Welcome, thank you so much for visiting my website, cheaprvliving.com! This site is dedicated to helping you discover an entirely new alternative lifestyle—nomadic living—that can radically change, and hopefully drastically improve, the quality of your life. I have two goals for our time together, 1) to Inspire you to make the leap of faith required to explore the nomadic life, and 2) teach you everything you need to know to make it a successful leap!
However, there is a slight problem with that; because I began the website in 2005, and have worked hard at it ever since, there is an enormous amount of information here—that is a good problem to have! The hard part is making it easily searchable and findable for you. This page is to help you make good use of the site.
Some information is accessible by using the Menu buttons across the top of the Home Page. The most commonly sought information is available from there, but the answer to specific questions is probably not, so where do you go to easily find all the deep reservoir of knowledge this site contains?
The answer we discovered is an app called Knowledge Base that is installed on this site.
When you go to the Knowledge Base page, you’ll find Headings that cover each topic of Nomadic Living. All you need to do is find the heading that covers the topic you are curious about, then read through the list of posts about that topic to find the one most like what you are interested in, then click on it to read the article.
Some topics can fit under more than one heading, for example, you might be looking for info on how much solar power you need to run a refrigerator so you can search for “refrigeration,” “cooking,” or “solar,” and hopefully find an article that can help you.
Hopefully you can find an answer to all your questions using those search functions!
My heart felt thanks to Bob for everything he has and continues to do for the Nomad community!!!
You are a TRUE HERO with a servants heart and I will forever cherish everything you have inspired in me to live my nomad life. Love You!!!!
Thank you Bob for helping so many people. I have followed you for several years watching your videos. You are a hero and an inspiration. May God continue to bless you as you have blessed others

Thank you. I’ve watched on and off for a few years now. There’s always so much helpful info here. We do appreciate it.
Where on the site do you find the link for Knowledge Base? I haven’t been able to locate it.
It’s the LEARN link in the menu bar.
This may not be the right part of the forum to bring this up, but I have some genuine concerns about the future of nomad life, given that governments are open about their desire to limit freedoms. Countries in Europe are already introducing the social credit score based partly on how much fuel a person uses, and when this is combined with the soon coming digital currency, the idea is that people still driving petrol/diesel vehicles will only be allowed to buy a certain amount of fuel a week. (Digital currency is programmable.) Since there will be no cash at that point, it seems that governments will indeed be able to limit movement and therefore freedom. There doesn’t seem to be any way to avoid this, but I would be interested in others thoughts? Cheers, Janet.
I think what you are doing is great.
I am contacting you to ask some questions regarding nomadic living.
First some back story me and my wife are both on disability we barely make it check to check.
My wife is legally blind has symptoms similar to ms and parkinson’s has degenerative disc and joint disease as well as heart and BP issues.
we have 3 large breed dogs one of which is 11 yr old great Dane service dog and 2 ten mo old mastiff puppies.
We’ve been together for 22 years.
I am receiving a settlement and I am buying a truck and financing a tiny house on a trailer which brings me to my questions: how can my wife with her complex medical issues adapt to life on the road?
How can we get her medical care and still be mobile?
Is there virtual drs that can prescribe no matter where u are located?
How can one subscribe to the blog posts?
Good question. I’ll find out.
We added that feature. Click the “Notify me…” box below.
Hi, I was at the Rtr volunteering and only heard a little bit the nomadic philosophy speech by bob. I rely would love if I could get the name of the books he was recommending. I think there were 4 books. I would really appreciate it if you could send the list of the books he was referring to.
Thank you so much.

I’ve run the idea of a Bob’s Reading List article past Bob. We’ll see what comes of it.
Bob Wells and the incredible people of HOWA changed my life forever!! I was living in a Chevy trailblazer and a tent. I suffer from MS. I had a wheelchair carrier on back of suv. I was in bad shape. I got much healthier,better view of life, and Bob Wells gave me a direction to point my life in. Suanne Carlson gave me a bus named “Hannah”. It gave me a home. I am forever Grateful! This allowed future good things in my life.
I attended WRTR and the RTR 2022 and absolutely loved attending all the classes. Even though I had been watching Bob’s CRVL videos for years I took notes and learned a lot. But when Bob gave his talk on philosophy I was entranced, forgot to take notes and regret that lack to this day! If at all possible could the video of his talk be posted…? Or could someone write out his words? With a multi cultural background and a love of humankind his philosophy struck a chord with me. Thank you .
I’m 75 female. I have purchased a 890 Ford
e150 and am attempting to convert it myself. Bob’s video’s have helped a lot so far. I’m hoping to find some info on how to power my house. Batteries, solar everyone has an opinion so my delema is who to listen to. Some say batteries one for van one for house with continuous solenoid which sounds the easiest way. Solar is to complicated. I’m hoping to find the answers here.
Thank you for all you do.
