Everyone needs a friend like you Lulu - humorous, helpful and handy. Lorraine's van is lovely and extremely well set up. 🦋
hi Barb! thanks so much for the sweet note, I appreciate it!! Lulu 💕
No Doubt. Few far and between anymore. Well all my close are gone as my Family. This is so sweet. ❤ God Bless You this is what we're suppose to do. ❤🙏💙💜🙌🦋😇
She reminded me of "travel snacks" father helping her with her van build too and appeared to be loving the build despite eduring injuries (cut tip of a finger/ nail in hand) 😂
Always fun to watch independent, confident women getting things done and celebrating each other. Good for you both!
Every girl must have a Lulu in their lives...good friends better than pocket money anyday ❤❤❤❤😊
Lulu, you are an encouragement to us boomers to go and do! Thank you for showing up regularly and giving us a little bit of yourself!
hello Jaye!! thanks so much for such a lovely note!! I appreciate it! Lulu 🌺
You two had me laughing. I had a great time watching this video. The van setup is so nice and the placement of her bed with the headboard is great too. You two are a lot of fun. Lulu you are such a nice friend to assist with the buildout. Blessings to both of you.
hi Roset!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!! and thanks for your lovely note!! Lulu 💜
Everything looks great. You did a good job, Lulu! 😊
thanks Jenn!! 🌺
Lulu you blessed her life! Thank you for your service!
What a Blessing to have friends that help. Build looks awesome. Thank you for showing the finished interior van project and invitation into your home. Bless you..
You are quite the builder, LuLu. So satisfying to tackle a task and do it yourself. 😊
hey LouLou!! thanks so much for writing!! yes, it's very satisfying to take on these tasks and help solve her issues. I LOVE IT!!
Love your talent & positive energy. The van looks great and so functional! I think she should name her van “Lace” or “Lacey”!! I don’t have a van yet but it’s a goal of mine. 💕💕
LuLu, you are such a talented person. The changes that you made in Lorraine's van are so well done. I can't build anything. Even putting furniture together is a huge irritating nightmare for me. Lorraine's van is very well laid out. I love her bed. What a fun van tour that was and I love your pink/purple dress.
thanks so much!! we are happy with the way everything came out!! thanks so much for writing!! Lulu ❤️
So sweet to watch friends support each other. Also very cool to see sr ladies doing it for themselves, so inspirational.
yes, I love the community I've recently discovered, it's just wonderful!! 💕
You two had such a good time. Helping someone is a good feeling isn’t it? Her van looks comfy and organized
it's a GREAT feeling!! 🙏
I am certain you ladies had a fabulous four days!! Great job on the upgrades and tweaks!! Happy and safe travels to Lorraine!! Love what you do Lulu!!🖤🖤🙏
hi Joanne!! thanks for such a nice note, I appreciate it! 💕
I finished watching your video and realized I was smiling, just naturally at such a wonderful story you told. Thank you!! ❤❤❤
awww Barb, thanks! I'm happy you are smiling!! that makes me smile!! 🌺
Looks great Lulu, it’s so fun to do stuff you are so passionate about & enjoy doing. That’s so sweet of you to help a friend, it’s good for the soul. I know Lorraine appreciates your help. Safe travels Lorraine 🙏🏻🇺🇸🏠
hi Julie!! yes, it was good for my soul and yes Lorraine was very appreciative!! it was a win/win!!! 💜
I have the 3M Very High Bonding tape that Hobotech recommended, too. I have it securing my 250W solar panel, 3 years in Phoenix, still holding tight. Highly recommended!!
that's GREAT!!
You have to be the best friend a girl could have!! Love your energy and your son must get a laugh watching you having fun!! You skip very well😂
my son loves taping my videos!! he's always laughing behind the camera! LOL
You did such a great job Lulu, Lorraine is a sweet person and she is a very lucky person to know you. Loved the skipping at the end of your video, you're so darn cute and God Bless You! 👍 😊 ❤
thanks Gloria, for such a sweet and supportive note!! I appreciate it! Lulu 😊
Lulu, the bit on the one gallon jug was so funny I had to rewatch it 5 times!! Really enjoyed the whole video, thanks!
hahaha!!! I had no idea about that jug, it was the first I'd heard of it!! I don't get it!! LOL
@@LulusWay64 Watching your reaction was what made it really hilarious!!!
