Where does the dog stay during your 12 hour shifts??? 🤭

You're never homeless, and you're mobile. What's not to like? If you're mobile, you'll probably never be without a job. There are opportunities everywhere. good luck.

Enjoyed the interview! I liked that Julie being so honesty...she expressed her joyous sense of adventure tempered with getting to know (and utilize) her tiny home. Good luck Julie in your travels!

I specifically typed in ‘travel nurse living in a van’ I love this idea and it’s a future goal of mine.

I am amazed at how much storage space is in this van. I can appreciate her fear as I too am not mechanically skilled. Congratulations for being so brave to try this adventurous lifestyle. Thank you Chris for sharing this insightful interview.

This is another innovative idea with the Tiny House Tours, this gives viewers i.e. us a new view within a particular sphere of how others live and enjoy life. Great Job Chris and G!!!!!

I am a young nurse whose second passion behind taking care of others is travel. I have been seriously considering travel nursing while embracing the van life. So glad I found this video as I was apprehensive about that lifestyle considering I'm a female. This just goes to show it can be done! Ready to continue following my dreams while embarking on new adventures. Safe travels!

Can't wait to graduate, get some experience, and do this myself!! Pay off those loans alot faster. Love the video!

Great Interview Chris, Julie seems to be very capable and I look forward to more interviews of similar travelers.

as another nurse from STL, who is dying to travel, I can't wait to follow your adventure! good luck and have a blast!

Wonderful home! You go girl....I was a nurse for 34 years and am awed at your lifestyle choice.

Great start to the series! The layout of her Roadtrek is just like my Coachouse. Best of luck, you're going to absolutely love this life. I hope to see you down the road!

My favourite video to date. I like how honest it is and it really is a good advert for van life.

Great video guys! My very first RV was a 1996 Roadtrek 190 Popular on a Dodge Ram chassis, so I can relate to her having the 170! She's in for more fun & excitement than she realizes 👍

Love the new channel, Chris. All the very best to you and G in all of your new endeavors. I'll be watching from your home of Indiana!

She is GREAT, It is so nice to see other people out there with the same sense of adventure I have.

Great interview. Love her van... that will be when I start out. It takes time to get to know your vehicle. Thanks Chris 👍🏻

I wasn't sure what to think of the new format, but now I am intrigued to see how many different types of tiny house tours you produce. Way to go.

I’m an RN and I’ve been work at the same place since I’ve graduated (4.5 years). I’m planning on leaving my job and travelling for 3 months in the summer. I have a travel trailer but I might trade it in for a van or a teardrop. It’s great to see other nurses doing it! Happy travels 😀

Great start to new content. New ideas about tiny homes is always good.

what a genuine person... and a great plan for her with the van!

Awesome! Love the new channels Chris. Great video.

Good luck! My Daughter is a nurse too... she is a BSN and works at a large hospital in the try state area and loves her job!

These solo Van life tours are inspiring to me because this is a dream of mine

Love seeing people down size and realize that you don't need all this "stuff" to live and be happy

Awesome set up from one Nurse to another!

Roadtreks are such great vehicles, although this seemed somewhat cramped. One way to make a small space more livable is to get rid of clutter and get organized.

I had no idea just how expensive those Roadtreks were until I started looking online! Upwards of $30,000 for a 17 year old vehicle. Totally jealous, not going to lie!

I admire your bravery. I’m thinking of following your footsteps

Nice video Julie . Thanks.

I like the format, Chris! Nicely done :D

Hey Travel Nurse I enjoyed the interview because even though your still feeling yourself around in terms of the fit in with the van. From my perspective you were appeared really down to earth which is good to see as you download your lifestyle to others. God go with you on your journey's safe traveling.

You are brave and smart! Good luck with your adventure.

She is independent but like her, I too am scared of 'mechanical' things failing. Unlike you Chris, I would not be able to fix whatever. Great video as always, audio was difficult for me to hear comfortably, I'm not sure if it was her tone of voice or the audio. Thank you for sharing this insight to being a newbie on the road. I know you and G were able to help her with some of your experiences.

Great video Chris I like the direction your channel is going....Great Ideal....

I have a Mercedez Van and thinking go CNA travel through USA ! YOU BRAVE GIRL!

