How in the world do you wrap a 38 foot RV?

[@WinnieHome-lt2hu]

Estimate for all the materials? Thanks! Great job 👏

[@PawsForLove]

Thank you! Materials wise, this was between $3-5k worth of materials and supplies.

[@IanBlakeBaldwin]

Awesome Video! Very happy for you guys and definitely want to say' that as much as it is appreciated on your part, it is as equally appreciated to see that generosity like this still exists!! To the Wrap Team that did the Install' Excellent job!! Im new to the channel, but will be following to see all the outreach and updates posted! Stay Safe and Much Respect from Dallas, Texas!!

[@PawsForLove]

Thank you so much for the kind words! We were so grateful for this wrap and it really helped us along our travels last year. We hope that you have a great day!

[@healthyfit8211]

Great job wrapping guys! wowwww❤️❤️👏👏👏

[@PawsForLove]

Thank you so much! It was definitely a labor of love ❤️

[@brown1william]

Where did you find that car wash that you could pull a camper into like that? You made removing the decals look so easy. Mine is a 2016 and I doubt they will come off that easy. I want to wrap the doors, all of them, due to fading.

[@wethedogsdc9899]

This is amazing! We can’t wait until the DC visit!

[@PawsForLove]

YAY!!! That stop will surely be a fun one, I know it! :)

[@davidarmstrong2503]

That is So AWESOME you 3. Take care have A Blessed Journey.

[@ElizabethKathleen-cw1ih]

Where did you get the wrapping?

[@PawsForLove]

We bought the wrapping from Fellars.

[@MrPancake0825]

I love these guys!

[@PawsForLove]

Love you right back our friend!!

[@MalaineGill]

Wow ... Yaw .... That's alot of Work ~ GOD Bless U .... Praying 4 U ~

[@PawsForLove]

Thank you so much, Malaine!

[@cmez7077]

Did they lay the wrap over where the seams are caulked or did they remove the caulk first?

[@PawsForLove]

Great question! We did it over the caulk. However, after having this for a year, I highly recommend removing the caulk, laying down the material, and then re-caulking.

[@jonathanwilliams7161]

Wind Turbines.... Lol JS Love your channel!

[@PawsForLove]

LOL! :)

[@LynnH-u4s]

Where can I get a vest like that? I've had therapy dogs for 18 years and people still aren't sure if they're allowed to touch.

[@PawsForLove]

There are some good places online. We bought ours at therapydogvest.com

[@annshriver8831]

guys! there's a truck was in Eagle Grove. 18miles from Ev!

[@PawsForLove]

What are the odds!! Luckily, we had gotten a truck before leaving Nashville :)

[@barryreynolds7150]

Very interesting process to watch. I work for a public transit agency but never have seen the wrapping process. I can bet none of our buses were done in the middle of Iowa in a huge equipment shed 😆, looks great and what a way to start your journey being blessed like that.

[@PawsForLove]

It was a pretty cool experience! Watching Sean, his cousins, and uncles work on it in the shed was pretty incredible! TONS of memories from long ago and tons of memories from those weeks we'll carry with us!

[@random123outburst]

Out of curiosity do you notice any difference in heat inside of the RV due to the darker colour or the wrap?

[@PawsForLove]

That’s a really great question! We have not noticed a difference internally. I would suspect that it’s a little warmer on the outside when you touch it, but it’s no different than a black vs white/silver car.

[@learnitfromwilliam]

Now that’s it’s been a year, how is the wrap holding up? Looks sick!!

[@PawsForLove]

It’s actually held up really well!! A few rock chips but overall it still looks great!

[@everythingpoppintonfamily5177]

Would I be able to wrap my RV if it has rivets on it

[@PawsForLove]

Yep, you should be able to!

[@wally2786]

That was painstaking to watch. Nicely done.

[@PawsForLove]

Haha! It was definitely a lot of work!!

[@aaronferguson9328]

how many rolls of 3m?

