Tip regarding showers at truck stops: don’t be shy to ask truck drivers if they have a spare shower to give you. I drove for 7 years and always had so many that I never used them all. (they get a free shower with each fuel purchase)

Great video!!!! From what you have shared, you have gone through a lot. But yet, you’ve got your sobriety and you always make the best of a bad situation. I am from a family of alcoholics that never tried to get sober. So I applaud you. And, as a person that has survived trauma myself, I know how hard it is to keep a positive attitude. You have my deepest admiration and respect.

i lost it all from drugs, i lived in my car for a year which was not that hard for me it was a big oldsmobile, and thats what got me on the road to recovery and i have been sober 21 yrs dec 30, 2023

Im 63 living in my suv and i thank God i have shelter. Praying i find housing. 🙏 i try to make an adventure out of it . ❤

I'm a trucker and shower at Love's exclusively. Take your time. I've been doing this over thirty years and no one has ever tried to chase me out. I usually take an hour or so. I also van dwell whenever I get the chance. Love the channel!

Type of stuff I like to see. You genuinely seem happy. Which I can't say for most people with a house and 500k debt on their head. People need to start realizing life is about bring happy and living on YOUR terms.

Your “home” is full of sweet charm and coziness ! Wonderful!

78 year old watching from England. Lovely to have found your channel and do some armchair travelling with you. Best wishes.

You have such a great disposition! Something simple like putting away clean laundry, cooking & a good storm is delightful! Thanks for sharing with us your life.

Be safe, praying that the lord keep his hands of protection over you🙏

We were told by a trucker that most truckers have loads of points for things like showers and will give you the points you need if you ask.

It looks so cozy in there during the storm. 😊.

Just found your channel tonight. So glad all was good. I drove truck for 14 years. I use to give people my free showers when I didn’t need them. Truckers get free showers when they get 50 gal. Of fuel and don’t always have time to get a shower at that time so they can build up. I was picked up in a tornado and dropped in Oklahoma 2009 in the truck. Thankfully was up right but did mess up my knees. I ended up having to retire and now can’t drive in bad storms I park so glad you parked. I’ve seen to many keep driving and wreck. I’ve had both knees replaced now but almost 70 yrs old now. But still love to travel, we are working on a mini bus so we can travel. Stay safe out there.

I moved out from and away from my fiance, who turned out to be an abusive alcoholic. If you ever need to talk, I am here. I have been out for four years this April. I had a 2 yr order of protection. I would never go back. Will be praying for your safe travels.

Learned alot from you. Love your little home, your laugh and your positivity. Wishing you the best. Stay safe.

That was fun . Felt like I was in the storm too. Stew is perfect on a rainy night.

My husband used to be a trucker and we constantly went OTR with him months at a time, me and the two kids.... i found ur video and found myself missing my truck home and the loves we constantly showered at and did laundry at 😭😭😭 uggg

I don't know if you've heard this before, but if you are under a tornado watch/warning and it starts to hail, run for shelter. I've been through four small tornadoes and it always hails right before they come.

when you smile it lights up the video, keep smiling :)

Your place is adorable. You have definitely made the best of what you have. You’ve made your place so homey. 🥰

Hey Rowan! Gosh, that laundry tip really helped me out! I was racking my brain trying to figure out a way to keep my clothes organized after laundry day. Something so simple, yet a relief. We all need each other. 💜

I love your laugh and how exceptionally happy you are in general. Blessings dear one🌱

Your van decor is adorable

Wow! You’re a brave lady! Glad you’re ok!

... It's really great that you are watching Ryan Hall y'all for your weather. He's good 😊 I lived in my car for 2 years. I feel you. ❤ much love to you 💗 Hoping you stay warm, dry, and safe this winter ❄️

I really enjoyed following along on your experience sheltering from the storm in your van. It was nice to see how cozily you have your interior arranged. The stew you cooked up looked delicious - it's always comforting to have a hot meal during inclement weather. I appreciated that you kept us updated on the storm conditions while sharing your preps. It's clear you took the threat seriously but also maintained a calm and casual demeanor. Thanks for documenting your adventure and stay safe out there!

I don't know why but I love it when I watch youtubers who make delicious meals and then "share" a bite with us watchers. It's just delightful. I can't go anywhere at the moment in my travel trailer but spending time in it just in my driveway is such fun. I know I'm weird, but I cannot wait to get out on the road. Be safe!

I lived in a van for several years and you can usually get a day pass at a gym for less than the Loves shower fee. Plus you get full access to pool, sauna, gym, TV lounge, etc.

I love hiding at the loves truck stops when I’m traveling….there’s cameras on every truck….I feel safe even with the noise, it’s soothing ..they have bathrooms and coffee,gas and snacks,and it’s warm,oh and postcards and souvenirs .👀🇺🇸

I'm in bed watching this blog, In Wales UK. And I'm loveing the Rain sound's as if it's on my Window.

Being freshly showered with a full tummy and just chilling in my van during a FL storm sounds like heaven to me, honestly. The bipolar weather was one of my favorites things about living in FL lol

hi rowan you're such a sweet heart keep up the great videos.

