A WOMAN has transformed her boring beige motorhome into a Barbie pink paradise with the help of her husband.
Ariana Dewing, 33, a professional ballet dancer revamped the motorhome back in August 2020.
It took just four weeks to transform the 35ft long vehicle with the help of her husband, Eric, 56, and cost the pair £1600 to complete.
Ariana, from California, US, and her set design husband spend their days travelling across the US whilst both working.
And the couple have enjoyed living in their Barbie pink paradise so much, that they now want a fleet of them so others can experience the joy.
She said: “Our dream is to buy land and create a beautiful glamorous themed pink RV park with RealBarbieRVs available to rent, for everyone to experience the joy of living in pink."

Ariana explains: “My husband Eric has always grown up with RV’s and he knew the only way to persuade me to live in one was to make it pink and glamorous.
“Being a ballerina, I just love pink aesthetics, I didn’t want a brown and boring one so Eric knew how to make my dreams come to life, he is very creative and good at what he does.
“I have always loved Barbie since I was young, but my parents didn’t let me play with them until I was around 12, so when I finally got one I appreciated her even more.

“Even as a teen I thought it was cool, even when my friends had outgrown them I still loved them.
“Although I am inspired by Barbie, it was never meant to be a barbie replica Camper it just adapted into that.
"It was just a pink motorhome and a cute ballerina home, but one day when we were parked up, a four-year-old girl knocked on the door and asked me if this was the real Barbie camper.
“I told her it was, and invited her in to have a look with her parents."
From then on it was known as the Barbie RV, the couple got Barbie cushions to go with the theme and constantly have people messaging them about how much they love the motorhome.
“People love it and can’t believe it when they see it, they show genuine joy. We didn’t expect these types of reactions as we just did it for ourselves." Ariana says.
“When I was younger, I would tell my dad I wanted to be a ballerina and tour around in a pink RV, I was so serious about it and here I am."
Ariana and her husband live full time in their truly transformed pink motorhome since August 2020, as the RV lifestyle attracted them because of their careers, being able to be on the road at all times and tour the states easily.
She adds: “We park in RV parks wherever we are and we have a membership which permits us to use certain RV parks.
“It means we can go without a plan and visit anywhere in the US.
"We have driven across the US from California to Florida three times in one year, for multiple different performances and tours.
“My favourite place I have visited has been the River Bend Hot Springs in New Mexico.
Although travelling the country in an RV looks fun, Arianna admits it isn't always glamorous.
She explained: “We spend up to £322 ($400) a month on gas, it can be quite expensive, especially with the prices at the minute.
“It gets exhausting having to find new places to park up, sometimes we park up on the side of the road but we have to make sure it doesn’t look like we are camping.

“I have been praying for this for so long, I’m so grateful it has finally happened.
“When I was younger, I would tell my dad I wanted to be a ballerina and tour around in a pink RV, I was so serious about it and here I am.
“He is so proud and tells everyone about my life."
"We have a lot of photoshoots happen in it, and we love to share it with family and friends.
