WHY People DON'T Buy OLD CHEAP Truck Campers: What You Need to Know

[@sherryspectre217]

There is a product called Silver Coat, for roofs. I'm a professional painter, and have used this product in the past. It's a mesh/ liquid coating, that will seal your roof. I've done a few campers with it and have had success.... Good luck. If I can help with anything else, hit me up....✌🏼❤️🌱

AMEN! love this. we needed a good reminder that our life is one big adventure

[@CampingTherapy]

My colors are aqua, light brown, and off white. Those are the colors in my curtains and cushion covers, and I used those colors to do the cabinets. You do have to break up the blue some, or it's overwhelming.

[@honeyiroam]

so pretty!! yeah good call. we are thinking one more color

[@jcole22370]

Things happen. Once you get it all fixed it will be ok It just takes time. At least you can fix it. My body is falling apart but I cannot get a new one or fix it. Smile God Loves you

[@honeyiroam]

Thanks Joleen!!

[@mrgatorzx]

You guys are great. Love the videos I was born in Texas but lived in Florida most my life lol some weird connection with yall 😅 keep making them videos and be safe

[@sherryspectre217]

There is also a product called liquid sand, that you wipe on, and, you don't need to prime...❤️🌱✌🏼

[@cherylhittel6520]

Love how you work together as a team and just handle anything that comes up!! Im sure you lost a lot of sleep the night of the hurricane but you had it all figured out! Great planning!! ❤️

[@rockesark9689]

Half the fun of getting something a little older is fixing it up and making it unique. In the end you get to stand back with pride and know it's yours. It's going to be fun watching the camper transition into something special. Don't let a little thing like a hurricane get in your way (ha).

[@honeyiroam]

That is so very true. We've already learned so much and feel even more capable than when we started. It's very freeing learning and growing. Thanks for the encouragement, it truly means the world to us

[@karengladys2011]

So glad you found the leak and getting it fixed! Love the color you chose for the inside of camper. Can't wait to see it all finished!♥️

[@honeyiroam]

We are sooo happy we decided to just dig in and fix the leaky roof. Thanks for the sweet comments, we appreciate your support

[@William2N]

Love the Color!

[@wilderjess]

Hey Honies!! Welp, you sure did become one if my instant favorites to watch on the Tube here. Literally love your little family which is complete by the cutest dog Winston. And I loved that name for a dog since 7th grade 😆 My brother and his boyfriend live north of Orlando, I always here about the hurricane prep but never see it. Glad you are all safe and the camper is pretty much gold. Good luck on the repair and be safe climbing up there!!

[@honeyiroam]

Hi there! Thank you so much for saying this. means the dang world to us. we love having y'all on this journey with us, makes it sooo much more special to have a team of honeys backing us up!

[@pamthompson7059]

To boondock you might want to check out solar systems. Mada Nosnibor in Florida and Timmy Burris in TX are part of the Runaway Community who can help you learn about solar and how much you need, (lots). The RV AC are major Electrical pull. A toaster oven, coffee hot pot, and water filter. You need to calculate your needs. You'll need to get as much Lithium Ion Phosphate batteries for long life for full-timers, a circuit protector/regulator, large inverter to run 110 appliances. I have 400-watt panel on my 4x8 runaway and Timmy and Mada I believe have over 700 w on their 6x8 runaways. Have fun.

[@stacks.23]

You got this girls!! Do you have a dehumidifier running in the camper? I’d keep one running 24/7 for the time being if I were you. And maybe a couple of damp rids too, but I’m X-TRA 😂 love the color as well. Can’t wait to see more!

[@wandaizard359]

Looks great girls

[@AnxiousGary]

Uh oh that thumbnail is telling a whole story! Hope to catch the premiere, and that the weather stays dry for a while lol

LOL! you know it. It was a bit of a challenging week...now it was just a good learning lesson!

[@noragodley1270]

SO glad you were only slightly affected by the hurricane! Phew!🌬 I love watching the two of you guys… You always make me laugh out loud. 😂 I am a constant project taker… I exhaust myself regularly. 🙄 Step by step honey’s. It’s already looking great! Stay safe!💜💜💜

I am so glad you are all safe. I could not get this to play last night. Not sure why. I hope you get your camper fixed. I am so sorry you are having problems 😞

May e look into coating the entire roof with flexi seal paint. The stuff is amazing and waterproof ❤ The cabinets look fantastic 👍🏻

You can get window wrap from Lowe's and that will work really good

What a week of challenges! You both handled things so well. Your truck camper is going to be amazing.