I love your spirit this was my first time seeing your video, Many prayers for you and your journey. Stay safe and strong. ❤

I love Ryan Hall also, he is great. easy to watch/listen to and he is always right.

My first time watching your video. You have a great talking voice. Love the sound of the rain. Take Care.....Subscribed....

Nothing like a good old Florida storm, Ryan does excellent storm coverage.

That’s a really smart way to spend the day, regroup and not get caught being on the highway in a terrible storm!!! 😊

Rowan I don’t know your story I’ve just come across you but I’ve been reading the comments! Just want to say Rowan you are obviously on the right road and so brave takes guts to turn your life around it really does so big hugs Rowan upwards and onwards xx

Thanks for the offer. It looks good.😊 You look very cozy, and thanks for inviting us over for supper. God bless and keep safe. That rain sounds inviting. You should have opened a tin of lentils, or veg and put init it would heighten the taste. P.S. I just LOVE the rain.

If you ask a driver they'll get you a shower.Most of us have free showers.I get people showers all the time.Some will say no but most will help you out.

During a storm you should always park near a building to protect yourself, or near some other RVs. Have lived in Fla most of my life. So glad I just found you. Blessings to you!!

This storm Ripped through our part of Georgia and it was terrifying. I was on edge the whole time because we kept getting tornado warnings. The wind was horrific. Glad you made it through.

Yes first timer...LOL You are BRAVE!!! I did enjoy your video and I love your outlook on everything!!!

Glad the storm wasn't too bad . Enjoy the cooler weather.

You handled that scary storm like a champ! I know I would have been really nervous. Your personality is so sweet and serene, I just had to subscribe to support you and follow your travels.🍃💐🍃

Love you. I stumbled across your channel but ended up staying because your whole persona is calm and very soothing. Thank you so much!

My goodness, she has a beautiful setup. Looks so comfortable as well as beautiful

Your Channel just popped up & I'm glad it did, as you seem like such a Sweet, kind & fun Human! 😆 Your laugh & positive energy are very much infectious, keep that shit up, Girl. Now that I'm a newbie Subscriber I'll have to scroll thru your vids to get your whole "living in your car" story. 😉 Love the cozy decorating btw. God Bless, be SAFE & keep being YOU! 🤗💛

That looks like a really cozy setup! I am a field tech doing various kinds of tech repairs on the road, and I have to say that most Love's and TA (Travel Centers of America) have excellent showers, much like the one you showed. Some of them are just absolutely incredible, and I have to admit that after a particularly long day in the field, I have certainly gotten my 'washing up' part out of the way, and then just spent like 30 minutes just letting the hot water take my aches away. I've never had anyone mad at me about a time limit. Didn't even know there was one! :) I take my camp gear with me and sometimes I'll stay overnights at a KOA for fun, but most of the time I just overnight in the truck at a Love's or something. Everything you need!

Hi Rowan, This is my first time seeing your video. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. It sounds like you have had some ups and downs in your life, and are making great progress moving in a possitive direction. Prayers and possitive attitude that you can do anything. Just keep strong and enjoy the storms, they fascinate me.😊

I love your laugh. It's so refreshing. Keep the videos coming.....

You are a very pleasant person your personality is great.

A tip for the future, when there is a tornado watch and the sky gets dark and it is windy it's best to be in a strong structure. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado is identified on radar or on the ground. Although not likely, you never know if your location will be the unlucky place of the first touch down. Keep an eye on the sky as well as news reports. Your home is very cozy. I think I will try making a shell jar too!

Hi Rowan, good to see you again! Sounds like a good and cozy day in the storm. Shower, laundry and stew! You are great at figuring out different dishes of food. Thanks for your inspiration. Stay safe! 💜

This is the 2nd video of yours that I have watched tonight. The 1st was at the marina with Ruby. I find your laugh infectious and friendly. Your smile and personality are so loving and caring. I am a 55 year old single mother of 3 adult children with families of their own. I was born and raised here in Florida. I've seen some of the most devastating hurricanes ever! But I love the storms! I don't like the destruction and aftermath. But the storm itself is calming and beautiful. I wish you the best of luck in your travels and on your beautiful journey. Please keep your doors locked at ALL times and be aware of your surroundings! I love how you have set up your car into such a homey living place! I love how you cook and I admire your strength. Take care and God bless you!❤🙏💫 Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful journey with us!💕

Your Personality is Infectious 🌻

We are all here for you, as you wait out the storm. (Prayers) btw you look so beautiful and refreshed after your shower 😊

Your home is lovely with the decor, the lighting and plants and just everything! It's so pretty and clean looking I love the coziness there in the storm 🥰 I enjoy hearing wind and rain as long as I'm warm and dry inside, lol. Your attention to detail is amazing! I thought it couldn't get better in there but then I saw the French door on your window cover. Holy cow - $19+ for a shower! Yes, it would be worth it to me, too. Especially when I need to wash my hair. Giving you a Thumbs Up and a subscribe! ❤ 👍

That car looks so safe and cozy. There is something about being in a car during heavy rain and being dry. Great channel, now subscribed.

OMG that still looked awesome!!!!!! You looked so cozy riding out that storm, great job!

