I've been a full time RV'er now for over two years and haven't regretted it for a minute. I find life is much richer when it's not quite so full of clutter! Best wishes to you, hope you continue to enjoy the RV lifestyle!

I also live in my RV and have since 1992 except for 4 years between 2000 and 2004 and about a year and a half between 2013 and 2014, I have had about 10 of them all shapes and sizes and they always need work but in this work a day world I believe RV Living is the only way to go, You are on a smaller level a home owner, the rent is less than that of an apartment in most cases and you can pretty much do with it what you want because it is yours, presently I have a 20ft 5th Wheel which I totally love, Just finished patching the roof and fixing a few leaks and it is now good to go.

Mahalo for the tips. I'm in Hawaii at the moment and am seriously considering living in an "RV". I lived in Arizona for seven years and have seen many different models. You seem to have gotten some kind of extreme desire to make that "Life" changing move. I'll review more of your videos in he future. So far it's the best I've seen regarding facing and expecting the challenges that will occur for sure. Thanks again for your efforts!

You remind me of my old girlfriend. We bicycled across Europe for six months, camping out pretty much the whole time, and she was always happy just living an adventure. -- It helped that she liked the rain. You know what a house is, Pippi? An expensive anchor. A home is what you make it. When you live this life, your brain is always engaged in living creatively Your RV is also your canvas. Still listening to your vid but had to scroll down because your dazzling smile was blinding me. Your voice, however, is like candlelight....So, you hack-sawed a mattress? Donnavetta!

How do you deal with the creeps and the endless "compliments" for being a woman out there? edit: Oh, and the endless obvious-stuff advice you didn't ask for? "Wow, a lady in an RV! You're one-of-a-kind--let me smile and stare at you. Well, well. How you liking your RV? You know you gotta check your tire pressure. What you'll want to do is gitcherself an air gauge from Pep Boys. Mmm-hm.... But it's really nice to see a lady such as yourself in an RV.... excuse me while I stare some more."

Some comments are disgusting, if no comments we are not gentlemen. How dare you assume I don't know how to handle my things, can you open this jar? We want equality! can you pay the bill? My woman can do everything on her own, but she knows how to make me feel like a man so when i'm out working i'm thinking of her and come home to make her feel like a woman. And I have seen my share of creep women. Sorry for being ONLY a man.

Gratitude for your amazing sharing Pippi Peterson!!! I underwent through so much loss throughout the last 4 years - divorce, business, father, life inspiration.... and then with moving back to the US after 12 years away, the only doable affordable idea that made sense to restart my life was buying an RV, to downsize, minimize and simplify life this way.... I'm about to close a deal on a Montana 29' 5th wheel by Fri and freaking out about this decision..... I have been on a research rampage for the last 2 weeks and then ----- I came across YOU...... awnnnnn you were my angel !!!!! I can breathe again THANK YOU !! I'm also in SO CA and would like to park in a long term facility specially since I don't have a truck just yet. Just trying to figure my location options at this point. Cheers and congratulations on all that you are and do babydoll !!!!

I find your voice soothing and today I spent twice my normal time in traffic and none of my other videos were relaxing to me, then I saw this video in my feed and thought "That will do the trick". Yep I feel much better now, Thank You! You seem to be a very sweet young lady.

Winter in a camper you will fight condensation. Putting plastic over the inside of the windows helps keep the heat in too. The most important thing is moisture in the closets. Good luck. I live in a 42ft. Park model camper in va. and loving it.

Thanks for sharing this! My hubby and I are over the road truckers. We've learned to live together in a small space & finally put our things in storage in April 2014. We used to live in a loft apartment and found that we were only home for 10 days from January to April. It was a no brainer to save on expenses. Now we are considering getting a small RV we can keep at our company's terminal so that, when we return after 6 weeks on the road, we too can have a place to call home. After all, we're used to a mobile lifestyle and we love it!!!

