Woohoo!!

The Japanese shou sugi ban charring of wood has two purposes: 1) prevents wood eating bug damage 2) prevents rot Also has a very unique beauty.

[@feedingit]

Don’t forget it also is a natural fire retardant. Charred wood is less likely to reignite. 👏🙌

[@reneechampagne4081]

Looks beautiful! Omg that Berkey Corset. So clever & cheeky. 🤣 Great job 👏🏼

[@texassews535]

You guys need to be hired by the RV Manufacturer for designing. Really. Only people who live full-time in an RV know what works and what doesn’t. Some interior designer, who doesn’t like the camping lifestyle, will never know what works. What were they thinking when they put the screws in the island in the kitchen? They weren’t thinking about the kitchen moving, on the road obviously! Love your desk area. Perfect. I too love puzzles. Now, you can be together and have puzzle night! How fun. Notice the re-design, making things fit, and liking to do puzzles, all fit together. Hey, Robin and Doug, how do you like the new bed? Is there anything you don’t like about the mattress? I know you didn’t like the previous one, but this one looked really good and kept expanding.....Any loves, or regrets? Great video as usual. Hugs.

[@alanmatthews212]

Good comments. I have nothing to say now 😳

Awww. I love that Boy has a new favorite spot...and the cow!!

What a lot of clever storage ideas! I would love for manufacturers to sit down with long term nomads and design an interior with all these everyday organizing tips. Look forward to your videos glad Doug was able to join you on the road. Thanks for the great video’s.

[@bananabradysmom]

Love everything you did! So happy you and Doug are on the road together!

[@terrybrowning3542]

So thankful those cushions turned out so good. You picked fabulous material! The rig looks wonderful and I love the charging ports.

[@mmclaughlin9715]

Yes... really love the material!

[@kiefferkeepinon828]

I love all your creative changes, including the corseted Berki, the magnetic vanity lights, the built-in nook and desk area... But, what really makes me smile is your pocket door cow. 🤩🤭😁

[@shawneeb3771]

You need to take pictures and send them to all the RV manufacturers. What a great job, and you made it so much more functional. I love that desk. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@brendenspudsbenjamin]

Your videos are so amazing!! I absolutely love what you did to your trailer!! So prefect! Keep being amazing!!🌞

[@fairpassage260]

Eric and I have been crossing paths for a few years now. We met at Van Build a few years ago, and they (Wanderboom) visited us at our Oregon compound for a month. We collaborated on an amazing cedar custom kitchen remodel on our tiny house. Eric and Robyn have been fast friends and such innovators in and around the Nomad world! Follow them through their KZbin channel and you will see some amazing things👍🌮🇲🇽🌴

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Robin! Thanks for the mention. So sorry that you also had the island collapsed. Glad you got it fixed. Your reno is GORGEOUS, by the way. Now you have given Paul and I some ideas for our 310GK. Enjoy your upgraded rig!

[@houseofcats6234]

Wow what a diff! My little Visa is all brown. So dull and after 9 years of summering in it I really want to get rid of the dreary brown. You have given me enthusiasm to change it up!

[@pattih7]

Hey, Robin! Long time since I be posted! Turning 70 this year, never got on the road; health issues! Still love watching, though! Happy you and Doug are together, and a great job on the 5th Wheeler! Beautiful! Old Guy still charming, as ever, under the nook!♥️🙏✌️

[@shellchenonceau6987]

LOVE THE WHITE INSIDE!!! light brown & tan is so 1970s...white is so clean, light & bright and modern!

[@carolynwilson5662]

Robin, I have never seen an RV Reno that I like as much as yours! So many wonderful ideas implemented at a time when the world is in a crazy mess. Thank you for sharing your fantastic ideas with all of us. You’re the best!!

[@endliarcheats2927]

The first question to pop into my mind, how did you paint with all of the dust that blows in the desert?

[@virginia_in_the_rearview]

I love all the changes. Great options for hiding wiring, and the plug-ins on the sides of the seating & desk. Big Boy looked very happy in his nook. 😻 Eric is so talented, love his channel. You and Doug have many years of happy travels ahead!

[@riverdog3038]

It looks fantastic!!! Can't wait for your "how to paint" video. Now that I've seen what you've done I want to get started on mine, but I'll wait to hear about your lessons learned. Thanks Robin

[@thewunder-lusters9644]

Heh, yeah I'm going to wait for that video too. :)

[@Seastorm-nh8cv]

Love this transformation! You and Doug have extraordinary talent and taste.💜💚

[@maggiefletcherscuriouscelt4199]

The place is stunning! I dont care what decorators or paint companies say...white walls just make a home beautiful. Beautiful choices. Looking forward to the detailed How To videos! Kudos!

[@NomadicRamblersAdventures]

Nice job ! RV manufacturers are still under the old idea that dark colors hide dirt. 😅 We renovated a vintage 1970 holiday rambler . When doing the inside I told my husband it had to be white because it makes it look bigger. But, not only that, if a spider or something gets in here I can see it. 😅 we are so happy that Doug finally is with you. Y’all stay safe and happy. Tell Wonderboom we said hello.

