I can see why you were attracted to it...under the grime it has a very neat shape, no hole or rips, and I love that door. Love the aggressive music while cleaning !

Laura: "It fell into my lap" Also Laura: actually walks home and actively searches for something to trade it for

The shell cleaned up astoundingly well. Having to gut all interior systems means you can install all modern stuff. Modern batteries, lights, cooking facilities...

[@ciscovazquez3280]

You see, the reason I love your videos is because no matter the situation, You always keep a clear mind and positive attitude. And always look at the worst with a good laugh. Is really enjoyable. Thanks for making me laugh with you.

[@CetMM]

Your subscribers don’t think this is a bad idea at all. We’re looking forward to see this go from rescue to renovated 🙌🏾

Man, just after the wash alone it looked 100% better. What a fun project!

starting the video laughing and saying "I did it again" is a sign that something good is yet to come.

Had me smiling the whole time, Laura. Love seeing your so excited. And I think Smudo would say it was a huge score just for the cushions :)

Yes, not sure what he smelled there but he LOVED it! :)

[@lawrencekeating5571]

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

Some kind of -catnip- dog-nip, obviously. You don't mandatorily have to know what exactly has that capability to get Smudo instantly smitten. You're about to love the Kampf-Camper at least a little less after You might learn I'm afraid.

You’re sooo adorable. You don’t have to justify buying a new camper Laura. I for one am just thrilled to see what you’ll do with it. And thanks for contributing to that circular economy. Cheers!

[@Saavik256]

In all honesty, for a 40 y/o camper, it's in a darn good shape. Plus, you're super talented so I am sure you will make something amazing out of it! :) Stay awesome and stay safe! Much love from Slovenia!

[@lustigerastronaut6427]

I camped in the Qek Junior trailer every summer weekend of my entire childhood. It's super cool that you found one to save. Good luck to you!

I recently inherited my uncle's old RV. At first, it always seems like a great project. After breaking down 3 times trying to get it home, paying 2000$ for new brakes, tires, and working on it in 36 degree weather, AND gutting the entire thing only to realize the roof needs to be replaced.... It is a little overwhelming. But I will keep pushing through. Your adorable little camper cleaned up REALLY nicely! I hope you enjoy using it as much (or more) than working on it. Cheers!

[@robloxianashleyy2188]

Have u finished your project a year later

[@willfoley25]

@@robloxianashleyy2188 the project took a sharp turn. Unfortunately, the camper walls and floor were too far gone to save. I stripped the entire RV down to bare chassis, and put a 41 Ford truck cab on it. It will take some time to finish, but it will be worth it in the long run. I'm still dreaming of camping. It will just be a bit different.

Hi! Laura only today I discovered your very inspiring, motivating and educational video about this 40 yr old camper. How so amazing you had turned this lonely camper into useful beautiful one. I feel you how you connected with old antique stuffs. I also do preferred old stuffs that are made very good and durable long lasting usage. Thank you so much for sharing your very skillful work, it's easier said than done. From now on I will regularly watch your videos and will tell and show my son how your work is done. My son is a Seabee ( builder) of the US Navy for 14yrs now.. We live here in Illinois, USA. More and more luck and power to all your very interesting work most especially no wasted money to your wonderful projects. You all be safe and Godspeed...

[@bobbywong9392]

Smudo sees the mattress.. his reaction.. "Mine" On a serious note.. (sorta) I don't see any thing wrong with the decision. You do what you do best and enjoy it. And if it helps any a piece of advice I learned long ago. "Your only limit is your imagination." From what I've seen of your work, you've got a great imagination.

[@jasonharding9490]

Hey Laura, happy international women's day!! I hope you are having a good day. Thank you for all your content, it is very much appreciated.

I was in W. Germany for a couple of years, however no knowledge of camper vans. If it hasn't been on the road for 5-10 years, used on the road, then is there a VIN or something? Do you need some sort of certificate from the DMV equivilent to actually use it on the road? Non-Germans are curious. I know you're going to throw some solar panels on the top, and run 12/24v electrics, right?
