@@thisvanlifeofmine , I truly understand, it opens one eyes to so many things--diversity of landscapes and so many interesting people who inhabit therm. I love hearing their stories.
I love how happy she is and the good advice about having to try it out for a while in order to know what works for you individually. I also like how she can put her water in from the outside, and I always love anything multipurpose like her chair w storage. I guess the shower idea works because of her short hair. Not sure how well that would work with someone who has a full head of hair. It's such a blessing that she has family who help her and who do wonderful carpentry work.
Mona is fantastic! Smart, capable, well organized and thought out build. She obviously knows what she's doing! On a side note, if she didn't grow up down the road from Dolly Parton, if be really surprised. Love her voice. She exudes charm, pleasantness, and selflessness. And something tells me she's got stories and could tell 'em well! Someone any caravan would be lucky to have. I guess I could've just said "she's a gem", and subbed.😆
And the power has changed since then, I am getting rid of all the Jackery's and going to Bluetti's. I still have the 500 Jackery but will change that out soon 😁
@@thefrugalwanderlustinglinguist Yes because the Jackery's take 4 hours to charge, the Bluetti's take less than an hour. Always buy more than you think you need.
I’m bougie & learned from the Great Toilet Paper heist of 2019. I’ve a smaller nozzle from Amazon & water bottle~it’s my bidet🤣Bought a couple packs of washcloths from Walmart & life is good. Take Care & get out there💙
At this time in my life it is unreasonable for me to consider van life but I follow Mona because I especially enjoy her outlook on life. In the past I had many travel adventures of my own and am now quite happy to adventure through others.
Brian, with his accepting attitude towards everyone, reminds me of Bob. I love both of them for their kindness. I really enjoyed listening to Mona talk about her van, and her van life. I’m certainly going to check out her RUclips channel!
Thank you I have changed since this video was filmed last Jan, I now have two AC180 Bluetti's, Trying to phase of of the Jackery's because they take too long to charge 😁
I love everyone’s little personal hacks that work for them, and to see the happy face when they are presenting them 😊 like her shower! I have my own little hacks that I love to showcase with pride! 👏👏👏👍❤️
Mona, this was a great tour. Im glad you were able to share it on your channel. Again, well done on your self build build. I like the Havelock wool insulation. When I do my tiny house and eventually get a van, Im going to use that. You will get a lot of new subscribers and bombarded with all sorts of questions. Congrats my dear friend.
Yes! Several builds, sometimes just from having funds to make changes and sometimes due to figuring out something that works better! Been in my van for 7 years and just now finishing ANOTHER remodel! This remodel has a bucket list of doing a CRVL tour this winter in Q! See you there 😊
Mona knows her system well, knows how it's configured, and how to operate it. She has a positive attitude and communicated to her audience very well. For me, I'd want a higher ceiling, being I'm 6 feet tall. I sure hope I get to see her out on the road someday. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Mona !! What a BEAUTIFUL video of your van life!! I LOVED it !!!You are so creative .. I love your spirit … for someone who didn’t have any experience in van life, you are amazing!!! I will be following your van life adventures.. Take care and be safe !!🙂💕
Oh my goodness Miss Mona...you've thought of everything! Great idea for the shower. I use a cement mixing tub for potting plants and I bet it would work for a shower base. Plus they are cheaper than potting trays.
After watching via Bob Wells etc ...for 51/2 years, I want a 2008 F150 Ford Econoline Van. This. Thank you for this video Brian. God bless you also. I pray you continue in good health 🙏 for many years 🙏 to come.
I loved the interview. I already watch Mona. She seems like a real nice lady. You are encouraging a lot of people who really want to learn to do this, and finally feel free and in control of their own lives and future.
I enjoyed this video so much. She seems so knowledgeable and upbeat. And I love her set up...especially the options for power. I just checked out Mona's channel and I can tell I'm going to enjoy watching her videos...very interesting!
I like the shoes rack. Great use of space...I think organized easy access to my clothes and shoes will make the transition to Van life less of a challenge for me.
