GUTTING AND REPAIRING A VINTAGE 1970s CONCORD TRAVELER | PART 2

[@jdcunnington]

A note for those contemplating the same - never use steel screws or rivets on aluminum skin. Steel and aluminum set up an electrolytic reaction and the steel will eat the aluminum. Always use stainless, zinc-coated, or aluminum screws/bolts/rivets on aluminum sheathing. I learned this from my dad, a die-cast inspector at Johnson Motors until 1988.

[@megdalenagonzalez-mounce1776]

Love this stuff! The woman's pressure washing and his caulking techniques were driving my OCD painter self crazy!!! LOL

[@Turbo_Todd]

Very cool project. Look forward to seeing part 3 and more!

[@dianacotto2545]

I don’t know why I enjoyed watching all the power washing, but I did. Thank you 🤗

[@hadeev]

That power washer gave me life. I can't believe how clean it got that 40-something year old camper.

[@reissouthworth3978]

You two have a great work ethic. Way to go bringing new life to a sweet old trailer. It’s really in good shape for 50.

[@teresasady7106]

The trailer is starting to look great. Can't wait for th next one . I know I'm behind times, but I just started watching all these.

[@teresastuart5881]

It looks so much better ,y'all are hard workers .

[@whenmountainsmove]

I sat here drooling how satisfying it was to see the pressure washer do its thing haha. It looked 100 times better just from that wash!

[@kennethmaskell8522]

So funny all of the suggestions on how these folks should do things.. I deal with the same thing where I work cleaning apartment buildings. Funny thing is most of the people suggesting how I should do my job are unemployed.

[@youngmo77]

Facts 😂😂😂

[@RRCRDA777-55]

[@Viktory2k1]

Uh, you hiring? LOL

[@jamestopeka2236]

I've found when removing stains and mildew on campers to spray bleach mixed with water first before pressure washing about 30 minutes soaking helps so much with the cleaning .

[@nathalou3632]

wowww quel beau travail! vous etes beaux!!! je m'apprete a retaper mon vieux vr 1985. les paiements sont terminés alors go les rénos.... vous etes formidables je vais aller voir toutes vos post! merci!

[@tamaraliscia3408]

Just watched Part 1 and now Part 2, a year late. 😄 Of course there isn't any audio ((I appreciate that) but, body language speaks loudly and I don't see any negative body language. You two are a great team with a lot of good skills. I'm not going to offer advice because it would be a year late, I'm not there and I'm not doing any of the work. That little trailer is going to be a gem, and of course, by now is.

[@Tutu-fl4jn]

We watched from Brazil, from the city of São Paulo, good luck around the trailer!

[@sixrod3055]

Love these videos. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@tightmike4945]

Thanks for parts one, and two! I'm good with everything you've done, up until 26m into part two, the patches need a "weep hole", caulking the bottom, creates a dam, the dam, hold's water in. Any water that penetrates the top caulking, needs a means of escape. Just trying to help, keep up the good work!

[@Suns41]

Great video and looking forward to more! I have a 1969 Apache Cimarron 21’ and it’s not a pop up. They made them for a few years. Pretty rare and hard to find info on the internet but they are around. I’ve had it for years and now it’s time to get to the repairs it needs. This is very helpful.

[@lannyrobbins1953]

Want to see more of the camper being fixed enjoyed it

[@brucewayne9483]

You two do the worst repair work never have seen.

[@steveward1447]

@@brucewayne9483 You do the worst word assembly I've ever seen.

[@caroldimech1696]

Such hard working young couple. It will be a nice home when finished.

[@janblackkat7607]

Did you guys ever finish the trailer couldnt find a part 3?

[@LOCDLIFE]

I love the fact you guys are restoring the travel trailer! You guys are doing a GR8T job! 👍😃

[@sveng3192]

We call it a caravan in my country

[@AndreMarek64]

You folks are doing great! Don't forget to seal around the panels that were riveted in place!

[@AndreMarek64]

And I commented a minute before that was done. Ha!

[@HarmonyExpressSkoolie]

Looking GREAT. Can't wait to watch the next chapter. This is a real labor of love (Like our Skoolie Build!)

[@patstrailertopics5975]

Just found your videos. You guys are great! Cleanup is half the battle! I envy you your youthful energy. This trailer is going to look great when it's done. Butyl tape is your friend. I was astonished at the layers and layers of flooring you had to take up. Keep plugging away at it - it will be worth it! Waiting for part 3!

[@patricsalada4313]

Awesome so far. I recently acquired a Bonanza Traveler a 21 footer I believe from the mid 70's or so. it has the same basic shape as your concord and the exact same corner moldings on the outside corners. lots of water damage, lots of work and loads of fun.

[@KatieAndAri]

It is a lot of hard work! Take lots of before pictures so you can stay motivated! Sometimes you don’t realize how much progress you’ve made until you look back at where you started.

