@MrSexoda2 күн бұрын
Enjoy watching things like this. It gives me ideas. Me and my severely disabled wheelchair bound wife have been living for over 5 years in a tiny 15 foot long camper. I made a fold out ramp for her with a matching 44 inch wide door.....extra width for when we get snow. I built a hoyer lift to get her into the bed, toilet, and her powered wheelchair. We also have a mini washing machine that we couldn't live without. Dual small sink, 5 cu ft fridge( wished it could be bigger but no room), microwave , tv , 3 burner stove with oven and small window AC.....oven door is our table when oven isn't used( most cooking is outside on fire or a portable propane 2 burner stove. Also have an awning that can but put on either side of camper( we camp in primitive sights and never know how we can park). Solar powered with 6 agm 12 volt wheelchair batteries ( rotate 2 out each year with the old ones out of her wheelchair). Only have 100 watt solar though which has worked out ok but 200 would be much better for bad weather days. Only 40 gallon fresh water which I pretty much only use to wash dishes with. We have been comfortable down to minus 10 f. Learning ways to make it work with only me doing all the work plus caring for my wife was quite challenging at first. My wife can't do even the simplest of things like feeding herself...but we survive and get to go different places and see things....far better than sitting in a house we couldn't possibly afford and doing nothing all the time.

The door inside the rollout is brilliant and secure! I may copy this for my electric campervan (delivery van conversion). Where is the ventilation for your electrical under couch? Basic, simple, got the job done. Can improve when bored from living life to the fullest. Awesome. Wondering the date clearly indicates your lifestyle priorities are ideal!

I’m not a fan of swimming in that water. I do not swim in it at all. I do like to look at it from about 30 feet away. Not interested in eating any of the fish out of the water just because of how close of vicinity the steelmills And the BP refinery are to the water. I really don’t fish much in the area. I do all of my fishing down in Florida, which I will be taking a trip very soon to Florida. Thanks a lot and thanks for watching.

That is a really good idea. It is definitely doable. It just takes time and a vision. As long as you have the vision and you can see the end goal you can build anything. You can travel this country and be rent free and stay at every truckstop in this country, and see every part of this country for just the price of fuel and insurance. Live life to the fullest and enjoy. Life is just a book right your own story. Thank you for taking your time to watch this video and to watch this channel.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. I have never in my life seen a five burner stove in a tiny house or in a camper. So I had to be different and I had to do what I haven’t seen before. No, you did not miss anything you did not see an oven. I do have a toaster oven. It is on the shelf on the wall. I didn’t want to take up that much space with an oven that I wouldn’t use that much so I opted for the toaster oven which fit my needs best. Thank you for watching.