Greetings from South Africa. I just love this lady's van buillt !!!! Very practical, especially the "shower arrangement!" and all the power she can generate!!! ❤
I so enjoyed hanging out with you that day Brian and filming my van tour❤🤗
Love your van, well done. The life on the road is rather addictive--I travel full time also.
@@atticuskilby515 thank you! Best decision I have ever made 😁
👍👍🙏
Nice set up
@@thisvanlifeofmine , I truly understand, it opens one eyes to so many things--diversity of landscapes and so many interesting people who inhabit therm. I love hearing their stories.
She is so cute and positive and smart!
Thank You❤
“What is my favorite part of this video,” he asks? THIS LADY!! She’s my favorite part. What a doll. I hope to meet her someday.
Awe Thank You! I hope to meet you also one day as well❤❤
Happy to call Mona my friend. I was one of those lucky women she helped at Quartzite. 💚🦋
Hey Hey Ramona my friend...see you on the road!❤
My best part of her video was hr attitude and common sense! You go girl! When there is a will there is a way!
Thank You I appreciate you watching😁
I loved her free spirit the most!♥️
Thank You❤
That jar opener on the ceiling, so convenient, innovative.
It's a big help for sure for those pickle jars 🤣
Lack of a shower/bathing daily was holding me up and with this lady - problem solved! Thank you!
You're welcome😁
The horses 🐎 were a nice tribute to dad and gives privacy too. Great job ⭐️
I love my horses 😁
Yes water bottle showers are a blessing when deployed to austere military bare base locations. Good to see her profile it.
Sometimes the little things are big blessings ❤❤
I use 2 peri bottles. One for top h😅alf of body@@thisvanlifeofmine
So much thought and innovation in Mona's van home.I love that she can take a shower every day. Happy Travels.
Oh that is my favorite part also😁
I love how happy she is and the good advice about having to try it out for a while in order to know what works for you individually. I also like how she can put her water in from the outside, and I always love anything multipurpose like her chair w storage. I guess the shower idea works because of her short hair. Not sure how well that would work with someone who has a full head of hair. It's such a blessing that she has family who help her and who do wonderful carpentry work.
Thank You for watching! Yes I keep my hair shorter these days just for van life😁
I love the water storage/pantry cabinet. Love the use of space. Never heard of a potting mat, but I have seen a pet shower pool, great ideas both.
It's a potting pan, used to mixing potting soil. It works great for me!
One sweet and tough woman all in one!
Thank You❤
She is SO cool! God bless her.😊
Thank You! God bless you and your family🙏
I love the HORSES!!! And the AC with generator is brilliant and a necessity here in AZ, I know first hand. Good job on the tiny home!
Thank You! I go South in the winter and North in the summer but I still have to use it occasionally.
she is a charmer!
😁 Thank you for watching

I get Dolly a lot out here 🤣🤣Thank you for watching❤❤
I agree. Sounds much like Dolly. Sweet too.
@@Mysteryofitall Thank You 😁
That Pampered Chef jar opener is a must for anyone with arthritis! I have 2!!
Changed my life the day I got it❤
@@thisvanlifeofmineSame here! I bought one for every family member. They love it too!
The power ideas were great but she is just so inspiring!
And the power has changed since then, I am getting rid of all the Jackery's and going to Bluetti's. I still have the 500 Jackery but will change that out soon 😁
@thisvanlifeofmine any particular reason? I'm still decide which to buy and how powerful it might need to be
@@thefrugalwanderlustinglinguist Yes because the Jackery's take 4 hours to charge, the Bluetti's take less than an hour. Always buy more than you think you need.
@@carefreehighway Yes they do!
I want a van. I’ve been living in a Honda Civic for over a year!! Love your story
Keep working towards that dream!
That can't be easy! God bless you 🙏
I am 5"9 I'm building a shuttle bus.I need to stand up.This lady motivates me
Mona is great, love her channel and her crew!
