Miss Rowan, I don’t think you realize what an impact you have had on a lot of us! I feel like you are a best friend and we’ve never even met! You are such a ray of sunshine to so many of us! Thank you for always sharing with us! You and Rubs are an absolute joy
Hi Rowan, I have been really down lately, a few health issues and deprezsion (which has been a lifelong problem, but much worse since I lost my daughter to brain cancer at 27) I know watching you and Ruby, on your advemtures in your little home on wheels really cheers me up. I love watching you cook, making jam, picking apples, making little improvements, interacting with Ruby whatever!! Thankyou so much for brightening up my days..You've no idea how much it helps me xxx
And I, for one, am excited for the next steps in your journey!! Thank you for honoring us and taking us along! We are your online support team! @justrowan
Hi Rowan. Here's a thought. Work on getting your land first - and then look for that rig on the used market. You could live between both pads on your land - while saving more assets to build tiny home.
Love your videos! Just be careful if you get a trailer- check w your Honda dealer on the safety of using the Pilot to tow. Check tow capacity. RV dealers are not always truthful.
Hey Rowan, if it makes you happy with what your doing, POWER to you. You have time to keep looking at ALL kinds of tiny homes, so take your time. Make your money first like you want, right behind you on your decisions,yeah, 👌👍🤓💯
Good for you Rowan! I love following you. It’s good to see your following your dreams. My husband said to be careful with the Honda pulling a trailer. Salesman will tell you anything for the sale. Love Ruby’s channel ! Look forward to more door dashing!
You are truly doing great🎉 I remember when u were struggling financially and door dashing. Look how far you have come, girl❤. Take your time. You're doing great ❤❤
You can do it! A tiny home is a great idea and I know you can reach it! You’re right, the van is beautiful but you’re shaking the life out of the contents! Best wishes!❤🇨🇦
I love your Door Dash videos (I love all your videos)! We are all going to be so happy for you when you get your land and tiny home; thanks for bringing us along on your journey!
Hi Rowen, I loved the door dash around Tacoma. My sister lives there, and I live in Wisconsin. I've visited her there once and it's a beautiful place to live. The views are stunning, and there is always something to do if that's your thing. I live on one of the great lakes and also have beautiful views but in a different way. Good luck to you with your new adventures.
Rowan, thank you for the kind words. But really, you provide us with such nice videos, and we are lucky enough too because we get to meet Ruby. Sometimes, when I am overwhelmed, I feel so much better after watching your videos (and Ruby's too). There is something "grounding" and honest in your material, I cannot explain it. As long as you have your channel, I will watch what you share, I will "like" your videos, and comment from time to time. All the best to you Rowan, and thank you for helping me come back down over and over again. You rock. Oh, and, Trailer #2 has my vote.
It's always exciting to think about the future and take steps towards reaching those goals. As a previous RV full-timer my only advice would be to verify the towing capacity of your vehicles yourself. I have found the sales staff of dealerships often overstate the capabilities of what a vehicle can pull. Consider not only the weight of the trailer, but of the additional weight your things add, the weight of gasoline and water. It all adds up quickly. I am all for buying used vehicle. Have it checked Just something to consider. Best of luck and so enjoy your videos.
Rowan is a naturally beautiful woman with the sweetest demeaner. Her cerebral capicity is very stimulating & occupied with primarily positive thoughts that she expresses so well. She is such a darling person...
Cool just Rowan dropped the video. I think I’m the first one going to grab me a cuppa coffee 11:30 AM here in Northern California gonna enjoy her video thank you ma’am you’re awesome.🙏💙☕️
Rowan for me your videos are like visiting with a friend. You totally made me 😭!! I’m so happy for you and your onward and upward journey. Bless you and thank YOU…love to Ruby too!💖🐾🍓
I was in a minivan for 3 years. It was getting older, so I had to sell it. I also had a Equinox and a teardrop. I am now using my Equinox and Teardrop. Little more room. I can use both vehicles to store things. I love it.
Towing with Honda. Check if that’s just trailer empty or full. We were told the same with my husbands F150. But once loaded with water, gray,black tank full his truck had a hard time on hills/mountains pulling. Water will give more weight and your personal stuff on top of it all. Just FYI. We sold ours and just did the Van build ourselves. We also looked into the teardrop. My thing to my husband in case something happens we have to get out of trailer and climb into truck. Minimal places to park overnight.
Yes, be very careful to do your own research when they tell you your present vehicle will do the job. They just want to make a sale. You would likely need a truck to pull a trailer like that.
