The peel and stick wall paper I put in my RV toilet area came off. It just didn’t come off the heat melted, curled,and shrank it. I have painted two RV’s clean and scrub first, prime, and paint. I did wait before putting the peel and stick up after painting according to the instructions on the paper.

[@roadtriplover.]

I’ve tried peel n stick options so many times and I just cannot get it to stay attached. It’s so frustrating. I wish people would share HOW they get it to stick.

[@TrishBenedict]

Me, too. Ditto Command hooks and the like. They stick on for a few days, and then the next time I see them, they're on the floor - face down, of course - and nearly impossible to get unstuck from the floor!

[@roadtriplover.]

@@TrishBenedict Yes! No prob sticking to floor or anothing other than the wall.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Prep is key! Making sure to clean the area

[@roadtriplover.]

@@GratefulGlamper Yup. Done. The peel n stick stays up for 3days max, then separates from the wall. Sticks to everything else, but not the walls. 🫤🤔

I have a peel & stick backsplash that has been up for three years in deep South heat and humidity and extreme cold. P&S wallpaper, on the other hand, NO luck!

Thanks for more great ideas, Ben and Charity! You guys are the best. ❤❤

[@GratefulGlamper]

You're the best!

[@jannaprofile9525]

You are very easy to listen to. I look forward to more

Older RVs Trailers used to all come with roller vinyl shades. Blackout, temperature control etc. Whats old is new again LOL. The lightweight accordion pull shades are also great. The magnet lights are really useful. Note - vinyl plank flooring is HEAVY and gets water under it if things spill. Good idea using linoleum, theres a reason older RVs and house kitchens had lino - it works, its light, its tough as nails. Stay gold.

Does your RV have a sliding door? We're looking at replacing the vertical blinds (with the ugly factory box) and I wanted to do a ceiling mount curtain track but I can't seem to find any where that shows someone doing it successfully

[@Youngathearttravelers]

Oooh these are some great options and ideas for updates. I want to make many updates to ours!! Where to start in the next decision! 😂

[@GratefulGlamper]

Totally!

[@tammymoore-kloss9680]

You guys are great ! Thanks for sharing .. safe travels ❤

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for watching!

[@dereksellars]

Great ideas!! Thanks for sharing :) See you on the Road----------------Sometime LOL

[@GratefulGlamper]

You bet!

[@pamelatyer1030]

Did you redo your casement of your slide outs ? If you did could you explain how you did it

[@GratefulGlamper]

Yeah we did replace the slide trim with pine boards

[@pamelatyer1030]

Was it fairly easy ? Or hard

[@GratefulGlamper]

fairly easy!

[@SarahPelletier]

I've been enjoying your videos for years now. I have always been curious about what you do about seat belts. I know most states require seat belts. Do you just hope you don't get pulled over?

[@tammiecoffman5884]

In our motorhome, we replaced our couch and chair. I ordered new belts on Amazon and my husband installed them.

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

The dinette will have seatbelts, so they could sit there.

[@monicakostak9841]

Hi -I wanted to ask if your shower was cream/yellowed due to age and if you had painted it or left it alone and its current condition?? We are finishing up a 25 yr old Fleetwood Discovery and reading up on what to do with the darkened shower or leave alone. Wanted to get your input. Thank you!

[@GratefulGlamper]

We didn't do anything to the shower - thankfully it's not yellowed over time.

[@monicakostak9841]

@@GratefulGlamper thanks for the info Always like to get input from others 😊

[@MICHAELMEREDITHSR]

Oh Charity! You're a *True* rarity. You make me laugh. You teach me well. Finding you Chickadoo, was certainly swell. 🙏🦉 🌅⛵ 🏞️🏍️

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thank you!

[@NormanMorris-n4r]

just wondering what the effects of all these changes have had on your gross and tare and combined weights? have you ever driven over a set of scales to check? In Australia. it is believed that around 80% of vehicles are overloaded. I'm wondering what the figures are for America. it is very easy to underestimate what things weigh, especially when long term travelling.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Yes, we weigh our rig at a cat scale about 2x per year

[@leozeek]

Great video! Thanks.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Glad you liked it!

Where did you find cheap window film? I found it to be expensive.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Amazon for $10 amzn.to/3YxO7Gx

[@pemnet62]

Love your videos. Would you please provide the SKU number of the shades you got at Home Depot. 2004 Brave 32V here and yes, I hate the window treatments too! Pain. In. The. Butt! LOL

[@shawnbeerens4292]

Better be careful if your kiddos get any bigger they will need you to pull a camper behind the motorhome lol!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Right!?!

[@jamielynn2864]

Were your closet doors mirrored? We just bought a 5th wheel with mirrored closet doors and we hate them!

[@cynthiacrawford6147]

Put chalk paint over the mirrors

[@Lovenaturetomuch]

Beautiful! My dream is to renovation my RV, it's old and everything inside it is broken. I'm 66 years old and I hardly work, so I don't have the money to fix it up.

[@LaJessChelle]

I wish I could just paint over the wall paper in our RV. It’s peeling in many places… so I’m not really sure of what to do….

[@GratefulGlamper]

If the wall paper is peeling, there could be water damage

[@LaJessChelle]

@@GratefulGlamper it doesn’t look like there’s water damage, but I’m definitely going to make sure. I do NOT want mold. ☹️

[@ShyMyers]

​@@LaJessChelle from personal experience you could of had water damage in the past that has since been fixed, still the wall paper will crack. I'm not a perfessional but I peeled as much Wall paper as I could and tried to sand the areas flush as best as possible. I then added the pink wall grout stuff, I would recommend finding something that is flexible as am noticing cracks but only in spots I used entirely to much. Paint on top makes it all look like one

[@AmyLockard-b1p]

How do you feel about buying an RV/camper that needs work?

[@GratefulGlamper]

It depends on the extent of the work - the biggest thing it to make sure it doesn’t have extensive water damage or frame damage

[@judyross182]

What you have done has taken 15 years off your RV's life. It does not look 20 years old. One of these days ask the kids to tell us about how they like their new beds and storage areas. Also, hindsight about how you might have changed the design if you were to do it again would be interesting. I have some attractive textured light wallpaper on the wall of my RV, but at least for now, I wouldn't paint it because it never occurred to me. But it's good to know I could. My ceilings are 7' high in the slides and 9' in the main part. Do you have any storage areas that are so high you cannot even reach them?

[@GratefulGlamper]

The ceilings are not very high in our motorhome so thankfully we don’t have any areas that are unreachable.

[@malefecent]

The whole idea of “DIY” is it’s not professional 🤔💜 Anyway your RV looks great, as a person that doesn’t have an RV, I’m still shocked about the whole RV age discrimination thing.
