Mom is the star of this video--she is a workaholic, she deserves special recognition and some extra love for her effort! All the kids pitched in too, and that is what I was impressed with--you've got an excellent family! You are all very blessed!
She did a great job .. thank you
Perfectly said👊
Strength in family,s thatsawesome
@@randyberg5264yup, I love the combo. the whole family vibes make me feel all warm & fuzzy inside, lol.

The reason I started watching your channel is because of this type of content. Love the way you and the kids and your wife work together. Keep it up
Thank you
Anytime bud. Thanx for keeping the channel interesting.....
A buytl seam sealer in rope packs make better water protection. See 3m auto catalog
Big props to mom. She's a total hard worker 😜
Yes she is
Yes she works her xxx off🤣
Seriously, that gal was up to her elbows in nasty - she deserves a reward... im'a thinkin a new pair of crocs might cover it.
@@Sleeperdude hi 👋
@@Sleeperdude very good fixing
When I’m feeling down or blue, I watch these videos because they make me laugh and make me happy.
So glad we can help
Your family's ingenuity is incredible.Watching you interact with your kids and wife tells me I was a lousy dad. All I ever did was take all the overtime that Kodak would offer and in the end it cost me my marriage I think. Just keep loving your family and keep them close to have a wonderful life.
Man that stinks I guess hindsight is 20/20 they say . Thanks for watching
I worked up to never less than 80 to 120 hr a week for two years straight after 30 yrs was casually told my Job was being phased out to clear out my office that same day and see you later ! I was a fool to be a company man 😂 SleeperDude has learned to put family as his first priority applaud him ever so Much ✔️💯👍
I have Netflix, Prime, Britbox and Acorn TV, but your Vlogs are more entertaining and interesting than 95% of what's on them. This was a blast to watch (without the explosions). Nicely done. Two thumbs up!
Thank you 😊
This stuff is pretty educational
I agree 1000%
Words can’t describe how well this has come out! So much work and sweat equity for one video, this is why I love your channel. Really shows that you can bring anything back from a worse state. Looking forward to seeing more videos on the camper and with the family!
Thank you so much
Sweat equity for sure!!! You-all were making me sweat just watching. Really nice to see Squeezy (sp?) seems to have found her niche in this old car hobby. Every family member pulling together....it's a beautiful thing, even if the relative humidity is drenchingly high! And may I say, the girls have the best bed in the house....I love the loft with all those windows....magical. My husband and I lived in a tiny camper while building our house and I got the loft bed....wouldn't have traded it for anything! Where is Ralphie gonna sleep? A fun video all around...good work everybody!
Hope youall have fun in it soon!!
exactly. same here. what a huge effort to make such a good roof transformation.
Wonderful hardworking parents raising wonderful hardworking children - well done, mum and dad! Beautiful Family!!! 👍
Thank you we are trying
What a awesome family. I was happy to see y'all working together. God Bless y'all.
Thank you
Our Veterans thoroughly enjoyed this video!! We have now added 5 more to our audience. Several have joined your channel and binge watched all the videos. Keep up the amazing job. You are an inspiration as a Dad! And Mama has new fans in our three female Vets who have convinced all that women can do whatever a man can!
That’s awesome … I’m so glad you guys and gals are enjoying them.
Best video yet! Even squezzy rocked it like a boss! The amount of work you guys did was monumental! This video had it all. Demolition, painting, plumbing. HVAC and carpentry! Props to the whole Sleeperdude crew!
Thank you
Got to love how the entire family is involved. This is so special - they'll all have this memory how they worked together as a family and worked to a common result. You can't replace memories like this. Family project and nicely done as well!
Thank you
I know if I would of gotten one in this condition I would of been left alone to do all the work I did buy one and it was in really good condition I did live in it for a while but sold it cause I couldn't afford to fix it anymore it's always nice to have a hard working family
You're doing an amazing job and the camper looks great!! Total respect for the valuable lessons you are teaching your kids about hard work. Bravo !!!
Thank you
Very impressed with all the hard work that the whole family put into this RV! Great job guys!
Thank you
Wow guys, that turned out great. I think everyone loves watching you guys work together like this. I know you will have a great vacation when you finally get out on the road. Awesome job guys. Thanks for posting.
Thank you
Awesome!
It's great to see the whole family work together to complete this renovation. It teaches the kids teamwork and they are learning to fix things on their own.
