Thanks for watching!
I donated! I am disabled but trying to help out others too! Everyone should donate 10 or 20 dollars and we can help out so many people.
Hello, I have followed Linda and her mobile dwelling life for some years. Linda is a great motivational speaker and teacher. She has perfected the art of living out of a small space efficiently and comfortably. She is always groomed and keeps a professional appearance. She chooses mobile dwelling and is an inspiration to any one considering changing their game.
3 portable 100w. suitcase panels, going into a 40amp controller, going into 200ah of gel batteries. No inverter, no generator, all 12v. uses...running furnace, two compressor fridges. Worked perfectly all last winter. Installed myself. All Renogy, in a 10' Aliner. Can consult and make simple.
Larry new, you definitely know what you're doing! When I decide to hit the road, I would definitely seek your advice. (And help to set it up, lol). Out of curiosity, approximately how much money does the above mentioned items cost?
@@beverlyharward9631 Roughly, around $1000. However, your needs may be quite different...be happy to help.
Do you need to ground your set up and if so where too?
I've been full time in a van for 7 mo. with 200W solar with 100a battery. Thanks to you Bob.
I might be losing my apartment soon, i appreciate your channel bob thank you
Thank you Bob, SueAnn, And KC! 😍👍
Bob nice of you to have an open invitation to becoming a nomad and not shutting the door on those who will need assistance down the road. Many people don’t realize these last few months were just a start of a serious wake up call to a new way of living. I applaud those who are living this life as a nomad without regret and making the best of it. I still live in brick and mortar mainly because of health and mobility reasons. I have downsized a whole lot from watching you and others.
Now 😅😊😅😊p
My old van I had at 19 was a Ford Econoline, X- Telephone truck. They had ladder racks, just plugged them with butyl rubber, never leaked in 20+ years. Don't be afraid to cut holes in a metal van roof.
Thank you! Everyone has knowledge, inspiration, a helpful hand, etc to help our fellow man. Thank you! You inspire so many and give hope, a reason, and stregenth to so many. Keep faith and keep living! There's a reason even if we don't see it every moment. God Bless! TN just passed a law that public sleeping is a felony. I have no idea how far the local pd's in each county will enforce this. I'm so sad and upset by this new law! Each one of us are only human, things happen we can't control. Jesus lay his head wherever and whenever He needed to sleep. He didn't even have a tent that I know of. Why do some people think they are better than our own Lord. This is horrible. Especially when TN has so much to offer otherwise. I'd like to stay as private as possible. How can a traveler contact me, safely, If they need a place to park to rest. I have no water now. I have to go to town, if my van starts, to buy water by the gallon but thank God, I have some limited electric. I basically camp indoors. Thank God for blessings! Your videos are such an inspiration. Thank you for all you do.
Hey Bob..thank you for all your expertise videos
Thank you for saying it more than once about the massively over priced portable solar systems. The same now goes for lithium batteries in light of the plunge in raw lithium prices for that input to the battery fab steps.
When you said divide watts by volts equals maps. The light went on for me. Thanks for all you do for us.
Amps of course.
In electronics shop in high school we learned PIE. Power (watts) equals I (amps) times E (voltage).
I am 1 week new to your channel, and am so intrigued! I just wanted to say hello and thank you for all of your knowledge, help and tips! My husband and I are looking for a rig to start to see if this is the life for us. I know I could totally live this way, it's so freeing from all the hubbub! Thanks again from California 👍🏼👋💗
Hi Bob, This Granny bought her long awaited shuttle bus. So in a year or so I will come and meet you. YAY
Love your kind words Bob.👍👍
Bob you are a great human.Love how you care and are so kind!😊
This channel has given me hope and has helped me through some extremely hard times. Thank you for the help
Thank you, Bob! I learned a lot. I took lots of notes and referenced this video for the future so I can rewatch. You've helped me far more than you could ever know. Hope to meet you someday!
Thank you Bob, following you from Canada,Canadian Rockies
For though's rainy days I have 2 switches that turn off my controller and solar panels, I then have a throw over switch (disabling the solar setup) from my starter battery for when the vehicle is running with a smart relay inline. I've also permanently ground down my leisure battery to the chassis of the vehicle. I've also installed a throw-over switch from my solar setup so I have the option of charging/conditioning my starter battery but not to charge the leisure battery at the same time as it's not recommended due to it being an AGM. I place a plastic bag in the dashboard to remind me it's in this position before starting the van. Hope this helps!
That big tree is a Bishop Pine.. that is the kind if tree I like to sit under, smell and listen to them talk...😊
The call outs make me think of Romper Room when I was a kid!
Will definitely watch this later, because Ohms law can be pretty tricky when you have to learn decimal placement. For converting or finding Watts or Volts and how that works on what shares what. 😬
Bob what you predicted 4 years ago is coming true, there is a financial firestorm coming, I'm preparing my lifeboat, keep broadcasting the truth.
Hello Bob. Greetings from Ontario Canada. Will you speak about the basic running costs of Canadian van life. Ideas where to set up mail, health care etc. Perhaps highlight an example of how you would go about living 6months in Canada and 6 months in U.S.A. and what provinces and states you would camp. I enjoy your videos.
grateful for your contributions to humanity