@TroyFoxxin
@TroyFoxxin 8 лет назад
+Glen Smith Like with RVs, and this one one thing she can do also and even your self are shower heads designed for low pressure and water saving. they will use less water but also make the water harder so more pressure. One thats noteable is the Oxygenics which allot RVers use (this: amzn.com/B00AZOWSJM and a multi option version: amzn.com/B00BC3KSDS ) Those should work wounders RV Life or not. its good for water saving and low pressure.

@cheryldahl9192
@cheryldahl9192 8 лет назад
+Troy Foxxin I have found those "low water pressure" heads just make me take longer to wash - not saving money, water or time in the end. A nice strong pressure, gets me cleaned up fast, and saves time. Either way, I used the same amount of water.

I have to say - you have your priorities so straight and focused- KUDOS to YOU!!! Riding yourself of lifes non-essentials: big house, yard work, living to compete with everyone else.... for what?? Work-work- work- for the money to buy things you (we) don't need and don't really want (but think we do)- like rats on a wheel spinning and going Nowhere. Plus, your so sweet and beautiful- just speaking woman to woman- the whole diva spoiled brat attitude is everywhere and its refreshing to see a strong, smart, beautiful woman who is self-sufficent and can see clearly through what has indoctrinated society. Keep it up!! I admire you and maybe soon someday I will live off-grid too-
@PippiPeterson
@PippiPeterson 10 лет назад

Good video. Thanks for the tour of your RV. As far as your sink is concerned, I've seen a lot of people change out their faucet set to a taller faucet to give you more space. Sort of like the shape of your soap dispenser. I look forward to more vids.

right on your not afraid to get dirty. You're going to be fixing stuff all the time on a motorhome. Even if you're not using it it will break down (Brakes). Plus it loses it's value fast and get's harder and harder to sell. I like the lifestyle but most motorhomes just aren't built well enough for full time living. I'd like to get a big foot rv they're a true four season camper and look like they're built very well. good video, glad you're happy.

We had bathroom odors at one time horrendous, needless to say a friend helped us out with the cleaning regimen, but I also found a little device called a Lil' Stanker. It mounts on the vent pipe for the black tank. Just flip the little micro switch and the 12vdc fan turns and your RV is odorless in seconds.

Pippi you are incredible. I've always been impressed by the women out there that aren't afraid to figure things out and be as self sufficient as possible. You're a fantastic pioneer in this ever changing world. When people finally get tired of the life they've lived for so long and come to grips with what life is really supposed to be about then they'll stop questioning people like us. I so like what you've figured out and hope you'll stop getting the negative and sometimes ridiculous comments on here. You're an inspiration to all those that are scared to step away from the matrix. Thank you... Oh and on a side note I love your artwork.

Thanks for sharing your humble abode. I was enlightened watching this. My wife and I winter in Arizona . First year we lived in a 22 foot Honey class C with bed above . We upgraded last year to a 5th wheel and sold it at the end of winter. We just bought a 31 foot class A bounder much like yours. We rent a spot in Morristown for $200 per month plus elec. People are wonderful. Close to everything we need and want. Im hoping we will not incur lots of expenses. In the previous two years we were quite fortunate that way. We keep our house in Montana for the summer months and rent it out. If anyone reads this that is considering an RV for extended stays, I suggest you DO NOT invest in a brand new unit until you have a chance to try this life style for a season or two. There are many great deals available on very nice used RVs. RVs dont spend a lot of time on the road so the mileage is low. Ours is 15 years old and has 30,000 miles and looks new. If you happen to find someone as pretty as the little lady who made this video to travel with you, then God has blessed you.

I bought an ambulance for work and I am living in that and working from the storage underneath. Its great and was using a van, but the ambulance has really increased my comfort level. My dad has a E350 RV and we take it to football games and having 4 adults in it gets cramped. The ambulance is great for 1 or maybe 2, just sleep at a truck stop and shower at truck stops. I love the freedom.

I find it difficult to ask my guests to take off their shoes but I think anyone who also lives in a motorhome will also take them off! Your house lamps are probably running off 120V - RV lamps will be running on 12V. You are possibly losing a lot of power like that. It is not a problem on hook up but may be when wild camping (boondocking as you call it in the US). Isn't it a problem living with so many other RVers. I like a bit of company, but I think you have got quite a lot!