[@stevenannett1739]

Make sure you get a good roof sealant painting and do the whole roof! This is where I'm at with the restore of my 1990 Motorhome ! And double up on all caulk Self leveling,, the paint looks great , Great job girls!

[@honeyiroam]

Thanks Steven! yep, that's the plan! looking into the right product for us. right now, we are leaning towards the sta-kool white roof coating. any input?

[@edgaralmeyda5872]

I would lay some white Rhino spray on seal on your roof to protect it.

[@wandaizard359]

Can’t u put a thin sheet of paneling or something that thin cover the entire hole glue it done then cut the hole out to put your unit back in

[@ladytrekkeradventures8376]

At least you found the leak during renovation and not on your travels. Worrying does not change outcomes, I would work on anxiety while your home maybe get some help and see if you can get that under control, I think you will enjoy life more. I live in an motorhome that has its issues but I decided what happens happens me worrying doesn’t stop a leak, a falling limb etc. but y’all got his it will be super nice when your done.

[@honeyiroam]

Yes indeed! this was a particularly stressful situation to us and being a new camper, we are just warming up to this life. Thanks for the thoughtful comments you leave. Hoping you have some lovely Holidays!!

[@southernjustice615]

Hate I missed this live.. I wondered about y'all being in FL. with this weather!!

[@honeyiroam]

ugh! something we didn't want to have to experience. and we discussed the possibility of a hurricane before we arrived & we thought we'd be in a position to just drive the camper away. That hurricane really blindsided us! wasn't expecting that honestly

[@dcw626364]

Suggestion: Saw this from a couple that sealed the top of their schoolie. It's a white sealant that you paint on. It also insulates your vehicle making it much cooler. Also, I'm not an expert but two people standing on the roof on that older camper seems like too much!

[@honeyiroam]

Hi David!! Thank you for that suggestion. We love hearing tips & tricks. we are still learning ! Thank you for looking out for us. Although amber made it sound like we were up there together, we were only on the roof one at a time. safety first!

[@beverleybarclay7990]

I love watching you guys and of sweet Winston. I voted for the blue. I agree that you need to break it up with another color or 2. What ever colors are in the fabrics you ladies are using would be a good choice. Can't wait to follow your progress. Good luck.

[@honeyiroam]

Hi Beverley! Thank you for your sweet & thoughtful comment

[@kb9847]

LOVE the teal/blue!! and keep the bloopers coming. haha oh while watching my Husband said about Amber, "she's a ray of sunshine!" :)

[@julierawlins5984]

You guys bought the right camper. Lance is quality. I am sure (I hope) that you got a good deal on it. A little sweat equity and you will be fine.

[@honeyiroam]

Happy to hear you say that. We’ve heard that Lance are good campers so when we found this lance lite for less than $4000 we had to jump on it!

[@ricohampton997]

I love this HGTV era for y’all! I’m really looking forward to seeing the end results! Have you considered painting the ceilings? Maybe a bright white or a soft pink?

[@honeyiroam]

Love this comment SOOO MUCH. we do want to brighten up the. ceiling a bit, looks rough lol, especially after this leak. soft pink would be 🔥

[@rvnut1133]

Hold on! I just noticed something but I could be wrong. Is that metal on your roof with hail damage?

[@honeyiroam]

Hi there! Yes it is an aluminum roof. There are small indentions which very likely could have been hail at some point. It was from Texas so likely! But no rips other than the one we repaired

[@rvnut1133]

Hi! The reason I asked is because I didn't see any coating on your roof which could cause more headaches down the road. Of course it will all depend on your budget and what you want to do with your rig but I would look into coating your roof. I am in Florida as well and there are a few places that could help you with it if you decide to go that route. I have heard of Flex Armor which offers a lifetime warranty but you could also look into others. Full disclosure - I don't work for any of these products or companies nor I am being paid by anyone. Just trying to help a fellow full-timer.

[@wayniebates7185]
