In this feature film I document my travels in early 2018, from Tampa, Florida to Oceanside California. I spend a few days in the Arizona desert meeting up with some friends.

This man must be protected at all costs. He's too wholesome.
-
Nearly 5 years later this video is still legendary!
-
Me: “I’ll watch a little bit, but I’m not sitting through all 3 and half hours of it.” ....and three and half hours later, here I still am.
-
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? It’s a guy driving across America in his caravan. He shows many places of interest, some great views, he doesn’t talk too much, he even made his own music for the trip. You thumbs down people should get a life...petty
-
This guy has a gift; to be able to take a solo road trip and make it so engaging that we are drawn into a 3 hour ride for the highlights. Robert reminds me of my father with that appreciation for everything. Great camera work and selection of music for the background. Much talent showcased here. Thanks for being you Robert!
-
This guy is a YouTube gem. I love his accent, humor, comments, and the fact that he made a movie out of his trip out West. Lol I love this dude!
-
Just discovered Traveling Robert. His videos are absolute perfection: video quality, audio, content. Can't stop watching them. The best of the genre.
-
I passed out last night to a random playlist of catastrophic engineering failures. Woke up next morning to the sounds of Robert's charming voice!
-
Omgoodness! I'm retiring in 7 years and my dream has always been to HIT THE ROAD! Robert, you are living my dream. This is the best road trip that I've ever been on. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME RIDE ALONG. I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos. Keep up the great journeys. You have inspired me to get on the road sooner than retiring! THANK YOU AND YOUR MUSIC IS WONDERFUL AND MOTIVATING.

Been getting 😔 depression from missing all my traveling but I came across this video by accident and I can travel at my very own home laying in my bed but watching this brilliant calming video. Love the introduction and Story plot.
-
damn i thought 3 hours was a looong video, until i started it. i enjoyed every minute of it, drone shots were amazing! the trailer cam was amazing, the Kia was amazing, mini cooking show was amazing, you are now my Top 1 favorite amongst any van life youtubers.
-
You voice is very addicting. I told myself there is no way I will be watching 3 hours of video but here I am sitting and watching every moment of it. I truly enjoyed it.
-
Can't believe I've watched the entire 3.5 hours video in one go. Must have been a good adventure travelling with your RV. Best wishes from Islamabad, PAKISTAN 🇵🇰
-
I wanted to take a long road trip and this is my perfect cure. A virtual road trip.
-
His videos are so entertaining makes me wanna hit the road
-
I’m really glad that I found your channel, I used to drive all over the country for work. I was on the road 40 weeks out of the year. Now I am in a different chapter of my life and I miss those rest area sunrises. In time, I will buy an RV and get back on the road.
-
I'm Japanese and I've never been to America, but I feel like I'm driving in America by watching your video. I am also learning English.Please, traveled careful also to the body from now on.Kick ass !!!
-
Given that I have watched the whole 3:35 hours, I declare this video gripping!
-
Great video! 25 years ago, I also did a solo trip from South Florida(Ft. Lauderdale) to West Texas(San Angelo). It was an amazing trip! I also took I-75 and then I-10, so seeing your video brought back some great memories! Thank you for this amazing video!
-
Got done watching your road trip from Tampa to California and I was absolutely enjoying every second of your video. I saw it was 3 hours long and thought to myself, there's no way I'm watching this all and guess what? I did. You have a way of talking and presenting your videos that makes it a very engaging and enjoyable experience. It's like I'm taking the trip and doing it also. Thanks a great adventure.
