Affordable Van Life Luxury: Full-Size Shower & Super Smart Design!

[@CalicoWonder]

Love Bev Channel and lifestyle she shares. She said something in one of her videos that had a huge impact on me. She said regarding her best friend (who had betrayed her and hooked up with her husband...) She said something like "What helped me move on from this pain of this person was...I thought about us pre life, before we come to Earth, just us as Spirits. And my best friend spirit told me "Im going to do something that will hurt you deeply in this life but it will also be the thing that will make you grow deeply and lead you to a life you dreamed of"...Which was her new freedom in Van life. I applied that thought to my mom and I and it really helped me heal some trauma! Anyhoo THANK YOU BEV!

[@BecomingBev]

This is the most important, beautiful comment here. It touches my heart on a soul level to read this. What a gift.

[@staciebamsch2810]

What a beautiful perspective on something so painful!❤

[@bettystevens5397]

Powerful

[@originalsixx]

Wow, that really is impactful!

[@gweger6425]

​@@BecomingBevthank you so much for sharing this. This helps me so much with a similar experience except it was my sister. ❤

[@CindyKeefer]

OMG! Reminds me of an old west brothel! Love that she is living her own life…..good for her!

[@Kevin-zz9nc]

I was going to keep it classy and say she's a Lady in Red!!!

[@shumathievandayar3246]

😂 I'm trying to find out where does she cook n prep food. Besides a gas stove tucked away there doesn't seem to be much for prepping meals. A small draw or 2 for spices and cutlery. Otherwise great build. 😊

[@delightful75]

I was thinking the same era

[@CATAGUILAR]

I thought the same thing … I am glad you said it first . 😂

[@stphns1737]

Wow!! The reversible sofa is brilliant!

[@BecomingBev]

It’s a fun, unique touch.

[@FlyinDogRecords]

I wonder where she got that bench!!!

[@Jennifer-bs6oy]

Yes. Ingenuity at its best.

[@lindalarsson1436]

It looks hard and uncomfortable . Did'nrt thfoot area sit too close to the edge .

[@Billsfan2012]

Bev's van is amazing, but she herself is the main attraction. She has a gift for design and a captivating presence. It makes me want to hit the road and encounter someone like her. Bev, you are lovely.

[@jeffbartlett6578]

Reminds me of back in the 70s when folks would build vans that style just for cruisin. Nice build.

[@BecomingBev]

Those vans are still around and are partly my inspiration

[@davewilson8308]

The 70s vans were awesome! Remember the boxer dogs painted on the passenger side of van?

[@misst1586]

Love those vans❤

[@AstroVanTribe]

Bev highlights them vans on her channel frequently

[@BernWag]

I'm one of those 70s guys, I fixed up my 1966 Ford Econoline 100 and everyone called it my Wolfwagon, complete with a furry dashboard. I did live in it for a year when I was in college. Of course, in 1974 there wasn't much in the way of van accessories. Today I would have been a LOT more comfortable. I was just 50 years ahead of my time.

[@lorib.8605]

I adore her van, I love the vintage style, it is just gorgeous. She is a very pretty lady with a knack for making things beautiful. Hat's off to Bev!

[@BecomingBev]

What a sweet comment. Thank you.

[@TruthQuest4700]

As a child, I thought the train car on the"Wild, Wild, West" series with Robert Conrad was absolutely the coolest space ever, and this van build is reminiscent of that!

[@VanessaMallia]

Right!

[@wanderful_luna]

Ok so it might not be everyone's design style but the workmanship and extra details that she's included to truly make it her own unique home is outstanding. Bev, your smile says it all. Well done and happy travels

[@posteroonie]

Yep, it's amazing! I'm decor challenged, Bev is clearly decor gifted.

[@BecomingBev]

You’re nice. Thank you

[@Yotuel_rodri]

I love this woman… how personality she has…..

[@bypinkerton892]

It is Gorgeous.... Reminds me of the Wild Wild West Train.... I'd Enjoy living in it.... Thanks for Sharing....

[@BecomingBev]

I love that description. Thank you.

[@AgentSmith-x9p]

The back garage area also has the vibe of Kent Rollins cooking videos that he does always using 1800s camp cooking carts. Amazing aesthetics on this van for sure. I love that Victorian early 1900s style.

[@nmartin5551]

That is pretty remarkable!! Glad she is living the dream… her dream! Everything she said was her inspiration is what she nailed!!!

[@BecomingBev]

Inspiration is a beautiful thing. Thank you.

[@BoriquaBBW]

Before she said it, I thought 1920s Orient Express train car vibe. I think this is the most beautiful build I have ever seen. The mirrors, gold, velvet, and velvet make it have an elegance not seen in vans. I can just imagine a flapper girl sitting on the couch drinking a tumbler of whiskey.