Wow Rowan that’s great news! Keep exploring what works best for you and Ruby!Thanks for sharing your new wheels with this community! Excited to see the next part of you and Ruby’s journey! Congrats and Best Wishes on this new chapter in your life’s journey!💕👍🐾🐕💐🍁🍂🚐🚗

With my mental health and physical *health* issues, you are one of my best friends. I love you and Ruby. I still miss the dogs I've lost. So I "love on" Ruby through you. I'm not crying, you're crying. Thank you for all you GIVEN of yourself for us in our worlds. I am beyond grateful for you and Ruby. ❤

I made Cinnabon coffee with frosted sugar cookie creamer so I could listen. First sip...now I'm ready to listen...I'm so excited for your next adventure and sharing it with us. Yay!
Hi Rowan and Ruby, I am so happy for you girl and the Rubes as well... Will continue to follow your journey ... How exciting this must be for you. I have never been to Tacoma; I do live in the Tri Cities area of Richland WA. One day I would love to see what Tacoma looks like but now that you are dashing I can see it through your eyes... Safe travels, and again much happiness for you and the Rubes ✌💜😊
Hello Rowan, I have a little history with RVing and I wanted to share what I understand. First there is no right or wrong RV there is only the right RV for you at that time in your life. We have had about all of them at one point or another and each served us for what we were doing at the time. The first thing you have to outline for yourself is what are you doing and how are you going to use it? If you are going to park it on your land when you get it or are you pulling it. Is your land in the North? Can your car really pull it without ruining the transmission? You always want a buffer zone on towing, you don't want to pull max capacity. If you are going to be living in a cold climate you want a four season camper, we currently have an Outdoors RV a higher end one with heated tanks, even still with the slide it is still cold because of the air loss. Your car would not be able to tow an Arctic Fox or an Outdoors RV rig Maybe your Van could Lace is another four season camper. Teardrops I have a love hate relationship with, we owned a CampInn raindrop and I loved that company because it felt like a 50's home build but having to open the counter tops to get into the cabinet was one main reason I was done with it when we sold, My two cents on a tear drop would be I loved cooking outside and it was a great camping rig maybe a trailer version that had an outdoor kitchen and the interior prep area if the weather was bad, a stand up version kinda like a small Canned Ham trailer. If you get a teardrop and it has a rear kitchen make sure the cabinets open like normal kitchen cabinets and in my opinion save the extra cost and there is no need for a sink because I always did my dishes in a basin on a table and I need that counter space for using the burners. I could tell you all the pros and cons of all the "rigs" we owned but I am just going to say if my husband ever wants me to drive the rig again I am the most comfortable in a class C with a van chassie and NOT a Mercedes one I have found I am more comfortable with the heavy duty American Ford or Chevy front end like everything you have to research the model year of the engine and see if there was issues for certain years and avoid those years. Good luck what ever you do.
Rowan, Keep pushing forward. Your dreams are valid and within reach. You surely are a ray of sunshine. You are so good to Rubs and I love watching you.
Seeing as you are a dog lover who picks up pooh you might want to consider finding a neighborhood you feel safe in and putting up Flyers to clean up dog poop in people's yards😮 hands down I have paid every helper that's come up to my property 25.00 an hour to rake and or pick up poo that's mixed in with the sagebrush😮❤ there was a post on Facebook not long ago about some teenage boy that was making a fortune doing just that😮 I smiled and thought of my daddy used to say the easiest fastest way to make money is to do the things that other people don't want to do❤❤❤ happy travels
You can get a class 4 tow hitch on your van, a tow dolly, and tow your Pilot from campground to campground. Then you can have the best of both worlds instead of going into dept with an RV loan. RV's are leaky money pits no matter how nice they look at the moment. With the Tow Dolly option, you can unhitch your Pilot and Door Dash.
Rowan you are just so sweet. Absolutely love watching you and Rubes you are such a joy to watch. So happy for your changes, you go girl, look forward to more of your videos!
I ve got a 4 season camper 25.8 feet. I could drive it with my van. I have built a 21 by 6 deck, and it helped to stabilize it a lot. I found a great small community that is a very affordable lot rent . It is 12 to 15 minutes to the next small towns. 25 to 60 to midsized cities Not flooding area . I have a tiny home in the making. I am very blessed. I just hope my husband will still be here with me. I am so glad you are finding your way through your life, too.
Hi Rowan! I live in a Tiny Home - it's a 399 square foot "park model" home. It's on wheels like a manufactured home and technically we're zoned as RV's but it functions like a Tiny Home. Look into it!
Miss Rowan, you had me smiling through the entire video! So happy for you and your new adventures and good luck with all your future goals!!! Hi Rubs!!!
Rowan, just watching you and Ruby blesses all of us❤ You re one of a kind as far as RU-vidrs and so lovable! Believe me, I will keep you and Rubes in my prayers! Happy New Adventure!!
