While watching, the thought occurred that this man is smarter than most billionaires.

This is smart because some people get 1200 a month then get a $900 apartment maybe and have to go to church park to pay the rest of the bills. Never ending cycle. This man inspired me

People don't WANT to pay $900 on an apt, they have no choice! Rents are out of control. Fortunately, he has the skills to do the work, most women don't...thus the extreme poverty of females in this country! 80% of women over 65 are living in POVERTY in America!

they definitely gave that Bigfoot to the right guy! He's done so much with it and made a wonderful home on wheels.

This man was very smart in purchasing a heavy duty work truck and making it into a great, economical home!

dammm,this guy built hes house,no bills leave for free 💯.

Just wanted everybody to know that a carbon monoxide tester will not test RV propane gas. Only a propane gas detector. Propane gas does not put out carbon monoxide. Love all you folks out there

❤thank thank you for your service Veterans ❤

Van life is in my future for sure. This rent is Ridicoulas.

Social security raise coming in January, I'm sure that will be a big help.

Dickinson, the manufacturer of that stove, also makes propane fireplaces that have much smaller clearances. They come complete (heater, stove pipe, stainless mounting plate, chimney cap). The propane units have a double chimney that brings outside air into the sealed fireplace so they don't use inside air and they don't put moisture into the space they are heating. I have had one for over 15 years and there has been zero maintenance.

I have the propane model in my truck camper. Saves you time collecting wood. Just swap tanks, easy.

I also prefer the older looking rigs on the outside..mine looks like a junker so I never have to worry about break ins 😂

When you want a big truck camper, this is sure the way to go. I'm glad he was able to put it together like this. Thanks Bob for this video.

Hahahaha you noticed my stuffed puppet bat :-) There is a long interesting story behind that Bat. Maybe I share that story some other time..... It's a tiny superlight fiberglass canoe I can pull up to the roof of the camper with a rope. Its powered by a tiny trowling motor and a 50ah lithium battery. I charge it with the camper solar system. I love to explore shorelines :-) kzread.info/dash/bejne/anp3rs9-hJS3hJs.html

I like this interview style, vs. a person trying to video themselves giving a tour.

I’m not as knowledgeable as Tommy, and he has confirmed my suspicions that work trucks are the way to go! The fireplace setup, executed as Tommy has, is a great idea! Thank you both!!

Good video and nice camper with a unique wood heater ! God Bless !!!

Smart. Thanks for explaining about your work truck, such as dual tires, engine size, gas mileage, no extended cab, etc.

That was an impressive interview with Tommy. He does have a great rig. Gives me ideas.

Thank you to the person who gave you your rig!!!!! So many of us seniors are living on barely anything, I was so looking for the so-called raise, never saw it!

He has a very nice rig there. I wish him many miles of safe travels. Thanks Bob.

What a great idea installing a marine wood stove! I love his whole setup. I could live comfortably on my social security without worrying about how I’m going to make my check last for a month.

The worktruck was a great solution. Payload is such a concern with truck campers. Your “truck-talk” was interesting and informative. It's neat to see the big Bigfoot being used with ease.

A lot of wisdom put into that rig. The stove is a game changer turning the camper into a truly comfortable living area.

Nice set up very clever man

Another fabulous informative interview by Bob. I love the different diverse interviews that I know help others to see this is possible. Thank you Bob for all you do and thank you Tom for sharing with us. Much love and many blessings

NICE HOME, NICE SET UP AND A VERY NICE AND INTELLIGENT MAN.

Amen brother I live on social security disability and in my motorhome off grid and I would love to have a stove fireplace and my motorhome thank you Tommy 😃💖

Great setup and tips about looking for a flatbed work truck (it has great storage too) ...and thank you for spending the additional time on the fireplace setup. It's not "almost like you're home" (6:20), that IS a fantastic home you have there! ...home is where you are. :) ...and, Bob, thanks again for another awesome video!

I store the extra bottle of propane there. Everything propane runs off the campers propane cabinet. I only use the ac a few weeks a year in the north country. I remove the stored propane bottle before I fire up the generator and AC. I mostly just undo the cam quick tie down strap on the generator and chain it to a tree or something big and strong so it doesn't grow legs at 3 am in the morning. But I have used in were its racket strapped down if I feel its not in a safe area. I am sure a better idea will pop up and I will change that setup. This project is on going it will never be done. :-)

Tommy seems like a really nice guy. I hope he has safe travels

Really like this guy and his rig!!!

Nice job Tommy! I hope you’re loving your life on the road

Bravo 👏 thanks for sharing 👍

We can all learn alot form Tommy, what do you think? Smart guy.

Tommy seems to be a great person and I'm glad he chose to haul his camper with a dually work truck....I met some folks once that found out the hard way that a pickup truck with single wheels in the rear is simply flirting with disaster after blowing a rear tire, they almost lost their lives! I won't do it anymore!

Whoever set him up with the Bigfoot camper top did him a huge favor, NICE RIG!!!!!!

That rig is great , and a work truck is such a good idea....Loving that woodstove too

That guy knows what he is doing. He got IN that rig cheap to start with, and then added his solar and his heater and other things. A good functional truck with a 454 V-8 pulling it down the road.

Man woman or child no matter. Your never to old to learn how to fix things. The secret is start with simple repairs and look and learn how it works. Then figure what part broke and figure out how to fix that part. KZread is amazing with self repair videos. I find it hard to own something like a RV type vehicle and have to find someone each time I break something. Just the cost along for labor is a heck of a motivator. Start with baby steps and you will find others with skills are happy to teach. Next thing you know your helping someone else :-)

ahhh a glimpse into my future. Good stuff. Thanks for the video

Tommy's interview is very inspiring.

Great set up . I've got 14 more months till I plan on hitting the road as a nomad . I'm starting to look around and find something to build out for boondocking. Have learned alot from KZread and Bob Wells over the past five or so years and can't wait to be free . From Lake Havasu but stuck in Michigan for the next 14 months then Desert here I come.

Learning basic motor repair is an excellent investment.

Very smart man. He must be a great resource for others! Good luck, safe travels.

This man gets it. Great explanation on the marine wood stove.

Absolutely love wood heat in an RV! We put a tent stove in ours as an emergency backup. When I upgrade to a LQ horse rig in the future it will be that or a diesel heater.

I thought I was the only one that had multiple solar electrical systems on board Tommy here has two! I have 4 if you include the house battery that is a 100 amp hour lithium. So on my 1977 Dodge Mallard class C I have 800 w of solar & 600 ahs of lithium. I believe in having a backup for my backup. What a great build.
