Solo Female RVer Traveling in a 2009 Born Free 22 feet By Story Chasing~R.Holbert-Jones Page, Sunset SC


To see all of my categories go here and here.

So here I am talking about another female RVer living in her RV although temporarily. She has decided to live in it for a year while she rents out her house for that year. She was interviewed by Story Chasing who gave up her house and now lives in her RV. She lived in it with her little dog Lily but the little dog a couple of months ago. She took her to the vet and found out she had cancer and it took her very quickly. It was a sad video watching her say good-bye to her pet. Pets are like family and I've lost a number of cats over the years and a dog so I know how painful it is. My favorite, a chocolate point himalayan, was killed right outside of my home. We lived right next to a busy road and I told my husband not to let him outside but he did and the cat got killed. That was a very hard day for me.

Last year, I tried to rescue two little orange kittens and someone ran over one of them. I did a whole video on that. It occurred in Chamberlain, South Dakota and at some point I will come back and talk about it.
In fact, so far the only videos I've shared on this blog have been other peoples. I find something I like and I share it and talk about it and other things. I tend to get off track easily even though I try not to.
Back to this RV, it's a really nice one. I do another post on a truck camper and I will link to that post at the bottom. I would love to have an RV like this one. It has a 60 gallon tank. I can't remember if that's the black water or gray water tank. The truck camper has a 65 gallon tank. The RV is a little larger than what I'm looking for though. Before I came here to Memphis to care for my aunt I was looking at short bus schoolies. I'd have to do a lot of modifications which I'm not really into but this is what I was looking into. Before I left Florida in March(2022), I was only there for about six weeks so I didn't have much time, I was looking at vans and schoolies because they were quite a bit cheaper there especially in West Palm Beach. I was in Marianna and found one but it was such a long drive to go and see it that I ended up not going. I also found a nice 2003 Toyota Sienna that was really nice with fairly low miles. I think it had 135,000 miles give or take. I waffled. A minivan isn't my first choice partly because I can't stand up in it but it would be an upgrade compared to my car. But for now, my car will have to do until I can do something else. I have some other things going on that I'm not talking about here. I've talked about it a little bit on my wordpress blog but not a lot. Not yet.

I also need to create more content for this blog. I've already gotten my wordpress blog up and running and was approved for Wordads. I didn't know how easy it was. Once I upgraded to a premium plan and got my domain I was automatically approved for their advertiser program. I had no idea it was that easy. It won't be near that easy with adsense. The last couple of new blogs I tried to get approved the adsense team refused to approve it. Maybe I didn't have enough content or they didn't like it. I'm not sure. Right now I'm working on two blogs here. This one which is a personal blog geared towards my videos and a few others, the other one is geared haunted places, items, etc. My wordpress blog is a combination of van life, travel and photography with haunted places and cemeteries thrown in. I did put up one post that was about a Ouija board I sold on eBay a few years ago but I will probably move it back to the Haunted blog. I already have a number of posts there about haunted items I've sold. My wordpress blog is a combination of personal and other stuff but it's becoming too much of a mashup which I want to stay away from.
Again, I've went off on a tangent.

For those of you like me that can't yet afford a camper/van of any kind or just haven't found what you're looking for there is this cool truck bed tent. I chose this exact one and I talk more about it on my other blog. There are others besides this one but this is the one I picked. It fits my Dodge Ram and my boyfriend's Ford F-150 just fine. Before this I had a Nissan Titan and it fit it too. According to the specs it will fit the Ram, Tundra, Titan, F-150, Silverado and probably many more with beds that measure 5.5 to 6 feet. A long time ago I had a Silverado with this brand of tent that worked well. I like the tent, it is better than sleeping on the ground. I am looking for a topper for my truck.