Bob, this really helped remove some concern but hands on always benefits me better. LOL ... Trying to find someone who can install solar on my van. That is a challenge. Thanks for your help and all the others who seem to be more behind the scenes. I've been trying to find someone to sit in pow-wow to understand how a jackery works on specific issues. I'll figure it out thou.
Peggy Huskey, check with local companies that install solar panels on homes, and\or van conversions. These folks are professionals and know how to do this right.
You are right, the highlight of all your videos is Cody. I look for him and each video. Great solar info. I probably need to add a battery to my little system.
Bob and Cody - 2024
Love your chanel..love how you help ppl out...great sense of comunity...whish you would scan the camera around when you are in those pkaces with lots of vans
Thanks 👍
Great video Bob. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Love your videos!!
I love your quotes to live by. Very inspiring to me.
My 1955 feather weight sewing machine hardly Drew any wattage when using my Bluetti AC200 generator. I have a CZcams viedo with it being ran at full speed. Which I would never sew at that speed.
Great info you have a big heart!!!!!
Hello Bob. Lynne from Georgia. Love your video's ❤❤
Great information can’t wait to meet you all.
Thank you Bob n the gang..always great info..stay safe✌💖😊
The answer to the RV question is so helpful! Thank you!
I realize that some things are definitely over-priced. I like to say most are! And when you are low income and can't afford rent that drives you into van living.
But all this electronic yammer is just way too confusing. I have lights that run on little cell batteries. They last months before I need to replace the little round cell. I have a butane single burner stove. Lights and cooking are all taken care of. But heating at night with a small 5 x 7 inch 200 w Lasko heater in my little van, - how on earth would I know what solar panel, what portable battery and anything else I would need to power that little thing in the winter AZ desert for 8 hours at night! I just don't know the set up I would need to cover that.
A sewing machine is just a few watts & is little bursts.
Thanks, Bob!
Yes, I’d rather be there!
Have you tested Rockpals 100w solar foldable?
Just in time. A few minutes late actually. I wish my device would remind me when I wanted it to.
I chose to not do all the wiring thing. I have an Eco Flow coming from their kickstarter!
A very informative vid.
Good chat !
If you have to have a CPAP machine you need a 1500 watt inverter or greater.
I only found a We Camp Together on FB
I'm a member of the FB group page.. Thank yooou
I bought your book 😍😍
You are very smart man
Is it normal for solar panels to get hot when laying out in sun? Is it ok for solarpanel?
What is a cheap sealer for a topper on a truck bed trailer. I have been out of work a while. So need cheap. I am living in it. Thank you for making videos.
Depends on what you are trying to seal out; dust from the back or water from the top?
Any recommendations on the East Coast?
Hope to meet u
Some day.😀
Hello from Miami
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
What would you suggest at the minimum as far as generator, 300w or 500w?
Hi Bob, from WV
You are whole wool Bob, that is a
compliment
Do you recommend Chry Town & Country
Thank you so much for the AlterNator info
💕💕💕💕❤️ vancover wa.
And all the videos you do so fun watching you you’re such a cutie pie. 💕💕
Mr. Wells, my question has nothing to do with your subject matter but I would like to ask a few questions. The Bureau of Land Mass out West is great. I'm on East Coast in NC. Many years ago, in TN, they had TVA- Tennessee Valley Authority, land areas where large community of people could live in their campers or RVs at a very affordable price. I was told TVA made everyone leave and no longer allows people to live there. To my knowledge, and I've heard you mention this situation in previous video, there are no Federal lands on East Coast, such as there is out West. Why? What happened? Do you or does anyone know the answer(s)? Would really appreciate answers.
Lack of land because of housing increase...
Hi Bob
From Wisconsin.
2000 watt generator probably won’t start the Ac without a starter.
Question:, Do you install your solar set up before you insulate and build out your cargo van? Or can you do it after? Not sure which to do first. TIA
In order to minimize my electric bill so I can eventually get a cargo van and get out of the “welfare trap”, I am saving money to get a portable solar power system for my apartment.
I would of course, get the advice and assistance of an expert in solar installations to do this for me.
The solar panel is large and has all the hook up wiring included. What size battery(ies) and other parts do I need? This is not for emergencies, but to cut down on my bill, which can get pricey in the Summer and will also be “re-purpose d” to power the cargo van in due time.
I have been told that the power company can levy a huge fine for “infringing” on their ability to provide power to my apartment by using solar panels for my purposes.
I stated that the power company cannot charge folks for using the sun to dry their clothes on a clothesline, and that legitimate companies who install solar power panels on homes are not committing a crime.
Isn't there a way you have to connect first the battery before you connect the panel.
cody is lovin it
Awww Cody!
What is the name of the mashed potatoes you mentioned yesterday? They sound convenient & easy to prepare.
Bob Evans
Thanks much.

So are you only considered a nomad if you live in a van?
From 2020? Are you still doing lives?

Its called "STORING"....

The website says May 13th, 2020 for the bike raffle. Who won? I can’t find the information and in this Live feed you were talking about two bikes being raffled. Did you extend it and the sweepstakes is on another date?
Sorry. I found a different page with a different date of September 13
Can roof solar survive & weather out hail storms??
