After her divorce, Eva sold everything and converted a 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500 van into a motorhome named Betti for about €30,500. With a friend's help, she completed the main work in six weekends, including insulation, wiring, and a cab-to-living-area door. The total budget, including the van, reached around $35,000. The motorhome features 400W solar panels, two Jackery batteries, a kitchen with 68 liters of water, a fridge, Webasto heating, and a dry toilet.
