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.

One gets further working with Mother Nature than working against her. Wise words indeed!
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!
I was told to follow the strawberry festivals for great weather ;)
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’ve been doing this going to warmer climates in winter. I thought LA area would be a lot warmer than it was this winter. Low 60s was ok but I wasn’t in a car but in hotels still.
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. ❤️
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 KZread 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. 👍🇺🇸 🚙

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.

Omg, that sounds terrible, I live in Texas and it’s so incredibly humid here and Corpus will be super humid. But to each their own I recommend anyone going to Texas to thoroughly research about the heat and humidity there. Been here 10 years and still not used to it, leaving soon.
Mr. Wells, you truly are in tune with Mother Earth! Some call you a Guru, I think of you as a RV naturist. I doth my hat to you.
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 KZread 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.
"If you win the rat race, you're still a rat" LMAO!
You are so special to many people Bob. Thank you
The most beautifully said... this is the first video and best video on living one with nature... where your words touched my heart and made us one with the earth and each othr..thank you with much gratitude, light and love JGenevieve
"If you win the rat race, you are still a rat", Best quote yet!! Thanks for all of your videos!!
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 would love to do this , but don't have the confidence. Glad that you do.
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.
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. :)
I use to live in Green mountain falls in1968-1969 spent 2 winters having. Blast. As long as the wind is not blowing much i wore just a blouse and slacks regular shoes with 2 feet of snow. I loved it.
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.

I'm going to try to do that next summer and get out of the heat. Could you share a couple of places with us fellow full-timers 😊
I have only done stealth camping and hated it. I felt ashamed, dirty, looked down on. I have been watching your videos for quite some time now and am really excited about going boondocking. I am learning a lot from you wise teacher.
We just listed our house. We’re ready to start living and traveling. 🙏

FYI for Newbie, yes I know this is an old post: I suggest you may want to rent your home for approximately 1 years to see if van-life is for you. Living inside your rig, It’s great for vacations, and you can go back home. Living the life and finding somewhere to sleep every night gets old and tiresome. If you need to live near the city And a little lonely in the desert away from family/friends. Bob Wells has a RTR in Quartzite AZ every Jan. May want to attend for more useful information and lifestyle and great opportunity for building your community. for more info. Goggles “Home On Wheels Alliance “
I’ve never heard that expression before, the land needs rest, makes sense!
I’ve been a snowbird for the last 4 years after retiring. RVing from northern Maine to the southwest, this year I’m staying in southern NM state parks. Northern Maine has at most 10 days a year over 90 degrees and always cools well at sunset. There is no comparable boondocking anywhere in the Northeast, but I can’t leave my perennial berry bushes behind and love the travel. Thanks for your video!
Really enjoy watching your vids, Bob. My 20 year old pick up died at 316k miles, and I've got a chevy cargo van now and am working on it. This summer we will to to NM! Thanks again.
Be careful Bob, you do so well at promoting the lifestyle, next thing you know the places will become overcrowded! Thanks for your wonderful videos and teaching, I'm taking baby steps to live the life we were meant to live, almost there!
Thank Bob will be living in my van full time the start of April
Thank you Bob. For all you do for us Nomads.
Thanks so much for sharing. I live in Florida to be close to one daughter and family. Every year I panic when hurricanes hit. Last year I fled to California to be with my younger daughter and family. I must admit that the earthquakes, mudslides, and fires send me into panic mode, too. I am looking forward to this information and truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge . You are a blessing to many!
Bob, thank you for all the great info in your videos. All you do help all of us to take the right steps for van life and rv’ing. You really do a great service for many, many people.
Dude lives in an and RV and shoots videos in front of post cards...what a life!!!

You are correct - Mt. Washington, NH, 6288 feet. Definitely the exception to the flatlander rule out here in the east!
Hey i really enjoyed your snowbirding video is super informative especially for someone like myself at 71 years old I’m really looking forward to being a snowbird you can blame the coronavirus on that.This is something I’ve always dreamt about and I’m glad I came to my senses and to start to enjoy life. Thanks Again-Norbert M.
Helpful! Never thought about elevation like that before. I live in the Midwest. I hate to be hot and can’t imagine the desert in summer. Thanks!
Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks, Bob!
I LOVE your videos. Your philosophical life living encouragement is so uplifting!
Thank you for doing these videos, I'm getting ready to do some traveling with my husband who is retiring in January of 2021. We have had several RV's and have one that we want to travel in. We enjoy seeing what God has given us in beauty and awe. See you soon on our travels.
Sounds like a perfect schedule to live by! Thank you Bob. I will look forward to the videos!
That place looks like HEAVEN! So nice to check into your channel in the midst of rat racing 🐀Cannot wait for this series. The questions you address here are exactly what I’ve been wondering about. Wish I had some of the joy for life you have. I am sort of living in a comatose state right now just trying to create a comfortable retirement. Look forward to every single post. Your videos are a very bright, happy spot in every day. Thank you Mr Wells.
Thank you so very much for sharing Bob! You are awesome love it. 👍❤️
Glad I cane across this video. I’ve always enjoyed your videos. Currently in Yuma. Looking forward to living the nomadic life as a senior! Blessings🌺
good point about health issues like breathing in altitude. i forget such details 👍👍👍
You are my favorite person ever Bob. Thank you so much for everything that you do especially your words. You are one awesome dude and you're really helping to make this planet a better place whether you know it or not or whether anyone gives you credit for it or not, you rock brother.
Thank you Bob. I started looking for something like this but no one gave me the foundational info I needed but I kind of figured you would. Thank you for doing what you do! You're a hero to many people
OMG BOB... THAT BACKDROP IS EVERYTHING..✨😍✨😱
Heading out this April full time in my lwb transit connect. Learning so much on this channel. Thanks, Bob!
Thank you, Bob! I appreciate your videos and intend to hit the road soon!! Safe travels my friends 👍🏻
MT. Washington in N.H. (The White Mountains Region) is 6,288 Feet. The weather can be UNPREDICTABLE at the Top! N.H. , VT. & ME. all have GREAT Inexspensive Camping (State Parks or Private). Great Videos Bob!
Excellent information! Thank you Bob!!🙏🏻🙏🏻
Also he's right about Oregon. There are absolutely amazing places to stay cool in oregon. Unfortunately they are almost always booked and filled to capacity in the Summer. The coast (rarely mentioned but also a great way to escape the heat) as well as up in the mountains.
So beautiful and inspiring! Thank you, Bob. Bless you.
What a view behind!
Thanks, Bob!
Thanks Bob. Looking forward to seeing this series. God bless.
That view is AMAZING!!!! Absolutely beautiful!!
As usual, very good info, Bob. We all are so lucky to have such an intelligent and knowledgeable mentor. Thank you for all you do.
I learned so much from this video... THANK YOU!!!

Excellent. Exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m planning to start at your next WRTR. I planned 3 years ago and something prevented me each time. Thanks for your excellent teaching. I’m 65 and look forward to meeting others and learning about this lifestyle.
Thank you, Bob. You're an inspiration to me.
That scenery WOW BEAUTIFUL!!!!
This series will be very useful. Thank you Bob
One of the best setting backgrounds I've watched you in...I love how your dog invariably weaves himself in and out of your videos-every single one. Nice trademark!
Excellent! Have been wondering about this for weeks.
Thanks Bob for all you do and keeping people informed, see you at the next RTR, B