Nice job Chris.

If you’re in Southern California, Trans-Gas Propane (Glendale) is the least expensive to refill tanks. They can help test leaks & gauges as well. Propane is odor-free. A scent is added to protect life. In southern California especially, if anyone sees your dog inside a vehicle alone in hot weather, your windows will definitely get broken by Peta adherents to free the dog and you’ll be cited. Just so you know.... Please make sure that you ensure provisions for A/C for your dog if you’re working 12-hr. shifts. It’s a huge deal in California. Important topic to cover on vlogs...

From poncho to machete in 5 seconds Love her style Keep it up

Love this kind of interview to see how others live and make a home in a tiny space. Hope to see lots more of these in the future ;-)

I think you guys will do well.Just keep them coming.

i loved the video. Julie is a really cool person.

Growing up, I had a best friend who was a girl. I've known her since we were 2. Started school together and would do our homework together. She became a nurse. She married a classmate from High School who became an engineer for Standard Oil. Since she married, she never had to work. Instead, she travels with her husband. They lived in Alaska while he worked on the pipeline, then moved to Scotland. Then they went to China, Argentina and too many other places to name. They finally retired this year to their home in Diamond Bar which they bought when they married.

Awesome interview!Great setup! I haven't de-winterized mine yet either! I guess that I'll learn from YT how to do it all! I'm a hospice nurse, thinking of becoming a traveling nurse too! Happy trails!!

really good video,only things we really need are shelter,food and water and the heart to travel good luck

my wife and I live on the Central coast near Pismo Beach. we are older but let us know if you need anything if your in our area! we RV in a 5th wheel and love it,. how wonderful you can work and enjoy traveling without retiring! best of luck to you! Randy n Jayme

What a sweetie, good luck and happy travels🙏

I was a traveling nurse for a year and loved it. (Got to live in Hawaii for 3 months) i only quit because i missed my daughter to much but once she graduates high school i want to buy a RV and get back on the road

I love these older American RV vans. The 170 is the perfect size too. Much more character than the newer, narrow slab sided vans. I would swap out the thirsty engine for a newer more efficient engine and maybe do some interior retrofit.

Great interview!

Oh Julie.. what a life you have... I am so jelly.. I guess my hubby had that van years ago and used to take his kids all over the country to run cross country.. I have been watching Van living for quite sometime now and I just retired from 35 years of service from VA Medical Center.. You look like an awesome nurse.. I spent the first weekend in St Joe Missouri with a bunch of people for the eclipse with my hadicapped niece.. She had a nice bed in the back of my Town & country but my bed did not work out and the first night that she made a move I thought someone was outside our van.. First night jitters.. Can't wait to follow your adventures.. Tisha- Topeka Ks.

Very encouraging & inspiring.

FYI, you can take the screw out of that FantasticFan knob to prevent bumping your head on the knob. Just keep the knob close for when you need it.

Impressive! And I saw your full moon dog treats, only treat my girl will eat! I am getting ready to do the same thing, glad to see how much room you have in your 170 that is what I am going for.

High five travel nursing cohort! I’m fixed in Pittsburgh right now, but California Dreaming. Thanks for the video! 👍✌️

You go girl!

Try to think positively. Things will be fine ! Nice van, I live by st. Louis . Good luck !

I've seen a couple of your videos and I think you're awesome.

Don't use velcro. It's annoying to clean around, everything will have to have the same locations of velcro. Use a magnetic or steel plate, you can put kit around the edges so nothing gets underneath, it's easy to clean, anything magnetic will stick to it anywhere. It's a little more expensive, but not really, and a HUGE increase in easy and comfort. Stick magnets in or under anything, or use magnetic stuff, you can get plates, foldable magnetic sheets etc, it's still cheap, and you won't need much.

Nice van and interesting video. Thank you. Life is good.

Yes that's the way to go

I just love the Roadtrek 170, seems like a great girl

Instead of Velcro try shelf gripper it should work well and no need to mess up your work surface

Great job Chris! ☺

Good to see people traveling while they are still young. It may not be 5 star but it more than does the job. Why wait until you have retired! which most of us do.

