INSTALLING NEW FLOORING IN A HEAT WAVE | RV RENOVATION

[@tasmanianbadger]

Tip from Australia. Put a pole with a lockable hinge on the roof at the back and the front. Have it so that a rope or cable can run from pole to pole. Then drape a tarp, groundsheet or whatever over the caravan. Keep the fabric off the skin of the caravan. Your objective is airflow across the surface of the skin and no direct sunlight. You will be astonished how much cooler and liveable the caravan will be. Should reduce the temperature by 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@thetinyshinylife]

We second that method. Stress tested in 🇦🇺 😉😉

[@nancydenmark1614]

Just might not want to run the roof a/c if it is covered because it requires airflow to work.

[@kathywehmeyer55]

Yeah, what happened to the canopy you used when you were working on the truck, also what bout the canopy on the trailer? No sense letting all that stuff bake in the sun and any shade on the outside makes for cooler air going in.

[@TinyHouseLife]

awesome idea never herd of that one yet.. so good

[@wildfirekristin]

@@nancydenmark1614 Great if idea!!!

[@joannridgway7972]

Allie , just a Al little tip I learned. Years ago when we built our house. When painting , turn your clothes inside out , that way if you get paint on them you can’t see it . What do you think.

[@tamara8908]

Allie I can't believe you're painting AFTER the floor and counter tops are in. I would have had paint splattered everywhere!. It's looking good. We have a small travel trailer. Now I'm getting crazy ideas to renovate it. My husband is watching and he looks worried. Love you guys. More pups and goats please!

[@sigrunwestrus68]

I would have painted everything before flooring.

[@lindacondray7918]

That’s what I stopped the video to say too! 🤣

[@annecaulder9495]

I came to say that about painting too! Yikes!

[@ruthjackson4235]

Exactly my thought and nothing is covered to prevent an accidental spill . I can't believe Trent hasn't brought it up...lol

[@Joe-Bazuka]

@@ruthjackson4235 Trent knows his place lol

[@robspear6004]

My wife and I are enjoying your shows and your Terry remodel. A word of caution, IMHO. Most of these trailers and "weak" in the chassis capability. Axles are close to being under rated for weight, bushings are dry, wheels are out of alignment, and on and on. I'd think all the improvements you are making are adding weight to the unit. You may want to consider upgrades on the axles, springs (to include wet bushings) and shock absorbers. The weight capacities for the trailer should be noted on the outside of the trailer somewhere. And realize the dry weight noted does not include full tanks. Water and waste weigh a lot! Best of luck to you and I look forward to your next video!

[@go-dog-go]

Trent and Allie....as 2 of your longtime followers and with some Sage Wisdom...i Highly highly concur what Rob here is recommending. I've renovated alot of homes and 2 of the most Important things are 'Structure (in this instance, frame, axles, bushings, leaf bars) and Roof'. Google YT around..you'll deduce how to fix 'some' of it yourself much cheaper than a mechanic....

[@robspear6004]

@@go-dog-go And don't forget, once all the chassis work is done, to get a wheel alignment! Specialized shops will get this done for you and it doesn't cost a lot.

[@shawneeb3771]

I for one..am doing a standing ovation for Allie. I have never seen anyone paint without a drop cloth and not get any on the new floor. I put down layers of drop cloths and still get it all over...Very good job you both are doing. You both are amazing young people. Take Care and Stay Safe.

[@arthurroberts491]

I started painting the ceiling with an airless hand sprayer. After three square yards my arm was about to fall off, Went to the equipment rental store and got an airless sprayer that pulled paint out of a can on the floor. Previously I had covered the floor in plastic so when I kicked the can of paint there was a half inch of paint slowly flowing toward the edge of the plastic. Spread cat litter on the puddle to soak it up. OK, back to painting. Then I stepped in the puddle so my foot has paint and cat litter on it. But, I can't stop until I am finished with 1000 square feet of ceiling the walls, and seven gallons. Washed the foot and went to the car to sit down for a nap. Wife and two kids went to grandma's for the day. I called them and said to go out for dinner and stay for the night, see you in the morning.

