00:00Welcome to my van home.
00:03It really hadn't occurred to me to be in the van full time
00:07until I saw someone else doing it.
00:10My name is Beverly Brown, I'm 59 years old
00:13and I currently live in my 2004 Chevy Express 1500 van.
00:25There are definitely some challenges about van life
00:29and it is absolutely not for everyone.
00:37I get asked a lot about the bathroom situation in the van
00:41and this is my toilet, which is also my footstool
00:46and occasionally it's my guest chair.
00:49I don't tell them what they're sitting on
00:50and basically I made this pretty little cover for it
00:55but it's just a little cassette toilet.
00:58So it has a water tank on top and a holding tank on bottom.
01:03The lid pops up, I take care of business,
01:07shut the lid, press this, it puts water into the tank
01:12and then when I'm ready to flush it,
01:14I pull the handle right there
01:16and the liquid releases down into the tank.
01:18and then at some point, which is the worst part of van life to me,
01:25is I just unlatch it and take this bottom tank off and empty it.
01:31and then there's the shower situation.
01:37Basically, I have a bucket here
01:39and it's a collapsible bucket that I fill up with water.
01:46I set that there.
01:48I have a hose here
01:51and I dip the hose down into the bucket of water.
01:55I pop that up
02:00and hook up the shower nozzle to it.
02:02and then I take the shower curtain
02:13and string it across the doors here.
02:18I have a bag full of clips
02:20and I'll typically just clip it to the handles
02:28on the inside of the van
02:30and string it across like that
02:41and that's my temporary shower for outside.
02:43At some point in my journeys,
02:50it truly has become my little tiny house on wheels.
02:54So I gave the van a name.
02:56I call her Jennifer Vaniston
02:57and then to go with that name,
03:00I had to get a Brad Pitt pillow
03:01and I tease and I say we make Brad Pitt stops
03:05and then occasionally Brad and I get into a pillow fight.
03:13A lot of people have opinions about van life
03:18and living in the van
03:20and sometimes it's a little critical
03:23that like they feel like I've screwed up my life
03:27and 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
03:34to 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
03:44and adventures in van life
03:46and I get a lot of people
03:48that are inspired by what I'm doing
03:50and crave that kind of adventure in their lives.
03:56The best thing about van life
03:58is the freedom that I feel
04:01and like I'll get questions sometimes
04:04like how can you live in such a small space
04:07and I'll say but have you seen my backyard?
04:09So I feel like my backyard is oceanfront property
04:16or it's a beautiful river
04:18like where we're parked here today
04:21or a wooded area or the mountains
04:23or the edge of the Badlands National Park.
