We bought an RV | Renovating a 2005 Fleetwood Utah pop up camper | How to repair a popup camper

[@RoseOriginals]

Our second popup was a 2005 Fleetwood Bayside and we used to go camping with the kids every other month. We had it garage kept for 10 years and it looked like new when we sold it. I literally cried when I saw it driving away. We have such fond memories of that popup!

You can rip out proprietary curtain rod and install any u-shape or cafe rods, allowing simple rod pocket black out and sheer curtain use. Blackstone griddles are awesome.

[@v02max75]

Hey guys, love the videos! I just watched your 10 tips and tricks for pop up camping and it was great. One more hack I've got for you is to freeze a case of water bottles(with water in, obviously) and now you have ice AND fresh water AND nothing leaks, even in a shitty cooler. I don't do ice ever anymore, just frozen water bottles. You can get a case from Costco for like $15. The added benefit in the end is that you can re use the bottles multiple times. Enjoy camping!!

[@mariaanalum2712]

Sew new curtain on the strip of old curtain material with clips

[@Oldsalt68]

Funny how it is as you get older your idea of camping changes, when our kids were young we did pop-ups and laughed at those who had generators and A/C etc. now they are grown and we just traded our Winnebago for a Cougar 5th wheel, with plenty of bells and whistles! Also we are Floridians.

[@jimmhb1986]

I had a pop up tent trailer that periodically got mold spots on the tip outs. This is nearly impossible to avoid because you are bound to leave any campsite with some organic material on the canvas. Because your trailer is closed for travel and storage that organic material will begin to breakdown and cause mold. Canvas is very difficult to clean because it can be damaged by almost any cleaner except soap and water. That’s where the hydrogen peroxide comes in. Simply open up your trailer on a warm day or even at the campsite before you set up the beds etc. Mist straight hydrogen peroxide onto the canvas wherever you see dark mold. Don’t rub the canvas because you want to keep that material strong. Let the hydrogen peroxide dry and reapply as necessary until all those little mold spots are gone. This will not damage the fabric and will remove all the mold before you have a really big problem. I did this for over a decade on my tent trailer and never had a hole or weak fabric as a result. Just really white clean canvas. I hope this helps someone. I searched for years to find a safe product that works without damaging that canvas. Great video. Oh. I also use it straight on white baseball hats that get sweat stained. Does a great job.

[@wendywilson1736]

Good to know! Thank you!!

[@kailakottwitz2737]

Thank you! That helps tremendously

[@goldiehebrew4ever404]

Yes Thank you! I heard Zep was good for mold so I bought it and used it on my canvas, with no luck it did nothing :( Thanks again I will be trying this.

[@candyalexander2196]

Wow what fun this is if u like popup u will adore travel trailers.. glamping

[@arta2870]

I used oxiclean and hot water on the water wood mix stain. They seal on the AC is the culprit for water leaks. Seal is no good and you also have to snug down the four bolts on the ac to tighten it down. I bought a 2007 Fleetwood Niagara and I had the same problem. I soaked the curtains for two days and washed them with gian soap and oxiclean on delicate setting and warm water. It cleaned up real good. I also did the same thing on your video for the roof. Now I just need to do the canvas

[@rotorbeam1]

If your using the table as part of the bed, you can increase your travelling storage by laying it upside down, this will give you more storage under it.

[@jacuhub9933]

You guys did an amazing job! I’m really happy for you guys. I plan on doing this exact same thing within the next year and travel the country. Thank you guys for the motivation

[@AdventuresinPopUps]

Nice job. I appreciate seeing how other people keep their curtains on! We have a 2008 Fleetwood and the curtains have slowly been popping off the C clips. Eventually we want to replace them all anyway.

Great remodeling work,great color selection love the birds, but why oh why would you go camping in summer here in Florida we are campers but never from June 1 through October,too hot and wet,we live in Vero Beach Florida,we made the mistake of going to the keys one July ,we were tent camping and miserable the whole time, you should try long point in Sebastian great camping park we used to go every spring break when all of our friends kids were out of school for one week,you can get sites right on the river

[@2KrazyKampers]

We're trying to get out as much as possible. One thing is for sure, we wont be doing any dry camping during the summer (unless we have a generator). We're definitely going to look at Long point, thanks for the tip

[@kimberlylankford2624]

I was given a 97 jayco popup but it will need the roof rebuilt and I can't get the top to go up so I don't know what kind of water damage it has but from what I can see the cabinets look good and I have no idea what shape the canvas is but hopefully I will be able to fix it up. I like the idea of the velcro on the curtains it will be easier to take off to wash and thank you for sharing what you used for mildew remover I might have to use that also, thanks for sharing

[@christohawke6372]

Nice job ed on the camper. I was disappointed because I wanted to learn some tricks that would benefit me for when I work on my pop-up. For example, in the opening shots there was ugly stained canvas and moments later, beautiful canvas. Then the floor has a ton of overspray, then woola, new floor. And how did the leaks get fixed. I think your camper looks great in the end and I hope you have many good camping trips in the future.

[@2KrazyKampers]

We cleaned the cavas with this. As we said in the video, we bought vinyl plank flooring and replaced the old.

Oxiclean and gain soap is what I used. I soaked the curtains for two days and then washed them with gian soap and oxiclean on delicate setting and warm water. It cleaned up real good. Now I just need to do the canvas. I have a 2007 Fleetwood Niagara and the ac was the culprit. Seal between ac and roof leaked. Do not dry them in dryer. Hang them on the line.

How do you know if your wood in the frame of the roof is good? If it leaked if would be wet and rotting?

[@2KrazyKampers]

It's because of the colder weather. You can try heating it up a little with a blow dryer. Don't use a heat gun because you could melt the plastic if you're not careful

[@stever6986]

What did you use to get the mildew stains out of the canvas? I have some minor spotting/staining from not airing mine out in time after it was put away slightly wet from rain, so nothing like you were dealing with, but I'd like to clean them up but haven't been sure what to use. Also, I have a pop-up with the same curtain clips, which my kids ripped off goofing around at night on a camping trip when they were little. I just took them down (and stored them for years) because they were just the curtains between the sleeping bunks and the main area. Last summer I came across them, and I found a local dry cleaner that worked with a seamstress that had a sewing machine capable of sewing them back on (apparently it's not a huge deal to sewing thru the plastic if you know what you're doing...which I don't, when it comes to sewing). I had them reattached to nearly two full curtain panels and they charged me $20...well worth it!

Pop ups usually retain their value! Never a bad idea to have one especially one that gets sold with renovations. It’s nice that they’re so doable to fix up and repair. They’re also small enough to maintain. In the end, you can get good money for them. I adore pop ups and my husband thinks I’m strange because of it. We will be renovating one that we are buying from my sister and brother in law, this spring! I’m just too excited!