I'm also looking at a truck canopy and this is the one I'm looking at. It will fit my 2010 Dodge Ram 1500. Truck Topper-Canopy.........They don't seem to have as many options as they had just a few weeks ago. You can also choose a rooftop tent. Some people like them, some don't. I have one on my 2011 Jeep Wrangler. I already have a top rack. If you don't have one you may have to get one. I also have a roof cargo box that requires a roof rack. This is the Rooftop Tent and this is the one I use. 
As for the cargo box I chose a Thule. I saw one and got interested after watching a YouTuber who put one on her VW bug and she said it was a game changer. I was first looking to put one on my car but the only one that will fit my car is a Yakima and I think there's one other. I put this roof box on my Jeep Wrangler. Here's the Thule Rooftop Cargo Box that will fit a number of vehicles. This one adds 16 cubic feet of storage, is only 41 pounds and will hold up to 165 pounds. It provides a lot of extra storage space and gets much of the stuff you'd store inside the vehicle out of it and up top and out of sight.

Until next time……..My story………………I’m Rachel Xie Qi Holbert-Jones Page and this is my story: living part time in Iva, South Carolina (Anderson County SC) and part time in Hartwell, Georgia on my boyfriend Malachi’s boat, a 1986 Chris-Craft Catalina 381, at the Hartwell Marina which technically doesn’t allow liveaboards so I can only stay there sometimes. He purchased a 1996 Holiday Mansion 39 Barracuda, a 1977 CHB Trawler 34 (I’m remodeling), a 1986 Marine Trader 54 Sunliner that I’m updating. Malachi and his brother purchased a 2018 Sunseeker Manhattan 52 and a 2001 Nordic Tug 37. I still have the 2001 Adventure-Craft 2800 in the Outer Banks that I’m currently not renting (but call home) because I’m behind on rent payments but I have the ability to go back to once I catch up (The landlord is a friend). *********************************************************************** I’m still taking care of my aunt in West Virginia but not as much anymore and hoping not to have to return to Memphis, Tennessee. We are scheduled to get my aunt moved to Dead Women Crossing, Oklahoma but it keeps getting moved farther out. I’m still traveling and road tripping for work and have been to my Uncle’s ranch in Alpine, Texas to oversee it and the cattle he titled in my name, Texas Longhorns, Scottish Highlands, Brangus and show horses. He’s also added some Bison and Beefalo to his ranch in addition to his other livestock. I still have a lot of familiarizing to do and I’m very happy to learn about the cattle, horses and the ranch. ************************************************************************* For my work travels my uncle purchased a beautiful blue 1995 Ford E-150 Econoline GT Starquest Campervan. I wasn’t sure at first about him purchasing an older van like this but the man that owned it previously had completely converted it with solar power and electrical and while it was priced higher than he wanted it was a great deal for all of the work the owner had done. It only has 112k miles and since I haven’t driven it much and it was purchased it in January 2024, it still has the same mileage. It only has a sealed portable toilet but that is okay because I prefer a public toilet and only use a camper toilet if I’m dispersed camping or at a Walmart and have no choice. I prefer rest areas and truck stops and only stay at a Walmart or Cracker Barrel if I must. For short trips, I drive a car or SUV my Uncle gives me. ************************************************************************* I have an avid love for photography and capturing the essence of old, abandoned properties, allegedly haunted places, classic, antique vehicles, lakes, rivers, nature and historical places. I’m not a ghosthunter or paranormal investigator although I’ve had people request me to lead their groups, I’m a legend Hunter which means I love to chase the legends. I love scary podcasts and spend more time on YouTube or Audible than Peacock or Tubi. I used to watch TV or movies when I stopped for the night but now I usually go right to sleep when I stop and prefer the podcasts of Darkness Prevails, What Lurks Beneath or Swamp Dweller. I like to listen to scary trucker stories too, occasionally Carmen Carrion or grizzly/polar bear attacks. On Audible I like books but have only finished one or two so it doesn’t really pay for itself. I do like the Dateline Podcasts. I’ve recently developed an interest in the law and like google scholar and casetext for research, medium, wordpress and blogger for writing, YouTube, listening to van lifers and people living in their cars, SUV’s and RV’s. I like Facebook groups geared toward van life, camping and road tripping, unsplash, pexels and pixabay for public domain photos, pinterest, instagram, reading, greek mythology, the metaphysical, ebay, shadowlands (for places that are supposedly haunted) and the