Vintage camper renovation 1969 Winnebago

This is a walk around of our 1969 vintage Winnebago camper restoration which took us about 12 months to do. There are a lot of step by step videos on our Instagram . It’s a 100% ground up restoration of our own style , That we designed specifically for our needs that we’re going to enjoy … keep in mind as we use the camper and see a need for something we might not have we can always customize and add it later or if we don’t see a need for something we’ve built in we can remove and use the space… Being creative with these little campers is part of the fun.

It looks great. Me personally I would rather have a bath room vs open concept JMO

[@The_Heights]

Jason Wulff i feel ya we us a compost toilet 🚽 when needed but again this was built for our wants and needs 👍🏼

[@hopewatson9636]

Yeah same I like having a little private bathroom

[@acowgirlwithbees3726]

So many places have nicer and nicer public baths so this can work for folks. I like having a bath for safety (if traveling alone) but man, look at their space!!! Love it. Nice job you guys.

[@bikinggal1]

@@hopewatson9636 I'm not comfortable taking a shit with my partner in the same room!! bahaha

[@mutajen3695]

The whole camper can turn into a bathroom 🤣🤣 can take a bath in the sink lol just kick everyone out

[@wrylife57]

Great job. I LOVE your decision to open the space up, it's so airy and unique. I also like how you saved money where possible, nothing wrong with stained and sealed plywood.

[@The_Heights]

Thanks i appreciate it

[@chrisdunn3235]

It's everything you need in a really cool package! Awesome job!!

[@The_Heights]

Yes! Thank you!

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

Gorgeous Exactly what we’d all like to have

[@MonicaElleRose]

ive seen a thousand remodel videos and this is the first one ive ever seen with a kitchen on the front side, this looks so awesome and super inspirational. amazing video :D

[@The_Heights]

Thanks ! It was fun to build 😀

[@codelicious6590]

I just had to stop by and say how flicking cool it is that you painted the propane bottle the same Winne stripes! So clean and crisp. Great job and holy crap what a helluva lot of work!!

[@debrakaiser200]

Beautiful and inspiring...thanks for sharing🧡

[@MickiClick1]

You did a great job, I like the layout and decor.

[@americanrambler4972]

I like what you have done with this trailer. I agree with your desire to not cut holes in the roof. No hole, no seam, and no leaks! I also like not having the ac on the roof for 2 reasons. It lowers roof height and clearance. Plus it flat out looks better. Another benefit is it drops the frontal area by between 1 and 2 square feet. That makes a difference for aerodynamic drag. I also like that you do not have a big space gobbled up for a bathroom.

[@MichaelSmith-cz4go]

The counter space is incredibly awesome. That's what I'm liking

[@northwoodsmanbybobolink336]

Nice open concept. This is a first especially for the size! I like the air conditioner setup also! 👍

[@showerdancer]

Very nice. The fridge is awesome, good idea for the AC. I would rather have had a indoor bathroom than a portable toilet, though.

[@SpongeAddict-gw6mo]

Perfect great job and ideas. I would throw the cushion off that small bench and make that a table and storage thing there. As far as a toilet you can have an emergency bucket with toilet seat lol

[@nebraskagirl5661]

You did a great job , and did it the way you wanted it done. I really like the gold touches and all the decorations you and your wife did. Have fun on all your camping trips to come.

[@The_Heights]

Thanks i Appreciate it

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

How incredible to take out the bathroom and I think you said table. It gives you so much more room. You’ll love it !!! 🌙

[@MegKampen]

But you need a bathroom! Its a necessity. I can't believe they are taking showers in the sink with four people. Where are they going to the bathroom? I know the perfect place where they could have put a shower and a toilet inside and still be able to sleep 4.

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

@@MegKampen , I’ve been camping for 64 years and the bathroom, shower and toilet to me aren’t important. Storage is much more important so I have all the things at hand that I need to survive. I can use many other objects for a bathroom, and go to a gym for a shower. To each their own.

