00:00Welcome to my van home.
00:03It really hadn't occurred to me to be in the van full time until I saw someone else doing it.
00:10My name is Beverly Brown, I'm 59 years old and I currently live in my 2004 Chevy Express 1500 van.
00:18There are definitely some challenges about van life and it is absolutely not for everyone.
00:36I get asked a lot about the bathroom situation in the van and this is my toilet which is also my
00:45footstool and occasionally it's my guest chair. I don't tell them what they're sitting on
00:50and basically I made this pretty little cover for it but it's a just a little cassette toilet so it
00:59has a water tank on top and a holding tank on bottom. The lid pops up, I take care of business,
01:07shut the lid, press this, it puts water into the tank and then when I'm ready to flush it
01:13I pull the handle right there and the liquid releases down into the tank and then at some
01:21point, which is the worst part of van life to me, is I just unlatch it and take this bottom tank off
01:30and empty it.
01:34And then there's the shower situation. Basically I have a bucket here
01:39and it's a collapsible, a collapsible bucket that I fill up with water.
01:46I set that there. I have a, I have a hose here
01:53and I dip the hose down into the bucket of water.
01:59I pop that up and hook up the shower nozzle to it.
02:09And then I take the shower curtain and string it across the doors here.
02:18I have a bag full of clips.
02:26And I'll typically just clip it to the handles on the inside of the van.
02:30And string it across like that and that's my temporary shower for outside.
02:48At some point in my journeys, it truly has become my little tiny house on wheels.
02:54So I gave the van a name. I call her Jennifer Vaniston.
02:58And then to go with that name, I had to get a Brad Pitt pillow.
03:02And I tease and I say, we make Brad Pitt stops.
03:05And then occasionally Brad and I get into a pillow fight.
03:08A lot of people have opinions about van life and living in the van.
03:20And sometimes it's a little critical that like they feel like,
03:25I've screwed up my life and now I'm stuck living in a van.
03:29And it's not like that at all.
03:31I feel like in some ways I've been inspiring to a lot of people.
03:36I have a YouTube channel called Becoming Bev.
03:39So I get a lot of feedback from the channel.
03:41I do instructions about van life and adventures in van life.
03:47And I get a lot of people that are inspired by what I'm doing.
03:50And crave that kind of adventure in their lives.
03:56The best thing about van life is the freedom that I feel.
04:01And like I'll get questions sometimes like, how can you live in such a small space?
04:07And I'll say, but have you seen my backyard?
04:11So I feel like my backyard is oceanfront property.
04:16Or it's a beautiful river like where we're parked here today.
04:20Or a wooded area or the mountains or the edge of the Badlands National Park.
04:26How can you live in just a small skate park?
04:30Make my backyard forsehen andork?
04:38And I'll say goodbye.
04:39Bye.