internet. ***********************I like creating videos, photography, blogging and going to car shows when I’m not working which consists of scouting for investment properties and rehabbing/remodeling those properties after my Uncle and his business partners purchase the houses. We also remodel old boats and restore classic cars. When not working, I like camping, photography, museums, historical places, art galleries, antique shops, anything old and driving deserted back roads. I’m also into fitness, weightlifting (although I haven’t been doing much of it this winter because it’s cold and I like to exercise outside), nutrition, healthy eating, gua sha, face rollers, beauty, fashion and recently tai chi and yoga. ***************************************Visit my blogs at https://rachelholbertjonespage.comhttps://sassygrrl32x.blogspot.com and https://youtube.com/sassygrrl32 *****************************************By Rachel Xie Qi Holbert-Jones Page AKA sassygrrl32 & Haunted Legendhunter & Bourbon Street Blogger *******************************************For my name change: First, it is part of my rebranding and second I wanted to take my great-grandmother’s maiden name and incorporate it into my name for heritage sake. Xie means “thank” in mandarin, it dates to the Nanyang in the Henan province, annexed around the Western Zhou dynasty (1076-771 BC). In ancient chinese it meant “acrobat skills” and “flying upward” as in a bird. The Xie family name was found in the USA in 1920 in Wisconsin. Da Xie means to “express one’s thanks” and Xie Mei is “harmonious and graceful.” ************************************************************************ Qi (Che, Chi, pronounced chee) means “the circulating life force whose existence and properties are the basis of much chinese philosophy and medicine”; “the energy in everything”; “vital life force.”; “flowing vital energy.” **************************************************************** In traditional chinese philosophy and medicine, qi is an unseen energy that flows through everything, binding all things together within the micro and macro elements of the universe. And one more interesting tidbit: Low Bow (bowing as low as you can) is reserved for people of much higher stature than yourself and indicates deep respect. ***********************************************#rachelholbertjones #rachelxieqiholbertjones #sassygrrl32 #sassygrrl32x #Iva #SouthCarolina #Hartwell #Georgia #andersoncounty #livinginacar #vanlife #nomadlifestyle #carcamping #roadtripping #boondocking #carlife #livingoffgrid #vandwelling #vanliving #personalblogpage #legendhunter #haunted #abandoned #rhjonespage #rxqhjp #rxqhjonespage #rxqhjpage rxieqiholbertjones #rachelxieqi #rachelxieqiholbertjonespage #xieqiholbertjones #xieqiholbert #xieqi #sassyaftersixty #deadwomencrossing #oklahoma #westvirginia #memphis #tennessee #sassyaftersixty #bourbonstreetblogger #bepositive #prayer #GodBless #vitallifeforce #flowingvitalenergy #unseenenergy #taichi *****************************************As a side note: To explain my homeless/houseless situation, my ex boyfriend sold my house without my permission by signing the purchase agreement online and not talking to the buyer. The buyer was a wholesale agent in Florida, the house is in North Carolina, so there was never any meetings. The wholesaler sold the contract (reassignment) to someone else. My ex BF took the money. Unfortunately, we had joint accounts. We are now in litigation (with the buyer) and are currently in an appeal and I have several motions set for a few months from now. There were a lot of discrepancies in the contracts as well as a number of errors the trial court made. In one contract I was listed as my father’s wife, my address was wrong, there were many mistakes. The whole thing (closing) took place out of state. I’m looking for my ex BF so I can take a lawsuit on him but he lives full time in his RV so I have no idea where he is currently. He has a post office box and several certified letters have been sent but went undelivered and I’ve certainly not told him I’m trying to serve him with a lawsuit. The last known address I have for him is in Arkansas and he uses his brother’s address in Tennessee (summons has been sent there too and went unserved by the sheriff). ****************************************************I just wanted to share, a lot of people on my YouTube channel wanted to know the story and many don’t understand how someone else can sell your property out from under you but it happens. It happened to me. It was inherited property and many of my friends believe I was targeted. This isn’t something I can really talk about in my videos. I have a little but I have to be very discerning on what I say and technically I’m probably not supposed to be talking about considering I’m seeking to sue my ex boyfriend for his part. I’ve tried going to the police but they couldn’t help me. They said it was civil matter. So there you have it.