[@perrythorvig6446]

Well planned and done. You should be proud of your camper.

[@delonteshanks369]

💯

[@lindagoulder8934]

The rebuild on this Winnebago looks great, great job.

[@Jonbass777]

Kudos to you for the seemingly huge undertaking on this renovation! Nice Job!

[@GraphicDesignerStephen]

I really like how you dealt with the air conditioner.

[@lrfox49]

Love the closet under the bed, and the kitchen and decor, great job!

[@kathleenrutherford733]

FANTASTIC!! LOVE IT!! You guys are extremely talented, such a beautiful home away from home

[@timfisher1376]

Wow I love what you've done with this camper!! And i love the air conditioner idea!!

[@jimtomassetti4817]

You guy's have done a awesome job beautiful. Please not criticizing.....I would have kept the bath Room. Just that it's nice to have your own BR. Love the vintage Fridge..... I wish you both many happy safe Travel's Thank You For the awesome Tour!😊

[@juliescott1504]

This is awesome and what great craftsmanship in your redo. Love the retro interior to match exterior. To think I was 14 when this was made lol

[@joanstrzelec4302]

Wow you sure were brave to take on that project. You did a great job love it.

[@juanitavaldez1907]

This is one of my favorite rebuilds. Great Job. I could travel with this setup!

[@jimtomassetti8928]

You such a professional Job.you have every thing you need. You have a brand new home away from home! Wishing you and your wife many years of happy camping..Be Safe!!

[@georgetorres8834]

GREAT JOB!!! I love the kitchen in the front. Beautiful job 👍

[@The_Heights]

Thanks so much!

[@mizell99]

Thank you for sharing. It is great to see what others have done to get ideas for our Shasta renovation.

[@The_Heights]

Nice 👍🏼 I’m finishing up a Shasta currently, i have a few videos in the channel

[@kellyjohnson3617]

Love it. I lived in a travel trailer for many years. Mine was a smidge bigger so had an open living room kitchen, with bath and bedroom in the back. Yours is so charming. After living in the prowler I really appreciate trailer remodels. Looks really fun. Reminds me of my youth in the 70s

[@tallblonde1976]

When you put up the 'before ' I was like OH NO! That would have made me run! It looks awesome now.

[@The_Heights]

Yea i felt the same way trust me lol

[@ekrwy2]

Out of all the vintage camper remodels on KZbin, this by far is the best one

[@whammond511]

Nicely thought out!! If that’s a chemical porta-potty I’d ditch it for a composting toilet used the same way.

[@lesterholston1091]

Beautiful build. You really put alot of work and thought into this. Thanks for the great video share.

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

I love how you did the Ac system. That ac is cheaper than camper ac system.

[@juanmauricioneira7864]

really gorgeouse camper ! Congratulations, have a nice trip!

[@donaldswink6259]

Beautiful job. Love the older campers and you did a wonderful restoration job.

[@jojoe2409]

Nice job, came out great. I sense you enjoyed "doing" the project as much as you'll enjoy using it...!

[@sajero2]

That kitchen is absolutely to die for! SO cute. Well done!

[@delonteshanks369]

I know right! I like the little retro looking fridge.💪🏾💯❤️

[@bonnienklyde918]

You did a great job on this. I love it. I could live in that. Be safe be well

[@The_Heights]

Bonnie j Hinton Thanks I appreciate it, and I agree with you we took it out for its maiden voyage a couple months ago for a long weekend and I could easily live in it… Very comfortable a lot of fun 👍🏼

[@jackmeyers40]

Thanks for the good memories of the good "ole days". My mom and dad had a 70 Santa FE trailer that looked just like that.

[@andreamurphy1126]

Awesome. Wow. I'm so Impressed. I didn't understand about No wood Frame. I would have put a larger fridge and no stove burners. For stove I would have bought the small, portable 2 burner portable stove. Then it can be stored when not in use or traveling. Plus frees up Counter space too. Good Job. Nice videography too.

