  • Are you interested in hearing why I started living on the road full-time in an airstream basecamp? In this video, I discuss solo female RV living with pets, why I purchased my Airstream Basecamp over other RVs, and why I choose the RV life full-time.

    Questions:
    00:00-00:41 Intro
    00:42-08:24 Why did I decide to hit the road?
    08:25-12:05 Do I feel the Airstream is worth the hefty price tag?
    12:06-14:19 Were there other RVs I considered, and if so why did I end up with the Airstream Basecamp?
    14:20-17:24 What is my favorite work setup for working a full-time corporate job on the road?
    17:24-20:45 How long could I keep up this lifestyle, and what are our plans for the future?

    Smart young lady. Enjoyed your video. My wife and I sold everything and travelled full time in a 36 foot motorhome for nine years then the last 12 years traveling 1/2 time +/- . “May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.”

      Thank you for your Airstream Base Camp story. We're ( my wife is) trying to teach her new cat the ins & outs of a harness so we can take the cat in our truck and 27' / 2007 Trailite Travel trailer. Up to the RV park where we store and use our trailer. Not sure if we will take it out on the road part time or full time , we're still deciding. The rona put a big roadblock in our plans. But we do love the Airstream! And we want to go look at a Base Camp! I'm 5 ' 11" , can I get a good shower in a Base Camp? Thank you! We're looking forward to your next Q n A.. . ......hopefully us & our dog & cat can say Hi! On the road!

    Did the full-time thing for a couple of years in a class A. Was great for awhile, did a lot of traveling but missed the home base. Living day to day in an RV can get a bit much believe it or not. Having a nice home base in an area you enjoy AND the RV to vacation/travel/explore in is honestly the best of both worlds if you can swing it.

      The best to me is the Travato 59k because it’s not a big RV at all only like 20 feet long, but yet the layout is beautiful and you can park it anywhere. When you were pulling some thing you can’t go into any spot that you want. Plus the 59K has a battery system that you can run your air conditioner for eight hours on battery and leave your dog inside

    i lived in my van for 5 months (by choice) and it was one of the most spiritually nurturing times in my life... it really simplified things. Work, eat, climbing gym, find a spot to park and sleep, repeat. I remember one of my favorite quirky memories of van life, was when i met up w/a bunch of friends for a camp trip. at the end of the camping weekend, i asked a friend what her plans were after the trip. she mentioned she was just going to go home and relax. She asked me what my plans were, and i realized, i didn't have a 'home' to go back to... lol my home was wherever i parked the van. there was something kind of 'freeing' about that moment, while at the same time, i felt the desire to be 'home.' The Lord was doing a work in my heart, to lead me to Jesus Christ!

I was never worried about problems. My "guys" kept an eye on me, and loved every minute of it. I am so excited to find your channel. It is amazing traveling and exploring. I feel much safer out in the boonies than in town. ........I lost on a Campervan also....LOL I traveled in a 1993 Chevy G-20 Van for several years as a weekend warrior. I purchased an old 2000 Dodge van buidling out currently from scratch. And an old Avion (this will be a later project). Spent last 2 years getting out of debt. (Now I am debt free except my home mortgage). Look forward to travel DEBT FREE in 2021. Looking forward to more on your channel.

    Very nice job. From a former TV writer-producer, your narration and presentation is very professional. Okay, pleasantries aside: I have a few questions regarding your solar package. You have two panels on the roof and added the additional ground panels. What wattage do all panels now pull? Do you find the upgraded items excessive, just right or just making it, for your power needs? Based on many of your narratives, I assume your father helped you with the install of upgrades... Did you find it intimidating? Moving on, I really want to know more about the weBoost (sp) system. It's something I want, but know little about. And the apps you mentioned in your travels for a new refrigerator. More attention to the different apps available would be helpful. Maybe it's own video.... And finally, I enjoyed the cooking segment. Making fried rice and mixing it up does make for a weeks worth of great meals. But I kept waiting for you to remove that dogie bag from the smoke detector... Otherwise, good concept and worth more production time.

    • @TailsofWanderlust
      @TailsofWanderlust  Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you very much for that! The deployable are 160W and rooftop are 180W for a total of 340W. For living full time and working full time, I find it just what I need. However, if I didn't have one or the other (not having to run a laptop all day or not living full-time) it may be more than I really need. My father helped me with the 12V install, and it was intimidating until he showed me as I didn't have much experience in electrical. When it came to the full lithium upgrade I did hire someone for that. As for the ideas for future videos, I've added a bunch to my list thank you for the ideas! I do have an internet video out right now which does go over the WeBoost a bit more. Thanks for watching!

    I'm so glad I found you! I purchased a Winnebago Class C 3 months ago to live in full time. I'm disabled and spend days on end in bed in pain, so about 6 months ago I decided that if I'm going to be in bed unable to go anywhere, why not move my bed? On the days when I can drive, I will (post Covid of course), and on the days when I can't, at least the view outside my bedroom window changes😊 So I sold my condo, packed up my cat, and we are on the road, (well, mostly my mother's driveway until Covid let's me visit friends and family outside of my bubble🙄) I think I've already decided to sell my Class C and swap it for either a Class B or a small trailer; the Class C is only 25 feet, but it still feels too big. Anyway, I look forward to following your journey and learning lots! Thank you so much💗