Be safe and enjoy your adventures. Best regards 👍

Great interview! Liking the change. :)

I am digging this channel.Hope it blows up

We love it!

I like your van very nice best of luck to you peace

Good interview and she has to stop being scared! Don't be scared, just live it girl!!!

Great start with the new channel. She is in the RV I eventually want to get.

Great rig! I felt the SAME way when I bought my motorhome. Guy I bought it from was like, "Don't be scared to just... PRESS BUTTONS" I was like omgggg I'm gonna destroy it

I watch this and I thought it was a very interesting video. a Nurse Nomad is really need in the Nomad world. keep up the good work Chris.

Hi from New Zealand, I am a male registered nurse and have live out of a Van, since 2005. Although, NZ nurses are not as well paid as an American nurse, it's an excellent paid for a single person. NZ high cost of living is the reason I live this way, and I thoroughly enjoyed this gypsy lifestyle. I use to work as a bureau nurse or relief nurse, and I was sent all over the country, covering for nurses on holiday or maternity leave. Living out of a van was cost saving and I got to see my country. Please to know not the only nomadic nurse.

badass. it would be great to hear how it's going with the roadtrek once she gets up to Alaska. i'm still trying to figure out if i want to build or buy an rv...trying to get all the feedback i can on rv's i've been looking into.

I love your style life you livre free and happy, enjoy it.....

Cool...I have the same van .

What a great interview! Her road trek is exactly the type of RV van that I want. Does anybody know how much those can cost? I am also a solo female who would be traveling with my dog, a big black lab.

This is the perfect van!

I need to know what to do winter months in some rural part in New England

Just got a van,I’m a RT gonna start traveling in August! Hope to meet ya sometime!

What an awesome van! I didn't see how it was heated, would she be able to stay in the van in the winter of Alaska? Beautiful van and perfect for her Job and her active lifestyle!

Love her Roadtrek can & something I would love to buy! How much does a 2003 Roadtrek van cost?

thanks for sharing

Pretty cool interview. I feel her fears about messing up a system in the van, as I've had the same thoughts about not wanting to break my new to me home. She's doing it the way I want to when I graduate, only I'll be a traveling lab tech instead of nurse. Would've liked to have heard more about her career, pros and cons of it, how she makes it all work. Not spending much time on that topic seems like an opportunity lost, especially when the thing holding so many people back from traveling full time is giving up their career or figuring out how they'll make $.

Love it!

what do you do with your dog while you are out biking? I ask because I am going to be doing this too but I have 2 dogs and not sure how to handle that. Please, your thoughts.

this is exactly what i am looking for,how much did u pay?????hows the mileage???and how is it on gas,did it need lots of repairs????could u find one for me,i live in canada so its hard to find one like this

Great interview, Chris. You let her talk. You didn't make it all about yourself, like so many other people do. She seemed to be very happy with her life choices. I met a traveling nurse about 30 years ago in Juneau. She lived in a travel trailer, which was very expensive to put on the ferry. A Roadtrek makes more sense if you want to explore Alaska. I think I'd trade that dog in for a chihuahua, though. (Just kidding! That's a HUGE doggy.)

i love your van. p.s. the fan-tastic is your best friend be sure to use it

Very nice video. Can't say the same for anyone who dislikes it and becomes a keyboard princess in their parents' basement, typing negative comments on here.

Isn't it more practical to have a towable home so that you can park the trailer and a trailer park and use the towing truck for mobility between work and the mobile home?

So cool

What about the Dog When u go to work ?

the more Videos i watch of Van or Bus Conversions i am convinced i want to travel so now i have to find a Van or bus? and i don't have the first clue of finding one? ever since my Husband passed away i have shut myself off from everyone and now i am just starting to finish my book and i want to do me and LIVE MY DREAM**** Thank You for showing these Videos :)

So do you work 12 hour shifts? I just wondered do you actually leave your dog in the crate inside the van when you’re at work? Where does your dog stay when you’re working

Congrats!

chris and G are back, where is G and Kobuk, i hope she does well in her new van, i think she will make it, there is a chance i might be in Alaska this summer also, if so i will meet up with you guys in Seward, ill be staying out at Millers if im there..., loved the video....

This is well build
