Inside Our Renovated 27ft Class C RV (perfect full-time setup)

[@FRANK45CASTLE]

One of my closest friends recently got one of the same size RVs. His kids graduated college, got married. He sold his house and has been on the road for almost a year. Photos from his travels is making me really want to find a way to make this work. Me and him are both retired veterans with pensions so I would hope thats enough. Your RV is awesome, your a power couple =)

[@gabandbren]

Awe thank you so much! That’s great for your friend. The opportunity can pass you by quickly so highly recommend doing the damn thing!

[@javacup912]

Great job. I have an older '91 24' Class C and was my home for myself for a while, and while I was working at a specific job location for a few months, I had a 20 lbs. propane tank hooked up with a T-fitting and shutoff valve, so I could carry the propane tank to get refilled, or swapped, as needed, and not having to move the RV. The RV tank was 40 lbs. and usually was not used much, unless I was in cold weather for the furnace. The sofa was a scissor type which doubled as a bed. As you state, the window awning are way more practical than the long ones usually on the passenger side, for all the reasons you stated. The roof solar panes is a great solution, and much better than rigid panel, both for installation issues and they just look better.Looks like you guys are well setup. Safe travels.

[@gabandbren]

Thank you! Funny how they come out with new RV’s every year and still think the old ones might be better 😅

[@amiralions2681]

That floor plan is everything. It's rare that manufacturers can be bothered with a toilet closet these days.

[@gabandbren]

It’s so true! Frustrating looking at new ones and can’t find a floor plan we like more - and it even has real wood cabinets!! Those are harder to find than Bigfoot in newer RVs 🤣

[@tinyelephant77]

Over the cab bed is super common as the only bed in shorter class Cs. Love how bright, open and spacious it is! Y’all did a great job!

[@gabandbren]

Thanks so much!! Maybe something we’re not familiar with, but we definitely considered buying a new RV and couldn’t find any layouts like this! The only ones like it were the cruise america or rental company RV’s, but you can’t buy those ones directly. Let us know if there’s any models you know of!

[@tinyelephant77]

@@gabandbren wow. I wonder if they no longer make them. They were super common in older models. Maybe those have mostly been snatched up!

[@bjwieland-doucet5917]

Nice job. I wish they made newer Class C's like this. Great floorplan & killer outside storage. 👏👏👏

[@gabandbren]

Thanks, we agree! Wish they did too!

[@ozwomanid57]

Mice and small rodents can be a huge issue. In my extra clothes storage - fabric bags with zippers - I use satchets or dryer sheets. I normally use something with a lavendar smell. This keeps the mice out. Putting drops of peppermint oil in the window corners keeps ants and spiders at bay. RVs are notorious for thin windows. Similar to Japan,use bubble wrap with double-sided tape on the inside windows. They usually put the smooth side facing outward. This keeps cold/heat out. 😊😊 Your shower is HUGE for an RV!

[@gabandbren]

Thanks for the tips! We did have a few mice that came in through our furnace exhaust - maybe this would’ve helped!

[@WealthyChronicle]

Wait...did they just say they found cushions in a dumpster?! Talk about a thrifty find! Respect for that creativity 💡

[@gabandbren]

Haha that’s correct! Can’t pass up a good find!

[@plants4thewin]

The Dog: No need to invest in a new bed. This is fine. 🤣

[@garym4956]

A familiar story. We purchased a 2003 Fleetwood Tioga E450 with 42K miles on it in 2020 and restored it as well. We’ve put about 15K on it and never once have had any mechanical problem. We do all the regular maintenance like replacing belts, filters tranny and diff fluids. I resealed the roof two years ago . We put better tires on it and what a world of difference that made! Smoother, quieter ride and it feels more stable on the road. One huge esthetic thing we did was I masked off and spray painted the fading decals on the outside. Also, a wireless backup camera and TPMS system makes our travels safer and gives us piece of mind. Our bike rack holds two EBikes that give us freedom to leave the rig in the campground. We hope that your unit brings as much joy to your souls as ours does. Stay safe, BLESSINGS!

