGM) 3500 Times

god bless you dave

@@Palmtreepeace Thanks! I can use all the blessings I can get! You know, my life is always a challenge and I'd love to see the Rocky's from my window when I look out, but all in all the parking lot is a pretty interesting place and I and my dog, Bella have come to calling it home and I know fully well that dispite the down side, dealing with the Social Security Administration and the government's quirkiness I'm better off then a great many people. I try to help other folks where I can and be a good ambassador of the full time RV lifestyle and beyond that, I sort of play it by ear. Life is pretty good for me presently. Thanks for your kind thoughts. God bless you,too!

Dave Silverman i hope you start a video stream too. I’d love to see you and your story and maybe people will pitch in. ❤️

Hi Lisa! I got up, walked little Bella, came in and made coffee, picked up my phone and there you were! No messages today, but your kind and encouraging response to a response I made to Bob Wells. Now, there's a guy with a following! Me, I'm just a guy in a parking lot. I don't travel or do much that most people would think interesting. I go back and fourth between here and my friend's tire shop, play with my dog, cook my meals, etc. I live an extremely quiet life and I have this feeling that if I were to produce videos most people would be bored to tears before they finished the first one. There was a time when I rambled all over the place, playing music in the streets and in bars all over the country, but even the tunes I play aren't in vouge anymore. They went out with the "folk revolution" and most aren't interested anymore. That was more then forty years ago. Since that time I was married and divorced, worked on our family farm (which doesn't exist anymore), did road construction, which led me into this situation and now I'm a full time RVer. Not too exciting, huh? I guess there's more to it then that and looking back it's been a pretty wild ride at times, but now I'm getting somewhat older, (soon I'll be 64) but I've calmed down considerably. Tell me, Lisa what do you do? Are you a traveler living in a motor home? Are you married, have kids? After several of these QSO's back and fourth I have to say that I'm curious. You sound like you're interesting. You're obviously interested in alternative lifestyles and travel. You seem to have a very kind heart, which is awesome. In this world today, while I know there are nice people out there, they're becoming harder to find all the time. What do you do in the way of work, or are you retired as I am? Are you related to Lenny (just kidding!)? You impress me as a thoughtful person, one with interests in common with mine. After all, you are viewing "Cheep RV Living". I live in Raleigh, North Carolina. What part of the country are you in, assuming that you are, in fact in the U.S. These days you never know! I might be corresponding with someone in, say the U.K. or anywhere else for that matter. I'd love to know! Well, at this point I need to confirm my reservation for the weekend at the tire shop and make an appearance and visit with the mechanics for a few minutes. You know, I once worked for that business (as an auto mechanic) and they're like family for me. And there isn't much opportunity for socialization living the way I do these days lol. So, again, thanks for your interest and your kind words and I hope you'll respond again. One can't have too many friends, you know. I hope you have a wonderful day and are blessed in every way conceivable! Take care!

@@LilyGazou Thanks for your vote of confidence! I try! I've been interested in Bob's channel for the last couple of years, with all his good advice and product reviews and the interviews he does are an inspiration, as well. How can a person live the way I do and not be interested in a site called, "Cheep RV Living lol? In any event, thank you for your response and the kindness you've shown me. You must be a very nice lady, yourself! Hope you have the wind at your back and sunny days always!

Taka Yama Can you remember the name of the park?

Jeremy I’ve seen RV parks in Springfield for $200 plus your electric.

Sanna Jo That is much better

Hmmm...Well...Sorry to hear about your dog's drinking problem, I hope the dog isn't a mean drunk...(sorry, I just couldn't resist)... Peace

Danny Lee Ingram great, now I’m singing 🎤 it! 😁🤣😉

@@MissMaisieBelle LOL

Danny Lee Ingram haha I was thinking it

@@fratermus5502 Have no experience personally (or heard specific anecdotal stories); but would assume so. As long as it's done on a regular basis, the generator only needs to be run under load for 15 - 30 minutes so it's more of a nuisance if/when your energy needs are generally lower.

Candance Rivero, does Jim has his own channel?, couldn't find CRVL???

@@ginabrown725 Solar Boondocker on YT but his website is JimInDenver

@@ginabrown725 JimInDenver.com is Jims' website, and he does have Solar Boondocking here on YT as well.

Wind turbines, yay

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thank you Micheal. You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

Back in the day, I started out with a 60 watt panel. That grew to five of the same panels. But then, back-in-the-day, all solar panels were quite expensive. As humble as that 60 watt panel was, it taught me great lessons in power management. Today, I manage on 2.3 KW/hour but those long ago lessons still serve me well. But you are right, Frater Mus, cost is the main factor. What is wonderful about solar is that it can be cumulative - a little today, a bit more tomarrow, further down the road: another unit. It all adds up and in the process, for those of us who make that journy, we gain a little wisdom here, a little bit there, further on down the road ... well, it all adds up! @@fratermus5502