[@MaureenTheTemp]

Love how you installed the air conditioning, very clever! I love the fridge, also, it's perfect!

[@The_Heights]

Thanks !

[@jkt0924]

That's absolutely awesome! Love it!

[@michaellohre1470]

Fantastic. You were really blessed to be able to do this creative and practical project. This would be a mansion to many people in this world. I encourage you to keep rolling and get the solar done. You may need these alternative and diverse sources of power down the road. God bless you and thanks for sharing.

[@supposedly1-2]

it seems like you could have gotten a trailer and started from scratch and saved time and money. but it looks nice still taking it apart wasted time since you had to do everything brand new except the siding. ofc if all you wanted was the winnebago brand name i guess you got it! You did a great job its beautiful inside and out and looks super comfy. personally i'd have to have half that for a bathroom lol but i have medical issues but this is great for normal folks!

[@jamesharvey4817]

Very nice. It is good to see young people doing good work on things that interest them.

[@The_Heights]

James Harvey thanks i appreciate it

[@kubelwagen516]

Great work, just put a folding table in the middle to become dining area, I especially like the idea that you can take a shower just outside of the kitchen.

[@michellei4507]

Amazing job, very inspiring. About to start a camper reno myself.

What a gorgeous design! It makes a small trailer look large and roomy! Great job!

[@The_Heights]

Thanks 👌🏼

[@huwkelvinmorgan3575]

I my self would definitely would have created a very small shower and cassette toilet sealed wet room and then you can use it anywhere you go as it is its just a large bedroom with a kitchen you have done a grand job on the large sink

[@delonteshanks369]

This is a great opportunity for some big time promotion. I'm a Dad first of all and I have struggled but I have always kept my head up and my girls are a big part of that motivation. Not trying to use that you know lol but I also just got a strong will to never give up. I have learned many things on my path and those lessons made me who I am today. I have always been patient and I'm happy to see others succeed or recieve a sudden blessing even when they are a"good" person but they might not be doing nothing but sitting on they ass one day and up and win the damn lottery lol. But yea I use to think the things I wanted or the day I got lucky or made a change was up to me, but it's not. So I gave it to the universe as they say and we'll when you sprinkle that with a little patience things happen "mysteriously" so yea I came up on a retro camper through an ex. I'm a tattoo artist and I have many skills. I know I can do this myself but it sure would be great to have some experienced help. I have alot of followers and things like that and my backstory on why this means so much to me is a story many people can relate to.

[@The_Heights]

Just saw the message , nice. Sure your welcome to send pics or ask questions im by no means a expert lol

[@unfinishedbusiness3164]

Looks great!!! I’m working on my2018 Starcraft Launch. Redoing it to make it nicer than they come from the factory. Kinda add a personal touch.

[@The_Heights]

[@The_Heights]

Jeanne Nemec thank you

[@delonteshanks369]

Oh and the woman I got is from is such a sweet elderly woman who lost her son and she runs a flower shop. I'm going to be helping her restore that and I can already see her life energy being restored because I am honestly here for her and she really feels that. And are signs are compatible according to one of those zodiac websites, I forget which one lol. She is an artist herself and still has that creative drive and it's amazing to be around her and here her speak about her goals and ambitions on like a glorious re-grand opening sort of thing 🤣🤣🤣 I'm like "hell yea!" Like the old guy in the back of court in the movie "Big Daddy"

[@carolabbott8254]

Your kitchen placement has given us inspiration! Now we just have to see if it can be done in ours. We inherited a 1976 Coachmen Cadet, 21 ft. Can't wait to get started! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@citytrees1752]

The bathroom in the middle that you removed, with walls running from floor to ceiling, more than likely gave the camper it's structural integrity to a large extent. Now that's gone and it's just some spindly sticks trying to hold their shape in gale force winds and bumpy roads.

[@The_Heights]

In this particular build, we used angle iron in the center, and in the ceiling in place of wood framing
