- Terry Lou has built the very best van build I've ever seen! I know that sounds like clickbait, but I dare you to check out her van and tell me it is not an astoundingly excellent van conversion for van
life! The craftsmanship is mind-blowing and the intelligence of the design is breathtaking. I know this sounds like too much hyperbole--but it isn't, it deserves it all! Check it out!

I was a custom cabinet maker for 40 years. This van is a work of art.
All I can say is, "WOW!!!"
The time she & her dad were able to spend together is as wonderful & important as the build!
Agreed
Your father must be a cabent maker. And he taught you well. The workmanship shows. The van is the best I have seen so far.
It’s really wonderful that she got to make this with her dad. Very sweet.
eee

"My Dad has a wood shop and showed me how to use the tools." looking at this van, I would say She's a Very Quick learner. Awesome job. She's got good reason to be proud.
I'd have to say she's not a novice at woodwork nor using tools!
I took have been creative with wood a lot. I first built a dog house, then a playhouse and then remodeled my bathroom...then the van. Cabinets are much harder.
She definitely is not a novice the detail in this wood and the layout of everything is awesome but her doing it just after dad show her and her finishing something this nice hummmm idk....
@@Alexgomez411 I think she is a very smart precise and intelligent woman... She sold her busy ness years ago and is basically living of the investment of the sale.. smarter than you or me.. I am not a fast learner and I am scare of power tools
I feel Dads deserve more credit than they often receive in many of these van conversion exposes! It's not that difficult to discern diy from pro builds, if you've been in the game for awhile😉
Everyone does a build a bit differently, this is definitely one of the better ones. If we could all be so lucky to have a someone with a wood shop! :)
I was very fortunate and in the last 4.5 years I must say the best has move up a few notches.
A daddy build, her dad build it lol As known as a daddy build giggle.
I spent 24 years in construction and I don't think I could've done that nice of work! Amazing job!
Chad S - What a nice compliment!
Chad S but.... there’s construction and then there’s being a fine finisher..
thanks Chad
Yup people don't get it there's carpenters then there's finish guys and gals that do the detail work extremely well.
I met her at the Tiny House Fest in Eugene, Oregon in September 2018. I thought that van was very well done.
Thanks Dana
I like this lady. She's so pretty and sweet. And she's so talented. Best van home I have ever seen. It's hard for me to believe what people can do with a van. If you had mentioned doing this a few years ago, people would have looked at you like you were crazy. I just love this van, so much 👍💕💕.
Laure Murkuns thanks much!
Welll the ideas actually can go back a ways. I had a nicely done 1969 Westfalia and an unbelievable interior in a 1957 Forester.
I’m a carpenter for 20 years and I’m very impressed with the work you and your dad did to this van..Very Inspirons well, thanks for sharing!
thanks, for appreciating it
@@TeriLou l
That is a real work of art! It’s amazing enough on its own, but that she picked up how to do all of that woodwork so quickly *and* then executed it so flawlessly and professionally is truly astounding.
I do love sawdust
What an awesome build - thanks for sharing your home with us!
I love clean van builds and this is a perfect example! 🤠🥭🐋🦜
Actually thought the same... nice looking face! Hello from NJ Juliana
@Quotius X That profile picture is actually a photo of Fernando Alonso who is a Spanish Racecar driver and yes, he is absolutely beautiful to look at 😊
@@amyfmc1 😂
Amy Fender my first thought: what makes anybody think that is the real him? Thanks for telling who it actually is. 😄
Amy Fender Oh no I’ve been exposed 😅😂
Wow! I didn’t think anyone could be as organized and visually appealing and also good sizes and just really well made. This home could be a retirement home for a single person. Thank you for showing us your beautiful traveling home.
This is such an amazing, practical van build, TeriLou! I repect that your heart is in photography but wow! Just think, you could teach an online class in how to build/organize a van, and charge for your time. Kudos for following your dream, making your mock-up, and to your dad for showing you how to build it. You did great! Thanks Bob, as ever, for finding these talented, inspiring people!
I love what I am able to do. I love that I am still traveling, although not full time in the van. It brings me much joy.
That hanging clothes closet is genius! Steal for a regular house armoires and closets to hang a double rod!
thanks. So glad my dad talked me into doing it/ Love the handing closets.
This one of my top five favorite van builds. It's nice when you have a wood shop available with someone knowledgeable and willing to share their craftsmanship. Beautiful.