[@source5729]

Arthur Roberts👌🏼 Great story 😆

[@stanskaggs4040]

I rarely comment. But I just wanted to say that I watch around 8 different van life couples. Allie is the bomb. She is my favorite by far. I too have a beautiful wife that is my partner in crime. We are building a tiny house. If it was a youtube channel it would be a comedy. Our 400 square foot tiny house is now 1280 square feet. That is what happens when the wife helps.

[@lenajensen5940]

Yeahhh, my favorite time of the week - a new release from you guys🤗👍🏻

[@TheOleHermit]

It's a pleasure to watch you two working together. Trent is always the man with the plan and figures out how to tackle nearly every task. Allie is the perfect coworker, always helpful with a great positive attitude. Your productivity is amazing! The two of you are an invincible team, capable of anything. Thanks for sharing and uplifting spirits throughout the world, during troubling times.😍

[@truckcampinglife]

I am really enjoying this series as I also buy and remodel old campers. The counter tops and the floors are looking sweet by the way.

[@doctorbills790]

Wayyyyyyyyy too dark. The insides of trailers are white for a reason. You shall find out!

[@flippingnic8739]

[@elizabethmorgan2621]

So much fun to watch! My husband likes the idea of emptying and flushing all the tanks and removing and cleaning the toilet on a used RV he buys, before he begins any work on it. He also has had good luck installing sheet vinyl tile from a big box store. Several brands have a 40 year guarantee and look identical to hardwood flooring. No worries about anything yucky leaking down between laminate joints.

[@michaelsanderson8383]

If you are still having water issues look under “Terry”, there should be a low point drain. It’s primary use is to winterize the trailer as it drains all the water lines.

[@traceyjennings4361]

I am surprised you only put one fan in this long trailer, I think one in the bedroom is needed too. Floor looks great, Trent! I am excited to see the paint colors!

[@hosephine1]

I second that. One pulling out, one pulling in and you will be really cool.

[@gloriamcelroy8341]

I discovered your channel when this pandemic started, and now I'm hooked! Love you guys! You remind me so much of my boys and their wives who are all the same ages. So as I mom of boys, let me just say what I say to them "Trim the beard, Trent"!

Hi Guys Alison from Australia here. Having only been a subscriber for a few weeks I am working my way backwards over your central and South American videos. All I can say is WOW I'm loving them. Particularly, as a retired musician want to say I LOVE your choice of music behind your videos too such a great eclectic mix. You are so good at what you do and incredibly warm and personable people and you both feel like family to me now ! Thank you so much for giving me so many hours of enjoymentit has made lockdown much less lonely living on my own.

[@susan7038]

You would never be sorry to have ac. You may choose to not use it frequently but if you are in extreme heat you will be so happy you did it!!!!!

[@waytoson]

Amen

[@bettybanks9963]

You NEED AC!!!! (Think back to your previous videos from the summer before you went to Central/South America. I’ve slept since then, but as I recall you talked about how uncomfortable it was in your van with no AC.) 😁

[@TravelswithYoly]

If you're in a hot part of the country, A/C is a must in our book. We live in the southeast and we use it extensively just for the dehumidifying attributes often times.

[@OmahGigi]

I live in the south. AC is a MUST! It will keep your caravan from smelling muggy and keep down the moisture. And you will sleep so much better. Keep up the good work!!

[@BTimmer]

Consider a mini split (Mr. Cool). I've seen a number of installations online and the users rave about them.

[@rascalsmom05]

I just want to say thank you for editing out any swearing. My 10 year old son, Slade, and I watch your videos during his chemo treatments.

[@gigigo126]

Having traveled all over the West in an RV we learned in the summer that it could be just as hot in Montana as it was in the Southwest. You will need an air conditioner no matter where you go. Love the new trailer, your doing a wonderful job.

Fairly new to your channel but love how well you work together! Been married 45 years and we have never worked that well together. You are both such kind souls and a sense of humor makes all the difference.