Those storms can be scary. I am glad you stayed close to shelter just in case. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

Always your videos are thrilling... I dont want to get disturbed by others while watching your video..... Your free style talking and narrating is very much liking.... From Bangalore, India

Thank you for supporting Loves !! My sil and daughter work for corporate.. I love watching you!! ❤

You're car is so cozy! What a beautiful space you have created. I love the seashell jar. You've inspired me to make stew today!

Ryan Hall Y'all rocks! That is definitely who I'd be tuned into if I had to worry about tornadoes and severe weather

You are awesome. I'm doing the same thing you are. Never seem to have any luck with a partner. I'm a Floridian love the storms. Best time to overnight in parking lots are during storms. Nobody wants to get wet.lol.

Everytime I have free time or I feel depressed I come to watch this video and for some reason I just enjoyed watchin this .. u cooking and waiting fr the storm while in van 🚐..

Last scene with the candle so peaceful after the storm ❤

I'm so glad you made it through the storm safely. I live in Arkansas and believe me know all about the tornadoes.

This is my first view of your channel and I subscribed. I loved what you’ve shown and love your place. Looking forward to exploring the rest of your videos and seeing new ones as they come. Wishing you safety, peace and joy! 💜

Just came across your video today. You seem so positive and upbeat. I have been in one tornado so I know it can be scary. One tip I can tell you if you are watching the tornado and it doesn't seem to be moving that means it is coming straight towards you. I learned this from the weather channel. Please stay safe out there.

First time viewer, but I recognized that you were in my town, Auburndale atLove’s. I’m glad you didn’t have to experience a really scary tornado warning. This was a relatively mild storm for us, but it could’ve been so much worse. Glad you rode out the storm in safety! I look firard to following your journey. Stay safe!

Looks like you are cozy and pretty safe in your car! Stay safe!

Great video and I hope your journey goes smoothly and awaits you not being hit with storms and heavy rain.❤

Oh my gosh! You so brave to be wading out the storm in your van/car. As for the many flashes of lightning and thunder I would be scared as I don't like the thunder and lightning but I admire your bravery. Thank God there were no tornadoes near where you were and you were safe. 🙏🏾

Rowan I'm glad you had a safe place during the storm. We get thunderstorms and tornadoes here in Saskatchewan Canada, and that can be scary. I always enjoy seeing your decorative touches...I love the seashell jar and the lantern. Your beef stew sounded yummy!

I love these types of video....your little set-up looks so relaxing and serene Makes weathering out the storm actually kind of fun. Glad you were safe.

I enjoyed your storm video! And I prayed for your safety during the storm and as you travel! God bless!

Thanks for showing us the bathroom/shower space at the truck stop. I've always wondered what they looked like. 😊

I love the ambience in your home on wheels 😊

Hi, just caught your channel. It was a fun day. Kind of exciting, but I love the rain. Your beef stew looked great. I will see you next time… thanks, I enjoyed spending time with you….see you next time…. I’m like a 76 year old grandmother, but I always wanted to travel, can’t do it now, but go a lot of different places with people on here..God Bless and stay safe…..🙋🏻‍♀️🌞😊

Imo, that looks like the coziest wack day. Your car looks incredibly comfortable and all the craziness going on just outside. Im glad your safe. :)

What a nice dinner you had there!, with all the soft lights and the rain drops sound in the roof of the car. Small perfect moments.

Glad you made it through the storm..please Stay SAFE and may you be BLESSED with STABLE housing sooner than later❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have really enjoyed your video!I lived in a RV for about 3 years and used to love hearing rain on the roof! Thanks for your video I am going to follow you and live my adventures through you! God bless and stay safe!!

I can’t imagine how amazing must be to sleep in the rain in such cozy space ❤ ALL THE BEST ALWAYS!

I’m a new subscriber and really enjoyed this video - Im 61 and probably moving into a van this year I cannot afford my rent it’s sad but finding this channel will help me Thank you

That stew looked delicious! You created such a cozy atmosphere with the plants & candles, I love it!

Hi I watched your video for the first time and it was fun. You are a brave soul! Pretty powerful storm and some great lightning pics. I am sure I will be watching more of your videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Cool Beans!!!

I wa a born in NYC. As a Floridian for over 45 years now I applaud you. You are brave! Glad you stayed safe. God be with you

My god that is really thoughtful!! Over here in Australia it's nearly impossible to get a shower, I lived in my car with my 4 children and two friends for 2 months and we found one shower at Lismore NSW but there was nothing more then that most country towns looked empty. You have a good system that will provide for everyone like that. Good luck with your journey stay strong be happy were possible

Hi Rowan. I enjoyed watching your video. You have a calm, pleasant personality which is a blessing to others. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to viewing more of your videos. I pray you remain safe during all your travels. Also, that soup made me hungry! Lol.

I love the sound of rain. It’s good To sleep by🫣🥱😴

I was homeless for 10 years I wish you all the luck in the world I hope you can someday achieve the American dream I know today it is very hard to do that greed lawyers and politicians have made it almost impossible, don’t watch KZfaqr severe storm weather man go to the national weather service you’ll get the best there.
