The colors of your woodwork are gorgeous. What a cutting board! & pantry! And those drawers in back are just perfect. Wow!

But while sharing with someone one day she said, you sleep in your car by choice. So now I start out with that. And I have had offers as a travel to stay in peoples homes but I love the freedom to take 5 minutes packing the car and on the road. I am now ready though to move into Van Dwelling. The only thing that I feel I might miss? I love waking up at night in the car and looking at the stars through the car windows.

    Teri Lou, I love your van! You should be very proud of all that you have accomplished during the building of the van. Your father sounds like an amazing person and wonderful Dad with all the help that he gave you. Enjoy yourself out on the road Teri Lou. Stay safe and have as much fun as you can. Thanks for allowing this Channel to "feature" you! Take care...☺

    Nice, after living in rv for 10 years boon docking in Montana , the one thing I would change is refrigerator to propane -electric I only use propane for refrigerator and you would be surprised how little propane you use for the refrigerator, then you can use all the power from the batteries for other things. I have three solar panels , 4 deep cycle batteries, 1500 watt inverter, and the smallest jotul 602 wood stove in 27 ft rv and have everything I need and only use 40 gallons of propane, fill my tank[ 20 gallon tank] twice every 8 months for propane water heater and refrigerator. Love every minute of the freedom and no bills.

    This van is KILLER GOOD! Just gorgeous and so retro chic. Beautiful woods and design elements. Functional and stylish, custom and cool, yet practical and logical. With just a little touch of rock and roll. Absolutely love it. ❤️ yes a toilet would be nice, but that detracts nothing from the sheer craftsmanship and artistry of this awesome van living space.