Hi again Rowan, Saturday morning here about 10 am in Australia. I just enjoyed a leisurely brekky ( breakfast) watching your latest video thank you. YT tends to still send me various videos from the past for you as well as your latest. I have really enjoyed the quiet and peaceful Ruby videos too. I of course realise that your life is not all easy but I have to say, that you make it seem really freeing and wonderful. Seeing you go door dashing, making plans, reuniting with Ruby and exploring your future options has me at 66, really wishing I had taken chances and tried a different way of life when I was younger. Seeing parts of the world through your eyes is also fun. Another content creator but newer to it all, is Birdie from Wayward Abode who was recently in that same area I think. I enjoy watching and laughing along with both of you. Your giggle makes me smile. Go well, Rowan, stay healthy and enjoy this time of your life. I hope everyone in your world is doing well. Enjoy your weekend when it comes around. 😍🐷🐓🕸🍮 Happy Halloween if you celebrate that too. Very very low key here.
My week is now complete! Tues with the vivacious Ruby and Fri with the charming, hard working and delightful Rowan. Planning for a change has always been fun for me and I always look forward to new adventures. You are an intelligent and caring person Rowan. Whatever life you decide live, I'm sure you will choose what is best for you, Ruby...and maybe even Meowsers if you decide to go permanent. Looking forward to tagging along with you on your newest life's journey. Be safe and God speed. 🍓❤
Dear, dear Rown, my heart opens when you talk to us from your heart. Loved this video and blessings on your next steps and on your Door Dashing. Was wonderful to see your excitement and I feel privileged to join you on your journey by watching your videos. Sending lots of blessings and love. I appreciate YOU!!! 🎉🎉🎉
So excited for you and your verbal vision board. I have always loved tiny homes. It think it will be perfect for you and Ruby when it is the right time. Look forward to your door dash videos.
I love the gratitude & vulnerability you share Rowan. Did you notice there was a crow 🐦⬛ flying behind you in the sandwich scene, and then again while dashing? Love em! 🖤🤍 Hugs to Ruby Rubes!
Remember..a tiny home with land is what you have thought of....an RV is nice but as they say a trailer is a trailer where a tiny home is built more like a home sturdier.....
Thank you..I don't send you messages..but I love what you are doing and Ruby..you have gotten me through a very difficult time..I lost my son..and honestly you help me allot..😊
Enjoyed coming along with you on your busy day!🌷 How exciting, a new Pilot The RV looked cozy yet roomy, too. You lift my day through your positive attitude. ♥Ruby is so sweet!
Hey Rowan, I’m looking forward to you bringing us along for this new chapter. I completely understand your reasoning for buying a newer vehicle as your ‘daily driver’. You are such a beautiful soul and your videos warm my heart without fail. So much love to you and gorgeous Ruby. You two are the best RU-vid duo xxxx
Having options is always good. Thanks for sharing yourself and sweet Ruby with us! About towing a trailer... Do NOT believe any sales person telling you what your vehicle "can" tow! Look in the owners manual or the door sticker (the one that lists tire sizes etc). The sticker is most accurate because it lists exactly how much weight each axel can carry in total. Add those numbers then load vehicle as it would be when towing and get it weighed at a CAT scale. The difference between actual weight and the listed capacity is the maximum weight to tow. Every vehicle is different and for safety staying well under the max weight is best. And keep in mind the listed weight of trailers doesn't include your stuff (or propane tanks or air conditioners or water) it's a little trick of the rv industry. Not trying to discourage you, Honda Pilots can tow things including small rvs.
Beautiful PNW!! Fellow DD, isn't that how it always works...every order is ready, easy delivery...you forget how frustrating it can be. lol Yeah, I turned off that feature! I can't see when it gets dark either. Thanks for keeping me going and giving me hope. Hoping to get on the road next May. Love Ruby's channel 💖
I have really enjoyed your videos. Thank you for sharing you and Ruby’s adventures. You have taken me actually out of my everyday stress. And I appreciate both of you. ❤❤
You’re such a positive person but you never hide your truth and I appreciate you SO MUCH for that! You’ve motivated me to follow my dreams of looking into van life in the PNW (I already live here but I don’t travel my area enough).
So happy to hear you have your dream and goal back in your plans! And well deserved to take time to slow down and enjoy the van for you and Rubes ❤And Rowan, I truly admire you. You are strong, you give a lot and your videos are a treat. Thank you so much for sharing! You sure are like the best friend anyone just love. My best from NYC 🤗🍎🐶🍓
You are so very intelligent and I love that you are embracing life pretty much one day at a time. You are a rock star and I LOVE every time I see another of your videos has posted! You go girl.