Lulu, what a hoot! SO much great info.. Thanks for trying to clarify her assorted 12V power systems for us.
Wow, amazing friendships, amazing work you've done Lulú. Enjoyed seeing the whole setup and great ideas
So nice of you to help with her van tweets. You are a good friend. Have fun this week on your trip and be safe.
thanks Sally!! 🌷
How about Yancy for a name for your van.
YaYa and Yancy!
Great Renovation and very helpful renovator!
Instead of the lace, you can put wood but drill holes in the wood panel so it still has air flow. You could use peg board, or you can even drill holes in the wood along the side of the bed, too, so you have better air flow.
Hey Lorraine! Years ago, I had two Ford Thunderbirds, a 1977 with a 351 Windsor engine, and a 1978 with the same engine bored out to 400 cu. in. at the factory, a rare 'bird. The '78 also had the trailer towing package - heavy duty transmission and suspension and an oversized radiator and water pump, but the first owner assured me he'd never towed anything with it, and I believed him - he was my uncle. That car had only 3,500 miles on it when I bought it from him, and I removed the trailer hitch, put in a Kenwood powerhouse stereo system and used it for many roadtrips. Beautiful leather interior; I put in real sheepskin seatcovers, new floor mats, and a leather steering wheel wrap. That car was a creampuff, and it was like driving the living room couch. 85 mph was an easy cruise, and I made lots of L.A. to San Francisco trips, as well as a couple of trips to the East Coast and back. Such a dream, and never any engine or transmission problems. Ford did that one right, it was still running strong at 205,000 miles when I sold it after seven years. You are right about the Windsor engines! They were still using them in your van and other vehicles almost twenty years after my 'birds. Love your video, thanks for sharing! I'll be subscribing to your YT channel just to see you play hostess to Johnny Depp!
My favorite thing is the electrical and propane genset!! Super power setup that is functional whatever conditions. I am also an EcoFlow fan so was certainly paying 100% attention! Great reno!! ***Edited to add YES to Hobotech ... he is the man as far as I'm concerned for good info re many items.
The story with the ruler and the lace had me cracking up!! Great video, thanks ladies!
hahaha!!
Dang, cut it off twice and it's still to short, lol
Nice job LuLu.. her van looks great..so funny she kept bringing up Johnny Depp..I’m 73 & I adore him too & when I escape from my house I love boondocking also..ENJOY LIFE ❤
I love this! So much fun. You both did such a good Job on the van renovations. I completely understand Lorraine's love for Johnny Dep. ❤ what a way to go. Lol!! Have a fabulous day! ~Moni
hi Moni!! so happy you enjoyed the video!! thanks for writing! 🌷
@@LulusWay64 🥰
How nice and a great job you two did. Well how about Ziggy for a name for your van, it’s cute like a little ziggy😊 Lorraine you are a hoot, lots of crazy fun😊😂
You are an incredible woman! Helping her with her van was so generous, you are a very rare wonderful individual, I enjoyed watching, thank you for sharing!!
I'm so happy you enjoyed this video, thanks for letting me know!! it was a joy to give her a hand with these renovations, it was my pleasure!! 😊
You are so cute, so creative AND so competent ... & what could be better than those 3 Cs !!
Be Well & Stay Safe
oh Marty, thanks for such a lovely kind note, I appreciate it! Lulu 😊
That's so nice of you to help her Lulu, your so sweet, such a good person♥️
So fun! Thanks for all you do for others! That’s awesome! Just a ray of sunshine. 🌞
thanks Jane!! 🌺
you are such a kind person with such a good heart. Anyone would be lucky to call you friend.
wow, thank you so much for such a beautiful note!! I appreciate you writing! Lulu 🙏
I really appreciate your attention to making everything sturdy and stable, and safety concerns for avoiding injury while still including aesthetics!
thanks for your thoughtful note!! ❤️
I have the same bed setup and I use a tension rod with a curtain to cover my garage stuff. I can pull it off completely and set it on the bed and then put it back easily.
