In this video, we meet Christine who lives full-time in a Four-Wheel camper on a Toyota pickup. You may be wondering how she can live in such a small space, but she is delighted with the amount of room and comfort it gives her and the many places in the back country it allows her to go. It may be the ideal balance of comfort and mobility.

the one piece of advice i would want to pass on to christine would be to use the 2-chair 'trick' to make your campsite look like there is more than 1 person. otherwise, i love her set up!! it's really wonderful! good luck to you, christine!

I just signed the dotted line on a truck camper and a one ton diesel 4 x 4 last week. Well done Christine! I could have done many RV options but agree with your philosophy of being nimble and enjoying a simpler life in nature... yet still having the basic creature comforts! I'm pushing retirement so good for you for doing this earlier! Smart girl!!! Thanks Bob for sharing inspirational folks like this with us viewers!

I gotta tell ya Bob I'm addicted to watching your videos, bc I really really want to do this, live this way, but try telling my husband he doesn't agree.. Even though we are broke after paying 1000.00 month for rent , cable is 280$ , electric bill 260$ , car insurance, car payment 380$ , credit cards ( I have 5 ) , so when two people are disabled, but not in wheelchairs , we both love camping, no joke, after paying just our bills we are not only broke we are constantly overdrawn too.. I'm tired of it , I'm not happy, I have tons of stuff that doesn't make me happy , he just doesn't like change I guess idk what it is with him. our son and his family live in Florida , we never see him maybe once every two years, we live up north , I'm sick of just sitting here day in day out, so hopefully he'll think about it at least..I told him to get on UTUBE and subscribe to your channel , I told him how much he'll love watching the tours of rigs..still waiting.. we'll see, Thanks so much Bob for giving me the choice of not being stuck in life 😎

This is great - just what I needed. I have been blessed to find in the middle of summer - a Hawk popup for a reasonable price and I can just fit all my necessities in there - clothes, dishes, computer and a few books and got it for the same reasons this great gal did - to be nimble and go places you can't go with other setups. The fact that she is doing what I am getting ready to do is super inspiring. I too want to work out of the camper as a writer. I also have a shower tent - that being the most annoying part of the setup - as I hate to go outside at night to do those necessities, but a class C or a trailer is just not going to work for going onto the back trails! I'm going to see if I can set it up to deal with the cold and stay up North through the cold months.

I love it. Very cozy and clean. Talking about fear at the end- smaller is safer for a solo female than an Airstream trailer. Not only do you have more mobility and can get out faster, but you have access to your cab and don't have to risk going outside if push came to shove. I just had my first solo night in my new-to-me RV, and to be honest, even though I was at a sketchy Walmart, I was too tired to be scared! lol

I had a PU super cab with duel gas tanks and a 8 ft bed camper and no toilet with a portable fold up potty with plastic bags. Worked great for me. When I married my X wanted a 5th wheel so reluctantly traded in my PU camper for it and still to this day I wish I had kept it. I loved it so much and was so easy to go anywhere I chose without incident .

Bob, when you interview people with truck campers, I wish you would ask how often they separate the camper from the truck. What's more difficult breaking camp to run to town/site see with both, or leave the camper and use the truck by itself?

@OldePete 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the reply. What you describe is I kinda what I thought. The idea of setting up camp for like a week and separating (then re-connecting) the camper to use the truck separately seems like too much of a hassle to me; not to mention the stability of the camper sitting on the 4? jacks, with someone moving around inside, plus wind... doesn't seem too practical.

Ever think of the portable five gallon water and self contained toilet with monitor system , easy carry and storable , dump tank very easy , would eliminate the nasty bucket and bag method or those shady restrooms especially at night . Cost factor around one hundred to two hundred dollars , many models to choose from . Nice shower setup , now just get a decent toilet .