[@Lonewolf-ty9lq]

@@KatieAndAri that is true I had one almost like this one gave to me the old man said it was built in. 72 or 73 with water damage I didn’t have a lot of money I think I spent maybe $1,200 or 1,300 I used Materials that was gave me the most I spent was Solar panels in they were used but they work the funny part was I had to bull the old camper 40 miles back home with my 1999 Ford Taurus it struggled but it made it I have a old 2010 Ford crown Victoria cop car it pulls it mush better it’s the memories hard work fixing it but well worth it

[@johnnymack8442]

Great work. Hope to see a part 3

[@TheREALOC1972]

I lived in my 16 foot camper for 5 years when I was a Travelling Tech for Indian Motorcycles and loved every minute of it. I would go somewhere for 3 months then would move on to my next place never going further than 500 miles except my last trip when I went from OKC to Tucson where I live now because I told them I wanted to retire out here so they sent me out here and I just stayed at the dealership I was working at and went to work for them after my contract was up. I bought a 8 acre piece of land with a mobile home with cash that I had saved up while traveling that needed to be completely gone through a couple weeks after I got here and lived in my camper while I gutted and rebuilt it. This will be my 4th year here and I still the camper for weekend getaways and Vacations. I'm retiring completely at end of 2025 I'm thinking very seriously about selling my place and taking off on the road again.

[@cathyjackson5959]

Gonna have to do pressure wash again. Spray with Mr Clean or Simply Green. Y’all are doing an Amazing job❤❤❤

[@jameswallace7351]

I can't wait till the next video I'm getting ready to do a motorhome and I'm watching videos to get ideas that will help me out with it good job so far good luck with the rest

[@larrybenthall2325]

Waiting to see part 3 thanks

[@JonNeillArtist]

Is there a part 3? I have a similar build and wondered if you sealed the inside walls from having tiny leaks or removed the windows and resealed...

[@donaldbentley2663]

Chatty chitty bang bang started out as a rough jalopy and with a lot of work came out ta have a lot of adventure keep at it enjoy watching the progress

[@jenniferdavis8088]

We have a older camper with no a.c. so we bought a portable a.c. unit it's a very good alternative for the camper , it comes with a hose something like a dryer hose but more durable and a metal attachment to vent it out of a window and it doesn't have any water drainage so it works great and we have seen people place window units in campers but then you have to worry about leaks and it sticking out farther than the camper , just a thought for y'all to think about

[@Derpingtonshere]

They also sell the attachments for camper/rv's so no need to use it in the window. Just cut a square to size and it fits right in.

[@robertarmstrong9166]

Doing linger strokes saves you time and your muscles, as opposed to going back and forth quickly but only tackling a couple inches as opposed to your most convenient and productive range of motion with. Just q thought to cut down on a lot of time pressure washing. Yall both do a great job, you enjoy it so much more when you do the work yourself

[@Joker4Hire]

Love watching the awesome restoration. Amazing job

[@pheenix42]

Looked SO much better just getting the grime off the outside!

[@babaganoosh1969]

Something about dirt coming off with a power washer is so satisfying lol

[@galerotan2767]

Is there a part 3???

[@georgeshelton6281]

Here's what no contractor said to me about this old trailer: I'd like for you to know that we didn't insulate the trailer's entire floor. We didn't use flex seal rubber for insulation.

[@diannavoss8552]

Well, ow we know how to power wash a trailer. Your first video was great, but you stopped after #2. There are a lot of us waiting for your next videos!! Don’t leave us hanging, please!!

[@peggymurphy7917]

Can't wait to see it finished. But, do y'all never talk? 🥴😁

[@dalebechtel8904]

Excellent job. 👍

[@brunoreed5051]

Looking forward to more! Need my progress fix!👍🏼

[@Gollammeister]

I'd have washed the exterior by hand sure it would've took way longer but it saves pushing water into seams joints with pressure of water doing a very nice job of cleaning the exterior and interior 👍👍

[@williamcabana5326]

Looks great, your rewards will pay for themselves... 😁

[@kyliepierson8718]

The only fun part about power washing is power washing watching power washing is like watching paint dry LOL. Great video takes dedication to put your work on video has a lot of extra steps I appreciate your effort

[@marlenecarvajal9242]

Will there be a part 3? I’m excited to see the results!

[@johnccada8408]

Where's part 3 ??

[@nancycobb5090]

Big change a washing will have. Love this

[@samuellams3614]

Great video!!

[@Level_Up_Nation]

Since rent prices in the Country seem to keep climbing higher and higher, buying these old campers for a few hundred and modernizing them, makes a lot of sense. To rent a spot in a camper grounds runs around $300 a month including water and power. Would rather pay $300 for the same size space as that camper, you get in these $1800 1 bed apartments.

[@glennsmartlowit9125]

How did guys come across this trailer? Nice I can't wait to see the very end the trailer of before & after videos

[@nathalou3632]

dommage nous n'avons pas trouvé les part 3 et autres....

[@omarhrnndz]

Okay so no part 3 ?

[@islandvibesgardening4419]

Can you guys link where you got all your equipment and parts to renovate your RV?

[@fordfan3179]

Any new updates on this build? My mom and dad had one of these campers in the Poconos for years. They demoed it right on the spot. There's been a couple new campers on that spot since. My sister owns the lot now. The spot and whatever camper on that spot will probably always be in the families hands.