[@PawsForLove]

We used about 3 full rolls.

[@justincarlton]

How much were the quotes you got, out of curiosity. Have thought about doing this for our camper

[@PawsForLove]

Hey Justin! They ranged, but the lowest quote we got was $10,000. The highest was about $13,000. But, if you were to look at just straight material cost, it was about $3,000 for our 38’ trailer. That’s the 3M 2080 material with some additional tools and supplies like the knifeless cut tape.

[@hunkereddownoutdoors]

Could you tell me roughly how much this cost to do?

[@PawsForLove]

It would roughly cost between $8-10k. The material is about $2,500 and the rest is all labor. So if you’re feeling capable, it will save you a lot!

[@hunkereddownoutdoors]

@@PawsForLove Thanks for the information!

[@femalism1715]

I was really curious about this video because I had no idea what wrapping an RV meant or why it would have to 'wrapped'. It looked like wallpapering but I assume the purpose was partly insulation and partly advertising the tour with custom graphics. Could you explain?

[@PawsForLove]

Great question! Yes! We chose to wrap the RV for advertising the tour as we travel. It’s already generated the best conversations too! So it’s working. :) The grey and yellow graphics are a 3M vinyl material - it’s like one big sticker on the RV! :)

[@loganmccarty2291]

So are you using a heat gun to apply the vinyl? And what was the price?

[@PawsForLove]

Yep we sure did! We got quotes for between $10k-15k for the complete wrap.

[@davidspencer6143]

Can I ask where you purchased the wrap? We are looking to do something similar but for the front portion of our RV

[@PawsForLove]

Hi David! Our family actually helped us do this wrap. It’s a 3M Vinyl wrap and you could call a local wrap shop to see if you could purchase the materials through them!

[@delanos53]

Almost forgot if you guys are thinking about one of those portable power station I just got one after a week of research. Thankfully I was a Ham Radio operator ant at my start an electronica tech so I speak fluent Battery. Get one that has the newest lifpro4 batteries in it. They can be cycled 3500 times as apposed to 500. I went with the BLUETTI but Golabs makes good ones too. You can charge a lot of stuff off them. Also run a coffee maker at the same time. I remember you could not make coffee during our big freeze here in Texas. Lol

[@PawsForLove]

We will look into that!! Because you never know when these things can happen and well… coffee is key! 😂 Thanks for the tip Steven!!

[@hausmanaaronw]

I have seriously been thinking of doing our 40'TT and am wondering what this would cost to have a shop do. I don't think I'd try to do it myself. Lol

[@PawsForLove]

We definitely recommend having a shop do it because it is a ton of work and there are certain areas that require special skill to wrap. If you are looking to change the look, getting it painted would be the better way to go. The wrap costs around $10k-15k to have a professional shop complete it. A paint job will run about the same amount, but it’ll last much longer.

[@delanos53]

Now that's a tractor.

[@PawsForLove]

Nothin’ runs like a Deere! 🦌

[@ShepherdschapelYTexplainsbible]

Let's turn to God Theseasonorg explains the whole bible God bless

[@PawsForLove]

Amen!

[@delanos53]

Lol you guys were luck I helped take decals off a very old trailer and it came off in tiny pieces lol.

[@PawsForLove]

We can’t even imagine how hard that would have been! The front cap on ours was awful and it broke apart the entire time 🥵

[@delanos53]

Had to use a heat gun and scrapper. A year later a goof in in my ham radio club wrecked it. Thankfully it was donated. We raised enough money to buy a 5th wheel and I got to design the enterior. Biggest communication trailer I ever saw short of the government lol. Never got to use it I got transferred shortly after it was completed. Lol.

[@PawsForLove]

Sean did the same - heat gun, a scrapper, and a lot of “goo gone” equivalent! It took him longer to do the front cap than all 3 sides of the RV! Ugh!!! We’re so bummed that happened to you! Bet you’ll never forget those experiences 😂 even if you’d like to!