Anyone can copy these ideas. Lumber stores cut wood and you can rent or borrow tools. Take woodworking classes. Ask at high school woodshop. If there's a will there's a way.
I really love these self built RV's over the commercial ones that cost a kings ransom. The owners get what they want rather than paying for things they'll never use.
I wouldn't be sure the cost differential is great.
@@ampa4989 does one sleep with a broad sword?
@@alanj7306 a fairly large notch above. Those that have to may feel homeless, those that want to live in a van are anything but homeless.
@@michaelconchscooter8940 ...true, as some say, they have simply jumped off the rat race of never-ending rent or mortgage payments, and are houseless/landless NOT homeless. For some of us that equates to F-R-E-E-D-O-M!
@@alanj7306 if the van is their home, then they're not homeless.
I'd take a van home over rent any day.
Now, do I want my own land? 1,000%
Do I eventually want to build a cozy cottage on that land? Absolutely.
Doesn't detract from the value of a van home in any way.
This woman is my kind of chick. I am an artist and plan to start my Van life journey next spring. I have scoured the internet and RUclips looking for storage ideas for all my many artistic hobbies and have found nothing….until now. Thank you so much for this van tour. Now I have some ideas.
It's doubtful that this kind of woman would be interested in anyone who still refers to women as chick. Just speaking from experience here.
Wow!!!! I just love what you've done with the place. You go, girl!!!
Thanks much! Still love it today!
That woman is a genius!! Thank you for sharing this, to you and her.
A beautiful build..nice lady too.. Kudos to Dad..he taught his girl good
It's just so homey. I mean it looks like a home. I'd want a toilet & shower & maybe table, but then again -- we all adapt to our space & needs. To get this far would be incredible. The colors of your woodwork are gorgeous. What a cutting board! & pantry! And those drawers in back are just perfect. Wow!
Thank you for sharing (if you're still reading this). Good call, Bob!
Fantastic job on the van conversion. I recently retired and was inspired by this young lady.👍
That is the most beautiful van I have ever seen. Great organization as well. She could give classes on van building or have a business reorganizing other's RVs and Van's.
Joan's RV Adventures contact me if you are interested.
Artistic Adventurer Van subscribed! Would love to know how you did your drawers so flawlessly
Yes. Having minimal belongings isn't a problem when everything you do have is beautiful.
@@artisticadventurervan7472 How? Do you have an email?
Nicole Savaiano I used a great table saw and lots of clamps. 😀
I met Teri at the RTR!!! Awesome lady! Beautiful build.
Thank you for including and featuring so many rad women and their work in your videos. It is really cool to see.
OMG, I've lived in Pullman for 3 years, and am a former professional photographer and aspiring tiny house liver. How did I not know about this woman before now? So glad RUclips recommended this video to me!
Heather Morgan just enjoyed leading a tour in the Palouse this last week. Such a beautiful part of the world.
That rolling pantry is genius. I'll use that idea in my new home. Also, her van is so clean and organized.
Stunning creation. Being organized is blessing. Travel well. Very envious. 💐
I love so much about Teri Lou's van build! A place for bicycles AND ROCKS! So much cleverness in this design. The cabinetry is awesome, as is the pocket door to the cab. Space for crafts! I wish she could build me one!
She's quite talented, gifted. Beautiful work, so homey and classy. Kudos to her, so many people waste time and money. God bless ya!
I been working on exotic hard woods and plywood for over 50 years ..and belive me this lady has accomplished a one of a kind work..congratulations just beautiful I absolutely love it
Nice cabinets, your father and you did a great job.
Beautiful story and creative outlay of her van.
I love how she refers to everything as a "Piece". True creative!
Stunning van, my goodness! Lovely human being as well. Thank you Bob.
This van is gorgeous, and I am in awe of her organizational skills and ability to build this van.
This is beautiful. Awesome genius design. She is such an artist as well. I want to hire her and her Dad.
I would be proud to own/sleep in that van. You do not look homeless in a van, it's gorgeous!!
People traveling earning and meeting people. Each story still yields a smile from its author. Life is great!
A Woman after my own heart...the woods, the finish, the organization..wow!
Excellent van build👍
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.
I love the pin boards in this van. I love the personality of the van.
Some very good design ideas. I really like the pocket doors and storage above.
Iinda nerney, you're right! That's the first time I've seen pocket doors built for a curved frame. Would have liked a closeup!
