@@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.
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.😆
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.
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💙
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.
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! 👏👏👏👍❤️
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.
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 😁
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 😊
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.
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 !!🙂💕
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.
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.
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.
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

She is so cute and positive and smart!
Thank You❤
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!❤
“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❤❤
The horses 🐎 were a nice tribute to dad and gives privacy too. Great job ⭐️
I love my horses 😁
I loved her free spirit the most!♥️
Thank You❤
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😁
Lack of a shower/bathing daily was holding me up and with this lady - problem solved! Thank you!
You're welcome😁
That jar opener on the ceiling, so convenient, innovative.
It's a big help for sure for those pickle jars 🤣
One sweet and tough woman all in one!
Thank You❤
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😁
That Pampered Chef jar opener in her ceiling is awesome.
I love it ❤
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
Best accent ever
LOL thanks I can't help it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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!
love the tub! I dont even feel awake without a wash
I know right 😁😁
she is a charmer!
😁 Thank you for watching
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.
That Pampered Chef jar opener is a must for anyone with arthritis! I have 2!!
Changed my life the day I got it❤
I've watched Mona for several years and enjoy her channel so much. 🙏💛
And she's so smart.
Thank You for always being here for me❤❤
Just a sweet Gracious Southern Lady! In a class of their own.
Awe Thank You! ❤
My kind of girl. Shower every day!!!! Love this
😁 Thank You❤
Great Video!! This Lady knows what she wants. Keep posting and I'll keep watching 🙏👍

Thank You for watching! Yes I keep my hair shorter these days just for van life😁
She is SO cool! God bless her.😊
Thank You! God bless you and your family🙏
I love listening to her..wonder if she sings like Reba ? What a delightful lady. I'm retired and tell her she is an inspiration..!
Thank You❤ I get Dolly and Reba all the time🤣

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.
I bet that would work as a tub also! Thanks for watching❤
Mona is brilliant. Absolutely the best build I've seen on this channel.
Thank You so much!
Very Symphatic Lady
Thank You❤
You are ALWAYS welcome
She has all the "luxuries!" Her electrical system is well thought out. Sweet lady ❤
I have replaced the 1500 Jackery with a AC180 Bluetti. I will be replacing the 500 Jackery soon also. They just take too long to charge.
Mona is great, love her channel and her crew!
Thank You Love having you follow along❤
I like the perforated horses design. I could listen to her sweet voice anytime!!
Thank You ❤
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! 👏👏👏👍❤️
I love seeing others show their hacks with a happy face!
Very inspiring! It is all about the attitude 💖💖💖

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!
