We remodeled a 20 year old RV | Full motorhome renovation start to finish

[@holiday1]

I don't understand why people ruin motorhomes like this, horrible.

[@WilderAdventures]

Had to pin this one!

[@HappyCampingMom]

You have obviously never owned a very old motorhome.

[@holiday1]

Actually remodel them for a living. The correct way would have been to replace the wall boards not paint them as they manufacture the wall board in 4x8 sheets with the patterns of your choice already on the wall board. @@HappyCampingMom

@@holiday1 If they're living in the bleeding thing, then i reckon they can deck it out any sodding way they want, mister. It's very easy on here, for people to "put their oar in". We're all learning, even you, charlie.

[@ericaterrones16]

Little Henry said” you can try again dad! You can always try again!” Omg I just died! He’s soo freaking sweet!!!!! Good job mama and dada!

[@WilderAdventures]

That is my favorite moment caught on camera of this entire adventure so far ❤️-Casey

[@1Seriouslyserious]

Henry is so encouraging: “You can try again, dad, you can always try again!” ❤❤❤❤

[@WilderAdventures]

Hi guys! Thanks for watching with us!

[@whenmountainsmove]

Theres hardly any videos like this from complete start to finish. 90 percent of the camper remodel videos are a couple talking talking talking with minimal clips showing hardly any detail of HOW they did it. I realize it takes a ton of work to make a video like this but it's called hustling. You all have the real hustle! Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to show us your process.

[@rachellesperance9321]

Ya, she has a man that's a handyman. I'd like to see videos of a single woman doing these kinds of videos, alone

[@t.c.3027]

Amen, cause I would be too busy thinking & working to record step by step instructions, editing & so forth!

[@rickross199]

So you've watched "retro revivals" stand around doing nothing hour upon hour too 🙄🤣😴🤦

[@normascritzky2938]

My husband and I have rebuilt our GMC motorhome twice over twenty years and I have enjoyed watching you two work together like most couples can not.

[@donnahague8983]

I love that your little one is helping… the Pride they feel helping is beautiful…

[@maryreed4534]

I just happened upon your video. I figured that it would be a before and after kind of thing, without actually showing what went into it. When I realized that you were going to show each project, I thought I would get bored, but decided I would just fast forward, if my ADD kicked in. I loved this whole video. You guys did an amazing job! I thought it was so great, that it was a family project, and even your adorable son, was there to give Dad pep talks! It turned out so nice. Well done! I don't know how you guys learned how to do all of the stuff you did, but you were brave enough to go for it, and skilled enough to make it work. Thanks for sharing the transformation, really great job!

[@WilderAdventures]

Thank you for watching, it’s so nice to hear when people appreciate all the work we put into the build and documenting it all!

[@deborahstone9696]

Love everything you guys did😂..nice to see your son has a doll. Lol my son is 31 now and he named his daughter..the dolls name.❤❤love and huggs from Canada 🍁 ​@@WilderAdventures

[@vivianbunch1963]

I love how you included little Henry in the remodel.

[@hoopaholicstickum]

Yo…. Silicon calking tip…. Lay the bead, with a smaller paint brush, lightly brush the bead and 90 angle with a mix of water and a touch of liquid dish soap. Now drag (NOT YOUR FINGER) a calking scraper along the bead, wiping off the load when needed. THEN dip your finger tips in the soapy water and lightly rub along the calked corner… it smooth and shines it out. This is a tip I learned 25 years ago when I moved to Germany… since shared it with all my family and friends in the states and they are frickin‘ amazed…. So easy… perfect calking EVERYTIME.

[@keekers]

Henry's assistance and encouragement are definitely invaluable.

[@matthewwilson5336]

Those words "You can always try again dad" has got to be the most powerful words in the English language and resonates with me in ways I could never explain. Thank you for the awesome content and for those powerful words of wisdom

I can tell your son will be a real cool guy. Thank you for sharing your RV journey.

[@Daves_drh-acrylic-creations]

Congratulations on the rapid growth over the past year since this dropped! We are just getting ready to become full time RVers and have so much to learn but this video helped me to become fearless! Thank you so much!

[@tracybeetem3824]

I love watching your family, Henry is the sweetest little man.

[@WilderAdventures]

“You can always try again dad” is my favorite moment of this entire KZbin adventure so far -Casey

[@divaregister7368]

I am in awe of your husband's skills. I've always loved woodworking and tools. You have skills also esp. with your sewing and painting.. Your son will grow up knowing the tools of the trade from you both. I'm so excited that you cared to share with those that have the same ideas of converting RV's/campers... Luv the fact you're enjoying your trips as a family with more adventures in your future... Good luck to you and in your new home! ❤

[@WilderAdventures]

Thank you!

[@lotuslodgespa3167]

I came across this video for the rv renovations but to see your jeep wrangler at the end … talk about icing on the cake!!! I rv AND have a jeep wrangler!!! Loving the life! Can’t wait to watch your other videos! You both are very handy! I’m a DIY’er as much as I can too. If I can’t do it myself, I at least want to be hands on!! Enjoy your travels and safe journeys. Henry is one lucky little boy to be on all those adventures. Better than any school can teach!! (That coming from a former teacher!!) I’ve always said .. no book, no test will ever compare to the life lessons you experience!!! 🌸💕

[@WilderAdventures]

Oh how fun that we have so much in common! Thank you for the kind words! - Paige

[@katbot2190]

Looks really good. You have one smart little guy there. I loved when your son was talking to you under the rv. He is adorable.