@VanlifewithAlan
@VanlifewithAlan 10 лет назад
Pamela Peterson Pamela, I have read a great deal on this subject - I generate all my own electricity as I am rarely on hook up so I have got everything on low voltage!
@PippiPeterson
@PippiPeterson 10 лет назад
I'd love to hear more about your own electricity generating. Are you on solar? Did you hook it up yourself or did it come like that? How much do you use a month? I need a bit more than average as I'm working all day long on my computer. As a boondocker, what do you do for internet? Some sort of dongle?
@VanlifewithAlan
@VanlifewithAlan 10 лет назад
Pamela Peterson Pamela, I am on solar - here is a video of my set up : Camper van life : my solar set up I don't know how much I use per month but it is not a lot - I have never run out of electricity. I also work all day on my computer. However you need to buy an inverter which is from 12V to 19V, not 12V to 120V to 19V which is what you will be doing if you are using your regular electricity source. I use a dongle or my telephone modem for my internet, depending on what country I am in. I also have an internet antenna which sometimes catches internet from someone but usually does not. It comes in handy for camping near McDonalds. Here is a video about how I work : My camper van is my office

I owned an older Bounder and lived in it full time for one year. Yes, I had to adjust to it, but it was great. Everything you discussed in this video was right on. I believe the Bounder has more cabinet space in and out than most others.

Yes, it is loaded with great storage and I have lived in my 2000 Bounder 36S since I got it in 2005. I am the 3rd owner and one advantage of buying used besides the price is the.aftermarket equip already installed by previous owners.

One of the reasons people have such a hard time with their black tank is flushing their toilet paper. So I just throw the toilet paper in the trash. There is no need to flush it. And no it wont smell in the trash. Its a curious American habit to flush the toilet paper.

Im at the top of the valley in california and I pay rental space of $240 a month (water and garbage paid) with a fenced in 60'X40' yard. My trailer is a park model with a full front room slide and a full bedroom slide. My next big renovation is a wood burning stove. It gets cold here. Im also looking at solar to help ease PG&E. Ive sealed the roof, fixed the kitchen faucet, and the bathroom toilet so far (knocking on wood!) in 4 years. My next step is buying an acre of land to put the trailer on.

Not sure how that works! I wish they would just leave her alone.

Nice video (tks!) and as someone who has lived in a trailer for over a year, you're tips are good. My industry collapsed in 2008-2012, i lost my home ($700k home so, no one is immune - is my point) and in order to get out of debt, this was my solution. I was fortunate in that i could park my trailer at my work where perhaps few have that option and could hook up power, and sewer (both toook a little doing and i had to hire an electrician friend to make a 30 amp service but, it was not a huge deal and cost a few hundred). The sewer was not a big deal, there was a sewer cleanout behind my office within 30 fee tof where my trailer was parked, i bought the flex sewer line from WalMart and connectors (around $60 or so) and just hooked it up. Anyways, I store my pots n pans in my oven. ;o) Also you can find a good dish dryring rack that fits inside the left side sink and that's really helpful. You can wash dishes, put them in the rack, and then actually wash them in the rack and just let them dry there too! My home of choice is a 30 ft Terry Wilderness (2007) trailer with dual slides (not a 5th wheel, i can tow with my old Excursion). The slides are pretty well a must, if you can afford it (I paid $15k for my trailer, though i feel i overpaid). The advantage of a trailer over an RV is, generally, a lot more room. The con, less storage. Trailers, as u point out, don't always have the outside storage areas. If you have cats, i use the storage under my bed as my cat's "poo-ping palace". I cut a little cat door into the inside, she goes in the storage where her litter tray is located right next to an exterior hatch and keeps that outside and easy access to clean outside. My trailer has a unique layout where it has a bedroom up front, and a small bedroom (bunks) in the rear with a privacy curtain for my daughter. I had to have this layout so my daughter had some semblance of a private space. These layouts are rare and i expect that is why i paid as much as i did but the nice thing is, i own my home, am not wasting it on rent, and am catching up very quickly on my debts. I did not have to file bankruptcy paid every creditor i owe which i am proud of. ANyway, tks again for the video and good luck!

