Affordable Nomad Life: Solo Woman's Roadtrek Class B Van Tour

the shower comes out right here, this door opens and it goes over there and then the shower nozzle is here and there's a little spot under the carpet, there's a drain and this is all fiberglass. I just removed the rugs, which is very easy to do, and then I showered you now that I'm in the woods, I don't use the shower. a lot because it obviously uses the water correctly, but when I'm connected to the water it's very easy to use and therefore it's your toilet, otherwise, yes, yes, and then it's not small or too narrow or not, you think it's okay , yeah, it's totally Okay, um, um, I took out the regular toilet and put a nature head on it, that's a composting toilet, so no, you're not flushing black tanks, I'm not and it works very, very well Seriously, it's much better than having that toilet. there because the smell of the toilet I don't care how good your equipment is, I don't care how expensive it is, it's always a problem and with this it works very well, it works very, very well, many people listen to the price, it's a thousand. dollars and they say it's crazy, it's worth it, there are people who, you know, have made their own, but, just because I have a small space, this whole thing is totally self-contained, it's easy for me to just throw it in and throw it away. take it out and take it out and take it out, you know, just throw it in the way this one is set up, uh, if you do it right, it's when you take the lid off the bottom, the solid container looks like potting soil, it smells like potting soil, so There really isn't any smell at all, so it was probably the best expense I ever made.

You don't really regret anything at all, so what happens is that it's usually only good for one or two people, my kids. Sometimes we camp with me and they will have the tent and then three of us can sleep very comfortably here, but they use the bathroom, so I have devised another system with the plastic bags like you do and we can, they can still use it without use the composting part, so it ends up working really well, for a large group it overwhelms it, it definitely overwhelms it, so it's not there long enough to decompose, no no, so it just turns into keeping you piling up poop open, yeah, which is not that anyone wants to, that makes it harder to get rid of, so no, you don't really want to do that because you need a chance for it to, like you said, break down, so uh.

No, I wouldn't recommend it for more than one or two people, so you put a plastic bag on it and it becomes a thousand dollar five gallon bucket. If it does. Oh yeah, it does, but it's very useful when you have, like I said. a lot of people, but after I do it, I go back to you know how I'm using it and again you just have to throw it away a little bit once a month for it to work, it works very well, actually. works well well well and for me it would be worth it to almost never have to throw it away oh and the whole black tank no I just hate everything they took away from me I just took it off yeah you didn't need it and I only have the rack and I use all natural products, very good.

I see you have an air conditioner behind you, so you must have a generator. I have a generator and this air conditioner works very well. In fact, if I turn it on, I have to get a sweatshirt. and a blanket it's really cold in here so yeah I don't and I don't even always like to be somewhere where I can if I have to use it which I don't you don't do that often unless I down like in Phoenix or because I stay in the Arizona area mostly uh just for family um so I don't do it at night, I turn it off and I just open the windows and it's beautiful, well, if you already have it it got cold during the day, yeah, That's the good thing, the important thing here.

I have the only way, the only reason I've used it is if I turn on my generator, it has to have something to draw on, so that's it. how do I do that to exercise the generator exactly and that's when I want to try it. I could be charging my iPad or something, but even at night I don't even use the lights much. I use a ryobi, yes, my favorite. I'm a big fan of that stuff. I love it. I love Ryobi. I have everything Ruby. I use this and put it on like a scarf, like a silk scarf, so it looks like a nice little mood light. fans that I use oh yes, the robbie fans I have exactly that fan I love this one this one is nice because it is dual I don't know if yours is or not yes, it is exactly the same yes, you can plug it in It connects electrically or you can use the battery , so I use it if I really need it, if the wind is not blowing outside and it is not circulating, I will use it and it will last two or three days with the larger battery that I have.

I also have the higher amperage battery, but they work very well. I am very, very pleased with myself. Yeah, so I have those. I have the fans and of course, you know, the fantastic fan is fantastic, there really is. There is no doubt that you get your money's worth with a family. I don't even know what you're saying about them, they're really good, so you know I have a TV and a DVD player and everything works, it just has amazing surround sound, um, but I don't really watch a lot of TV and if I do, They're usually DVDs, so I'm thinking about getting rid of the TV and buying a portable DVD player, so that's really nice. very comfortable just up and cozy feeling very cozy very cozy very comfortable and I'll stick my head in the toilet in the bathroom and it's tight you'd have to have the door open to use it yeah you did but then the door becomes kind of uh of the wall, what do you have, the shower curtain rotates, yes, there's the shower curtain, yes, it looks like we're pretty tight here, this is the shower curtain, so it's just going to move and become in the The host does the whole circle and then, uh, and just bathe here, remove the rug and bathe here and there is the nature head toilet, the 1000 toilet, which everyone I know who has one likes. love it, no one has ever said, oh, how great.

It was a waste of money, everyone said it was worth every penny in the refrigerator, uh, running hot water, um, good storage, above all, very good height, uh, even a fairly tall person could stand here. I'm five eight tall and I have a lot. of space, I've had people in here easily six feet, they do fine with anything other than that, I think they stoop a little, yes, but nothing, a little, it's not that bad, no, no, not at all, but Wow, it feels good, yes, it does. Well, I love it, very, very nice and then this passenger seat turns around so it turns around and you and this lounge are way back so you can actually relax like it's a recliner and this seat actually because this has more storage space. but this seat comes forward like this, so you even have it closer so you can tell, and this also makes a bed, oh, there really are some shapes between them, yeah, so it makes a bed easily and when I have family here, here it's where he sleeps because I'm the shortest and uh and it's very comfortable, very, very comfortable, well if you can adjust to the smaller space, yeah, you give up a little bit, yeah, but you get so much that you get 18 to 22 miles per gallon.

I don't. I don't feel like I've sacrificed, that's what I don't feel like I've sacrificed anything, right? Still, you know, the big difference is that instead of knowing when, if you really think about it, if everyone looked at this, they would use it. very little of his house, very little of his house, so all I do is condense the space for walking. Well, it's an extraordinary house, thank you, it really is. I would be content to live here the rest of my

life

. Without hesitation, well, thank you very much mate, I'm really very impressed, you really have a wonderful house, thank you, uh, I'd be happy for the rest of my

life

right here, it's lovely, I love it, I love it.

I can see why and it's not rigid or sterile no, I've been in a lot of RVs and it felt sterile yes this feels like love yes I love it and it's because I love it so much it's just something that everything I say for the people is don't hesitate to do this, don't you know? Just don't hesitate to follow your dream or your adventure or whatever you want to do, it's not worth living just a transportation life that you're pushing. yourself from here to here to here to work to there I mean we all have to work and we all have to find a way because there are so many ways open to us now that even when I was doing my jobs they weren't open to For us, now there are So many ways to be creative and be able to make a living that I encourage anyone, no matter how old or young, to do it, it's amazing, that's all I can say that way.

He sums it up right there. Is incredible. Thank you very much Jude. I really appreciate you sharing your home with us and your enthusiasm and love for it. We'll talk to you later, thank you.
