Autumn has lived in her 2013 Nissan Sentra sedan and Class C RV for over 2 years, fulfilling her dream of living a nomadic "tiny" lifestyle. She started out in her car (that she already owned) in order to save money and she was able to hit the road immediately. She now uses it for shorter trips and daily driving. Autumn really excels at interior design for vehicle living! Learn how she transformed her car into a cozy, affordable, and organized home for under $300 and how you can do the same!

    She is a down to earth, smart, kind woman. I subscribed immediately. I'm a senior with health issues but I love viewing these young folks just starting out in life building a wonderful future for themselves.
  • I commend her for saying a thorough thank you to Bob. Sums it up for all of us. 🎉
  • @nomaderic
    Ive been in a corolla for 5 years now and i absolutely love it. Ive been to almost every state, almost every national park, ive lived in different cities all around the country and i love that i get to experience life in different areas. Its so fun meeting new people and seeing new places. I can't ever go back
  • Over 2 years in my Toyota Tacoma and share the same mentality as her. Was told I’m crazy, mocked, and laughed at, yet I’m living more free and debt free than ever before. Just saying. I live a normal life. I just sleep in a truck. Not to mention, I found the mental capacity to find God again and restore my faith. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.

    Wow, what an amazing car build! Autumn has the most organized car I've ever seen! She's also very enthusiastic about the nomadic lifestyle and it shows. Thanks for sharing, Bob & Autumn! I look forward to seeing what she has done with her Class C as well.
  • I can tell that Autumn was very excited to share her journey. She's very creative and quite the talker...and she's pretty also.
  • It never ceases to amaze me the enthusiasm and joy nomads have in sharing their rigs with you. It's been fun to witness over the years! -PJ
  • @aptigon398
    This is amazing. Fits my lifestyle as a minimalist. After living in a large empty house I found that it's pretty become my prison. I'm not happy paying a mortgage and taxes. I started car camping intermittently but slowly working towards longer time being on the road. Let go. What you own ultimately owns you.
  • @sunnydaze229
    I appreciate how cheerful and pleasant Amber is.
  • Autumn you are so clearly passionate about this! I immediately thought “wow she has a way with words”, and then later you said you’re also a writer. Beautiful soul, wish you all the best!
  • I think she is cute and very excited to be able to share her story. I like the fact that she is living life and her dreams! Enjoyed it! Safe travels
  • I lived 5 years in my pick-up truck with 5 dogs, and saved up the down payment for my 14 acres of woodland. It is now paid for. I have solar power as electricity and only subscribe to water as my utilities. Per month my bill (for myself alone) is $15.00 minimum flat rate and $120.00 for Phone plus Internet. I have cats and a small dog, and I usually spend about $45.00 per month for their food. Other than that, I don't need anything else. I cook on an open fire outdoors sometimes, and use propane bottles to cook with, on rainy days. I used to sleep in my Smart car when visiting my friends after moving away from them, to my Land about 100 miles away.
  • @serenityjewel
    I’m starting to think I’m really strong for a woman. I have a Jackery 1500 and I can pick it up fine. I also use two 5 gallon water bottles that I pick up when full. They’re heavy but nothing crazy. I’m a 51 year old who doesn’t exercise but maybe being fat keeps my muscles in shape, just from having to tote me around.
  • So nice to see such a positive, truly happy young person, so enjoying their life! Love her car build, very simple and efficient with nice little extras.
  • Good for Autumn for having the courage & initiative to do this. Many are forced into this situation because of economic situations.The window screens are a great idea!
  • Wow, this is such good timing for this video. I just bought 2 months ago a very low-milage Nissan Versa as i couldn't afford the vans out there right now & missed out on 2 SUVs. I'm trying to figure out how to make my Versa work to live in & in a winter climate. I'm just hesitant to make the move & go for it. Thank you Bob for another good interview 😊
  • @cotter9751
    What a great build for a car! Autumn is inspiring, she's really got a well-thought out build. Nice to be reminded that we don't have to get it right on the first try. Looking forward to exploring her channel! Thanks, Bob!
  • @robertdknight
    Looking forward to Autumn's Class C video tour. Sweet girl. Seems so happy. Gotta love that!!!