That’s true. Kids don’t do enough hands on learning anymore
I really enjoyed the video guys .
It's awesome to see you do jobs like this with all the family involved .
I think you all deserve a rest after all that hard work 🙂
Yes I think your right
Just love seeing the family work ethic! Y'all rule. A comment on the generator fuel supply; the pickup in the tank is at the 1/4 tank level so you can't run the MH out of gas. You might try connecting the gas pump when the tank is full.
Ok thank you will do
My husband and I love watching your videos! You guys are wonderful parents and are instilling great values in your children! We have a travel trailer and enjoying camping. We love how you all are working together to renovate this camper. I hope that you will vlog your first camping trip so we can all go along with you! May God richly bless your family!!! 🥰
Thank you
Honestly, all of you are a joy to watch. I love seeing your whole family putting in a labor of love to breathe this camper back to life.
Thank you I am blessed
Amazing job. It's great that everyone is helping.
Yes it took the whole crew
@@Sleeperdude loved it......come to Louisiana sometimes.....I'd restripe it .....and please don't sell the Stude
Those are hard to find!!!
@@clevelandmaker386 So excellent of you to make that offer!!
@@whammond511 ha,......ha.........it's so funny I forgot to give a........bout what your saying
Wow you guys did an amazing amount of work to that RV. Glad to see everyone pitched in on the project to get it done. Always great to see your videos.
Thanks so much
hey ROCKY HAD his tail in the mix toooo!!!!!
I loved this video because I like seeing the whole family. That looks like a totally different RV. You need to do like cousin Eddie did in Christmas Vacation and stand out in a robe emptying the toilet tank. I'd love that. You guys are great! Love this channel.
That would be awesome
This is hands down the best RV redo I have ever seen @ youre family is not only awesome but blessed ! I love the goat 🐐 Father knows best and momma is hard worker.
The more I watch your content the more I get to know and love your whole family
Even "rocky"
It's so cool that your lovely wife and kids get so involved with your projects
Loving the RV restoration
One of the best TH-cam producers on here as far as I'm concerned
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication
Thank you so much
I agree! I’ve watched a lot of TH-cam videos about RV renovations and this is the best. I learned a lot and smiled a lot.
You guys did a great job. Mom, what a hard worker. Love the channel. Keep up the good work. Great job kids.
Thank you
Great job on rv. Its great to see family working together. You dont see that much anymore. Be proud of what your doing. Will be watching for next video. Thank you from northwest arkansas
Thank you
…It’s good how the whole family is helping on this project…. More families need to be like this.
Thank you I am blessed
You ALL put in a tremendous amount of elbow grease on this one, but STILL managed to make it look like FUN! Good luck with it, and I hope you all get to enjoy it a LOT!!!
Thank you
The family vibe is strong 💪
I am blessed
Really enjoyed seeing you and the family doing your thing... y'all busted your butts off and should be proud 👏
Yes for sure thank you
I love how You and your wife have taught your children to work. You don’t see that much in this day and time. Great family unity
Y’all bring me and my wife so much joy and entertainment thank you so much what a great video y’all busted your tails on this one and love the fact that your so good with your hands Josh I admire that a lot can’t wait for the next one God bless!
Thank you so much
Your so welcome brother
Awesome job you guys! Great team work by the whole family. Love the videos and can't wait to see you guys on the road in the in the finished camper. God bless you all!
Thank you so much
We love that you guys work together as a family. Funny video watching all y’all work and transform the RV camper. It looks really good now! Love the animals too. Can’t wait until the lights come in. Best channel on you tube hands down 🙌
Thanks so much
hey sleeper dude when you did those patches on the roof you should have used polyurethane caulk rather than the latex it works better
The rigs getting so much better and the Family dynamics is just fantastic. The effort by the kids is great.
Thank you
Hola querida familia. me encantó verlos trabajar arduamente y ver cómo quedó de bonita su casa rodante. Les envío un saludo desde Zipaquirá cundinamarca Colombia.
It's great to see the whole family pulling together to get projects done.
Yes thank you
The Sleeperdude crew out did themselves on this build. I was shocked at how much work was involved. Great job!