[@gabandbren]

So glad to hear it’s all worked out for you, thanks for sharing! We have gone back and forth about owning something older but so far we’ve been happy with it! 🤞

[@valeriebridge7305]

Gab that was the most entertaining commentary I have yet heard! Thanks dor showing us your home without telling us about every single item in your storage space. I think both i side a d outsidd your home is lovely. Look after yourselves and have a great time traveling (and working) Best wishes from Aotearoa-New Zealand,

Hahaha aweee thank you!!! 😅❤️ We’ve watched a lot of tours and glad you noticed we tried to only show some of the highlights to make it a bit more engaging. Cheers!

[@annepalmquist5855]

I'm so excited that the algorithm recommended your video to me!! We have your exact RV but the 2003 model. I renovated ours in 2020, and we've loved being "driveway dwellers" to visit family and friends with our two dogs and using it for sporatic weekend/week camping trips. I'm absolutely stealing the magnets for the external doors and am beyond excited to binge a few more videos for additional ideas! ❤

[@gabandbren]

That makes us so happy to hear, greyhawks unite!! 😆 You won’t regret the magnet catches 😉

[@msuehale]

Super job! Everything you need and no clutter!

[@gabandbren]

Thank you! Nice to have a place for everything 😄

[@mlw8998]

I love the bed placement it really creates and open space.

[@gabandbren]

Right? It’s been awesome for us! I wish someone made a newer RV model with the primary bed above the cab, bc yeah it creates SO much more living space 😄

[@JayleeSpieler]

You guys have good energy for making videos.

[@gabandbren]

Wow thank you, appreciate it! Hope you enjoyed! 😄

[@debbiejansen1178]

I lived in a 27' motorhome class C.for 6 months. It is common for a bed to be above the cab in a class C. Thats one of the purposes of that style. There are plenty of them on the road. I think they are the best designed rv. Did a trip around the country in it. The best times!

[@gabandbren]

That's awesome! And you're right that just about all class c's have the bunk cab over but the main difference is that is our only bed! Most other class 's the bunk is additional sleeping quarters

[@letispillane]

You guys did such an amazing job on that RV. I’m so excited for you. I want one now. 😊

[@gabandbren]

Thanks so much!! It’s been such a great experience so far, would recommend! 😊

[@lunamellor3432]

You both did a great job renovating the RV. I can tell you put a lot of thought & attention to every inch. Bravo.

[@gabandbren]

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@Laressamack]

Wow. That is a great rig! Have never seen that particular layout. We renovated our 2014 30" Class C, which I love, but I think you have more storage space inside than we do. We have a bedroom in the back but I personally love that overcab bunk space for naps and a reading loft. I love your layout. We also painted our cabinets white and you can do white caulk around those spaces where the paint is cracking and it should look finished. New sub!

[@gabandbren]

Thank you!! We should’ve mentioned it but we made custom covers for the overhead bunk which helps so much for heat/insulation but you’re right it’s so cozy up there 😊 and thanks for the pro tip on caulking the cabinets! Definitely will give this a try!

[@DHSFEMA]

Love your camper but love the Dog more, great job, safe travels

[@gabandbren]

Haha thank you, we love her too! ❤️

[@rvnut1133]

Great job with the remodel guys, it looks very spacious and comfortable. However, for me, there is no way on earth I could sleep up in the cab because with the way I sleep, I would have a broken bone every single night. I would be falling off that thing every 10 minutes.

[@gabandbren]

Thank you!! Hahha honestly was a potential concern for us initially but a year in and neither of us have ever fallen out 🤣

[@Dragon_Jewelz]

Great video! You can use paintable caulk for the cracks on your cabinets, and I keep our Landry baskets in the shower, pop them out to shower and pop them back in when we are done! hope that helps!

[@gabandbren]

Great tip! We’ll have to try that paintable caulk - only concern is the we also have cracking in areas that we used caulk on the walls/floor 🤣

[@georgebuscay8511]

We were on the road full time for a few years, and we had a big mesh bag we would put in the shower for dirty laundry. Easy to pull out and take a shower. We had a 26' we bought from a relative that was a mess. My husband renovated and I came up with the decor. Hippie/Hawaiian. 😅 We now bought a house on the Oregon coast, miss all the traveling. Have a great time.

