  • I love sharing the stories and these truly impressive vans. Don and Becky and the folks at Vantasia Vans worked hard to create such a fun event, Spring Fever. This years theme was Vantoga, which included a full on toga party and a great band. A good time was had by all.
    Thank you all for being In the journey with me❤️

    Between the artistry and the people, you were in your element there. As it seems you would be almost anywhere. I kept waiting to see you raise a bunny ear, but maybe you didn't want to steal the show!
    Good luck with the new van/build. When I met Jonnie for lunch on her way back from a build in VT, I was shocked at how much bigger her ProMaster was than I expected in all 3 dimensions.. My car and her van were parked on the other side of the road from the restaurant, in an overflow parking lot, so we had a long-distance perspective looking straight at the front of them next to each other. The van was twice as tall as the car. And from the side, it looked like you could do a gymnastics tumbling run in it without hitting the ceiling.

    • @BecomingBev
      @BecomingBev  11 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, my new van feels enormous. Lol. It’s funny, I let someone wear the bunny hat for most of the evening. She was having so much fun with it that I gave it to her. Time to order a new one.

    Another great Becoming Bev video. Did you ever think back in your "normal" life that you would ever be doing something like this? So many memories came back watching this. Back in the late 70's I knew a kid that spent two years doing his van. Even had a custom made water bed in the back and of course it had shag carpet. Finally got the van done and backed it out of the garage and on the road. Went down two houses where there was a stop sign. Turned right and almost rolled the van when all that water sloshed to the left. Oops! I was in San Francisco back in the 90's and drove down to Monterey. What a beautiful drive. They had scenic overlook pullouts from the road. Could not believe how many old 60's-70's VW vans I saw with flowers painted on the side. I wondered if it was old hippies still or a new generation that had bought the van. Last memory was one you showed Roamer. I had a 1969 41 foot Chris Craft Roamer boat for a long time. So many memories of diving and boating. The Roamer line was steel or aluminum hulled boats. So glad you are living life!!! .

    In the video business, shutting the camera off when you think you're shooting and vice versa, is known as "reverse trigger." PITA when it happens.

    • @BecomingBev
      @BecomingBev  11 месяцев назад +2

      Yes, There appears to be two separate van groups, although there are some crossovers like me. The van life group seems to live in their vans or travel for extended periods of time. They’re more likely to really enjoy the outdoors and sitting around a campfire. The vanners meet during the summer at van rally’s or truck ins. They are weekenders and are more likely to have a show van. What both groups have in common is that they LOVE their vans.
