There are a lot of YouTubers that live out of their van, but probably the most realistic option for Trooper would be to do the BikeKing thing. Where would he put all his mugs though?
Oh god he really needs to do some research. Anyone that knows anything about RVs is you NEVER buy a new RV. And yeah, if I were him I'd probably start out with a van. It's cheaper and less things that can go wrong. Unless he can find a cheap RV with low miles. They are out there you just have to look.

Good point. I'm sure he has ten dimes laying around to buy a RV if he can afford to burn $700 every poker session he plays. He could fairly easy get to a point with a RV vlog where that could be his sole source of income........

So when he is 65 his asset will be a 35 year old RV
Thanks for watching that so I didn't have to. That is the most FFed up thinking I've ever heard. I have a 15 year mortgage with about $550 in monthly payments. At the end of the term...I own a house and have had cheap rent for 15 years. What a bozo! Wow!

Lmao regarding Bikeking and the level of delusional thinking. He is no beating Trooper on this area of life, wich is an insane accomplishment on itself.

The guy is basically broke,living in his car and he doesent look anywhere near healthy. Its obvious that the stress of grinding and not having a stable home like an apartment is having a toll on him. At the same time the guy sits in his car with a camera and talk about big edges he have on the fields and many local fishes in the field. Maybe its time to come back to mother earth?

Reminds me of an episode of the Simpsons where Homer Buys an RV. Damn, I don't know how to post it in this thread.

RV, VW van, same difference. I would legit be interested in watching troop if he did this. He can park his ride and the local rv park then boost it over to the local casino, profit.

I cannot get dumb and dumber out of my mind when thinking about this though. Who can be the sidekick?

It's gotta be Bike King hands down. BK can teach him the nit lifestyle, better poker lingo, and they can do more food vs other food videos too!!

.........I think I actually would watch this lol.

Just for grins I looked up the circus circus rv park - figgered it would be on the lower end expense wise. 31$/night. Living in an RV and hooking up at sights aint cheap. If he wants to do "RV livin" he would prolly be better off converting a van and going into stealth mode.

I've met so many people in Vegas who eventually come up with this RV life theory. As if Vegas wasn't a cheap enough place to live.

So instead of heading back to casa del trooper, it’s going to be the trooper mobile.

it's just impossible for me to make it through a BikeKing vlog, the way he talks is brutal. Nevermind the enormous lie about his bankroll being lost.

I assume there's not a good way to screen those people out during the hiring process?


I'm not saying there aren't good workers (like you seem to be) left and I think people like you think they can't get to a good paying job so, maybe, they don't try hard enough. Those jobs, even at entry level, are still available in certain industries. You'll have to absorb some less than ideal schedules to get them, but I could have you making $60,000ish in two years, with the right work ethic (not door to door or insurance or anything like that either).

As far as screening those poor applicants out, I wish I could. It honestly seems like people are at least smart enough to Google what to say at an interview and with sites like Glass Door it's not hard to learn enough about a company in very little time to know what I want to hear.

I genuinely don't like it when automation replaces people, but sometimes I want to say that had they worked a little harder it might not have happened that way.

I've literally have a group that knows the target production rate is X units per hour and guess what I get from them, X. Not X+1, not X+anything, X. I get the absolute minimum and somehow, I've become very happy with that. If I can just get the minimum I feel like it's a good day, and that's sad.

RE: Trooper getting an RV?

Seriously? He thinks a 20 year "mortgage" on an RV is a good plan? Maybe my RV game (which doesn't exist) isn't very good, but do those things stay on the road that long? Do they run for 10 years?

I'm a Trooper fanboy and this seems like a rotten idea, even to me.....

You most certainly can sell a car that you are leasing. You actually "purchase" the car at a specific price when you lease it.* The lease agreement just specifies that the financing company must take the car back at a set residual value at the conclusion of the lease. But if you want to sell it before the lease is up, or keep it at the end of the lease for that matter, you are free to do so as long as you pay off the "loan." There is a specified payoff amount for the car that decreases for each month of the lease until you reach the final previously agreed upon residual value. You can sell the car at any point during the lease and just pay off the leasing company whatever amount you owe them at that particular time. It's really not much different than selling any purchased car that is being financed in the traditional way.

*Unfortunately, many people are unaware that they can and should negotiate this purchase price and they just focus on the monthly payment amount instead.

EDIT: I just realized this convo was precipitated based on mitsi's perceptions of what Trooper said. I imagine he was not serious about this, but I haven't watched the video.

If he WAS serious about the RV thing, I'd say he's like 80% of Americans (but of course nobody in this thread).... The cost is irrelevant. It's the monthly payments that matter.

Just skimmed through Trooper's late live podcast. A few lol quotes:

-"why am I always dominated, that's what I want to know"

-"I think we're behind. We're way behind"

-"we're just getting screwed now. That the way it goes"

"I knew if he calls, we were screwed"

Are you calling him a bozo for wanting to put a $75k RV on a 20 year loan or are calling him a bozo for wanting to live in a RV period?

Because I would agree putting a $75k RV on a 20 year loan probably isnt the greatest of options. First off, like I said in a previous post, buying a new RV is almost never the correct decision. I've learned this after watching hours upon hours of RV vlogs. On the other hand, if he doesnt have any money to buy an inexpensive RV outright and wants to get into full time RVing, that might be his only option. He'll be paying less than he is for rent. On the downside, he'll be putting the money towards a depreciating asset. So yeah, I guess it all depends on his current needs. But I would definitely advise him to rethink buying a brand new RV.