[@bjwieland-doucet5917]

That's where I keep my laundry basket too. 😅 I'm in a '99 Montana 5th wheel but REALLY would love one like this for the mobility. I'm stationary now since I don't have a truck to move it. 😊

[@bjwieland-doucet5917]

​@@gabandbrenHave you tried the silicone caulk? It's flexible & doesn't dry out or crack as easily.

[@lindseylaney9475]

Your Rv seems so huge inside. Especially the bathroom. You dont have alot of clutter so that helps even with gas mileage, to keep it simple. You really found a great rig! So Perfect to make your own. 💝

[@gabandbren]

Thank you so much! We're loving it so far 🥰

[@philkillen5016]

You've got a oven. You can cook a prime rib roast. Put it in a open pan. Its good for your Christmas dinner. 20 minutes per pound of meat. Its easy. Plus a couple of side dishes on top of your stove. And dont give up that turkey dinner either just because your in a trailer. Just get a small turkey breast and youll be good for a couple of days. Have fun and that renevation looks spectacular. From phil

[@gabandbren]

Thanks so much Phil!!

[@cjhoward409]

Class C’s are very common to have the bed above the cab. Unless the rv is under 20 feet. Ours is 30 feet and we have a queen bed above the cab and also a queen in the back that we can walk around 2 sides. Love the half booth/half chairs. That was a great idea. 😊. We keep our laundry bag in the shower. Most rv parks we have stayed at have really nice showers, so we rarely have used our shower. We have a small water heater. 7 min max showers.

[@gabandbren]

You’re right about the over-the-cab bed, however ours is a bit unique because it’s the ONLY bed, which makes sense for us because we don’t need two 🤣 Just allows us to be smaller in size but still have everything we need! Interesting thought of laundry in the shower, might have to reconsider 🤔 Our setup “works” but feels like it could use an improvement haha, thanks!

[@melissabenson6749]

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

I've found it fairly common for a bed to be over the cab in. Class c. It's usually in addition to the primary, though. In mine I used it as primary and where the corner bed was made storage under bed base, and used the platform area for my art studio and office space.

[@gabandbren]

[@bobk18]

Really nice rebuild. Nice kitchen. That’s a big fridge, I have a 5.1 and it’s plenty big enough. ,, Pretty much every class c has an over cab bed. Funny how older class c used swappable 20 lb. Propane tanks which I like better anyways.

[@gabandbren]

Thanks! Yeah swappable tanks would be so nice. Having an on board one makes us reaally hesitant to use our furnace, cuz it’s a pain to go refill

[@rickl6697]

I wish you had a video on the flooring and how you dealt with the slide out area. Is it floating or did you glue it down. Thanks, beautiful renovation.

[@gabandbren]

Thanks so much! And great question, it is floating but we used stair edging since the slide is elevated from the floor about 2 inches. We also caulked around the wall edges! I would recommend siliconizer as it allows the most flex.

[@kamitch290]

Great job on the renovations. Newer RVs don't have that much storage on the exterior. Your interior renovation really opens up the whole inside. Air fryers are real game changers now. Stoves are not needed in RVs anymore. I'd rather have the storage space and use an air fryer, microwave, and crockpot. If you wanted to extend the counter space, you could add a drop down counter on the end. I love the half dinette and two chairs idea. Dinettes tend be a waste of space. Although I'd have to figure out where to put a litter robot to travel with cats. Perhaps use one of the storage areas under the slideout. And the cover on the front windshield was a great idea. Anyway, well done and you won't find anything close to this layout on the market in a new RV.

[@gabandbren]

Thanks so much! We thought about the counter extension but we’ve surprisingly found that we don’t struggle with needing more space thank goodness. For a kitty litter spot wonder if the shower would work? Or the best would be building one. Like our black storage box we built that is on the right when you walk in? You could have that be a disguised litter box!

[@chasityrichards1224]

Do the flexible panels work pretty well? Just curious if your solar setup works well for your power usage? And how much power do the 2 of you use per day? Just curious because I also have a class C that I'm remodeling

[@gabandbren]

They’ve worked okay - allowed us to be off grid consistently for a few months straight (with no AC) powering our starlink, air fryer, electric kettle, stuff like that no problem. Did the trick for the first year but we’re already thinking about replacing with rigid panels due to a few that have stopped producing. We were hoping the durability would be a little better. We have a few videos going into more details about our solar setup if you’re interested!