OH MY. That is the most AWSOME van ever . Her dad must be very proud of her. 👍 GREAT job ! 👍
I love people who like to keep things organised!
I watch quite a few videos. This is one of the best builds. Well thought out, organized and clean. You can get comfortable in this van and have a sense of accomplishment. Well Done
Love the cabinetry and her build overall!! A bathroom would be a mist for me, but it seems to work for her!!
I think she has the perfect little home.
The best I have ever seen. Smart young lady. 😄😄😄
Very impressive! She’s a talented woman!
Absolutely beautiful build. Love the wood combo and the set up is amazing....God bless n 🐝safe on your journey🌺
@Jessi Louis lol I wish I had her eye to detail and color.....
Wow. Amazing, Teri Lou. I can't do without a toilet but other than that, I think you did an amazing job. Think of the money you could make if you made one of those per year and sold it. Maybe that doesn't appeal to you but man, you're talented.
Bea, Honey dog and me I agree!! A set of plans would be good. My van life is still in my future, but I’d buy the plans right now!
Gorgeous build. Her carpentry skills on amazing...
wow. such a nice build. She did an amazing job, and she's very blessed to have a helpful and skilled dad that helped her.
Watching this, I thought the same. She should go into teaching van builds! Great job, I love the organized no cutter ideas she had.
Really love your beautiful little home on wheels. A placefor everything and everything in it's place. Congratulations, you did a wonderful job.
Thanks
Wow!! Best build ever!!
I am in awe of this woman. So strong... so talented
Stunning wood work..so beautiful !!! I was glad to hear there at the end she had insulated good as that wasn't mentioned in her build description. She is blessed to have a father with such talent and access to tools and wood and willing to share. Thank you for inviting us into your home and I wish you much success as a photographer.
I don't comment a lot but she was a real joy to watch Bob!... Thanks for sharing! -PJ
My husband and I met Terilou at a tiny house convention in San Jose, CA. TL gave us a ‘tour’ of her beautiful van and it’s even more stunning in person. At the time she had a gorgeous quilt she made at the head of her bed - she is a true artist and free spirit. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! I follow TL on IG-her photos especially from Burning Man, are incredible. Thanks for featuring Teri Lou and her amazing van build!
I am in AWE of this build!!! So much so, that I can't put into words how much I like this!!
Bob, thank you! You are right, this is a gorgeous van build. So well done, Teri Lou. I always want a bathroom of some sort. But for looks and organization this is fabulous. 👍🏻❤️
That is one beautiful build, she should be very proud. Very good personality also. Good luck in your adventures. ❤👍
Yes, it's all lovely. All it takes is time, materials, tools, a place to do the fine work, and a pile of $. and as she said... she sold a computer IT company, so I imagine that she did computer CAD layout as well as poster board scale mockup. High end accomodations. A Yeti electric cooler, not cheap, super deluxe van, not cheap, and a custom cutting board from beautiful exotic woods her dad makes. I'll bet your eyes would spin if you had to pay for one like it. Lovely, I like. She loves photography, the van was an end to a means. She wants to record scenery, not just build vans. More power, girl. ♡☆♡☆♡
HarryKari Touche so true in what you say. I never have used a CAD system. Wanted to be an architect once, chose photography instead.
I like to sew and do crafts, so I never thought I could live this way. But you showed how it can be done. Room for a sewing machine and some craft items is what sells me on this.
So inspired! And jealous too! Great van Teri! Thanks for the effort Bob!
Every time I hear her mention her fathers help I feel a pain in my heart and the impulse to cry. I feel deep grief as I lost my dad at a very young age☹️. I know I’m not alone in this regard, my heart goes out to others who have felt the same sorrow💝 I am grateful for the higher power that seems to love and help me especially since my husband died two years ago🙏
pray for your dad and for your husband. i know you will feel them closer somehow. be blessed and protected! and do not ever feel alone because we have such a great God Who is with us and takes care of us more then our parents will ever do!
We need more good men in our lives!
Sweet
I feel your pain , my dear father is so old and frail I worshio him "like a God" I bless your heart and the fact you have acknowledged your dear Dad . I bless you heart for sharing.
God love you. And I ain't the religious type. , I just understand what you say . From Canterbury U.K.
No you’re not alone :( mine passed when I was 17.
