    I just noticed the funniest thing! In the beginning of your video when you’re standing in front of the side of your van… the door handles look like eyes and the trim looks like a straight mouth. 😂 Maybe I’m just crazy. 😂😂😂
    Would keeping your little heater in your back box help your shelving design behind the drivers seat? Or maybe in your pallet cabinet?
    And what about drilling holes with brackets like inside a cabinet so the shelves can be adjustable?

    You might consider adding a resilient mat on either side of the piano hinge instead of routing out the wood for it. The resilience would decrease the jarring on your joints especially since you will probably be using it on hard surfaces instead of a carpeted floor. We attached kitchen mats to my daughter’s tap board and it worked great.

      great thought, but inside the cabinet just above the top of the door is a wood support that runs the length of the cabinet. cutting through that would jeopardize the structure/strength.

    there's also a brand of screens that attach from the inside and they are magnetized (sewn into the screen) on your interior door frame. I have some that I ordered for my promaster, so I am sure they will fit your window as well. The company is skeeter beater. not too expensive and you can do from the inside without even exiting your van. Just an idea.

Everybody likes hanging out with you LuLu, xoxoxo! Edit.... I know you have a lot going on, wasn't demanding any videos😂 just saying, it would be great... I'm thankful for you!

    Square dowels glued to the underside (spaced 6-10 inches apart) would raise your dance floor about a half inch. This would produce better sound and provide some give so you don’t stress your joints or knees. Heavy duty Velcro can keep the two floor pieces attached on the underside or sides built up with dowels trimming the perimeters. I did this to connect 3, 5x8, sheets of birch for a portable dance floor. I also used window insulation strips on the bottom of the dowels to stabilize the floor on uneven or cement surfaces. I love your zest for living a life of joy, especially in troubling times. The Lord’s oil of gladness be with you. Psalm 30:11

      or a drop-down door or 2 drop-downs? As long as your side board has interior framing supports, it should stay solid. Then secure the doors with the adjustable barrel bolts, as well. Seems like reaching down into the cupboard from the top would get to be a real pain in the butt.

    To not see the light at night, you could make a towel rack (e.g. Voxnan Ikea) under your table, at the edge. You can then use that to towel dry, but you can hang a towel on it at night so you don't see the light. That's what I would choose.

    I like your idea of cutting an opening into the cabinet top. Two ovals would work as well. You would maintain access to both sides with some wood left across the middle of the top to prevent any possible bowing of the cabinet front or stress stacking in the top. Also, you would have smaller covers to deal with instead of one large one. Good luck with everything. I know it will turn out perfectly!

    What if you leave 2-3 inches of wood all across the back, then use a piano hinge to attach the 'lid' all the way across the top. So the back strip of wood would be all along the back, and the front 'lid' would be attached to the back of the wood with the piano hinge. (google a picture of a piano hinge if you aren't familiar with them.)

    Dear Lulu, my 2 cents on your mini black out curtain idea for the Bluetti lights "nighttime mode"...
    1st thought: you've done everything up so cute and coordinated, perhaps a simple yet beautiful multipurpose "fix" could be a colorful throw pillow to reposition from the bed to the front of the Bluetti box! The actual pillow "stuffing" could be clothes, towels or extra linens/blanket.
    2nd thought: create a coordinating colorful curtain lined with the blackout fabric for the entire box face and velcro to the inside top of the box.
    And for your tap dancing board, I suggest that you divide it so the seam runs between your feet (not lengthwise).
    Best wishes
    Kimberly

    I know you are a sewer, for your bluetti cover. 3M command has a velcro strip available. I have found that you can peel the sticky back off and actually sew it on with a machine. You can then use the other part to either stick onto your bluetti or even under your cabinet to be able to remove it during the day. I have made a shade for my RV door with black out curtain liner, it is however white and matches my door. But I know you'll find what's right for you. I curse those little lights, I swear they search out my eyeballs at night, lol

    Those "night lights" from the battery would bother me, too. Consider using some leftover reflectix and black duct tape. I would cover the reflectix with the tape so it blends in and then tape the top of it to the battery. Should work as a hinge that you can lift up and tuck up during the day. Also, have you ever used wood paint sticks for projects? They come in standard and longer sizes (for 5 gal cans). Might be good for your cabinet doors.