Great van layput! You did a good job on the tweeks, Lulu! I had to watch this at a higher speed because I need to get ready for my mom's birthday dinner! But... had to watch 😂
Thank you Maam. Lorraine and camera dude. Good cam work. Another great episode Lulu.
What is better than friends helping friends awesome❤
Congratulations Lorraine 👍🏽great job 👏🏽👏🏽 Lulu your such a great friend and you sure have great skills 🤩👌🏽
They are a woot. I love the joy of both of them.
Classy And Elegant,Such A Beautiful Van Lulu You Are A Fashionista For Home Van And All,You Making Me Laugh From Ear To Ear,A Beautiful Dose Of Happiness On A Sunday Evening Is Lije Ice Cream 🍦
What a wonderful van and setup. You two gave a great van tour.
thanks Deborah!!! 💕
Sounds like the girls had fun. I like the layout of the living space, where the lounging space is somewhat private and separated from the front. Nice job on the cabinet and floor, Lu Lu 🌟
hi Giselle!! I agree, I love that headboard that separates the two spaces and it creates a wall for storage!! thanks for writing!! Lulu 🌺
Great job ladies! Lorraine’s van looks great. I’m sure your 4 days together were just lovely in spite of the heat. Safe travels! ❤
Hello Lulu, awesome dress & chasing good weather is soo smart👍😻. You are a travel reference & everyone likes your cool van. I get the same callus from my crafting scissors. And it hurts. Take care and keep up the good work.🤠👍🍀
Hello Lulu and Lorraine! We are soon to become van lifers too! ;-) We are going through the blood and sweat now getting our van ready to hit the road! Wow, you guys did some nice work - love all those little ideas you came up with. Lovely little home!! 💙Terry and Terri
For the garage, I would sew Velcro onto lightweight fabric or screening and staple the other side to the garage door. That way when it gets worn out you can replace it easily.
This is so cool. What fun. You two are hilarious. The lace story reminded of a friend and me trying to hang drapes. She's about 5'7" and I'm a height challenged 5' even. This was at the end of a long day and we got them on the rod, she on one side of the rather large window, me on the other, trying to tippy toe on a stool to reach my side to hook the rod and I got the giggles, because she was teasing me, she started laughing and we finally just gave up for an hour or so. Sometimes, ya just gotta give it up. Looks like you two had a great weekend. Safe travels.
hi Lynn!! that's a funny story about the drapes!! thanks for sharing that story!! 😂
Great video! The van set up looks very nice. And Lulu has good taste in colors. Love the color of the water cabinet. So nice seeing experienced ladies enjoying this wonderful lifestyle. Safe travels ladies!
Hi Lulu, you are an inspiration. And fearless! Great job!
I bet you laughed a lot👍
never a dull moment, for sure!! thanks for writing!! 😊
@@LulusWay64 thanks for being a fun character
Great interview 🤗
Talking about heights
I'm 5foot
My boss use to say to me when helping me reach for something on the top shelf .
He'd say
"Don't worry Liz you're only short one end" 🤭
Lulu just love your haircut.
It looks really " chic " .
hahaha!! thanks Elizabeth, I appreciate your nice note!! 🌷
You are the best friend Lulu! Everything looks great😊❤️
All the Ladies you are friends with, including you, are FABULOUS!
I enjoyed spending time watching. Thank you.
Heather, Canada❤
You two ladies are such hoots. How could you not have fun? Great job on the van!
So happy to see you both! Enjoyed Marcia’s meetup with you in NH! Looking forward to next time! Safe travels my friends💞
hi Cathy!!! it was so lovely to meet you at Marcia's!!! thanks for writing!! Lulu 💕
how cool of you and waaay to go lulu! great work.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 nice van! continued blessings. 🕊
This is like one of those cliwn cars where they just keep coming and coming and coming. Really she has more than any other I've seen And love her. Thanks for the tour.
haha!!!