[@MySonsMother]

Bev always has unique decor ideas. I loved her last van. This is really unique.

[@BecomingBev]

That’s a very sweet thing to say. Thank you.

[@atxatxatxatx]

That chair that switches directions @6:15 is such a great idea. So cool. Never seen that before.

[@josephmorgan3715]

I usually never give the front "driving" area a second thought, but I really wanted to see every facet of this van build! The use of mirrors to give the impression of a larger space was a brilliant idea!! The two-sided couch was an astounding addition as well!!!

[@dandaman2753]

If James West and Artemis Gordon did Van Life. : ) When you press the horn button it plays the the old TV show theme song. (If you can hear it in your head right now, then you know what I'm talking about.) And I definitely mean the original Wild Wild West TV show, not the movie, for you youngsters. But seriously, I really think this is a one-of-a-kind beautiful high-quality van build. Great job Bev!

[@prezodent2371]

It’s like a saloon from the old western movies , lovely

[@frankpohl4377]

it looks like a red light district ...

[@taxslave5766]

See what happens when two women get together and build a van, nice work ladies!

[@BecomingBev]

Heck yeah. lol.

[@albam.2607]

I absolutely LOVE this build. Gorgeous! Thanks, Bob and Bev.

[@BecomingBev]

Awe. You’re so welcome

[@RVAshsinApril]

Jonnie @Midwest Van Builders does a wonderful job on all the builds. This one did turn out beautiful.

[@AgentSmith-x9p]

WOW just WOW, this is one of the coolest vans ive ever seen. The Victorian or early 1900s theme is so cool! and amazing touches everywhere to bring it all together.. This van has completely changed what my plan is going to be, I never even thought about doin a retro theme and using those ceiling tiles and the mirrors and crystal style door knobs. The theme is awesome!

[@gweger6425]

Me too..5 stars in my book, why not?

[@janetfolkerts5827]

Becoming Bev has been a 'glamorous van dweller' for a while, I recall when she purchased the RV park and was putting in some unique dwellings for guest. I have lost contact with her but glad to see she is still on the road..doing it her way. THANK YOU for sharing.

[@gratefulgram]

Wow, that’s a beautiful build! What a sweet soul she has. Another amazing tour from Bob. Thank you so much for all you do. Much love and many blessings.

[@BecomingBev]

What a beautiful comment for me to read. Thank you❤

[@BecomingBev]

Thank you. Very kind

[@latymz]

Nicest build I’ve ever seen. So plush and elegant. She is doing her thang.

[@Shantelle6253]

I love Vegas and this reminds me of the elegance that Vegas used to embody. Back when the Peppermill was the epitome of fine dining. The waitresses wore velvet back in the day.

[@BecomingBev]

I’ve been to the Peppermill in Vegas. Maybe that was subconsciously in my mind. So cool.

[@Missfortune70]

Very unique space, I hope she enjoys it for many years.

[@SovereignEllen]

Amazing build and decor! Jonnie does a great job on her builds.

[@BecomingBev]

She sure does.

It gives such an Orient Express posh vibe. Congratulations to Bev and Jonnie for the great finish. I'm so glad I subscribed to this channel; it never ceases to amaze me. Great job as always!

[@MGMissy]

The mirrors also help reflect light inside the van, helping to brighten the interior. I love how the galley turned out! So many good ideas.

[@BecomingBev]

I agree. They do add some light. I love the galley too. I wanted it to be a wow when I opened the door.

Has me rethinking my plans as well. I have a truck camper and would love to go down Baja but I'm chicken... And the border is right down the street. Did you go with a caravan trip or solo?

[@michael49022]

I clicked on Bev’s build because I could tell that this build was going to be something different and it was. Bev hit the nail on the head when she said it’s like a luxurious train car. It’s like the presidents use to travel in when campaigning or like others have said, the train car of James T West in the TV series Wild Wild West that I loved as a kid. I like the extra access the extra sliding door gives. I also like the dual facing couch. I wonder if there’s a way to make a shelf on the outside to rest the feet when facing outside? Maybe a shelf that folds down where your feet can rest when the door is open.

[@BecomingBev]

I’ve thought about that shelf for the feet. I was also fantasizing about making it into a recliner lol

[@b.l.wilson9724]

Geeesh! That’s a beautiful build. Gorgeous Bev❤

[@bossman6174]

Wow that is some van. I am glad she appreciates the nomad life. That would not be for me, no matter how nice the space is. She sounds like a very gentle person and a beautiful soul.