Thanks for the tips! I do have curtains the wrap around the front window area. Are you thinking like something that would attach to the outside of the RV over the front windows.

I'm full time for 3 years in a Class A 1998 Holiday Rambler Endeavor 35 feet on a acre of land with our own well water in a peaceful cul de sac with 3 other homes for only $425 for everything. Today, i put up my 75" x 70" x 24" Swim Center Ocean Reef Pool i'm going to use to relax in during Vegas's hot summer and to also soak my body since we dont have tubs in them, right??. I have LED sensor lights everywhere, even outside i purchased from Ebay. I have 2 awnings on each side, I LOVE THIS LIFE!! Anytime, i have questions, i surf over to rv.net. forum., they are AMAZING! I'll be installing Solar Panels, Laminate wood flooring and a Splendide 2100XC combo washer/dryer within the next year. I get my wifi from the main house on the prop where i have a ALFA antenna USB in my laptop to give me 5 bars since im far from the house,,, the laptop is HDMI to my flat screen tv or i use the tv that came with the rv. That rv tv is connected to the RV huge antenna and my flat screen has a $10 rabbit ear that gets about 30 channels when i switch to tv instead of HDMI. I bought a on sale Oster Stainless Steel Oster Toaster Oven and the rv came with 3 gas burners and a pretty nice fridge. I also really love decorating my shower/dressing room, so much space to me since its only me here. I never put toilet paper in my toilet but in a garbage bag and i always have wet wipes there too but the toilet also came with a spray nozzle that we can clean the toilet or our tussies:) My water is heated electrically and so is my air conditioner. I have a 32 gallon propane tank i fill up about every 4 months . Just dump my grey water today because the water filled up so fast this week where that ODOR, OMG!! so i know what you're talking about! yikes!! I too LOVE the storage underneath, its my garage like yours is!! watching you walk thru was AWESOME because its the same thing i love about my mine, so glad another young lady is doing the same thing i'm doing, if you come to Vegas let me know, okay, you wouldn't believe where i live!

@KenIchikawa
@KenIchikawa 9 лет назад
MrDJICHI Hi MrDJICHI, First thing first is to check out a few RV shows as the season has started. Getting a previous year(s) left over or a good condition used model is the best bet or wait till the late summer and fall as much like automobiles they give huge discounts. The next thing is if your planning a Class A / B / C or a towing camper. I chose the last as our trip consisted of attending a few Automotive and Kart races as I was support staff for a friend who was racing the events. My tow vehicle was my mobile garage / storage but I recently converted 1/2 into a living camper van (after gaining my experience from this cross country travel). But having the tow camper (Jayco Featherlight) was the best for us as I still have my primary van to travel to town and around and the Featherlight trailer was the easy to tow with its low weight making it great on gas mileage and plenty of room with standing shower, kitchen and additional beds if we were to have guests. My biggest recommendation is depending on if you do chose a tow camper and its various weight configurations is getting and budgeting in a proper sway control or weight distribution hitch. This is a safety must and something I would never tow without after towing race trailer to campers (you'll understand when in the great plains or mountains under windy conditions or braking) (Dont forget to add a brake controller as well). As far as the open road and cross country trip... plain and simple Do It =) It was a dream of mine for years and I'm very happy to have done it. Experiencing this great country on our public roads brings a huge dynamic view to fun, experience and relaxation. We traveled the lower states from NJ to Texas then to Vegas to San Diego and back. Met so many awesome people, ate at some of the best spots and saw views that cannot be replicated via TV or the internet. Life time of memories and I hope to one day hit the upper half of the US. Any other questions feel free to ask!

On the subject of the LED lights. You can get the light bulbs in different shades of colors and different hues. The ones she got was most likely bright white which is a harsh blue white light. There is a warm white light that makes it a lot better with warm light. Check out the kind of light that the led that you are purchasing puts out the kind of light that you want.
@PippiPeterson
@PippiPeterson 10 лет назад
Rob Smoot Yes, the ones I got are bright white. That's probably why they were cheaper than the others...$2 versus $5 something.