How cool! Love your dress, the color is fantastic!!!
thanks so much!!! 😊
Good morning, Lulu. I found your channel and subscribed. Wow! Very impressive van build. I also love her generator set up.
hi Karen!!! I'm so happy you found my channel, I hope you enjoy my content. check out the tour of my campervan (if you haven't already seen it!!): czcams.com/video/NAf2qNZFTuw/video.html thanks for writing, I'm glad you are here! Lulu 😊
What a community of supportive and loving friends.
Great job Lulu - her home is well put together. Very functional.
One could only dream of the possibilities. Love your channel.
hello!! thanks so much for a lovely note, I appreciate it!! I'm so happy you enjoy my channel so much!! Lulu 💕
Omg! What a neat build out! You truly made due with every inch of space! I would so love to do this and be able to travel the country! I’m gonna be 60 in may. If I had the finances I would start a build out tomorrow! Thank you for showing us your tiny home away from home❤
Lulu, you rock big time!!! Women united in so many ways for each other. Everyone needs beautiful people in their lives and this is an incredible renovation. Thank you!
thanks Dawn for such a lovely note, I appreciate it!! Lulu 😊
You're the best, Lulu! This van is awesome!
THANK!! 💕
Oh you girls are a blast! I plan on being on the road again later this year and I'm 74 yrs old .... Happier in a van than in anything else! Great info! Thanks much girls! I'm off to find the gallon jug!
when you find the gallon jug, also please find why you keep it in the van!! LOL 🤣🤣
Lulu your a amazing person and so smart strong woman. I am believed to have met you. 🙏 ❤ Love and Light always Karen and Miles 🐶
hi Karen!!! thanks so much for such a nice note, I appreciate it! hope to see you again down the road some day!! 🌺
This was so stinking cute to watch! I hope that is me and my bestie in a few years. I can so relate to that type of friendship. Great job ladies. Thanks for sharing!❤
Oh my gosh, that van is so cozy, I can see myself traveling in something like that full-time too😍
You, ladies, crack me up! Just love you!!
That's fits the phrase..BETTER TO GIVE THAN RECIEVE ❤ you both blessed eachother.
absatootly!!!!
The empty gallon jug is in case your vehicle over heats. The thought behind it is you can water from a river, pond or ditch to replace the water that went out with the steam from your radiator, just be sure you let the vehicle cool down first.
but why not just take the jug full of water? I still don't get the empty bottle need!! lol
You both are soooo fun! Good job on the van!
I enjoyed watching this entire episode. Her van feels like home for sure. One day I desire to live the Nomadic Lifestyle soon 🎉. Thanks, for sharing with us ladies.
hello!! I'm so happy to know you enjoyed this video!!! yes, her van is very homey and I'm so happy that all the changes are working out just perfect for her!! YAY!! thanks for writing!!! Lulu 🌷
You are a beautiful friend Lulu!!! And so talented and just simply amazing!!!
thanks Nancy!! 💕
It’s true about the empty jug, those come in handy for filling things with water, watering, etc.
Hi Lulu, that was so interesting, she fits a lot of stuff in there 😳, I was surprised, very handy. But all that electrical was way to complicated for my pea brain, maybe it’s to early in the morning for me to compute, I might watch again after breakfast to see if I can comprehend it better 😛 😂
I tried watching this video last night before bed, I literally fell asleep and woke up and you two were still talking but it was the end of the video 😂
But this was a great video, I love seeing how people put things together to live in this tiny space.
You are such a good friend and so helpful, when you learn how to measure you will be a pro 😂😂😂😂, I’m just teasing you, your a fantastic lady ❤😊
See ya Tuesday, your pal Susie
hey Susie! yeah, her electric stuff goes over my head too!! I like my simple plug n' play bluetti!! thanks for writing!! Lulu ❤️
Great job Lulu and Lorraine. I think her van should be called Dragonfly as a nod towards the time you both had together, or Depp dreamer lol.