[@mrkrause3]

Good job….keep at it!

[@airriic4314]

Just added you love your vids keep up good job.

[@jimmyrussell8834]

More power washing please! Maybe some paint drying?

[@WarshMeh]

Did you guys move on to other projects?

[@lendouma3224]

Is there a Part 3 ?

[@77cuzigetatemore]

Wanted to see how you covered the tires when you were doing the floor in the last video. Part 2, you enter and they already done.

[@dennishuntley7688]

50/50 Bleach and Water mix sprayes on with a garden sprayer before pressure washing will kill yhe alge and keep it from coming back so quick.

[@micheleford4282]

i got super invested and no part 3 lol

[@adirondackErin]

I want to do something like this before I’m too old to do it!

[@Derpingtonshere]

Do it, what's stopping you?

[@nugsymalone1247]

I got a 2001 20 footer, 2 doors, and a slider for 350 bucks. Only I'm gutting mine to make it a coop

[@noemisolano4748]

Just think you both are making a great investment in fixing and renovating this trailer! Best part is once you are done, you both can live in it full time and pay no more apartment rents or mortgage. Plus you can travel the world!! With this COVID pandemic, people being evicted or stressed from working around the clock to pay rising apartment rents or mortgages, many individuals are looking at other places to live like tiny homes, van life or living in trailers. Many families are moving into schoolies now during this COVID pandemic.

[@larrybenthall2325]

Waiting to see part3 thanks

[@caterpillarkiller1970]

At 29:30 what are you doing? Looks like sealing up screw holes or something.

[@traveljay751]

Love your work guys. Do you have any footage of repairing the walls and ceiling? Love to see that more than you know. I have a 73 dodge concord I need to fix 😬😜

[@lorentiafranklin2286]

What is the tool call you used to tap those patches into place.

[@lucianavarro9606]

Exelente job!

[@HoodBillyLife]

Seems like forever since I watched part 1, guess I’ll have to rewatch it lol

[@samieparadise9316]

My phone buffered at 24:44 and scared the living shit out of me. He was staring through my soul for way too long. Pause the video and press this time and you’ll see what I mean

[@Gollammeister]

If you ever plan on using the caravan in winter I'd put panels under caravan to prevent icy wind blasting underneath caravan making it freezing inside

[@robinharvey5634]

why didn't you caulk under the patch panels before installation ?

[@KatieAndAri]

I definitely should’ve!

[@RichardCockerill]

@@KatieAndAri yes,and not regular caulk

[@ajboscan6711]

great job!

Do you guys have links to items you guys bought?

[@billhayward2668]

I don't see a part 3,was the project abandoned?

Just watched this getting prepped to go my own and my begin getting is looking slit the same as yours. Question did you decide to rewire anything ? Did you keep the heating unit or cooler or did you change everything? 😊

[@tomandlisamckibbin3761]

Did you ever finish this project?

Im Innenraum dürfte sich durch die Verwendung eines Hochdruckreinigers viel Wasser im neuen Boden gesammelt haben. 😮😢

[@jam2theongie836]

25:15 if you spray abit of soapy water onto your fingers the silicone wont stick to you and you can get a much cleaner job

[@DavidJVMusic]

Are you going to get back to this after the house reno is done?

[@eastsidesound]

When's part 3 💓🙏😜

[@mariarivera277]

Part 3 please

[@tcg2ki]

so why wouldn't you put all purpose sealant before you revited on the covers?

[@ackrolikowski]

Did you do a part 3 ????

[@johnthomson1579]

Foam for van first?

[@samanthawoodard7988]

I’m in the same boat right now, I just bought a camper that’s ruined, and I want to rebuild it like u guys did, do u have an estimate on how much u guys spent on wood and things like that

[@KatieAndAri]

For all the work we had done so far, it was around $350

[@germandelgado5180]

Great Job

[@Lily_faith227]

How much did it cost?

[@laken97]

Love this! Would yall be open to making playlists for the video series that yall have so its easier to find things? Like a play list for vlogs, playlist for renovation stuff, ect?

[@KatieAndAri]

Sure, we can work on that!

[@allyderaaf129]

Yipeee! Part 2 😊

[@YahshuaLovesMe]

Old beauty already to work on. All it these usually need is a bath and new windows.

[@RichardCockerill]

a lot more than that

[@leslietorres2821]

It needs to be completely renovated ,because the wood is looks old, the entire floor

[@WarshMeh]

No seals on the panels? why?

[@penelopekeys8911]

What is the tool you are using to secure the panels called?

[@XtremeChiliPepper]

It's a rivet gun. Used mainly for gutters, or anything aluminum or sheet metal.

[@donaldbentley2663]

Chitty chitty bang bang ha ha,question restoring windows or modernizing?

[@Derpingtonshere]

If you can restore them 100% restore because windows like that are VERY VERY VERY expensive because they are "Vintage" Even ones in crappy shape you can get around $100 for depending on the window.

[@pedrogonzalez817]

Y part 3 and 4??