Yes crazy amount of work
I love it! I have a 1978 class c jamboree. It was my Dads and he was killed in a car accident in 2001. My mom gave it to me, It’s been sitting since after I had to towed 4 hours away to my home. I am ready to fix her up and get her started and running and redo like y’all did. I pray I can do all the work it needs. This is the one I camped in as a kid. Thank you for posting this because I feel like it is possible now where before I had no idea I really appreciate your video. It will be very helpful. I hope to see many more.
Glad you enjoyed it.
@@Sleeperdudeimh
Me and my wife sold our home and we live in our motorhome full-time we host campgrounds and historical sites all over the United States were currently in Oregon. RVing is a tough gig at times but well worth it for our front yard view different every time we stay somewhere
That’s awesome
New subscriber, loved the video and the fact it's a family doing a project together : ) I have a used class A motor home i purchased last year and love working on it ( mostly upgrades ) as the coach was well taken care of. you asked if you did anything wrong? Nope if you fixed it and it works you did it right : ) and the family all helped that is a plus : ) My kids are all grown so mine is more of a keep me busy project. What you and your family have done together will be long lasting memories for all of you. Keep us posted on the progress and thanks for sharing your family with us for some of us it really makes our day to see family time in this messed up world.. Have a great day.
Thank you
1:00:50 But it looks already like night and day difference! the progress y'all have made is really awesome. congrats on this absolute beauty, with double-ac, generator and all water sorted. so happy for you guys!
Thanks so much
I love that this is a family project. Great family memories.
Thank you so much
Congrats to Mom for all her hard work on this One.. this is one of my favorites so far.. love watching you and your family... God bless..
Thank you
Wow! What an amazing family project. Everyone deserves a big round of congratulations for all the hard work and a really nice outcome! Can’t wait for the next chapter in the Motorhome saga!
Thank you so much
6:49 I would recommend for you to grease the AC motor. If it was stuck it could very well mean it was almost out of lubricant. And it will increase the motors lifespan by a lot!
Ok thank you
They're sealed - nothing to oil.
@@ScottDLR Even if sealed it will run dry. Trust me, had found many that are sealed and are dry.
@@ScottDLR Oh and it's even more likely when it's in the elements, granted the roof does help but it still will happen way faster
@@aleksandersats9577 Yes, they're all dry. It uses an iron shaft turning on iron bushings. You could oil them but it will just sling itself out.
How am I so proud of a family I've never meet.
That’s awesome thank you
Wow what a team, the RV looks great love the content, some easy to follow simple ways of turning it around with eldow grease and willing hands. Hope it serves you guys well raising my RC cola 🍻 😊👍
Thank you 😊
Love this video series with the camper. I really like how your family is so engaged in working on projects!! Keep the great videos coming. God bless!! And poor one out for your homies!
Thank you . Yes can’t forget the homies
Great family show. Your kids are getting so much from you two and your hands on parenting. A great example of how to loving your children.
Thank you
The renovation success of this campervan was because the family worked together from start to finish. Wonderful!
You're wife is everything I aspire to be. She just gets on with things and gets it done! What a lovely family you guys are ❤ Love from Wales, UK 🇬🇧 🏴
Thank you so much
I Love how you include the kids in all aspects of the renovation! Learning life lessons! And, of course, Rocky is there too! Thanks for the great videos and keep it up. Time for Adventure!
I love how the kids want to be involved!
Thank you
Amazing! Such a pleasure to see whole family working hard and together! Great job!!
Thanks so much
Great renovation....nice update to give more comfort in this RV...and the big engine when Josh gets through with it should be extremely solid for a long trip...love them Viennas and R ah Cee Colers...:) God is good!
Your entire family's got charisma in spades, and everyone's a cheerful laborer to boot! Perhaps most entertaining is the random humor strewn throughout, especially the self-effacing variety. The restoration's not bad either ;-)
Thank you so much
I stumbled on this channel about a month ago after watching Vgg, Puddin, and Mortske for the last few years and I’ve been hooked. Great job, great videos and great people here. Keep up the good work and thank y’all for the content!
Thank you
Good job guys. It's nice to see that your whole family was involved I have four daughters and when my wife wanted to remodel the houseboat my daughter's disappeared everyday so I am going to sit them down and make them watch this whole video and show them this is what families do God bless all of you.
That’s awesome thank you
I really enjoyed watching this family 😊great job guys
Thank you so much 🤗
Love seeing the whole family taking part. Great job you guys!
