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.

04:44Bye.

04:45Bye.

04:46Bye.

04:48Bye.

04:49Bye.

04:53Bye.

04:54Bye.

04:55Bye.

04:56Bye.
