My RV remodel on a budget before & after - see the whole transformation!!

[@itsolkingcol]

This is one of the most encouraging RV/5th wheel transformation vids I've come across. So many seem pretty unattainable, this made me feel like my husband and I really will be able to make simple changes in our future 5th wheel home to make it really comfortable and more modern looking without breaking the bank.

[@pinktink_fairy]

My thoughts exactly frugal and simple !

[@stacyhopster-filippi3120]

I feel the same! Very well made, just what we all needed! ❤

I have to move into one also. The Canadian housing market doesn’t exist, and I’ve been scammed for my entire savings and renovicted from my current home.

I don’t have an RV, just watched this for entertainment. I have to tell you how impressed I am with your talent and abilities! The finished product is absolutely beautiful! I am in awe of all the hard work you do.

[@thediymommy]

Thank you so much!!

[@lorithrower2467]

We did a very similar DIY in our fifth wheel and I swear I smile every single time I walk in the door. I did the bottom cupboards and entertainment section black but white everywhere else. It was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding makeovers I've ever done. Now on rainy or cold days, I don't mind at all heading inside what I use to call the “cave”, now my happy place. You did an amazing job, congratulations. 😁

[@brendaokuda2158]

Amazing! I was wondering why you left the bathroom counter original instead of putting more marble contact paper down.....especially since the sink was replaced. You made all of this look so easy & professional. And the results are stunning! Thank you for sharing.

[@thediymommy]

Thank you! I ended up liking how the flecks of green in the counter looked with the green paint.

We were gifted an RV motorhome that is 25 years old, 73,000 miles, with great bones and motor, etc. It too is dated from the oak, mauve and brass era and we just started reno yesterday! I also watched your previous RV reno too. Thanks so much for the inspiration. enjoy your channel!

We used the same products and process to paint our entire 5th wheel over 2yrs ago and it is holding up great. No issues with paint....very happy. Great video!

Finally a RV reno that REALLY gives all the steps necessary for painting cabinets! Excited to see more RV organization and decorating videos in your new RV ! We own a 2019 28' toy hauler without slides that we use 2-3 weekends a month on average. My husband rides/races a dirt bike so we spend lots of weekends at MX tracks. I've been working on personalizing outta for 2 years. We bought a B&W checkered flag outdoor RV mat and I was originally going to decorate with lodge/cabin decor but decided to go B&W rustic farmhouse instead. It's so neutral that my husband doesn't feel like it's too girly and I use yellow, hints of red and blues to brighten it up. I've removed the heavy (ugly) valances and added curtain rods with curtains (softened and warmed it up so much)! I've added peel and stick tiles in the bathroom and B&W check wallpaper to several dark walls in the main area BUT still have decided on what to do for the wall over my sink and stovetop. I've purchased several options but can't decide. There is a window so there's actually very little wall space but it needs something...especially over the stovetop. Maybe even a 20×16 framed print since I only cook outdoorsnor use electric appliances. Also since it's such a small space the wood colored cabinets and 3 doors still make it feel so "cave-like". I love that color of wood for furniture in my home but didn't realize how overwhelming it would be in our RV. I know some people remove the doors but I have over the door hooks and organizers that are essential and we have guests throughout the day so we need the doors (1 for bathroom, 1 for bedroom, 1 for pantry). And they are ALL on 1 side of the camper. Now I'm trying to get up the nerve and find the time to paint. We live in north FL so the heat and humidity lasts most of the year. We also don't have anywhere to keep our RV hooked up to electric so that's another issue considering the humidity and time it takes to let each coat dry/cure. . I've been tempted to cover the doors in wallpaper but think the B&W checkered pattern would be too much even though the doors fall in between the wallpapered walls. Maybe a solid black or white? The floors are similar to yours so I've even considered a light gray barnwood wallpaper but afraid the texture next to to checkered wallpaper would be too much! I wish I could share photos so all of you could see my dilemma

[@chocolate-eq6jn]

You've done a fantastic job! This is one of the best DIY RV remodels I 've seen in quite a while. It 's an inspiration for some soon-to-be retirees, my husband and myself. But folks, here's the thing: Do it before you hit 60. Or maybe even 55. After 60, you'll really have to plan differently and go slowly , so you won't tire out!

[@donnabacon4681]

I concur! Never thought I wouldn't want to do Reno's like I once did!!! I'm 67, & I am just stunned how I just do not want to do anything!! AUGH!!

[@twilightsdawningpalladino9997]

This looks amazing! I'm not a fan of the dark green, but you and hubby love it, so that's all that matters. I was shocked to hear that all of this gorgeousness was done for less than $2,000!! My daughter and I just bought a class A motorhome and, after we get the mechanical issues fixed, we are planning to renovate the interior. I've saved this video and will subscribe to your channel as soon as I get done posting this comment. Thank you so much for a great how-to video without tons of "fluff" that would make it annoyingly tedious to watch 💗

[@Skolgirl60]

When you painted the cabinets, did you do the inside of them as well or just the outside? Everything looks fabulous!!

[@lorithrower2467]

You may be all done by now but Pinterest has tons of makeover ideas.

So happy you mentioned the winters and temperature change! I was so nervous about that. Thankyou so much!

Wow, your camper is beautiful! I really like the bold dark green look; it brings a lot of character to your space and you have enough white in the room so the dark color doesn't overpower it. Thanks for sharing your journey!

We have a beloved family member who is going through a life-changing event. We're going to offer to do something similar for our loved one and their child, and park it directly on our property. We may build a deck, planters, and fenced yard, and ask them where they'd like it (near our home or by one of our stock ponds). Prayerfully, they will feel loved, wanted, and safe.

Beautifully done! I hate RVs but seeing yours I would get in one and travel. Also loved how you broke down the cost of doing this. Most just want to say they did it cheap and used old stuff they had but I loved that u mentioned that but still added the costs so we can gauge how much. And then again with furniture or not. And the upcycle..👌 very helpful.

[@theawesomecatmom8315]

One place I highly recommend checking for simple flooring, rugs, paint etc is Ollie's if there is one in your area. They usually have odds and ends and some regular name product(s) overstock so you can get a lot for cheaper sometimes

I had a 07 Jayco 5th wheel 1 foot shorter, no bunk room. But a bigger main cabin and much better configured bedroom. Our shower is also in the bedroom, along with the sink, has a glass door (whole bathroom part has a plastic curtain thing in a track to separate from the bedroom) and feels the bedrm just feels more spacious. LOVE the water closet for the toilet! Even as tiny as it was, it’s an ingenious idea. We had same wood and fleur di lis decor lol and I thought alot of turning the entertainment ctr into more kitchen counter but as we lived in it, we needed room for the IP, etc; not a coffee bar. But the bar idea is wonderful too! We had our table down the center as my only counter space plus ate at it. I do like the huge back window better and we put our couch back there so the whole main cabin was open (for us to fill with stuff of course-2 teens). Such fun watching u redo something so similar to ours! It was my dream to redo ours but living in it n redoing is not possible. Sadly I learned this. There will be a next time tho, and a (Jayco) 5th wheel will be it again!

The color of the wood was so beautiful and natural. In addition, when camping, we can compromise a little and not observe strict cleanliness like at home.... The white improvement reminds me of a surgical operating room and that I'm afraid to bring a little clay from the forest on my shoes. I don't like it one bit. We have a similar 5th wheel camper and we really enjoy it decorated the way we bought it.