[@limingunicorn]

I wish rv manufacturers would do color schemes like this instead of us having to reno to get there. This turned out beautifully! I love it! Can't wait until the day I can afford to get out on the road!

[@dorisshanks7295]

I looks amazing! I love the work space and the new cushion fabric! I wanted to paint all the light oak cabinets in my 2000 Bounder 36S Class A coach but it was too much for me at my age. Instead I removed all the window valances and side pieces, ordered new white wood blinds to replace the old brown blinds. Painted all the walls light gray in the living room/kitchen area. Painted the walls light aqua in the bedroom and bathroom. I used peal and stick in shades of turquoise mosaic tile for the backsplash in the bathroom and the kitchen. The one cabinet I did paint was the base and upper cabinet on the center wall. I painted it black and it looked like an accent furniture piece. Stunning! New faucets, new vinyl flooring and a few other changes gave the whole coach a new look.

[@janebrown3587]

Holy Cow - this is SPECTACULAR! Light, bright, airy, spacious and clean looking. :)

[@susandunaway8290]

Wow! Love the reno on the rig! So bright and happy,...just like you! Girl, you look fantastic, you look happy, and life looks great. Congratulations!

[@JustAGalOnTheGo]

You’re right, what a difference the paint makes, it looks like a different place! Well done. My favorite thing was your super long drawers with the little front cubbies under your bench seating...and the kitty cubby! 👍

[@4poshponies995]

Your reno is FABULOUS! White is so much nicer than all dark and I love your organization ideas.

[@sylviawong9844]

So glad Doug has joined you and help rehab the RV to help both of you work more effieciently and to make more user friendly for your needs, wishing both of you happiness, Love, Light & Peace

[@yayaglass]

So many great ideas! Can't wait to see the How-To's. So happy for you! I'll head to Wanderboom and check out his vid. Happy Travels!

[@johngolding336]

Fell out of my chair when I saw the cow slide out and look. 😂. 👍🏼. I’ve been “Birding” from the start. Great mods!

[@chrisr.1803]

Your rig looks fantastic! I can’t wait for the paint video! I have a 2000 Pleasure Way van and I’d like to paint the wood inside white also. Thank you Robin and Doug!

[@vigatroiano447]

I screamed out of excitement when you opened up your shoe storage! What a wonderful idea! Love it! Thank you for sharing! 💜💜

[@chick-a-bee-farm]

Hey Girl - Love the lighter and brighter paint you have done. When I was looking for a replacement for our hybrid trailer, having white cabinets was at the top of my list. I REALLY wanted a light and bright trailer and not the dark and depressing type that we had walked over and over again at the new RV lots. I truly despise all the brown. It almost created a marriage Armageddon..., so, yes, LOVE the lighter and brighter look you have made your own. It is such a happier place to be. 😊

[@susanm9078]

Awesome renovations. Perfect time too, with Doug now fulltime with you! You explained the why for each upgrade!

[@laureldreinking]

You have always seemed truly happy, but now you have ratched it up another notch.

[@r.c.7762]

It looks beautiful. I bet having Doug with you is reassuring when traveling, it is nice to have someone you love with you.

[@marcireale]

Oh. My. Gosh. Every little thing got better and better! I had to watch it twice.

[@barbaraventura2732]

Love the renovation. The white makes such a difference. I had to laugh when you were talking about Big Boy eating veggies and peppers! I never had a cat eat unusual things until my current cat-l can’t leave a loaf of bread or buns out or she will chew through the plastic wrap and eat it. Also can’t leave the lid off of a container of butter because she will lick it! Love our fur babies 🐈‍⬛💕

[@terrizseleczky9794]

Wow! Now we know what was happening when you went radio silent. It looks beautiful and so functional and most importantly it is you AND Doug! Well done and safe travels!

[@leeta56]

I've been renovating my house myself and its been going on three years. SMH. Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Such a great feeling.

Robin!! OMG how beautiful!!!! What a difference the white paint makes. I bet you're so glad you did this! I needed a pick-me-up, still 2 years away from living MY dream and am sooo glad I saw this. I look forward to your painting video. While I'm having fun painting and getting my house ready for the market, I will need to know what you found out. Thanks for being such a great inspiration to all of us. Congrats to your honey and safe and happy travels to you both!

Everything looks amazing great job everyone who pitched in! 😀 💖 Favorite things the wood on the desk & the huge dinette with the colorful fun fabric! And Big Boy's new chilling spot! So nice and brighter with the white paint! 😀 💖

[@jackieadams5458]

This is spectacular!!!! Isn’t is amazing how our rigs come off the assembly line!!? The cabinet above our heads in the front of our class A actually fell as we were driving!! Thankfully it was gradual and we noticed it..used spring rods to hold it up...scary!!! Love your reno!!!

