    Two weeks of ownership and two days of work in the Lowe's parking lot, and we're here! Ready to hit the road in our tiny but mighty Subaru camper. It might not be 'fancy' but it is functional as heck, and I can't wait to see all of the adventures we get up to this year :)

    That is a super functional build Alexandria. As long as it provides what you want/need and you have a safe place to sleep, keep dry, etc., you really don't need much more. Terra gave me a chuckle when you first started the video because she was definitely in groundhog mode digging away under your car lol. Stay well and enjoy those get-away weekends into the mountains. Have fun!

    Great tour with reasons for your Subie build out. Bummer on the damage to your car while parked on street! Have a great learning time going to grad school! Looking forward to your continued build out, car and apartment, plus your outdoor adventures.

    Hi there Alex - very well done on your very basic yet functional build - I wish you and Tara many happy miles and camps in it. After watching I then watched Vyanca Ventures - another solo lady in her car-camper, and would definitely recommend you watch her car tour - it's AMAZING how much she has gotten into her car and yet it feels spacious. You could pick up some excellent ideas from her build, tho obviously different in that she lives in her car full time. She has some really clever ideas. 🦋

    I love this! I've been watching you for over a year now and you've been an inspiration to me. I'm now travelling around Australia solo living out of my SUV, a 2004 Nissan X-Trail. I've also started making videos for CZcams. I'm 3 months into the adventure and your videos continue to inspire and educate me. Thank you.

    This is inspiring me to do something simple like this in my Honda Fit. When I first got it, I thought I would do a lot of car camping. I think I could build something like this.

    • @SheRoamsWild
      @SheRoamsWild  Před 21 dnem +1

      you 100% can!! Depending on what you need/want, you could make a build that is even more simple, or "no build"! All you need is the basics to keep you safe & having fun out there, and I hope you have the chance to soon :)

    it doesn't take much to fit it out and you don't really need to do a build , I camp in both my suv and/or trailer. I'm on the east coast(Delaware) and I wanted to travel to Florida on a week vacation so going a thousand miles pulling a trailer wasn't going to work it would take for ever to get there so I got a cot some containers that could fit underneath, a fridge w/Bluetti eb70 and off I went, because I do pull the trailer with this vehicle I had the ability to use a storage deck on the back. It was a great trip, I ended up after getting a better cot that i could sit up on without bending my neck and one of those cheap plastic drawers from walmart, and I don't know if you ever get it exactly the way you want it, one thing I changed I realized after a rainy trip was I needed some type of canopy, because I took my german shepherd the inside of car got wet and it was very damp inside and temps were to drop below freezing that night so I went home. My next car camping trip is to the NY Adirondacks in July, hopefully temperatures hold true to average or I may be sweating to death, no german Shepherd on this trip don't want to chance the heat with all her fur, I'm bringing my Dalmatian. How's Tara doing, she looked like she was having fun digging under the car.
    Happy Camping

    Like the basic build sometimes simple is best as far as the bumper if you can afford it I would definitely upgrade now. Also may I suggest you get an dash camera one that is still active even if the car is off then you would have proof of who hit you

  • @larkbrinkley3584
    @larkbrinkley3584 Před 22 dny

    I guess that how cars lose 20% of there value within the first year. Then you add another 10-30% for the accident; meaning the trade in value of you car could be as low as $15,000 "TODAY". Meanwhile Subaru going to push out the dent and put it back on the lot for $25,000 "FIRM".

    • @SheRoamsWild
      @SheRoamsWild  Před 22 dny +1

      thankfully its an older car, so I wont suffer that crazy depreciation 'driving it off the lot' like I would have new! It helps that I spent less than $15k on it to start with as well :)