LOL!!
Thank you for sharing! Great video 👍🤗They did a great job & it's nice she complained her space according to her needs & desires! 🙂 Looks great 👍 See you on the next video! 🙂
Thank you for sharing this video Lulu! 😊
LuLu pretty in pink you look young and very adorable.you’re meeting good people everywhere.
hi Margie! thanks for such a delightful note, I appreciate it!! yes, I'm so grateful to be meeting so many amazing women, for sure!! Lulu 🌷
Wonderful job you guys! Safe travels!
I want this Van !!! This is perfect for what I’d like to do ❤
yes, this is a great van!! a nice size, more roomy than mine. we all enjoy something different!! 💕
You Ladies are a hoot. I learned so much. Thank you.
so glad you enjoyed the video and that you learned so much, YAY!!! 😊
A nice dress makes up for the bumps, bruises, + sores. You have acquired such handy skills. Never stop learning...and sharing.
hello!! I'm grateful to have acquired these skills and I love working on vans!! YAY!!
What a lovely friendship! Go travel!! Fun!!
❤️🏆💃🏻💃🏻🏆❤️
Interesting lady! Very entertaining & enthusiastic about her work. Well done!👏🏾 ✔️ 👍🏿 🎉and ✌🏾 👏🏾 👍🏿
Wow, ladies!! Nice work!! I’m actually sitting in my new tiny camper, chilling after working in it this afternoon… and I gotta tell you, I was starting to second guess my counter/cabinet install, and-after watching this- got a new, better idea!! Also- love that small propane genny- might look into that as a back up or adjunct to my BougeRV power/solar system.. I s looking at a dual fuel but Lorraine’s looks smaller and lighter. And honestly.. When CAN’T you get propane??
But the BEST part, was learning about this 3M tape for fiberglass! I’m so tired of struggling with extreme tape, extreme Velcro… blah blah the only thing it’s extreme at is annoying me, because it DOESN’T HOLD!
So, THANK YOU!!
❤
hello!! so happy you learned about her generator and her 3M tape, both things I know nothing about!! so much knowledge to share!! YAY!!! 💕
This is very impressive! I think I might need to come to your house when I buy my van, lol. I am really really feeling privileged to have been subscribed to Bob wells for long enough to get to know All you really special ladies. I might just be watching on CZcams but y’all give me hope! You give so many lady’s and man hope. Lulu you have skills ! Your awesome! Life can be good ! Really good. Leslye
there is hope for each of us!! others demonstrated to me and I gained hope and then made it happen!!! yes, life can be VERY good!! thanks for writing Leslye!! 💕
😂what fun you two had. That was fun seeing how you tweeted thing around.
Thank you! This is insightful & inspiring. Key phrase: “trade out” - not “add to”!
I love it-Lulu's Van Conversions! So if I buy a van and drive it to your house, you'll help me build it out? Sounds like an awesome collaboration... 😍
oh no, what have I started!! 🤣
Loved this video. Thank you, ladies, for sharing your knowledge.
To the left of your water jug and under your bed you could maybe put short a corner shelf that opens to that small gap behind the new cabinet and the van door to store some shoes you wear the most.
Continued blessing and safe travels. Thanks for sharing, lots of great ideas and tips.
MY 08 roadtrek I used the tape for my solar panels. Still perfect.
We have a lot in common Lulu, Im retired, my van is my big girls toy! so I like to work on it myself, it is my enjoyment as well. I go on roadtrips from my home base and love being on the road. I want the latter years of my life to be something that I have pleasure in doing rather that having to do stuff. I love your enthusiasm for life and you tell it like it is , yes way to go Lulu!!
sounds like you've got it all figured out and are living your own dreams!! that's nice!!! thanks so much for writing!! 💕
I have just found this wonderful lady. I find her very interesting she’s full of fun and enthusiasm. Greetings from across the pond 😊
hello!! so glad you are here!!! Lulu 😊
Van building requires soo much detail because a lot has to be "CUSTOME" built to the measurements of the space❤
