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!!
I don't know what I'm doing but I'm doing it anyway!! LOL
Thanks for being here,
Lulu

    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!

    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.

    FANTASTIC!!! LuLu you did an amazing job and everything looks great. For a temporary “throw-together” it is absolutely fantastic. I am so impressed and amazed how everything came together and just fit perfect. I’m looking forward to your “healthy lifestyle” videos, I am so intrigued. As I am approaching 60 I have been facing some pretty serious and scary health issues that have, I’m sad to say, finally woke me up to how I am taking care of and treating my body (inside and out). I’m trying to learn all I can about nutrition and supplements (exercise and skincare too but more importantly what I’m putting IN my body). So, I am very excited to see how you do it AND on the road 🤗 and hopefully I can get out of this bed and join you lovely ladies on some adventures 🤞🫶🏼

And THAT is what is all about, right?! It's Lulu's way!! I was thinking that maybe you could create something to rest on your cooler lid as it lays open to act as a table. It could be a nice place to eat during inclement weather. Again, big thumbs up, Lulu!! Happy and safe travels. ❤️

    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!

I'm so excited I just bought a Dodge Grand Caravan and I'm downsizing from a Chevy Express. People think I'm crazy but I think I'm going to be much happier in the smaller van again.

    You're not neurotic, I take just as many supplements. When we age your body needs a boost of vitamins and spplements for aches and pains and other things. I love what you have done with this van. The cooler on it's side was a great idea and so practicle. Do You think your stuff in the bag on the roof will be okay from theft? I saw Butterfly Tracks took your idea for the ice packs and made herself the system in her van. Looking forward to your cooking demos. I love watching "Forest Forest" cook in his van.

    hi Adele!! I don't worry about potential of theft from my roof storage. nothing of much value is up there. but someone could take it in less than a minute but just unbuckling the straps. if someone takes it, they can have it, they probably need it more than me!! haha. yes, Jan from Butterfly Tracks did go for the icepack freezing system, I hope it works for her!! my cooking may not be all that exciting, I don't make recipes, I just cook items and then assemble them together into wonderful meals. that's what I do and I will eventually do some videos on that. thanks for your nice message to me!!

You make me feel that I could do this also! I don't however, have a car or van. I have an elderly dog who whose lifestyle I want to keep stable and predictable. After she passes, I'd like to $hare vanlife so I can save for my own van; one like yours, a Toyota something or a Honda something. I love your easy attitude, stalwart determination, and sense of humor! Oh, and I love coffee too! I never enjoyed coffee until I moved to Louisiana. One cup a day is my maximum also. Have fun, dear lady. If you ever want to visit LA, do not come in July or August. It is sub-tropical weather and it is miserably hot and humid. I am a subscriber now. Look forward to your videos!

    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. Happy trails and safe travels to you on the road ahead.