Thank you
Great video! You all were very gutsy climbing up on top of that roof, especially after seeing the way it was sagging! Love seeing the whole family chip in too.
Yeah we were kinda surprised we didn’t fall through
17:24 - Dicor self leveling lap sealant is used around items protruding through the roof. It will not stick to silicone however. Keep that in mind.
Ok thanks for letting me know
Yeah caulking won’t last on a roof. Dicor Lapp seal.
So glad you took that huge heavy air cooler off ,there are less heavy ones on the market these days I’m writing this and you will probably put it back up lol😊
You guys were so much fun to watch rehab this RV. You ALL worked hard to get this turned out like new. Mom was a killer on getting stuff done. Dad and Ralphie we're a work machine .
Inside outside the were there to tackle it. The girls we a indispensable team for all the interior work ... I have never seen a family work this hard TOGETHER for a reward like this. You guys are AMAZING! 🇺🇸👍
Thank you
Awesome teamwork from a Awesome family. Love the RV stuff, but I had to have a trailer ready to go. Life is better at the campground. Stay safe y'all! 🙏
Thank you
This family is beautiful , you can feel the love they have for each other and respect 🥰 and the animals are entertaining as well 😂
Thank you I am blessed
I don't know how I stumble upon your channel, but I was binge watching yesterday. That's not something I do too often. I really enjoy how well put the videos are🤙
Thank you so much we appreciate it
Y’all knocked this video out of the ball park! Really enjoyed watching your family come together to redo this RV. Sleeperdude you are a blessed man to have a great family like this !
Thank you . Your right I am very blessed
Camper is looking good. I'd get a tub of Flex seal paste to seal the roof to keep it from leaking.
Yeah we probably should
We just found your channel. Your whole family is so precious! Mom and the kids were so impressive! I can’t believe y’all know how to do all of that stuff!❤
Thank you so much!!
I think it's awesome how you include and teach your kids. Treating kids like they have a brain and are competent is what we need more of these days. Blessings to you and yours. Love your animals. You are such a beautiful family
Amazing job, makes me miss my old RV, I never got the chance to truly repair mine but I feel like I'm right there with y'all, does your rig have a working propane water heater or is it electric? Either way love the video Josh and family, the generator mod was my favorite part!
Thank you, I tried to fix the water heater but never got it to work even after replacing the control panel
@@Sleeperdude thanks for the reply, and yea, that was an issue I had with my old rig, what I did was just install a temporary bypass in the hot and cold lines that went to it initially, and removed the unit all together, I had an idea to use like black rubber hoses on the hot side and then get a small holding tank (even one of those 5g water bottles that are used with a water cooler) wrap that in insulation and such to hold the hot water gathered then run one of the lights to a second 12v pump to the shower so you can have hot water on demand
@@Sleeperdude I also suspect it may have been an Atwood model as those are notorious for failing a lot
Amazing job on the remodel of the RV. Really cool seeing the whole family contribute. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching
You guys have the best work ethics I've ever seen on TH-cam. Great family . Your kids are going to be Rock Stars 🌟 🤩
In hope so
I have to tell you. I'm a 62 year old woman who has truly enjoyed watching your video. Your family reminds me of mine. Daddy, Mother, me and my little brother. We did something like this, several time. When you brought the welder out, I had tears. You are teaching your kids something they will use in their future. Daddy showed us how to do so much of the same thing. We used to go to Santa Clara mountains close to Santa Fe, New Mexico. I highly recommend it. We'd camp out for 1 to 2 weeks, every year. Thank you so much for sharing your family and your projects. Again brought back many sweet memories of my family. I've lost all 3 members, so this is very special to me.
Great video and information. Your kids are learning valuable knowledge on these projects. I had a 92' Ford four winds for about 10 yrs. It was 29' with a stainless steel top. Thanks for sharing. ♥️
Thank you I appreciate it
My first time viewing this site. I had fun watching this renovation of RV with the family team work. Mom and Dad are really teaching kids how to getter done, so you can go out and have fun.
And the family goat doing his part too, what a crew!
Thank you
I’m in the middle of a similar rehab to an 86 Chevy RV. It’s great seeing the whole family pitching in. Mom deserves a new set of crocs!
That’s awesome thank you
I love how the kids pitched in and helped big time. You have a right to be very proud of your family...Happy Camping!!!
