   Hello Jenny, Cool Motor Home you have. I think what you are doing is fantastic and the road truly clears the head, I loved your interview with the Lady who custom built her van, I love it and it was first class and not condescending, because most people don’t understand the liberty mind set of those sovereigns who sojourn as they please. I also thought she was very talented at using space, and she was very neat and clean her. I can’t get organized, If your not organized in such a cramped space things go to hell fast.

   I’m Bob and I travel the concrete seas with my Wolf Duke. I am a truck driver (professional gypsy)and go coast to coast. Last year I sold my rig and took time off until I went broke and every thing had caught up to me, both mentally and emotionally 5 1/2 years earlier the U.S. Government deported my wife of then 14+ years and my 13 year old daughter, left for Europe, I stayed here to support them, I just came back from Europe for Christmas, I could not afford to see them, until now, I suffered a heart attack on the plane retuning to America, the sorrow of leaving them was too crushing, so I understand people who have issues with life and I respect your courage and others like us. One year ago I made a trade for a Airstream motor home, after sitting in my apartment broke and unemployed.
   I was self employed so I had no benefits coming in I new the economy was destroyed, and the prospect of being evicted and cast to the curb by the Sheriff, was a real possibility, I had a fairly new jeep and it was paid for, and sleeping in a jeep under a bridge was not a pretty prospect. I figured that I can”t be thrown to the curb when I live at the curb. So when I made the trade for the motor home I also learned (but to late) that never buy any motor home in the winter because you cant see if the components working such as A.C. pluming etc, the dealer was a shyster. The best thing that ever happened to me was to rid myself of all the things in my apartment. they are mental balls and chains.I am know working on restoring my Airstream, better then new, I have Bars and restaurants paying me + free beer and food just to park it in front of there place for tail gate party’s, so now I going to jazz it up. I love it. I wish my family was here to enjoy it with me. I plan to keep working on buying all the components and things to finish it, right now I live in it I’m not hooked up to a camp ground, I stay at my friends hotel hooked up to the electric. The thing that’s absurd is the cost of propane, (I should have bought an Amish heater) in Ohio it cost nearly %4.50 a gallon. I should have went south. so far I have saved $7500 or more, in rents and utility’s and I feel free. soon I’ll be forced out of trucking by new health regulations, so I am preparing the way to survive the storms to come, I have skills to survive in a micro business by doing car and truck polishing & detailing, window tinting, and signs and graphics. while traveling across country.

   First…I LOVE YOUR VOICE!!!

   You could definately do voice recordings of how-to, childrens books, travel, and anything needing a normal yet super sexy voice.

   Love the videos of what you did with your mini. I’ve been looking at a mini or trailer for living near a job and commuting home to on weekends.

   Life used to be good…now I’m barely hanging on…your studio on wheels may be the solution that saves me.

   Keep it up!
