COMPLETE VAN TOUR - NO BUILD, BUILD - RAM PROMASTER CITY - SOLO WOMAN TRAVELER, CRUSHIN' IT!!!
It's unfortunate that some wind interfered with the sound in a few spots, but you can still hear me.
It's annoying, I get it . . . I'm learning!!

thanks Barbara!! I'm so grateful that what I thought would work, is working. at the end of this trip, I'll have it all figured out what I want to change, it's so fun!!!
Got a couple of ideas as I watched the van tour. Both are focused on the cooler. If you have more of the silver bubble wrap cut a piece to put it over your food. In essence you will have a cooler in a cooler. As your food dwindles the refrigerated space will be smaller allowing the ice packs to last longer. also put a piece in the cover. Secondly, and I wished that I thought of it earlier, we can drill a small hole for a probe thermometer ,like the kind I use in heating and cooling , so that you know at a glance what the temperature is in the cooler. I bet that sometimes you may change the ice packs prematurely not knowing what the actual cooler temperature is and it may cut down on your need for electricity for that and you will be able to use more "juice" somewhere else.

Excellent work LuLu!! A suggestion is to attach by velcro a beautiful fabric with pockets to the door of cooler so the big gray plastic is not so in your face and you can have more fabric pockets for storage. Also, a car waterproof tent with awning and mosquito net for the back of your car might be a good idea. Love all of your smart choices !!

hi Karen, I used this system for a two month journey and it worked well. I struggled a bit on two occasions with my electric because of bad weather and I bought a bag of ice twice to supplement. BUT, that's because I don't have the proper wiring in my van to the van battery to charge while driving because my power station is a beast. so I'm limited to only solar charging. I either need to have the proper wiring installed or I need to downgrade my power bank, I don't think I need one that powerful. but, all in all, the freezer/icepak system works well and I'm using the same system in my new build that is currently a work in progress, stay tuned for van build videos as I've already torn out the build from this video!! glad you are here! Lulu
The freezer and cooler idea is epic!
I cannot believe I found you - a person who eats the way I eat! The one thing that was a hindrance to me was my desire to continue to eat healthy food. I had seen nobody living very small and having space for all the good foods.If I ever happen to meet you, how thrilled I would be. I am nearly 72 years old but my dream for several years now has been to get in my SUV and travel. I would not be full-time because I still have a home in Nebraska but I definitely can do this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You're an inspiration Lulu! You're the first one who has addressed having a wholefood plant based diet on the road, this is one of the reasons I haven't gone for a van yet, but you're killing it. It's really important! I'm not so much into supplements even though I am mainly plant based but, the one non negotiable thing is vitamin D3 and K2 which keeps your immune system and cardiovascular system in great condition. I do eat a ton of nuts and seeds, they go on or in everything I eat and I just aim to get 30 different plants a week (that includes nuts, seeds and coffee which, apparently is where most people get their fibre from these days, who knew, coffee is jet fuel for your gut microbes but I dont drink it after 10am because it will mess with your sleep). Your video here has really given me a lot to think about. It's so amazing to see women of a certain age getting out there and living! You're exactly the same age as me, and yes, keeping the food clean and not ultra processed is a wonderful thing.

Well done for a ‘throw together’ build. I like your idea of the cooler/ice maker. On my last trip to Florida, I did something similar in that I turned an old Coleman into a ‘Franken-cooler’ by insulating it REALLY well. I had 5 frozen plastic bottles of water (1qt. each) and that kept my food cold for 12 days. There was still ice in the middle bottle when I got home. No need to buy ice, no swimming food. I love it!

Very well thought out and designed to fit your specific needs which you don't really see in some of the standard sized van builds. The placement of each "cabinet" or storage bin shows that you probably spent a few months "camping" in it to figure out where you wanted to put each item. Good use of recycling materials and cabinet and other storage bins! Love your design for easy access to all your necessary items. There was one technical issue with the wind making it difficult to understand you. A "dead cat" or fake fur cover would cut the wind noise and make any future videos much clearer on the voice end of your videos. Just a thought.

Ms. Lulu. You are a genius! I absolutely love the cooler/fridge set up. Just put it on its side. Who knew! Beautiful, clean and organized! Wow! I just love it all! Thanks for sharing.

hello Madeline!!! yes, my friend Bob came up with that cooler on the side idea, genius!!! I'm so glad you are here!! Lulu
Lots of great ideas!
This is inspiring. I feel like I could do it too. I’m excited and want to do this no build. Your build is so organized and I love it. Do you have the name of the cooler and the 12v fridge?

Thank you. Before I can commit to those I need to figure out if the inside floor space of my 2017 Toyota Sienna is comparable to the inside size of your ram promaster.

I just purchased the freezer you use. Can you send me a link for the ice packs that fit in it? Love your channel!

here is the amazon affiliate link to the ice packs I got: amzn.to/43oWJiy but please double check the measurements of them against the space inside, just to check to be sure!
Love that your friends flashed you!! Love your attitude and your quickie build. Keep doing what you’re doing! 👏🏻
We inherited a promaster utility van recently and I keep telling my husband we need to turn it into a camper for our family of 4. My husband keeps saying it’s too small. We just watched your video and he said, “well I guess if LuLu can do it, so can we.” YES!!! Thank you for inspiring such a boring man of a husband for me! Can’t wait to finish our build so we can take our family on some adventures ❤

it's a cozy life, if you can roll with punches, go with the flow, and make wise choices about the things that mean the most to you and take it along! heck, I even brought my tap shoes in case I feel moved to break out in dance! lol
Living my life now vicariously through you!
Brilliantly done! One of my favorite builds.
