Cheap Van Life Living Where to Camp Seasonally While Living in a Van

This is the first of a series of videos about the travel plans of the typical Snowbird who is traveling in a car, van or RV. Like the real-live snowbirds, our goal is to find the best weather possible year-around.

Desert in winter. Mountains in summer. Works for me.

Many of us are living vicariously through you till we, too, can become one of the tribe!

[vanguardvaluist]

One gets further working with Mother Nature than working against her. Wise words indeed!

Excellent video as always. Bob, I mentioned before that I'd love a video on certain weather related dangers such as flash floods, high winds, etc. I know they're not predictable but I believe monsoons and other systems are prevalent in certain months/seasons. Also, some education on identifying dangerous land features such as washes, etc.. You are such a good teacher Bob. I've learned so much from your videos and appreciate your message regarding the rat race. It's so true!

After months of freezing temps in the Northeast, your message of being in harmony with Mother Nature really resonates with me. Thank you, Bob.

I was told to follow the strawberry festivals for great weather ;)

[mamadonna]

That’s very good wisdom about living in harmony with the land so it has a time to rest...awesome!

One of my favorite Bob Wells vlogs. Something about the serenity of the background and simplicity of production. ❤️

Many folks in the mid-west and Canada head to deep S. TX. (2.5 hours south of Corpus Christi at the tip of TX) We call them Winter Texans. The Gulf water is pretty warm and you can camp on the beach.

It's cool that I came here for a few tips on Summer camping and stayed for the philosophy.
You're a great communicator, Bob.

Mr. Wells, it's truly been a joy to follow your YouTube channel. In my opinion, your one of the most important people on the subject of living in your vehicle. The News organizations have take notice of your good deeds. You are the ambassador of information on this subject. Best regards. 👍🇺🇸 🚙

I am so jealous of you, Caravan Carolyn, Carolyn's RV Life, and so many others. I was forced into retirement at 58 1/2 by my employer. My wife and I decided to sell our house and we bought a new truck and 5th wheel and we did live mostly in it for about 5 years. We had no idea your type of living existed. Health issues ended our adventure and now at 80 it's totally out of the question and mainly because of my wife and daughter's health. The daughter lives with us after her marriage failed. Had we know about your lifestyle at retirement there is no doubt that we would have been a part of it.

We loved camping and owned some type of RV for about 50 of our 60 years of marriage. The YouTube videos is the closest to your lifestyle as we can get and I have watched so many of them. By the way we are from Asheville, NC and yes free camping is very hard to find in that area.

If you drive from Asheville to Mount Mitchell you can certainly tell the difference in temperature by going higher from lower elevation. If I were alone today I'd be out looking for a van but I'm not. I love my family and must stay with them. That's all from this envious old man in Melbourne FL.

I keep coming back to watch the snow bird schedule over and over. Bob, you were made to be the man who would love being a Nomad to the degree that you would be willing to share the passion with others. Just to know about this simple way to live and connect with kind people is enough to restore our hope. Imagine folks who are in abusive marriages or are abused by the system. They can now have a workable plan and just leave. Wow. Your humanity is unmatched in this crazy world full of psychopaths.

As a Ben-Noahide Jew....letting the land rest (at least every 7 years)....is a must. Bob, I think this is one of your greatest videos ever. I hope to meet you some day. Meeting you is on my "bucket" list. I am 65 and just retired and about to go....off grid.

[denisemartin]

We just listed our house. We’re ready to start living and traveling. 🙏

[brendamcchristy]

You are so special to many people Bob. Thank you

[mylifemydetour]

You are such an inspiration to me in my quest for van living. It seems like it's taking forever, saving for a rig and getting rid of my things etc. But then I watch one of your videos and I am reminded of the big WHY. Your videos encourage me to press on with my plan, knowing it will be worth it in the end. Thanks again for another great video. In the meantime, I look forward to the day when I will live in more harmony and cooperation with our earth. :)

[marycrawford]

I love you & the awesome information that you provide. I'm planning to begin living this way in 6-8 months (saving as money as possible between now & then) my kids r grown now so I'm free to do my own thing. I'm a little nervous because I'm a woman but after watching your videos I'm confident I can do this. Thanks for all the information and the ongoing teaching videos!

I stay in the desert winter flagstaff or Arizona white mountains in the summer 10, 000 feet elevation. Cool temperatures 65 to 70s summer months.
