 Hey everybody it's Robin with Creativity RV and I'm here with my new friend Journey that I met at the 2019 RTR and she's gonna give us a tour of her great little trailer and tell us about her nomadic life. It's Robin and this is my friend Journey. Do you want to say hi? Hi! And this is her cute trailer. Tell us about your trailer. Well this is Little T. You know I got it when it was just inside nothing there just a little bit of carpet that you can just roll up and take out the guys that built it had it used it as a fishing hut. There's a couple of little rod holders here. Oh nice. And the windows were in but nothing else and my favorite part is the sunroof which you'll see a little bit later. I can lay in bed and look at the stars. Oh that's great. But I just love her. And how big is it? It's a five by eight. Yeah looks like a big refrigerator box huh? But it's pretty cool. What do you pull it with? I have a 2008 escape and actually it's really surprising people don't think that you can haul much with it but it's 3,500 pounds you can haul with a escape. So how hard do you find it to hook up and unhook the tow cart? Well you know as single women a lot of times I don't have a lot of experience with that and you know what we're pretty stubborn and we want to learn how to do it and so at first it was kind of difficult but I can get it going right on right away. So how long does it take you then now? You have some time. Man I can throw everything in that sucker and be gone in probably 30 minutes. Nice. How long have you been on the road? I actually just started on the 5th of November but I've been dreaming about traveling since about the third grade so this is just the most fantastic. Are you loving it? Absolutely. I wake up happy every single day and I don't even care that I don't have much. I just love the simplicity actually. Yeah yeah what's been the most surprising thing you found in your first couple months? Was there anything that you didn't anticipate that happened that surprised you? Just amazing kindness. I was on a journey to have kindness in my life and I was going to be the one that was going to give it if I couldn't find it but not a day has gone by. Not a second. Where ever I'm at no matter whether there's any prompting or anything or questions it just finds me and every single person has been kind, helpful and and it's so wonderful. Right here this painting the one girl her name is Karen Patterson and I can't buy her and she said you need a flower box so she painted it. It's beautiful. It is beautiful. It makes it. I love it. Yeah. It says a lot about who you are I think. Yeah kindness is just a major huge part of this everywhere. It's just I don't even have the words for it. It's amazing. Right. Great. Well can we see the inside? Absolutely. Thanks. So when I got it like I said there was just the great and it had a thin plywood on there and so I could feel the air coming through and I just had Matt sleeping bag and so now I have a wooden bed and just my sleeping bags and stuff as my my mattress basically. Mm-hmm. Here's my cassette toilet which I upgraded from a bucket. Yay. So winning and I have a privacy curtain that some ladies sewed for me. Kindness. Yes absolutely. But I bought these cupboards here at thrift shop in Lake Havasu. I really like these but I haven't attached anything because I really want to be able to live in this for a while to find out where I really want things. Mm-hmm. And what I'm thinking about here is putting these wire basket like things like this underneath here. Yeah that would be great. So that way I can get rid of all these totes and then put a curtain across the cover at all because when you first start out you think you need everything. Right. So my suggestion would be don't take anything because people will probably give you stuff and then you'll figure it out and you'll love it even more than having to haul around stuff you don't need. Right. Because I've already given away a lot of stuff. You learn that fast. So but the sunroof right here is one of my favorite. It's just lovely. Here's a nice little cover that I can get shade and it doesn't heat up so fast. So this is one of my favorite things. Did you make that yourself? I did not. Nope. This the windows and this came and came with it. Here's my little carbon monoxide alarm. Mm-hmm. Here in the corner. Got my brush over here and oh one of the other cocampers shot me this. Here's my clothes. It's in a pillow sham. That's smart. So here's my clothes. Very smart. And so this is how you cook just on a is it a butane or propane stove? Yep and actually I recently got my heater buddy hooked up and it is hooked up to the propane tank outside. Gotcha. And that was really scary at first to learn to do and now it's like now it's okay problem. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just wanting to get rid of all this and put the baskets in and then it'd probably be okay but yep I love it. Absolutely love it. So we talked about space, cooking, bathroom, shower. How do you do your showers? Actually most of the time when I'm cooking some water for coffee I will start a pot of water here and then take just a wash rag, do the whole sponge bath thing. Yep. But we find showers that's one of the main things we talk about. So just recently went into court site to the Lawner Mac which has a shower and they have ice in the restaurant next door. Right. So you know I kind of do all that at once. I really don't want to have all those conveniences in here because the more I have in here that makes it easier for me to stay in here the less I'm going to go out there. Right. And that's what I want to do is I want to go out and talk to people. I want to explore the towns that I'm in. I don't even care if I'm just sitting there looking at the beautiful rocks. Right. You know it's just so peaceful and so just joyful. If there's anybody out there that's thinking about doing this and they're unsure or they're scared or they just don't know where to begin what advice would you give them? Don't watch a whole bunch of other videos. Just listen to Ryan. No really. I swear to God this is not a setup. I know it isn't because I know I've you know started out watching a few of them and I thought no I don't want to sit here and watch all this stuff. You know you were just so encouraging and so positive and so much fun to watch. I'm like that's all I need. I'm thinking the same thing about you right now. And you just like did it without even getting in a camper and I was raised camping and fishing and everything like that. So and I thought you know what I just I'm just gonna have fun and so take less with you. Don't worry because I I used to walk from my door to my garage which was about 20 feet away and be afraid that I was going to get a wolf or something you know just something stupid boogeyman. I walk all over in the desert here by myself and I don't feel one ounce of you know that feeling in your gut like something's wrong you know and if you for any reason have a gut feeling that you're in a parking lot somewhere camping just leave right you know that's the way you do it but everything else will come. There'll be somebody right there willing to help you great friendships a lot of fun laugh your ass off your cheeks and your everything hurt you know I would just say you know do it don't even look back. I really appreciate you thank you so much for taking the time I love love love your trailer. Yeah your camper. Keep watching Robin and creativity.com always at creativity RV.com. That's it girl. All right. Thank you so much journey I appreciate you. I'm gonna give her a hug as soon as we cut this off. Thanks everybody. Have happy travels out there and be free.