[@sundayze]

May of 1978, our family relocated not far from where ya’ll are...Fillmore, UT. Hubby was working in oilfield on a geothermal well, I believe. So I packed the 4 girls and myself, we only took summer clothes...sandals, shorts, light jackets, etc. Somewhere in the first week of June it snowed a foot and a half! 😳 And my husband got his company truck stuck going to location. He called and wanted me to drive our 4-wheel drive out to Cove Fort, so he could use it. The 4 girls, ages 3 months to 6 had to spend the entire day huddled around a pot belly stove in a little country store, with nothing to eat but candy bars, chips, cokes, etc. They were bouncing off the walls, but I digress! So, I’ll testify that Utah has some pretty crazy weather fluctuations! You guys are doing a great job on this project! I love all your choices so far. Good call on the stain color!

The idea of not putting heating on the floor was a good choice as caravans generally stay warm anyway. Just put slippers on. I love the energy and positivity you both have. It makes a great start to my morning. The colour of the floors and bench tops are a really good match. I learned something from Allie about the pre-adhesive paint on the walls. Also the sealing Trent did on the fan, good advice there. I love watching this van rebuild and your ideas coming together. Keep up the great work. I’ll be watching 😊. ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺

With everything going on in life these days we have been struggling to find time and inspiration to keep on going with our build. So THANK YOU for giving us some ideas and also some laughs while we enjoy our early morning coffee. You 2 are amazing!!!

Try to find and purchase cool rag. They are so awesome they keep the body feeling so much cooler. Wet them and drape around your neck even in the worst heat you feel so much cooler. I wear mowing and weeding doing projects outside in this heat. They never get in the way or fall off. When they start to feel warm which takes quite some time even in the hottest southern weather shake it an reposition on your neck and it’s awesome. My daughter introduced me to it. I didn’t believe it at first. It’s amazing. I love how it keeps you feeling cool and never gets in my way. It drapes on the body and stays. It’s definitely worth a try. You’ll feel so much cooler.

[@randallhuls9909]

Hi guys As a old fellow caravanner for 15yrs, I have a few tips 1. Clean out a place in the barn for all the caravan pieces, seems silly to move it every day when you have a huge barn. 2 Put anchors on the dangling light switch at the rafter, then remove the 2x4 and bend the conduit up to clear your heads, then put a motion switch on there for whenever you walk in. 3. You will need A/C since surroundings change. Your Terry has a vent for it in the middle, new ones are efficient and quieter than before, some now have heat strip so as not use furnace. 4 In the video, your rubber roof is old and oxidizing, I used elastomeric rubber roof paint and put several coats over the rubber roof to prolong the $1000+ they get to replace it. Love the paint and floor, and now you guys are inspiring me to fix mine up a little. Thanks

[@embertheelder]

Project is looking good. That floating flooring needs an expansion gap near the walls/cabs of 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Cover it with quarter round. Especially in a trailer with hot and cold extremes having it tight like that seems like a good idea, but you'll get shrinkage, bowing, and warping. The foam underlayment would have helped insulate a bit and keep it from shifting. Used to sell the stuff for a living.

[@verasileikis17]

It’s such a nice face. The beard is partially concealing it. The beard holds in some heat. It also holds other stuff like food, micro particles of who knows what, etc. Trent is a grown man that can do what he wants, but not everyone is a fan of beards. I suppose that a beard in the winter makes sense to some, but sweat, and other things dripping from and clinging to a beard is not pretty. This is just one persons opinion. Terry seems to be getting more beautiful by the minute!

put the table UNDER the light switch.:) Or.... anything big

I sympathize! It is too hot to work in hot weather! I made sure that I got all of the work outside in the morning. We had the same heat here! 103 yesterday, 105 the day before! Today it is cool and breezy! The rain usually misses us. I'll send our cool breezes out to you! I love your dark counter tops and flooring against the light walls and cabinets! Your little home is going to look tres chic!

Why don't you deploy the awning?