    Take the plastic off the bed and put in some scrap plywood and it will be fixed for good. You can drill holes in the plywood, so it doesn't mold. I grew up in Baltimore. I live an hour away and know the area. Don't sleep on the street in the city, it's too dangerous. They are having problems with car jackings. Middle River Walmart is safe to park and there is a Harvest Host Marina in Dundalk you can stay in that is safe. Sleep in Baltimore County not inside the city line. If you need any more info about the area, I'd be glad to answer any questions. I'm wishing you safe and fun summer travels, Lulu!

Here's a thought, on the cabinet, instead of cutting a piece out of the top ( I think about trying to rummage around to find the laundry stuffed in there, possibly snagged?) remove the top front wood and could you find strong netting to go across the front on top? Like netting used to tie down items in your trunk or on your rack?

    I just thought of a idea for the cupboard doors , maybe you could used a piece of black metal which is pretty much flat and just scew it into the inside of the two cupboard doors and I think the metal might make the door just as sturdy too and then you can have more room inside the cupboard instead of those thick boards ......and maybe you could those pieces of metal too on your bedframe too ?

    Instead of cutting holes into the top of the wheel well cabinet to utilize the top 6", why not keep the top intact and make the front flap down exactly like your sideways cd towers? Then you could fully see what you have inside the top section

      that would be a great option except that behind that space above the cabinet doors, there is a support beam of wood going across the whole length of the cabinet, leaving about 4 or 5" of space that is available.

    Hi Lulu, looks great! An idea for the bluetti…. In settings, you can have the display screen turn off after 30 seconds. It displays again as soon as you touch it. Then, maybe you can carefully cut some electrical tape in a circle to cover the led light on the on/off switch. It could be a simple solution for you.

      When you go to settings, tap the “next” tab on the screen until you get to the third page of setting options. You will see an option for “sleep time”. You can choose 30 seconds, 1 min, 5 min or never (which is probably what you have selected)

    Hi Lulu 👋 😊
    Have you thought about one of those mesh hanging bags for your fruits? I know how things hurt your eye so it may not be something you desire, but I thought it may be a handy way for you to have them accessible.
    Also for that irritating light on the bluetti 👀, I know what you mean about trying to sleep with that light, I have one on an extension cord in my bedroom, drives me nuts, what would you think about a small strip of black out curtain fastened to the wood over the top, just long enough to cover the light. They have pretty thumb tack looking push pins you could use those to fasten it to the wood.
    Other than I that, I’m not a real whiz at thinking of things, but you and Bob seem to be on top of it.
    Hope I was helpful
    Sending love you way
    Your pal Susie 😊❤

    Hi Lulu
    I enjoy your videos - thanks for the great content.
    I was thinking about your countertop cut out. If you were to cut that out at a 45° angle, you would not have to worry about the structural integrity of it. However, if you use a Skil saw, the blade is an eighth of an inch thick so , the cut out would sit down and eighth of an inch. The fix would be to adhere an eighth of an inch thick overlay on top of that cut out. So it will sit in the 45 and be flush with the other part of the counter.
    Or alternatively, you could cut out the counter at 45 and use a separate piece of material the same thickness as the counter and mark it from below and cut the 45 on the outside of the line and have it fit snug
    Hope this makes sense

      I thought of using that gorilla tape to install the shelves, just swap out that flimsy plastic shelf for wood, but I think it might look nicer if it was properly installed. but, then again, it would be a great way to temporarily space out the shelves to accommodate my current needs, which alway change! so thanks for the idea!! 💕
