  • America is country full of Middle Class people who are struggling to just barely survive in a very low wage, and very high rent economy. That’s a wonderful combination for the top 1% of earners, but a life of misery for many others. One large group of Americans who suffer because of it are those with disabilities.

    My husband had mobility issues and we looked all over to find a commercial rv that would work for him. Didn't find anything, so I bought a race trailer with a drop down tailgate and I built in the features that he needed. We hauled that trailer all over the west. He got to enjoy the last years of his life.

    I have a mix of illnesses that has resulted in the disability of chronic fatigue. I moved into a 16 foot traveler that is way easier to live in and less isolating that the multistory suburban home I had before. Plus I have to be able to house myself on my part time work. It’s worked out great and I just published a book about my first year. Like Bob said, everyone with a disability is different. Bob has the energy to need an off-road chair. I mostly stay in except for where I can go with my electric scooter - I see the world through my windshield!

    Renegade is not in business anymore but there are other options. I have MS and three years ago I fell backward into the brick fireplace in my home and broke my neck. At first I had little use of my arms and legs but now I can get into a wheelchair and push myself. I want to get out of the nursing home I have been in ever since my accident but there are so many nay sayers here; I am not listening because this summer is my break out time! I too am very independent and will figure out things as I go along. It is so great to see someone else in a wheelchair (so sorry for your accident) being a nomade! Now I know I can be on my own after seeing you. Thanks for this video, I really needed something like this in my life right now. Best of continued good fortune on your journey.

    I've been watching these videos for about 4 years and dreaming about traveling around the country full time. I was on oxygen full time for a while, but now I only need it at night with my bi-pap machine. I use an oxygen concentrator. I question whether or not solar power would be sufficient to keep my machines going all night.

    • @saradanser894

      @priola7587 Před 5 lety +1

      Theresa57 Camper Van Kevin uses a c-pap. He’s recently gotten a class a but lived in a van etc. Go check out his channel. I seem to recall the type of batteries the solar charges, as to how far you can draw them down over night etc. Getting a good solar expert as suggested above is a good idea.

    • @timhardman4764
      @timhardman4764 Před 5 lety +2

      Yes it can be done if money is no object and you plan to plug in to shore power each night in your RV that also has solar and a generator as backup.
      If funds are limited then you need to do the math regarding your electric consumption. It is the same exercise everyone else has to do when planning a solar system but you have to add to it the special equipment you need at night.
      Once you have calculated the amount of electricity you will need each day, then you can price the system you will need to supply that power. The size of you battery bank will determine how many days you can still have electricity if it's raining during the day or heavily overcast. If your night time machines are necessary to keep you alive, then you must have a back up generator.
      A representative from a Solar company like AZ Wind and Solar (that Bob recommends) can help you with your calculations but you will need to supply them with the specifications on your special equipment in addition to the regular/normal energy needs you will have during the day and night.

    He is 100% right. I had a hard time admitting I needed to be in the wheelchair. I went into a depression for a little over a year. The wheelchair sat in a corner over a year! Then I really wanted to get out of the house. slowly I started liking that I could go shopping again. The one thing I know is that you have to be real careful . And if you ever get that feeling in the pit of your stomach you shouldn't do that in your chair. "Don't do it" I did and fell going down hill into traffic. Luckily a young man stopped and stopped traffic. I was all beat up. But my chair was fine. My food went rolling down the hill. Fire department came, with police and ambulance. But I learned. Now I pretty much go where I want. But I know I still can't do everything I did. and I don't drive. always wanted to live like y'all. But my husband doesn't want to do it permanently but says we will go some weekends. So It's a compromise :)

    What a powerful and inspirational man Bob is! I think he really hit the point when he talked about whether you really want to live or just stay barely alife, waiting for death to come. I think many people relate to that - I surely did. You managed to get right back on your 'spiritual feet' and fully enjoy your life. Good for you! The rig seems to serve all your needs and gives you a stable safe home. I think it is wonderful and heroic what you achieved here, Bob! You have managed to rise above your limitations and reach new levels of fully living and being yourself. I think that is really a sign of strength and determination to LIVE. Thank you for sharing this with us. Greetings to both of you heroes Bob & Bob - Jason
