It was so lovely to be there. Thank you, Jan, for all you do for us. Because, as I’m sure you know, what you do for yourself, you also do for us. And, Debby Jean, your van is so neat and organized, and pretty, a skill I may never achieve, but certainly appreciate.

Thank you for posting this for the community! May God bless and Mary keep you Debbie Jean. You have found sisters who appreciate you. ❤. Jan, you give so much to so many.
I love the little magnets from Harbor Fraight, they are so handy. I wrap them in colored duct tape so they won't scratch your, car, it makes them easy to pull apart and they are easy to see if they fall on the ground
I'm so glad to find so many people who tear up at Mother Nature's beauty. I'm going right over and subscribe to your channel too! great tour Jan. Loving all your videos. xoxo
Debbie Jean a genuine, easy going & barrel of fun! I'm pretty seasoned at this solo roadie tripping scene.. & my very first meet up was attending her River Forest gathering in Deland. What an Amazing bunch of unique & lovely Butterflies. Janet you are one of a kind & an Amazing interviewer.. a very gracious heart indeed. Thank you both for this Vantastic post! ☮️🚐✨
Another fantastic video! Way to goooooooooooooo ladies! So inspiring to us who are just getting started! Thank you so much for your time and effort here! Please keep up the great work!

OMG! I am so laughing about the magnets. Trust me I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing with you. I bought a back up camera for my rig. It attached on the back with a magnet. The first time I put it on I didn’t get my finger out of the way in time. I went ahead and yanked it out. Holy crap. I left part of my finger underneath the magnet. I call it another learning moment in my life 😂😂
I've been looking for a mini chandelier!! I love your mattress. It's so hard to find medium thickness mattresses. They're either super thick or thin little toppers. And it's so true about the meetups. There can never be too many!
I loved this interview. I love her bed build. I’d really like to redo my bed but just haven’t figured it out. I always look forward to a new meetup so I can learn new things and get ideas for my van. I know it’s a never ending process to get the build the way I want it but I am so looking forward to the journey. Thanks again Jan. ❤
Oh my between you and Debbie Jeans vans, my ban looks like a rolling Dumpster 😂; ty for the ideas snd links and can someone teach me minimalism! As always lived this style of video and love you ladies! Truly Inspiring 🥰
Discovery of oneself is one of life's great experiences ! True you can travel far and wide or nearby, but overcoming doubts, fears and building self confidence is something that comes from exploring the possibilities - just doing it ! Thank you for sharing.
I'm always interested in the bed, bc I am just starting and tweaking my cot . I need more support in middle and maybe pegboard is something I can DIY. TY for showing your bed parts. ❤ Happy camping 🏕 🎉😊
Great interview. Love me some Debbie Jean! Such a calming nature with a great giggle! Probably won’t make it to Friendsgiving but 🤷🏼♀️ Jan, another great tour and interview. 💚🦋
Very nice setup and very functional…great job Debbie Jean! Jan your interviews are always so moving and eloquent….great job! I understand the tears! When I first got to Asheville, NC back on April 1, I turned in the driveway and I let out an audible gasp and started crying. I was suddenly SO emotional…it was amazing!! I look forward to seeing both of you at the next meetup 🦋 ❤ 🦋
Loved this one!! I’ve backed it up several times such great ideas and tips. Thanks Jan for explaining the difference in the batteries- I didn’t understand until now. Love Debbie Jean and love her new channel . She is the real deal the first one to help me at my very first meetup in Florida last February. (You helped me find a good level place to park) ❤
I've been looking for a RV van for a long time now. I don't want new but even the used ones that I have found are too expensive. I've camped in a trailer for years but I think I would enjoy a camper van better now. I have really missed camping! Thanks for your videos!
Thank you Debbie Jean for your video. I've been to a few of Lulu's Meetups. I love it, but I was thrown into this lifestyle. I love this. I'm full time. I'm in Waynesville and Maggie Valley NC right now. I'll be in Florida in early November.

Wondering if she has a solar charge controller. That is also what you need if you use a regular lithium battery. It controls the amount of charge going into the battery so it doesn’t overcharge it. Nice setup with the tote.
It's nice to have the dual fuel stove for several reasons. I wound up needing more butane one weekend and went to a number of stores but was unable to buy any. And i found out that if the temperature dips below 40°F butane does not vaporize well, so it does not burn well. I finally got the dual fuel GasOne stove. I prefer butane, but I like being able to use propane.
Pretty new to the channel Jan. Thank you Debbie Jean for sharing your build. Going over to join your channel as well. Hope to meet you ladies at some point in my journey. Hopefully I'll be able to attend one of your meet ups, but I'm in a small 4 window (each side) mini bus. Even though it's titled as a high top van it may not be the type of van that you would allow at your meet ups. Please let me know? I've had a few set backs to getting out on the road but I'm hoping to visit 1 of 4 places come January. Florida, Texas, Arizona or California . Haven't made my mind up yet just know I'm ready to venture out from my hometown. Looking forward to watching more videos with more great ideas. Sending Blessings and Love to you both for your continued adventures.
I don’t see a problem. Sounds like Kathy's shuttle and she goes to lots of our meeups. This is hers: ruclips.net/video/dqH47htaOOs/видео.htmlsi=bs0Nor0B-RbT5hLl
Thanks Jan for a great tour of Debbie Jean's nice van and what a great story she has too. I kept stopping the video to right down those wonderful ideas of her van life. I am going to order that gel and try it in my house to get used to it for MY Cargo Camper days, hopefully soon. Since I live in Central Oklahoma, I don't know of any women camp outs. Do you have any links to one? See you on your next visit.

OMG! I'm chuckling at the suggestion of using vodka instead of isopropol alcohol. I think that is actually a really good idea. I can just imagine someone squirting some in their mouth and how many campers' eyes pop open. LOL!

I'm getting ready for takeoff with vanlife. I need to get a certain amount of gear before I can get out. I just got a 100ah lithium battery and plan on getting another one or two but have to buy them over time. First one arrived the other day, it runs my cpap machine great, uses about 20% of 100ah in 10 hours. The only other thing I'll use that battery for is charging my laptop. My other battery will be just to run my fridge.
my husband is too protective over me that there is no way I could go by myself out of town or even out of state. we do go camping and vacations and we love that.
