Economic Refugees RV

Economic Refugees RV

We're Bill & Darla (& Caije). When the economy was sinking back in 2008-2010, we were hit pretty hard so we decided on a 'Plan B'. We have been living the full-time RV lifestyle and workcamping on the road since 2010 in our motorhome We want to share our knowledge with others that are living this way or hope to in the future. There's a lot to share and lots of people have questions about how to do what we do.
We love to share the places we've been as well as showing you how we handle some of the repairs that pop up from time to time. We've also recently purchased an acre of land in Central Western Arkansas.
We hope you'll find some useful info. We'll also share some of our travels and places we think you might find entertaining Thanks for joining us. Please Subscribe, Like and click that Notification Bell! And leave a comment, we read 'em all!

    Sorry I missed the LIVE. During the summer months I feed horses at 7pm my time. But when the weather gets cooler I'll be on time to catch you guys. God bless your week.❤❤...good hair day Darla. Your hair is sooo long and so beautiful!!!...Bill I learned how to machine quilt and hand quilt by watching KZread tutorials. You could lear. Just about anything by watching youtubes.

    Dear Bill and Darla, can you please tell me if I need to dilute my 99.9% PURE DMSO to use on my knee and my eye? Hope you can read my plead. Thank you

  • @promomm
    @promomm19 күн бұрын

    Hello and thanks for inquiring. I dilute it for my eyes as follows...50% distilled water and 50% DMSO. For a knee, you wouldn't need to dilute unless you wanted to. It does sting so I follow with coconut oil on skin and for my eyes, I drop one or two drops of hexane-free, cold-pressed castor oil. It's good for the eyes also. Just be sure you store in a sterile eye-dropper bottle. I hope that helps.

    Glad you guys are ok and got home safe. We saw a utility trailer on the side of the road yesterday with all the tires burning on both sides. Pretty clear that his breaks never released. The guys disconnected the dump truck and pulled forward and everyone was just standing around watching it burn. We'll travel with you guys anytime. But I know the feeling. Usually, the only ones that want to travel with us don't know anything. It is nice to be a DIY guy. So can't you just use a gauge on the ac? My gauge says when it is in the green.

But God is so good that he equipped you guys with the knowledge of 'on the fly repairs'. You function wonderfully under pressure. You got her done. God is good. Wow!

    We bought 1 acre with home in Auburn, Kentucky not far from Bowling Green, Kentucky and we love it here so far. We still travel in our RV but when we plan our trips, we stay overnight 99% the time at Cracker Barrel., we try not to do truckstops rest areas anymore Walmarts definitely no Walmarts. We almost try not to give Walmart our money anymore because they’re not RV friendly. too bad about your truck. Best of luck getting it all fixed up again.
