Inside the Women’s RTR | Van Life for Beginners in Quartzsite

This video covers my first two days in Quartzsite, Arizona, attending the Women’s Rubber Tramp Rendezvous (RTR), one of the most well known gatherings for van lifers, nomads, and people curious about life on the road.

The RTR, hosted by the Home on Wheels Alliance, is designed to help beginners learn real world skills for living nomadically, including safety, budgeting, vehicle setups, and community support. If you want to learn more about the event, visit homeonwheelsalliance.com for full details.

During these first two days, I volunteered on the media crew, capturing photos and videos of the event while also experiencing the Women’s RTR from the inside. Being surrounded by so many women learning, teaching, and supporting each other was incredibly inspiring.

Toward the end of the video, I share a variety of van tours, showing just how many ways there are to live on the road, including Sprinter vans, SUVs, a U-Haul rental conversion, and minivans.

If you’re curious about van life, just getting started, or love seeing real setups and honest experiences, this video gives a behind the scenes look at what the Women’s RTR is really like.
