Jaylena, As a retired RN, I agree with the comment about you needing to wear a mask when working around rodent soilings. There are several bacterial and viral diseases that are carried by mice that can cause severe illness and long-term disability. In the clip about taking the sink area out you put your fingers on your mouth several times. Please be aware of what you may have on your hands. I also suggest that you disrobe away from your daughter, placing your clothes where she can’t touch them, then showering before having direct contact with her. I know you will make this RV a palace for you and her. Just be safe so you both can enjoy to the max!

A friend fell through his attic and had a scratch on his leg…fast forward six months and an infection had developed. He almost lost his leg. They suspect it was from mouse droppings.

Geeze this is horrific and very scary for me. Elderly and disabled , the house I am in has been taken over by them. I daily pick up droppings, the guy comes and finds the hole, I ask him to wait so I can wash it and he's pushing it back before I clean it. My daughter knows but not of the dangers.

More work than you bargained for, yet it will be so worth it in the end. As far as the microwave, we live in a fifth wheel RV full-time. This one does not have an oven, only a 3-burner stovetop. The microwave is a convection microwave. I absolutely love it! I use it for microwaving and as the oven. So glad you found those leaks now, and that you have a great "sketchy Philippino" friend to help! Your friendship is with Isaac is something to treasure! Love and respect to you and Isaac!❤

It's a 30 year old unit, this is part of the process with something old. Life is good 😊 The plan was to renovate anyway.

[@markshelhart8338]

Propane detectors are supposed to be at floor level while CO detectors are supposed to be 3 to 5 feet off the floor, My rv came with the combo unit but when I replaceed it, I went with a propane only detector and then replaced the smoke alarm with a combo smoke/CO unit. I have a convection microwave, use the microwave fairly regularly but very rarely use the convection side. They use a lot of power, but you're only running them for 5 mimutes or less.

[@beebop4333]

OBSERVATION...this is a learning lesson. Never get emotionally attached to an item you want to buy. Dont trust a seller and do a major inspection before you buy. If the interior is bad bc they lied, i would get that engine looked at. Tune up and every fluid and filter changed. Dont chance it. Now that she has it, time to move on and remodel it. Look forward, dont beat yourself up. Good Luck

I have a Hallmark popup truck camper, so a much smaller rig with storage is at a premium. I was hesitant to get a microwave due to the space it requires. In the end I got a small one that my 2000 watt inverter can handle. Two years later I'm happy with the decision. When not using it to reheat premade meals it serves as the bread box.

[@simonebarron4005]

I know it's a lot, but I'm excited for you! I can't wait to see you get over the finish line with this. I bet it's going to be amazing! You've inspired me to do this and am saving up to purchase a vehicle, rv or otherwise to build out.

[@donnaradonski2470]

When I was disabled out of the work force I wanted to get a rig and travel. This was one on the consideration list. However the body decided that wasn’t going to be possible. I would have been one who spent the money and got screwed. In the past I would have been able to do what you’re doing, now, nope.

I highly recommend using Dicor “self leveling” around all the roof rack bolt heads and brackets. You don’t need to glob it, let it cover about 1/4” to 1/2” inch. I did RV repairs for years. You do good sense efforts and clean surfaces etc. That eternabond tape is excellent…. Regarding you power distribution box and using LiFePO4 batteries. I could discuss some things. They make them now that automatically handle the top balance … my old unit has one that does not but … if the 12V side has a green light and a small brown button you can do it manually. I personally use and extremely happy with Victron Energy products. Pat.

[@WisconsinWanderer]

years ago i bought a 78’ class C RV on the surface it looked in good shape but when I began to remove the original orange shag carpet I uncovered all the black mold going under the cabinets so i had no choice but to gut the whole thing and start over, and yes i wore a respirator. Tore it down to the studs put in new insulation also replaced the roof. It was costly lesson but well worth it now it’s better than when it was originally built. I put solar on it and I still have the rig today. Your doing a great job my friend 😊

[@1982MCI]