[@jim.h]

I think it's fair to say that their quality slogan isn't "Quality is job 1". Maybe it's "Quantity is job 1, and let's just hope it lasts 1 day beyond the warranty."

[@TF856]

I like your dry erase method and also your US map on the wall. I remember back in the '70s that some RVs came with the map installed on the dinette table, of course it was covered with a clear coat so you could plan out your trips without messing up the map from spillage. I would like to do this with my next RV. It's criminal that even the more expensive RVs are not built any better than the cheap ones. They just look nicer but fall apart just as quickly.

[@tdhawk167]

Wow, huge job! Must be so wonderful to have it custom for you both! So much more bright and user friendly... how freeing and calming it must be! Congratulations! Love those (as my Sis would say) "Co-mooze"! The one on the back of the bathroom door... So great! And the Berkey holder..Lol! All the best to you both💕

[@Mamma-Tex]

I’m so happy u painted. I loved how white & feminine your first RV was and was sad that your upgrades left you with dark cabinets. Yay!!!!

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

I love the way you brightened the RV up!! What a huge difference!! And sooo modern. Two thumbs up!

[@joanmcerlean7158]

Your new place looks AMAZING! I mean really great. I watch all the remodeling videos I can (RVs, homes etc) and yours is right up there. Wow. You took all the ugly brown rv out of it and made it gorgeous, unique functional and chic. Woohoo for you and your crew!

[@ceciliapetrowsky2572]

WOW! I saw the Property Brothers doing that wood treatment but theirs was a lot darker. Yours is perfect! I absolutely LOVE IT! It's so wonderful to know handy people.

[@kayci2058]

Great Job Robin (and Doug)! I am mostly concerned about the added weight to the slides. Most people dont think about it. But all those larger, seemingly unusable spaces are designed for pillows and bed coverings for the sofa sleeper. and the table and chairs were really light compared to a heavy desk -papers and books. Its is awesome, but I do encourage you and anyone thinking about doing any RENO, to get weighed at truck stop to make sure you are not overweight or heaven forbid back heavy. At slower speeds it might not be noticable. It will however be very dangerous downhill or if it should get windy and start a fishtale. I have been following others who got a toy hauler to fill up with stuff, they were 400lbs overweight. The manufacturers will tell you that you CAN NOT fill up all the space just because its there. These are designed for travel, not living in. They work great for full time, but be careful about actually filling. (also when weighing, have fresh water full- as it weighs 8lbs per gallon. same with fuel if it has a tank that you use, fuel (gas) weighs about 7lbs/gallon and of course propane.) Best of luck to you both and big boy. Looks great, comfy, cozy and user friendly.

[@BlueSky-ff4oy]

Want to see more of Big Boy enjoying his apartment. So glad he scored too!!!!

[@Birdbike719]

[@thizizliz]

Yes, the brightness is really pretty and all organizational additions are awesome. I HATE cords! Hiding them is also a safety issue - no tripping or tangling. Now its a etter for 2.

Especially the outlet pucks, corsets for Burky, and bathroom lights!!! Btw, thx for the links as I want those lights!! I'm a solo traveler with some physical disabilities but would like to see detailed info on projects that can be completed without help. I've done a number of minor tedious projects such as painting, changing faucets, cupboard handles and window shades ect but would like to see how to secure furniture for traveling down the road and hiding those cords, etc. I've been a fan from beginning.

[@annanirathsi1111]

10:03, the black also frames the outside better, if they were white it would not let those amazing views come through as vibrant and picturesque. I love your channel and I don't even own an RV but you do such a great job of bringing your viewers right into your world. Your previous life in corporate America seems to have made you especially adept at communicating with your audience here on KZbin and I bet this is way more rewarding than going into an office everyday!

[@tamo9520]

Boy! You guys did a heck of a lot of work! And it looks "Fantabulous"! I understand how exhausted you ended up being! But Boy! It sure is all worth it in the end! That feeling of accomplishment is something else, isn't it?

[@BlueSky-ff4oy]

Wow! so happy to hear about your personal and RV changes. Very glad that you have someone to share the joys but also the work of the large 5th wheel with! ( i was concerned initially since 5thwheels seem like a 2-person job in the long run). Looking forward to the paint and reno info. Really love getting a peak into how you spend your time. How fortuitous to have been plonked right with the ideal people to solve all those challenges!

Thanks for this! We are about to buy a new RV, which I want to immediately renovate with regular furniture etc. My hesitant hubby just watched this and said “wow!” To me that was interpreted as a resounding YES to everything I have planned! Looking forward to the information on PAINT. THANKS!

[@jim.h]

NEVER buy a "new" RV. Get one that's a couple years old and have had all the problems addressed. Everyone that I've know that has bought a new RV as had problems. One guy heard water from behind the shower when he tried to use it. It turns out that the shower pipe wasn't even hooked up to the valve. Months later he got his RV back and was able to use it once that year.