[@zanesutherland406]

I don’t use mine because we get bad winds at random times. Our friend who is staying on the property once left his awning out and the whole covering ripped off and flew into our field 😬

[@gebi4pejo1]

Tie it down on the ends weigh a couple of straps, that’s what we do in Australia and when it gets too windy roll it in and we never leave an awning out if we are not there.

We put in laminate flooring in our 25 year old motorhome, and it transformed the unit. Congrats on your installation of a new floor.

[@raematlock9184]

Why don't you open the awning, shading one side will help cool it down a bit.

[@ruthjackson4235]

Good point 🤔

[@CK-831]

too windy.

[@robspear6004]

@@CK-831 Correct. Wind and awnings don't mix well.

I can relate with your painting over the wallpaper. I was repainting an old home. It had layers and layers (and layers) of previous generations of wallpaper. Then there were the walls that needed the plaster restored. One room had a grass wallpaper. The decision was made to prime and paint over the grass wallpaper. I thought the primer and paint might loosen the glue of the wallpaper. It didn't. But, it did suck down a lot of primer, and the final look was amazing. Your paining is going to make Terry look even more amazing. Your success with the fan, counters, and flooring are great with the white, but "the future look" is going to be incredible!

Allie, a trick I learned in Africa, also dry heat where I lived, was to spay water in front of the fan. This cools the air quite dramatically. It’s important to spray your skin throughout the day as the dry heat really dries out your skins. Especially Trent, as he’s a redhead. If you can get a spray that includes Hylaronic Acid and other ingredients that cool and moisturise the skin, so much the better

[@uncleono1239]

Why don’t you just move the table away from the hanging outlet?

[@gilly2878]

Or under it

I refurbished my 1957 Shasta travel trailer. Because it’s a vintage classic it’s good to keep it as original as possible, which was fine because it has an amazing layout and beautiful, real wood. Like you, however, I didn’t like the rubber around all the cabinets so I cut it all off and replaced it with wood trim. The floor was 1950’s cool but had asbestos so I ripped it up with a heat gun, laid a new sub floor on top of the old and put down very expensive Marmoleum from Sweden. You don’t need a heated floor if you use rugs, which also collects the dirt better and cleans up with a good shake out. I stripped all the cracking lacquer off the wood, sanded and now use Howard’s to feed and wax it often - gorgeous. I used vinyl dye to refurbish and protect the classic, basket weave vinyl on the dinettes and sofa bed. Then took a nail to scrape it in a test to see how it holds up. Nothing, stuff is like Teflon. I replaced the counter and table tops cuz of many cigarette burns. Stripped the brown paint off the wall heater and then sanded it to make it look like diamonds. Then hit it with engine lacquer (500 degrees) and it looks amazing. Made new drapes. Repaired the gas lines, then pulled down the gas lamp that was right in the middle of the dinette and kept gouging the crud out of our heads. Stripped the paint off the exterior and had it repainted in its classic pattern. So, ya, I feel your pain. I would so live in her if life weren’t so damn demanding and I didn’t have 13 rescue animals.

Trent is the coolest ginger head dude on You Tube !!! And Allie you are so strong beautiful and awesome #lovemesmetrentandallie

[@kathywalsh9312]

40 plus years with my ginger!!

[@kbee1735]

Super job!! I was gonna say “those cupboards need painting!” And what do you say?... “we’re painting all these cupboards!” Fabulous video...

[@doranamatto4204]

I wish I could send you a picture of my trailer reno.I put a second floor on a 28 ft travel trailer.

[@BricksofHappiness]

Same thing is happening in northern AZ right now. It went from chilly at night and having the heater on low to over 90F in just a couple days. Not being able to acclimate makes such a huge difference. Terry is looking great!

[@Tele-dude]

The floor looks great, now I wonder what colors Allie has chosen 🤔

[@davevermaak8701]

Hi folks, I really love what you are doing to the caravan or whatever you cal it over there. I do have three questions: 1. Why are you painting after putting in the floor? What if you drop drips of paint on your beautiful new floor? 2. Are you going to put solar panels on the roof? 3. What are your plans for your campervan down south in storage? I must say I am very impressed with what you have done so far and look forward to seeing the new colours.
