In today's video, we meet Gerry who has a converted Ford Transit Connect that she has turned into a wonderful Tiny Home on Wheels--and we do mean TINY!! As she gives us the tour of her home, you will be amazed by how comfortable she has made it and very livable it really is. Let's check it out.

I am reading your book Bob!!! Very inspiring, I am 74 and live in a house, but money is getting tighter and tighter. Your cheap RV living is certainly appealing. I think there's going to be more Senior Citizens that will take your advice. We need a way of surviving and you are certainly giving us some great ideas.

Bob, you're doing amazing things for people. Bringing awareness to Rv living and Van living is giving people who can't afford a traditional way of living and you're teaching them it can be fun and freeing. It's amazing. It's showing people they don't have to chase that traditional way if they don't want to. They can enjoy nature and really it has to be better for ones health. I sure hope when I get my build done that I meet up with you one day.

Gerry is an long time, dear, motorcycling friend. It was great to be surprised by this video as I have been preparing for a year (research, purchasing van and essentials, thinking of layouts, and STILL debating insulation options(!) ) for the sale of my house and move into fulltime vandwelling. I remember seeing Gerry's new Transit at a Club run in MASS years ago and just touched base with her last week when she was visiting in New England. I can't wait to get to an RTR myself and am grateful every day for your videos, Bob. You and Carolyn have been the greatest inspiration and source of information for me. I'll see you on the road one day.

After a trip to the body shop my build will start next week I never built anything but however it looks it will be mine and as long as I'm comfortable that's all I care about.

I loved this interview! Just the smile on this lady's face made me so happy! And such creative ideas. I can't get over the simplicity yet the genius of her set up. I never saw the interview with the gentleman who she bought the cabinets from, but boy, the design is great. In particular I like that cook area that swings out. Just on a piano hinge-and pops right back into place. The price of the attachable storage unit took me by surprise, but upon reflection it is on a hitch and is so well made and durable. It would be nice to be able to score one of those second hand. Bob, thank you so much for another amazing video! Your interviews, especially from RTR, are my favorite videos to watch on You Tube.
