Great to see people in wheels on wheels! I bought my van in 2019, with hopes of hitting the road spring 2020… well. We all know what happened in 2020. But, although the dream is delayed, the goal is still alive! Here’s to more of us ability challenged, overcoming! Thanks Chrome, for spotlighting this topic as your first van tours video on the new channel! Maybe one day, it’ll be me! Much luv to you & Cruz!
This is fabulousβ¦I know the struggles folks with disabilities face, and this gentleman meets those challenges head on . Great tour π
I’m so glad more and more disabled vanlifers are out there gives me hope for my home. So excited to hit the road.

You are truly an inspiration. I am a 73 year old widow and a couch potato. Tomorrow I shall get up and roam the roads.

Well I wouldnβt put him as being 77, I wish Iβm looking as good as him at that age. Also gives me hope for Jeffie Bear being able to return to van life. Thanks for sharing
Life with disability is hard but not impossible
Nice ππ½ already got over 6k subscribers and 8500 watchtime little bit more Watchtime Than the channel be ready to make some money π°
Great modification to van life for the wheelchair, so nice to have people like Richard helping people with disabilities. God bless you sir!
Thank you for sharing with us dude π
Awesome start to the new channel! Hope you get enough tours under your belt – and have enough time – to put out at least two a week. I enjoy them a lot – particularly when thereβs something out of the ordinary with the people or the vehicle. Not only is Richard an inspiration, as others have said, but his story make me stop and think about the excuses I make for not doing things and the complaining I do about things I would rather avoid. Sometimes you need to give yourself a kick in the ass! ππ»
Hi Chrome. Maybe he can give Jeffie Bear some advice so he can get back on the road.
I think you are talking about the connection to God’s world. Something that can be lost without nature.βοΈππ₯°
Great set up….great works you have done in your life happy trails to you.
Very impressive, just a great watch
Great idea starting a second channel.
Weirdos Unite Baby!
