It absolutely warms my 76-yr-old heart to see young folks like Rita "get it" at such a young age. No waiting for a traditional retirement to start living the life you deserve. I'm in love with Rita's bus; she created a home that reflects her talents, personality, and love of life. Hugs to Rita & her fur babies!

THIS...I wanna be just like her when I grow up...WAIT, I'm 74, is there still time, of course, however, I'm that artist/gardener that has roots that travels around my beautiful, tiny yard in Florida...but you go girl and be that beacon of hope for humanity, that girls can rule...!

Can we just get everyone thriving, living life on their own terms, standing on their own two feet while being happy and content. So many people are struggling just to breath. Too many people are busy living life according to what their parents, friends or society believes is the best or the most fruitful. Fruitful meaning the life that will bring them wealth and marriage not the one that will bring happiness. This young lady appears to be full of happiness and good energy.

Rita is very inspirational, her tiny home on wheels is a work of art. When she said that she would probably use "shag carpet" next time instead of her current flooring, that was funny! Thanks for sharing Rita's tiny house.

This way of life has been a thing for decades. It’s only now within the past 8-10 years (mostly because of KZread) it has become socially acceptable. They removed the stigma about living out of a vehicle by placing fancy names for it like “Nomadic Lifestyle” or living the “Van life” even “Tiny Home” living. Whereas in my youth it was called being poor, unfit parenting, living out of “your car because you’re homeless” or even being called “to lazy to work a normal 9-5”. I’ve also heard some people referred to as “the creeper who lives in his/ her van”. Occasionally we still here some of those make the same comments about the children being “confined to such small area”. Of course much that of was not true just like now.

So cute! It really seems to reflect her free-spirited personality. There are many tiny house builders in my area, some for as little as $7K. Also there are tiny house communities, many available to low income and unhoused folks that they can get into for next to nothing. One church runs a couple of communities that are beautifully maintained, mostly by the proud residents. Some even helped build them.

Much respect to this young lady and for what she has accomplished! I love that bus. BTW, not all vinyl flooring is susceptible to water damage. I had a friend who completely covered her floors with waterproof vinyl planks, but first, she took a sample and submerged it in water over a period to be sure. It passed the test. You can get durable waterproof planks if you do more research.

@@jodybogdanovich4333 I think you guys don't quite understand. Of course I will work to make my home on wheels my own, and I expect I will do a great job, but their is just the touch of art about what she has done. An amazing synthesis that I know from watching many KZread videos is beyond most of our abilities--and I bet she didn't even think about it. It is not that I doubt my own abilities, it is that she has achieved something that is transcendental.

Rita’s bus has always stood out to me as an artist! I’ve saved a couple tours of her rig as inspiration for my own 🖤 I love the eclectic nature of it

Such an enjoyable young woman! And she makes this transformation sound so easy. I love how she transitioned from hiding the fact that she was living out of her Jeep into "This is my Tiny Home on Wheels Life!" in her own unique style. I love how happy she is, untethered from society expectations.

Wow, your parents raised an amazing woman. You are so positive and very independent...I love it! You remind me of my daughter, Shea!

My favorite so far. She (and her bus) are so adorable. A true renaissance woman. Love it. 🥰🙏🏻

Rita has great energy and creativity...great rig!

Her engine knowledge and creativity for design melt together to form a very interesting and unique person! She really can do whatever she wants, and do it well. Cool build! Great dog mommy too!

This girl reminds me so much of myself and my van. My van was totaled a couple years ago and im finally rebuilding a new one; this brought me so much inspiration and joy. Love this girl and this life ❤️

Love your name of your bus so fitting and love the pups ❤

I LOVE Wilbur! What a cool colour. I love the extra doors and the fact that she has an art studio space too! These young women who do this totally ROCK!

And you have freedom to get as messy as you need without worrying about time restrictions and tidying art up too quickly... damn, I wish I was as smart as this woman. AND her art is actually really good! She thought about everything. As somebody that gave up art years ago...this video was a song for my soul. I’m so overjoyed she’s living, literally the best life possible for her. I hope more artists can build their own art freedom too. This could change the way we look at studio spaces. I’m blown away at the innovation here!

I’m an artist too, so it’s cool to see an artist living the van life with a full studio space set up!

Firstly, my favorite color is pink, but I would have a brighter pink for my build. I do love it though and love that outside little table by the door. It is so pretty. It is my dream to have a pink van some day soon. Since I waited until I retired, my time is kind of running out to get out on the road. All in all, I love what you have done with your bus. It is so perfectly imperfect, that makes it look loved and lived in.

I don't usually comment but I just have to say that I really admire this young woman. She is so cute and funny (shag carpet! Lol!) I'm 62 but she is giving me the incentive to try this myself. Way to go Girl! Thanks for the video and keep up the good work. Your art is so phenomenal. Hope We run into each other.

this size is about right. big enough to feel like a home and small enough to be driveable. but if I got one , it would be green.

I am so sorry you lost your mom. I love your pink bus! It's perfect!! Your dogs are precious! I'm certain they adore traveling with you, having adventures they share, as-well-as adventures of their own! Pursuing your art is fabulous! It can be difficult to make a living doing what you love to do, so anytime you can live the way you love, and work at a job that doesn't totally stress you out, than you are already ahead of the game!!

She is doing it while she is still young. Don't wait, it gets much harder with age. My brother lived like this all his life, refused to pay rent just to have a place to sleep after work. He became ill and had to live in a retirement home and hated it. He passed last July at 77 but, lived the way he was happiest!

This is by far the most beautiful bus I have ever seen. It had to be beautiful, because you are so beautiful yourself and artistic. The one regret I have in life is not following my dream to go to an art school and have my own art studio. I have been working on putting a van together to do some traveling, so I think I will get out my art supplies to take with me. Thank you so much for inspiring me to get out there. You are awesome!

Love this! Perfectly IMPERFECT! Exactly what bus life is all about! ❤❤So tired of all these $100000 bus builds with perfect this and perfectly built that.

I think that is a very wise idea to always have two modes of transport. Your turtle home and your off-road; but beyond that just having the ability to park your home and then go use another set of wheels to get around in is the right way to go in my op. thanks.

I LOVE the fact that she named it Wilber and painted him pink!! lol The engine bible is AMAZING!!! I know its one of a kind now! And the bus is so organic! Its not extra fancy like MOST conversions are, which I think is awesome! and she did it all by herself and fixes the engine by herself! This lady is amazing !!
