    Wife & I bought my FIL/MIL’s 1972 Dodge Camper Van that he designed. A old sail boat guy, they traveled east, north, south & back home. In Bainbridge island, Washington state. So reminds me, they were ahead of their times……70, 80, & the 90’s,.

    My health isn’t the best. But I’m trying to do that as well. I’m not sure my health can handle it but it’s better than dying here like you say. My neighbors have threatened me that they want me out I’m not sure exactly who started these rumors but I believe it was a dirty cop. A lot has happened though it’s serious men of threatened me to get out who live here and as well as false reports of felonies have been distributed to my neighbors are false falsified in background checks I went to the courthouse and they’re not what they say they are those numbers. As well as a police officer got fired for filing a false report. And it has continued on my car was vandalized 43 times and now I have no car at all. I’m trying to Vian a van like that so that I can save my life and run. Cuz I don’t know what will happen to me next I’m 61 but I am disabled. Between my husband and myself Social Security we don’t get much I mean he passed so I don’t get much of his money. Please pray for me that I find a van suitable

    Love this woman….hope she’s still cooking along.

  4. Soothtapuhead on August 22, 2022 at 3:46 am

    I love the aesthetics of your van, most of the vans I see I don’t really like the look of them but yours is cute so I think it’d be nice one to live in.

  5. External Influences on August 22, 2022 at 3:48 am

    hope all is well… i love the color and age of your van,,,, van on!

    Hopefully you are still doing the van life. 👍🏻💝

    Я сомневаюсь, что кото-то прочитает этот комментарий. ну да ладно. Мне очень жаль, что это женщина попала в такую ситуацию. Вот оно лицо системы капитализма – работала до самой пенсии, платила все налоги – и что в итоге ? Невозможно оплатить себе жилье, еду и одежду. Идти в приют, или жить в фургоне. Я сомневаюсь что она от скуки пошла на это. Интересно – сколько стоит дом директора пенсионного фонда ?

  9. 300zx-SFY on August 22, 2022 at 3:50 am

    I love the set up best of luck to you Wendy!

  10. Susan Saterstad on August 22, 2022 at 3:53 am

    Is Wendy still van dwelling,? I sure hope so.

  11. Redbird Farm on August 22, 2022 at 3:54 am

  12. davidgriffin14 on August 22, 2022 at 3:55 am

  17. Sharron Brown on August 22, 2022 at 3:58 am

    Hi Wendy. I love how you have celebrated the colors and complimented them with the colors you chose for your accents. You’ve made it a very warm and inviting home and I love it! 👏👏 And Chrome, the music for this one was perfect! Relaxing and adventurous at once. I always love your music, but this time your music choices were inspired! Perfect for Wendy’s home. 👏👏

  18. Fox Adams on August 22, 2022 at 4:00 am

    Did the van have that vent on the roof already?

  19. Rita Broils on August 22, 2022 at 4:02 am

    Where is her bed?

  20. Mark Heather on August 22, 2022 at 4:04 am

  35. Astro Mann on August 22, 2022 at 4:19 am

    Love those 70’s camper vans, perfect size with the "john boat" tops..Cant find these in the snow belt anymore..they rusted away. I wonder what the cost vs average wage was for those vs what few camper van builders that are left in today’s market? There were so many van conversion companies back then that died out in the mid-late 70’s gas crunch. I remember waiting in line for gas with mom…at stations that still had it.

  36. Ruben Soto on August 22, 2022 at 4:21 am

    I love old vans they make me happy.

  37. BeagleEase Living Free on August 22, 2022 at 4:23 am

    Hi, Wendy! Welcome to van life!!!

  38. Mag N on August 22, 2022 at 4:25 am

    LOVE her van – especially the color. Wishing her the best of luck on her new adventure. Hoping to be in her shoes soon. Well, maybe with more options but loving her decisions.

  39. Diyar Taeb on August 22, 2022 at 4:25 am

  40. Sandy Ringhiser on August 22, 2022 at 4:25 am

  43. AJ Is Road Trippin on August 22, 2022 at 4:30 am

    Hi Wendy! You and your van are awesome! I hope you are well, healthy and happy. ❤️🚐

  44. Pedro on August 22, 2022 at 4:30 am

    I’ve watched these videos for several years and will soon make this transition. Wendy’s story resonates deeply with me. She conveys a sense of humanity, vulnerability and necessity, that is absent in most vids. Wendy is real, likeable, friendly and definitely the type of person I would love to break bread with. God bless you, Wendy. God willing, someday our paths may cross.

  45. Robert Saupe on August 22, 2022 at 4:31 am

    Sweet Ride!
    I love the oldies.
    And this one was set up in style years ago! If she ever wants to sell it let me know. That would be perfect here in the States and exploring the North.

  46. Delores Ward on August 22, 2022 at 4:34 am

    You go girl! This was so enjoyable and refreshing!

  47. Brian Austin Goodson on August 22, 2022 at 4:35 am

    I hope she’s doing well…

  48. A.I. Marvin on August 22, 2022 at 4:36 am

    My mother moved into a senior community, but she certainly was not waiting to die. She was have a wonderful time. more active than she had ever been.

  49. dan lyschik on August 22, 2022 at 4:37 am
