In this video, Emily shares her experience of full-time truck camper living with her dog, Remy. After deciding to leave her career as an elementary school teacher and embrace a new life as a full-time yoga instructor, Emily made the leap to downsize and live on the road. From surviving the cold winter months in her camper to making healthy meals with minimal space, Emily provides an inside look into her cozy and efficient truck camper setup.

With 20 gallons of fresh water, she emphasizes the importance of conserving water for dishes and overall efficiency. She also highlights her propane-powered fridge, which runs for two weeks on a single 5-gallon propane tank, allowing for off-grid living for extended periods. Living Off-Grid in a Tiny Space: Emily discusses the mental health challenges that led her to this lifestyle change and how living in the truck camper and pursuing her yoga practice helped her find peace and balance. Her propane heater kept her warm during the harsh winter months, and the solar-powered system provides energy for all her needs.
The Blue Eddy power station is essential for charging devices and powering kitchen appliances, making the camper comfortable for off-grid adventures. Comfort and Design: Despite downsizing from her apartment, Emily talks about how she has everything she needs, including one of the most comfortable mattresses she’s ever slept on. With custom-sewn cushions and curtains, she transformed her dinette into a cozy nook where she can relax, read, and enjoy meals. Natural light from large windows and a skylight adds warmth and brightness to the space, even on the darkest days.

Outdoor Living and Self-Sufficiency: Emily also shares her love for the outdoors, where she and Remy spend most of their time. Her truck camper features an outdoor shower, which helps conserve gray water, and external storage for yoga mats, skis, and adventure gear. The rig’s 400 watts of solar panels on the roof keep everything powered while staying off-grid for weeks at a time../Tiny Home Tours
