Tour of a Nomad Living in a Class A RV
Рет қаралды 171,259
7 жыл бұрынIn this video we take a tour inside a beautifully restored 1975 GMC Motorhome. One of the most unusual coaches ever made, it's a real pleasure to see such craftsmanship on display. Especially because of the exceptional remodel they did on it!

I feel like this GMC is what most people are trying to replicate in van builds - it has all the basics, no fluff, just a solid tiny house on wheels.

We had a yellow Glenbrook when I was a kid. One of the best things my dad ever bought. We went everywhere. Damn thing broke down a lot, A LOT, but those trips meant so much to our family. So good to see one.

These vids are making me see a future I could probably afford! At least it could be more interesting than what I'm now doing. It's also enjoyable to have these lovely folks invite me into their homes - & to have you do the talking for me! You have a knack for interviewing & politely asking practical questions. Thanks for being such a good teacher, Bob!

I love the old GMCs! When my dad worked for Thetford back in the 70's he would bring a different motorhome home every couple of weeks in the summer. Me and a couple of friends would stay in them out in the driveway all weekend. Back then the big CB radio craze was in full swing so many, many hours were spent on the radios. Thanks for the great video on my favorite dinosaur!

@christinethemommy6094 6 жыл бұрын
Great video! What a neat dude! I liked the way he described his wife's space. I'm a paper crafter myself and carved out my corner in our home. My husband says the same thing "This is Christine's space, it's what makes her happy". This is exactly what I wanted to see! When and if my hubby & I ever decide to do this, I thought about how I would still be able to craft in a small space. But I see she has her very own desk! Now I can visualize myself crafting while my hubby does his thing.

Bob, great vid. Wish we could have met Donna. Love that she can still enjoy her jewelry making and art on the road. I'm trying to decide what I need in art supplies before I hit the road. Holy crap it's hard to downsize. Love their home. TFS

I'm also an artist/crafter and would have to really downsize on my supplies to do this, but I totally love Donna's craft bench! I also have a husband that understands how much a girl needs to craft and create, lol!

I was thinking the same thing from the minute I saw him. Great RV. A friend of ours had one in the mid 80s. I will always remember the view from the front seat. The first time I sat up front we were driving down the highway. It took me a while to get used to how exposed I felt with that huge windshield in front of me.

I like vintage vehicles more than modern ones. They seem to have character and give off a warm vibe. Bob, do they have to take everything out of bathroom when showering or was there a shower curtain to section off their items? I so look forward to your vids with all the ideas and various cast of characters. I know it's just a small window into everyones lives but most come off so grounded, happy and content. Very inspirational.

When the video first started I was trying to remember where I had seen one of these rigs before... When the gentleman mentioned the movie "Stripes" it hit me. Yes I do remember seeing them in the movie. It makes me happy when people take vintage A Classes like these and turn them into these wonderful homes on wheels. I enjoyed seeing how this couple renovated everything to fit their needs and expanded on their comfort. And windows for days! I think this was probably my most favorite feature of the rig. Thanks for another great interview.

I am so very impressed with this motor home! The floor board counter tops are gorgeous, and I love those stacked wooden bowls that are in Donna's work area. The natural light is so inviting with those windows. I could go on and on. I'm wondering what sort of stenciling product Donna used on the woodwork? It's just gorgeous! The only thing I could do without is the gas mileage. That's a huge amount of power, which I guess is good to have! I had a motor that size in a 74 Trans Am years ago.Wow! I enjoyed this video very much Bob. I just love seeing all the options that are out there. I still have absolutely no idea what I'm going to actually wind up in for my first rig, but I sure am getting an education that is much appreciated as well as entertaining. Thanks as always Bob!!!

When you two were visiting, Mark's voice reminded me of Robert Parnell. He is the guy that played Adam Cartwright on Bonanza. I wish Donna would have been there but that is ok. Tell her hi and thanks for sharing her(their) beautiful home. Happy camping Joyce
