[@Pronovicera]

It's a gorgeous home

[@lizsteeds6697]

Wow ... wow ... wow. What a transformation. God the original RV designers really produce absolute tat don't they. The factory iteration was truly awful ... the faux lazy boy seats, the hideous and cheap looking cabinetry in a lovely shade of bilious ginger, the suburban psuedo-colonial beigeness of it all (gag) ... but what a transformation. This woman has a great eye and great taste ... a wonderful light filled beachy-vibe home done on a shoestring.

[@learningaswegocitygonecoun6805]

One of the best 5th wheel renovations I have seen!

[@raybran7865]

I totally agree! Its beautiful!

[@moonbaby8743]

I love how they made it so homey and learned great tips. Cute couple. The photos and video of them interacting really made this a story, not a home tour.

[@empress.l.e.tra5904]

They should rent out 4 extra cash luxury living

[@samrocks1498]

Same, totally agree! I've watch hundreds if not 1k+ videos, what a beautifully decorated home, would not guessed it was a RV. You can move the entire home to just about anywhere he is stationed.

[@poly1973ful]

This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things kzbin.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

[@tommynikon2283]

I hate RVs, their tacky interiors, etc. That said, I LOVE the design of this one. Perhaps Shelby should consider another career?! She's got the touch.

[@empress.l.e.tra5904]

Tommy Nikon reading this if she doesn't know now she knows

[@CGZ26]

I just wanna say 3 things: 1. The renovation was incredible, it looks so great and comfortable. 2. Rooster looks like a chill and cool dude, Shelby is gorgeous, absolutely breath taking. I wish them a really happy life. 3. Thanks Jenna for another wonderful video. Greetings from Argentina.

[@kavami11jams30]

" oh i don't see much changing after we have the baby. We've adjusted before i don't see much difference". Lol yea...Sure, nothing change at all. Girl, that baby's going to rock your world!!! In a good way and in a challenging way. Just be as prepared as you can be bc babies are a lot of work and you learn to be deeply selfless. But you forget all about that bc they're precious and they're fun and they're all yours. It will actually be the best time of your life! We hope you never go back to living conventionally no matter what anyone says. We'll see you out there! We live on the road too but my kids are grown. Hope to run into you guys; happy trails!

[@lilyrosesoul0077]

I agree - a baby will make space more important - they may need a bigger rv i feel. Babies need room to move around & the cat needs a high vertical space to hide from baby at times i think.

[@natalies1306]

Yeah, exactly how do you teach with a baby in such a small space? Day care i guess?

[@HayleyTief]

Such a beautiful renovation. Looks like really usable space. I like that they are thinking ahead too as needs shift. I also appreciate what Shelby said about the relationship struggles military couples face. I'm not in a relationship like that myself but I have friends who are, and have watched as they had to shift back to living together full time. It's definitely a side of things you don't usually see. Good luck in the future guys!

[@GratefulGlamper]

A movable tiny living is especially perfect for those who can put up with constant location transfers or those who prefer to work at home. The functional spaces and rustic, bohemian-vibe plus DIY approach to their house aesthetics are also a creative outlet that we can inspire to and learn from.

[@SuzyQ2022]

What a sweet couple. They did a beautiful job renovating the RV. It looks much better inside than many actual "stick" homes I've seen. When their baby arrives and as it gets old enough (large enough) to need a larger sleeping space, they can convert their "daybed" area into a bedroom for their child. All they would need to do is put up a privacy curtain that can be drawn shut for the child's privacy. I've see numerous families create sleeping/bedroom areas for their children in buses by building bunk beds along the wall of a bus, then creating the child's private space by installing privacy curtains for each child. It's like their own little cubby. so cute and the kids seem to love their own little private space. There are so many families living full time on the road with their children. They homeschool the children, the children get hands on learning on the road, seeing places they would never see if living in a "conventional" home. The children seem very happy and well adjusted the whole family seems happy and well adjusted. Most of us American have farrrrr more than we need. The more I see of happy families living minimally on the road, the more I realize that most of us would probably be much happier if we didn't feel the need to work so hard to buy things we really don't need. Happy Travels to this sweet little family!!! :)

[@Windkisssed]

I’m curious how they secure everything when they move the RV.....open shelving is beautiful but is challenging to keep things from falling out.... Very nice abode! Thanks!!

[@LilMissKilla22]

Windkisssed I was wondering the same! Such a gorgeous interior though.

[@tinasally379]

Was thinking the SAME thing!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AlexisChateau]

I've been thinking that through the whole video. I figured someone else had to be asking the same question! 😅 That's way too much packing and stacking and then unpacking for every move for me.

[@YourMajesty143]

I think they're stationary, and only move if he gets called to tour elsewhere. Otherwise, most people glue magnets to the bottoms of everything.

[@empress.l.e.tra5904]

Good point & realistic

what a unique way to keep your marriage together...all newly married military couples should do this,,would help with the divorce issue and keep, as you said your marriage routed ! Great job !!!

Thank you for your military service young man and your wife for her sacrifice to be without u periodically! It’s tough for military families to be apart! Thank God today u have the internet and cell phones to keep in touch ! It was totally different 20-30 years ago when I was in the military. God bless u both, I know u will have a beautiful baby! Very smart to have a job to work at home remotely! 👏🏾👏🏾💕💝

They are so in love. I don't know when I last saw a couple that is SO in love.

[@Trrrot]

Yeah,, I wish them the best,, but cannot imagine living like this with a baby,., God Bless them!

[@kavami11jams30]

My sentiments exactly!

[@MyHealingShelf]

It's not that bad. When my boys were babies (learned the hard way why birth control isn't 100% effective for every woman), we were so poor, we lived in a tiny studio and made it work. Everyone seems surprised at how much even babies don't need! 20 years later, they are amazing adults and still have those values of living with less. 😊

[@markdavis2475]

Very nice! IMO your RV styling is now more European, light, airy, good use of space. European RVs and Caravans, as we call them in the UK, are much lighter inside and I think make better use of space. Small fridges, microwaves etc are commonly used. I’ve been living in my small space for over 3 years and I love it! Wood burner is essential for our wet Winters😀 Well done again and good luck for the future!