Thank you I am blessed
WOW!!! What a transformation! One thing I can say is that NONE of you are afraid to work and invest the time and effort to get what you want accomplished. This old girl really came back to life! Such persistence and great family times working together. Really great content and video!
Thank you I am blessed
Wow just found your channel because of the RV demo, and i must say... if everybody in the world was as good of parents as yall, the world would be a much better place...you guys are amazing.. i think im gonna love this channel....cant wait to go campin....
Wow thank you !!!
My sentiments, exactly! No more wars! Just get an RV and work on it!! LOL!
Really proud of you guys.....what a close knit family and everyone so actively engaged in the project. Keep going, Best wishes...
Thank you I am blessed
Sneezy is a hard worker when she gets the right job!
Your right
Sorry squeeze spell check did it to me! Everybody spells mine wrong too!
Good family working together ❤❤❤
Thank you
Found your channel for this RV series. I’m obsessed! Love your family. Some good, clean entertainment here. Got yourself a new subbie! 🙋🏾
Thank you 😊
Great work guys! Just a suggestion but it would be an idea to run some sealer of some sort between your joints in the panelling, that will stop excess moisture getting behind them (condensation).
Ok good idea thank you
@@Sleeperdude
With all due respect. Don’t caulk between the paneling. You need a path for water/ vapor to escape, no more rot building up behind the paneling.
Just my thought.
Great job. Love that the kids are super involved.
Might want to take a fin comb to your ac unit to help keep it cool..looked pretty flat in spots.
@@timothyhill4630 that wasn't caulk, it was adhesive.
@@timothyhill4630 With all due respect sir; if you leave a path for moisture to get in; THEN you have to leave a path for it to get out.
The original manufacturer did everything they could to make those panels watertight from both sides. Replicating that now with their repairs and renovations is just as important now as it was when it was built. I agree with the Commenter who said to seal it up.
Great job everyone. Your family is so funny. I enjoyed watching you work together. And I learned a lot. Happy Holidays!
such an AMAZING FAMILY VIDEO...I can't wait to see you and the family having a great time camping and relaxing in this project making memories is what it's all about
Thank you
As Vice Grip Garage would say, you have a real goin to town rig there. You and your entire family did an awesome job, and I am sure that you will enjoy it more because you fixed everything and brought it to life. Hard sweaty work has its rewards. Great job guys.
Thank you
Buddy you're really good at what you do camper looks amazing I would take it to Norris dam or pigeon forge can't wait for the next one
Thank you
@35:08 don't forget to replace that exhaust fan. You ALL did an awesome job on the camper!! What a cool way to share family time!
Ok thank you I’m glad you liked it
Totally amazing job!!! I used to be in the R/V repair business it is a very grueling job, I used to work in the summer in 98 degree weather and inside the units it was brutal!! Roof repair and sealing is a major major major job!!!!!!
You all did a fantastic job especially Mom and the family!!!!!! Your plumbing and carpentry skills are not too bad either Lol
Thank you so much
Your family is amazing! Great video. Please keep the series coming. I can’t wait to see you camping in this motor home with the whole family. Greetings from New Brunswick, Canada!😀🇨🇦
Thank you
You guys all worked hard to knock that out. Well done!!! Awesome to see the whole family so involved. Enjoy
Thank you I appreciate it
The music was perfect for this vid. i love this as it was more like a documentary than a YT vid.
I’ve found that self leveling RTV works about the best for an RV roof. It “puddles” to fill in the gaps. Most RV supply stores carry it
Ok thanks
@@Sleeperdude use Dicor self leveling sealant or another rv specific roof sealant. Everything else will crack and eventually fail.
I have to agree with gym shoe; this family is impressive! The team spirit among ya'll shines through. Loving parents who encourage their children,
by regularly complementing their individual efforts. Asking them their opinions on different things. And, it's
plainly apparent by the kids' attitudes,
that what you're doing is working! They're learning to be self confident and capable in doing anything they put their minds to... Good going mom and dad! Because of this, I subscribed to your channel after only watching two episodes; and smashed the like botton
as well!
Thank you we really so appreciate it
I love your videos and rehab work. Normal, functional, and budget friendly .... perfect for us "Average Joe's"
Definitely gives me and my teacher friends some insight on our next project! Thank you and keep them coming.
Thank you I appreciate it
Amazing how the family working together Godbless you guys