[@sulindajon9228]

What type/brand of paint did you use on the walls and cabinets? We bought an older RV recently and are doing some renovation on it. Your walls look fantastic! Thanks. Happy Trails.

[@gabandbren]

I would say a tape measure, screw drivers (flathead and philips), a drill, air compressor for tires, flashlight, zip ties, pliers, hammer, and a socket/wrench set would be a really good kit to get you through most stuff! Other things that might be helpful is a hammer, utility knife, plumbers tape, caulk gun+sealant, a multimeter, and extra fuses

It looks like you have more room and storage in your 27' than I did in my 2013 28' Jaco Jaybird with slide out trailer. I got rid of mine because it was too big for just me.

[@gabandbren]

Did you go to a smaller trailer then? We first considered going with a smaller trailer to pull with a Tacoma/Ranger or something but none of them felt like they had enough room. Also didn’t want a big truck/trailer bc of difficulty maneuvering, so that’s why we landed on this! 😅

[@aleydam2161]

Great video. How much do you pay for the spaces to park your RV? Thank you!

[@gabandbren]

Thank you!! This heavily varies as we do a lot of boondocking (free camping) and then do our best to stick to state parks which can average $20-$40/night. Hope this helps!

[@missychan63]

Having a bed over the cab in a class C is extremely common... That's kind of what makes them a class C 😂. I will say however, your bathroom is unusual, and it's fantastic! I don't think I've ever seen that setup in a class. C. As for the "where do you put your laundry?" question- it goes in the shower. No, really. Ask any RVer... The laundry basket or laundry bag rides in the shower.

[@gabandbren]

The uncommon part is that it’s the ONLY bed in the RV - we haven’t seen that in another C Class (except for some rentals) but LOVE it! And yeah bathroom is pretty spacious, don’t even know how to use all of it haha

Can you gut the oven, completely unhook it so no accidental turn ons, and build it into laundry storage?

[@gabandbren]

That would be cool! In theory you could cap the propane but I haven’t seen it done - thanks for the idea!

[@marycgarmon7140]

Maybe consider upgrading the ac control to one that can be operated with an app on your cellphone/laptop or iPad.

[@gabandbren]

Thanks for the suggestion! It's definitely something we've thought about if we upgrade our AC. They also make ones much quieter and more efficient now which would be nice

You two appear to be the most organized RV-life people I've come across!

[@gabandbren]

Haha thank you!! We definitely can be wayyyy better but have come a far way from when we first started 😉

[@margaretb2269]

If you should have additional to your family, would you give up this comfortable home?

[@gabandbren]

​@@margaretb2269 We'll see, pretty happy for the time being. For the two of us (+ pup) it's a great size. We do love being in an RV, and would be able to go significantly bigger if we wanted to, but I think if anything we'd want to size down a bit if we were to get something else. Just prioritize drivability/efficiency a little bit more than living space but everyone's different!

@@gabandbrenGood answer, particularly to what I consider to be a pretty personal question. Class👍🏻🇨🇦

[@fayshaw1]

Is it possible to get a remote controlled heating system, or one that can be controlled by a smart phone?

[@gabandbren]

So you can get a remote controlled portable plug in heater for sure, and they make newer ACs with remote access. We heard from comments that there is a smart thermostat you can install for remote access called Micro Air Easy Touch.

Thank you!

Oh my gosh, I watched my first Living on the Road video yesterday. I quickly saw the girl making the video has been a NFL cheer leader, a fashion model that had been on the cover of magazines, a dog rescuer, and a female outdoor person for many years. This girl has made so many videos, she now has people working for her to film, edit, and post her videos, Tonight KZbin has posted at least a dozen other Living on the Road channels ! The first one caught my attention because the couple we attacked by someone trying to break into their Van .. These Living on the Road folks were quick to copy someone. It is not my mission to find out who the FIRST Living on the Road channel was !

[@gabandbren]

Hahaha there's a lot of us out there!

How does that work for you permanently mounting starlink?

[@gabandbren]

It is semi-permanently mounted to the roof. The mount for it (Trio Flatmount) is attached with adhesive to the roof and then the starlink snaps right into it, so we are able to also UNsnap it to remove if we need to (if we are parked in a shady spot, for example, and want to move it away from trees). But it works great 99% of the time!