I Have been doing Fine wood for 40 years, This is Master Craftsman... Women Quality, So very well done! Purple Heart so Cool.Great job to all!
Jim Bremer thanks so much.
The van build is a work of art! Beautiful!
Beautiful, organised, compact, wonderful work.
Every girl should have a dad like hers.
This is a stellar build...well done indeed !
"Beauty with Practically" Love everything about this. 🚐🖤
Love the hideaway mirror and "door" to the front of the van!
Well you and your dad are beautiful souls! Its shows in your build. God bless you both!
@buggeroff Attention seeking much?
buggeroff,
Maybe to you and a few, but the majority still enjoy and respect the sentiment.
If you’re offended, just move on. Otherwise, it just makes you look petty, unless that’s the look you’re going for. I mean, seriously, you’re avatar name? Yeah, okay, kind of hypocritical don’t you think? Your avatar could be seen as offensive to others right? Yeah, it’s what you’re going for, but Heaven forbid if anyone steps over the line you’ve created. I’m sorry, but I find it to be quite funny. Dang snowflakes abound.
Good luck with your hypocrisy.
@buggeroff God bless you too, buggeroff.
@buggeroff Oh, God bless you too. Don't want to leave you out. Might hurt your feelings.
@buggeroff God Bless You as well 🙏🙏🙏
You & your dad have done an amazing job on the van conversion. It's absolutely beautiful!!
I could live in that van! Beautiful!
I agree with you Bob :) What I love about this van build is the craftsmanship- Teri Lou is a true artist! And she finds places in a very tiny space for the things she loves- rocks, lapel pins, and crafts! You can bring anything with you that you truly care about if you are willing to give up space for it :)
I still am having fun with changing things up a bit. Always a work in progress.
Gorgeous. Imagine living IN a work of art. It’s incredible . Wishing her the very best life has to offer and thanking YOU for doing this video with her. You’re both generous spirits. 😇
A most beautiful build. When she mentioned her rock garden it reminded me of Lucy Ball and the Long, Long Trailer.
Love the fact that you incorporated your rockhounding passion; shown in the lovely, minimalist display....just for the extra special ones! Shows the personal nuances that make a van a home sweet home! 5-star accomodations-
Mari Larsen Thanks much
What an incredible build...immaculate and well organized.
Teri Lou certainly is inspiring. I am so impressed with her Dads influence.
Hi Teri Lou. You're now a celebrity. Yay! Anyhoo...thanks for storing my frozen veggies and pesto when we met at RTR 2018. Awesome build. Have fun!
Malcolm Nicoll hope you are doing well.
If the van owner ever reads this post, WOW, that is some top notch carpentry work
And design. Glad you are living what I hope is your dream. Very inspiring.
Wow, you're right, Bob - it's beautiful! She's fortunate her dad has his shop.
I bet her dad is super proud of the work she created its beautiful
I have been car camping for 5 years and I love it!!! Its so free and fun! Appreciate your story fellow nomad sister
You are truly amazing. I had a 1972 dodge high top vand that had a sink, stove propane heater etc from the factory and traveled a lot in it. Just bought a 1982 Fleetwood Prowler 28 ft. I am revamping and at 58 yrs old hope to hit the highwaysxand move once a month or so. You gave me some wonderful ideas thank you so much.
Great build. I swear I have heard and seen this person & van tour last year. Nice to see it again.
Forrest Gump :: ah, that’s where I saw it! Thank you!! Great memory!! ☮️💟☀️
What a skilled lady .....fantastic workmanship . It's my favourite by far 😊
"I sleep in my car by choice". Like you I always felt protective of the information I sleep in my car when I travel. 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.
Magnificent! As a woodworker, I'm in love with the work that you did with the van!
It's one of the most beautiful self built vans I've seen. So well organized and practical at the same time.
Totally agree...but would of love to see her have a wetbath.....this would of been from the best van to the immaculate van....
She has missed her calling, she should build out vans for a living!
I was thinking same thing
Very good planning
Very talented.
I think she found her calling ..
Sell the IT company and go have fun
@@frenchfryfarmer436 That I'll agree with too. Still traveling however not full time.
Gotta be one the best builds, ever seen ! 🇺🇸😁
Beautiful woodwork. Coming from a family of very talented wood-workers, I recognize a great job! Love the pocket doors. Fantastic use of space too.
All living is the art we choose to manifest. Bob is a great demonstration of his compassionate soul.