[@dellapowers6019]

I'm always on KZbin searching for Van life or RV life. Came across your RV build and was very impressed! You now have a new RV, not a 20 something RV. 👍

[@WilderAdventures]

It definitely feels a lot newer! Thanks!

[@andiavery3753]

Y’all were so nice with how you talked to each other ❤ this is so much work but you guys did it and stayed kind. That’s amazing.

[@WilderAdventures]

We may have had an argument or two off camera, but for the most part we love working on the rv together! Thanks for watching!

[@OneMinuteSewing]

Love the cushion covers, what a bargain make over on them!! If you put a layer of dacron batting over the foam it will fill them out better and make them look snugger. It's so great you are letting your son help and join in, what a great memory for him.

[@WilderAdventures]

Thank you! I will look in to adding some batting - that is a great idea!! - Paige

[@williamsneedjr4129]

YOU BOTH have done a great job on the remodeling project

[@rrain3375]

From Canada this was fun to watch. I know people who own RV’s but what you did to your home was wonderful to watch. Love your little guy too. Soooooo cute.

[@WilderAdventures]

Thanks so much! - Paige

[@susanverbeek8379]

wow we just bought an old motor home today and we have 29 days to gut and reno. I feel overwhelmed just watching, however optimistic. It is a lot of work! You guys did a great job so talented. Very inspiring.

[@WilderAdventures]

I think our first round took us about six weeks, but it was all nights and weekends.

[@haroldfisher2256]

Great video guys. Keep making those memories. At 62 it's hard to do the work that your doing but love watching you and your wife working together and building memories. We will keep watching if you keep building.

[@monunyabidness5949]

You guys really reimagined and updated that interior. It looks more modern and fresh than the dated 80s interior it had before. I know someone who used to work in an RV factory. For how expensive they are, RVs are POORLY made. Same with many mobile homes.

[@OverlandOne]

Wow, you guys did a ton of work to that RV. It is 100% better now. I hope you can enjoy it for a long time. Safe travels.

[@HappyCampingMom]

We have a 2000 32' R-Vision Condor - Also on a Workhorse chassis. They were obviously made with the same parts and much of our floor plan is the same as yours. We also spent the pandemic making ours livable. Fun watching what you've done with it. We've made several of the same fixes.

[@jamesrobinson9304]

I just love your family. I hope Henry grows up with the same enthusiasm as his parents.

[@WilderAdventures]

Thank you!

[@juanitakauffman6336]

[@johnmcgraw3568]

It's awesome to see an actor like Zack Galifianakis take time to do something so "blue collar" and exceptional like rebuilding an old rv with his family to spend time with them. Wish more people were like this cherished actor.

[@bradh74]

Glad you're good to one another. That's great to see a family raising a child. Not sure I'll ever sleep in a tent in bear country, I'm too chicken even if they're afraid of us. Good luck, God Bless.

good on you for transforming an old motorhome into soemthing that works for you all....well done

It's a fantastic rig. We're downsizing to a van these days and mentally preparing to sell this RV to someone who can see how great it is too. - Paige

[@CONTAINERMAN68]

It's really cool to see what other people are doing. See how talented or skilled someone is at building or doing their passion. Plus, it may come in handy later in my life if I choose to renovate an RV, a Jeep, a van or turn an old ambulance into my dream camper conversion or build a camper from an old straight box highway tractor. Tour the country in an RV Toter with a traveling HO scale model train layout in a Feather Lite racing trailer, with a double glide out from both sides of the trailer. The Ultimate Dream RV Camper!

You both, plus the little guy, did a fantastic job! So cool to watch your progress. My only suggestion is to put either an aluminum or plain (non-painted) kickboard along the bottom of wherever you bump with your feet, especially the entrance door stair area where the paint is already coming off the cabinet. Just a thought.

[@WilderAdventures]

Thanks! Great idea!

Great video! Thanks for sharing and really liked your innovative remodeling ideas!!!

[@WilderAdventures]

Thanks!

[@ljprep6250]

Lotsa good remodeling work there, folks. Henry, I strongly advise you to do two things right now. First, start wearing an actual respirator (not bandana) with 2 filters when doing woodwork and rug removal. (Your wife and son need you.) Second, use protective devices on wiring. Rubber grommets are fine for the 12v work, but use metal cable clamps on the 120v wiring into metal boxes. Otherwise, as you're going down the bumpy road one day, it will short out and keel you all. Sharp metal edges + Romex + bumps = disaster. It's just a matter of time. Sorry for the lecture from an old man, but you seem like good folks. Anyway, great video. Paige, that electric sky blue dress is gorgeous.

[@WilderAdventures]

Thanks for the tips!

[@halwainerdi7718]

Great work but don’t forget clamp connectors for wire coming out of box. Sharp edges will rub the wire when moving.

[@WilderAdventures]

Yes! Thank you!
