Vintage RV Renovation - Completely Rebuilding Overhead Cab Sleeping Area 😴 (Ep. 2)

It’s Part 2 of renovations on our vintage RV and while it’s been pretty stressful, I think we’re finally getting the hang of things! 😅😂 It might have taken us way longer than planned, but we managed to get most of the overhead cab (aka our future bedroom) framed out with beautiful, rot-free wood! Overall, we’re pretty proud of ourselves with how it’s turned out so far. 😍

It feels like we’re finally starting to get somewhere with this RV restoration! *Watch more RV videos here* 🎥 kzbin.info/aero/PL29AtJe_IGx_hb6wCY5-xyznc0A74vO7M

[@SindyJ37]

Luv your channel!!! You guys are fun to hang out with :)

[@qigongmood]

You are so good at building! That framing is fantastic! Love watching you! /Sara in Sweden 😊

[@Oddsoulandthesound]

Love this, love seeing the journey

[@marianneshepherd6286]

Loving your renovation videos! X

[@xwasp58]

Great job . Are you giving the camper van a re-spray. it would look good with a fresh coat of paint

[@flysky6248]

It’s amazing how every KZbin couples travelers channels is doing and rebuilding their new vans.

[@geowillia6325]

Fly Sky yes Eamon and Bec,Trent and Allie are building a new little house too!

[@goldsteinist]

I would have build installation so the car would be winter proof.

[@alanholck7995]

For the exterior aluminum what you really want are rivets, not staples. Rivets can go through the existing holes while staples will make 2 new holes. Less holes are always better.

[@margaretdavis1874]

I think staples will rust too.

[@CeilidhGood]

Stainless steel rivets would be the best.

[@milcotto4153]

Ask Coachmen how you can do it properly.

[@listay1]

Yes to rivets!

[@tombeilman5579]

Never tried rivets into wood , I used galavanized staples into pressure treated wood, I had to rebuild the overhead on a coachman also

[@davidh0809]

The front overhang window? Get some aluminum and cover that hole up! I wish I would have done that on mine! That window takes road debris and high wind and always leaked or broke. At some point, most Class C builders just stopped putting windows there! Cover it up and move on.....

[@bryanjohnson8162]

Agreed!!

[@CeilidhGood]

Darn good point! No need for a window there at all.

[@thereidss]

I was saying that during the video. The window is angled perfectly for ultimate failure. A new piece of metal and and some matching paint will make future inevitable leaks not possible.

[@debsym62]

I was thinking the same, cover it.

[@BeyondYourDoorstep]

Ahhh fingers crossed the bad weather clears up soon! Such a massive journey guys, loving watching the progress! 🙌

[@BucketListTravellers]

So satisfying when all the old trash is taken away 😀 It's coming along nicely!

[@eddieh1530]

My dad just hated those covers. Inside humidity is always a big problem when you RV. Fun story and thank you.

[@elmo319]

Endless adventure seems like an endless budget and hard work! Love these videos 👍

[@UnpackingtheTrunkCostumes]

I love these videos, you two! It's like "This Old RV" (as in "This Old House"). You're learning so much and you're doing a great job! Stick with it!

Was just watching an old vlog then this popped up yay!!!! My whole family loves watching you guys.

[@charlenecarnes8139]

You have gave me the confidence I need to start on my 88 ford Econoline. Saving all winter to start in the spring. Watching all ur old videos for loads of help😊ty so much for sharing ❤❤❤

Get well soon!

[@sherryschumacher1881]

Hope you are better soon!

[@smtpgirl]

meganhodges, too bad they didn't wear masks in the store where they bought the pneumatic stapler. Not positive at all. Sad that they both wore masks during the demo, but NOT going out in public. BTW, the snowflakes that responded to my post - Did any of you go to the BOK Center on Saturday in Tulsa? BAAAAHHHAAAHHHAA

[@danieledwards3376]

1:58 Try not to stand directly behind the wood you're pushing through a table saw!

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

Use a pusher stick always...

[@alanholck7995]

That too

[@TT-zd6nr]

Good advice. I remember the bruise I picked up when one half of the piece I sawed came straight back at me .

[@abstractbybrian]

Yes! Google/KZbin tablesaw kickback and UNDERSTAND THIS!

[@robthomas7392]

"Watch yourself on that table saw! She'll kick back on ya. HEY. (holds up a hand with a finger missing) I'm not Effing around here!" Tim Allen bit about a shop class teacher.

[@AuntBecky1]

Great Job!!! I am so glad that you gave a shot of the progress inside too. Looking forward to new videos!

[@winniepoohbear8916]

You have officially invested into a money pit! However, life is an adventure!! Enjoy the fruits of your labor!👏

[@zz44ppppp]

Agreed. Fair enough if they were going to restore it, but looks like they are just renovating it. They probably think it's just like doing up an old home. It's going to be a disaster

[@GothicRockGoddess]

The thing I like about you guys is that you're really positive about fixing this RV up, sorting the rotten wood, old sealant etc etc. So many resto projects I've seen have made it look so hard and frustrating to do this sort of work. You guys are just powering through it with such a positive attitude, it's lovely. :-)

[@alberttsoi]

these are great videos. watching you two remodeling the RV, learning what can be done. Thank you

[@animado85]

Loving your new videos. Very different from what we’re used to. Thank you for taking us along your new journey. Keep them coming!

[@kimberlypuravida5690]

Love watching these videos. I love seeing old things recycled and cleaned up!

What a lot of work you guys put into it so far, you have my admiration!😍 Can't wait till it's all done ☺️ and watch your continuing Adventures🏕️🚙

[@TheBoatFamilyxx]

Can't wait! Loving this reno! It's brilliant watching it unfold. Roll on pt3 🥰

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

I'm happy you two were able to pivot and continue living the adventure. I'm loving the RV renovation and look forward to all your travel adventures here in the states.

[@caroledowney6908]

You are good in the wood shop! Cannot wait to see the finished product!

[@GenialHarryGrout]

You could just block off the front window, if you can find matching aluminum. It is a sleeping area so you don't need a window, but if you do go for a replacement window, to stop it leaking in the future make sure you seal it, seal it again and seal it one more time just to be sure. When you're driving that area gets all the weather thrown at it.

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Genial Harry Grout gotta have a window up there...if I absolutely had to sleep up there a window is a must. Just thinking about it shoots my claustrophobia sky high.

[@rundms323]

@@Elizabeth-rq1vi Def a claustrophobia potential without the window. My husband wants to remove.. no no no

[@cachristsd]

My RV has a front window, and I would be more than willing to eliminate that front window and just use the two side vents.

[@erniethecampervan3885]

Ok I just want to hang out with you guys, and be friends!! You guys are so positive, and happy!

[@CraigTulloch]

Can’t wait to see the finished result. It’s looking good so far and I’m genuinely impressed by the work you’ve pout in.

It’s great watching the progress, you’re doing a really good job, can’t wait until it’s finished I bet it will be amazing xx

I have been watching you guys for a long time now and I must say that it has been very entertaining. Your travel and food experiences have been very enjoyable and informative to watch. To be able to travel and enjoy the hospitality that other countries have to offer is a wonderful thing. If you ever find yourself back in Wales please drop me a line. I would love to show you some of the sites that my little corner of Wales has to offer. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing the RV completion. Stay safe and well.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks so much for the message and offer, Dyllan! We definitely hope to get back to Wales soon 🙌

[@steveleonard1227]

New framing looks great. Pocket holes are the way to go. Used same technique to fix water damage to frame on a truck camper.

[@JandS1503]