I installed a nice microwave drawer that I got brand new in sealed box from a liquidation store for a steal!! It was normally $1,200 regular retail price that I got for $150 by shopping wisely. I have converted a retired greyhound bus into a really nice custom Coach and all of my fixtures are high end but spent very little because almost all of it came from the liquidation store. My suburban water heater is normally $600+ and I paid $75 for it and it was brand new in a sealed factory box. Rebuilding these vehicles into beautiful, comfortable homes does not have to break the bank or be a budget buster if your wise about how you shop!! Now, this is just my opinion, but since you have a child with you, you will want a microwave for sure. You can do without, but it will make your life simpler if you keep one. I could easily do without one at 59 years old, but I’m not going too. They do simplify life more than we think or admit and it’s worth having a generator on board for any needs that pop up. I’ve got 30a & 50a shore power plug ins, a large 8.5kw Kohler generator that runs on propane, and solar. I will upgrade to a diesel generator at some point but it’s what I had for now and works great but if I needed a generator for daily use then the propane would get expensive quick. I believe in having redundant systems built in so no matter what happens, I can always have heat or a water pump or lights. I have lights on both 110v & lights on 12v. I have diesel, electric (both 220a & 12v), & propane heat. I will never be in a situation where I’m alive and won’t be able to have heat because power is out or not available, or out of fuel, etc. if I can’t have heat then I must be in the hospital or grave and don’t need it anymore. It’s worth it at this point to put your thinking cap on and figure out how to best build your rig to always have you covered for any situation. Your doing most of the work yourself so it won’t cost much more to be sure your covered in any situation

I feel your pain with the nasty mouse situation . I dealt with mouse infestation in my truck camper. It was maddening. They ate wires. They ruined the backseat and literally ate through totes that had food in them. I found mouse traps that were small and had poison in them and it did the trick. I bought them at tractor supply. I haven’t had a problem with them since, but I keep the mouse traps down in my tiny house and my camper.😊

[@TexCynRVLife]

Be careful on what you remove. Some cabinets and such also are built to support the structure of your RV. So far, you're ok. But leave tall structures alone. Such as floor to ceiling cabinets. Fridge cabinet, closet cabinets, bathroom door frame, etc. Mine in my ClassC also support the ceiling/roof. I use my microwave almost daily. Some folks never use them. Personal choice. I am impressed how well that RV was built! They used way better wood back then. Happy Holidays 🤶🎅🎄

Tip... RV'S, campers... Never leave food inside, use mouse traps, sticky traps mothballs, fabric softener sheets concentrated peppermint spray, while not in use, All holes/cracks caulked, after a clean-up, always use bleach. Use stick down floor tile to line bottom of drawers. Also, Ditch your power drill, get an impact driver, + use a liter ( 2ahr ) battery.

I watched your first episode yesterday, and now I’ve run across this one. I have all kinds of questions for you. What is your education level, how old are you, what are you going to do for money on the road, who are these nice people that are helping you? What are your goals with the RV? Do you plan to travel or stay in one place mostly? I would love it if you would give a detailed summary of who you are and what you’re up to. I think that’s such a nice way to start a project. I am enjoying your content so far, and I can’t wait to see what you do with this cool van. Don’t be discouraged, it’s always a big pain to get started.

[@frankroper3274]

You do really good work! I am an old school maintenance man and I go by the code of if it ain't broke then don't fix it! I'm not picky if it works I would have just left it. I would have repaired that old AC and why buy a new fan if the old one works? If you have propane heat with your RV then you don't have to have the heat working with the AC. I have an old RV around 2004 and the AC went out and couldn't get parts so I just did a get around and took the contactor from the board and installed one off the board. Works like new! Don't know where you learned all that but you are really good at it!

[@assiahinarkansas]

It's rough right now but so worth it. Stay strong and true to your plan. It's gonna be a beautiful home.

Suggestion: be sure to install several/few usb ports around the coach interior. It seems like almost everything electronic requires a place to plug it in! As for the microwave, I agree with those who believe you won’t need it anymore. That space will be great for added storage for pantry items. You have quite a “project vehicle” there, but I believe you are doing a great and longer lasting RV!

I love my air fryer oven too!

It's a boat on wheels. Never-ending maintenance, repairing, and fixing. We just want to let you know that we're all counting on you. Good luck.

We used to call our boat -the hole in the water where all the money goes

There is only 2 happy days in a boat owners life. The first happy day is when they buy it. The second happy day is when they sell it.

@@appomattoxross6751 I do miss ole Swift though - many many days sailing the Chesapeake Bay - 1967 Carl Allberg designed BRISTOL YACHT built in the old Hershoff Yard in Rhode Island - B27 Masthead Sloop world cruising model that I added a baby stay to - full complement of sails (10 bags including Spinnaker ) - miss that boat

I’ve found the microwave to be super helpful even though I don’t use one at home. You can run a microwave with two 100Ah lithium batteries and a 2000w inverter.

Just an FYI, the Chinook Forum, although it's not as active as it used to be, has a plethora of useful tips, ideas, schematics, etc. They're really awesome caring people too. I never use my microwave. Nuking food just seems like it destroys all the nutrients and you'll love the extra storage. The more you can design your build around 12 volt, the happier you will be when dispersed camping. Looks like your running lights have seen better days. I replaced all mine with LEDs
