- How much does it cost to renovate a camper? I did my RV renovation on a budget, for sure. Spoiler: $1,366 haha... but there's a full breakdown in the video. The backsplash was only $26. All that kind of detail is in the video. Plus I talk about buying the camper and "haggling" the price. Lastly, I explain how many hours it took me and how I fit it into my schedule as an at-home, working parent of a toddler.
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate your following along with my camper makeover "journey" :)

My full renovated camper tour video has almost 2,000 views! Does that mean it's going viral?

Ultimately, I hope to use the renovated rv for camping with my family (of course) but ALSO for taking on trips to craft fairs for my business selling macramé plant hangers (currently just on Etsy due to the coronavirus pandemic: www.etsy.com/shop/cellarwindow). Dreaming of summer 2021…
My camper is a 2001 Thor California Tahoe Lite travel trailer - 22 feet long and 2,950 lbs.
Some of the things I used that I've been asked about...
Copper cabinet hardware: amzn.to/3ojtUP0
Kitchen faucet: amzn.to/2MtFf1O
Terrazzo wallpaper: amzn.to/39i8jC7
Wood used for counters and table: bit.ly/3qSI37i

Wanted to give an update - the total for the renovation (after fixing a few random things that came up after I made this video) is now closer to $1,800 rather than $1,366.
Thank you!

I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc.
People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
I feel that you , and others TH-camrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
I shared this with another traveler as I watched their TH-cam channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
*Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
Do your research for the best fit for you
Carry Several Extra portable phone chargers, and cables.
Consider theses items:
*Mini portable power charging station.
I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
*Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell reception,
Research to see what you prefer.
*Very Inportant:
Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating or camping situations.
*Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you.
*Mini portable vehicle battery charger-( portable vehicle battery jumper cables )
*Vehicle Jumper cables
Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly.
Exterior vehicle cameras
Interior vehicle cameras
*Flashlights or pluggin spotlights
*Portable spotlights, and lanterns
Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console
*A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies.
Use your own discretion regarding the use of any weapons.
Don’t forget to bring
Bear Spray
Pepper spray
Where is allowed
Although, I just noticed your TH-cam channel, and other similar channels.
You seem Very Aware of your surroundings and Alert, and you may be aware of many of these suggestions, however, I Don’t know, so I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions.

Keep your vehicle gas filled
Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
Keep Enjoying Yourself,
Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature

Gorgeous result!! Thank you so much for talking about $$$ 👏 Absolutely nothing tacky about transparency ❤ xo
This is super helpful! I really appreciate the breakdown of costs and hours. Yours is the first video I've seen like this. Thanks so much!
Thank you! It's what I really wanted to know when I was researching too. I wish people would talk about $$$ more! Maybe people are embarrassed that they spent so much?
Kate said it best! 💜 I know I’m a bit late but still super helpful!
Hands down Shelly this is a very detailed breakdown and your camper looks really good
Amazing video! You're right, not many people have shared the full details and it was much appreciated. Thank you. Your camper looks amazing.

Great job and a really practical video topic. My only “hmm…” moment was in your cutting the cost of the replacement parts/repairs in half to calculate your offer amount. The cost of the labor and time to replace those things (like a tub) more than covers half the value. (Probably much more in some cases.) So if it’s something you would not have had to replace, I’d the say adding the full cost of replacements is a generous calculation. Going halfsies is not necessary.
This is the video I’ve been searching for. Thank you!
really appreciate your transparency. thank you for posting! super helpful for my plans.
Love your video, explaining everything thoroughly and your personality is so great!!!❤
Thank you for the reality check.😊
What an awesome and beautiful job you have done on your travel trailer. Shelly thank you for finally calling your travel trailer, by its correct name. I see so many on youtube calling a trailer, a camper, which makes searching for vids on a camper redo a little more challenging, LOL yea I know, I am probably knitpicking. Anyway, well done.
Thank you!
This was GREAT information!
Really helpful I am looking to find an RV and remodel it myself. Thank You so much!
This helped me so much! Thanks for the video!
You did a fantastic job of Remodeling your trailer. Very cozy home. Done in good taste! Enjoy be safe!!!
Thank you so much for making this!
FABULOUS!! thank you for sharing, your extremely talented
Wow, looks beautiful. I'm impressed!
I like how u put all together good work
So helpful, thank you!
Right up front you can see the 'delamination' (the bubbling look) in the front. That's very expensive to replace and if you do it yourself....for me, no thank you.
This turned out really nice. Well done. I look forward to the big tour.
Yes I did repair it myself and it was quite the task! Would definitely try to avoid it in the future
Great job on reno! Now you need to get out and enjoy it!
Thank u so much for this!!!! New subbie my husband and I are considering buying a travel trailer but would like to purchase an older model and renovate. I can't wait to go through your channel and hopefully see how you did each renovate by step by step....feeling excited!
Holy cow! I was thinking… start on Monday and finish it on Friday😫
Yours came out beautiful and I love how you broke it all down. Awesome video🌸
You could do that if you don't paint and just do a few things for sure you could do a lot in a weekend! Depends on the camper too
You did an awesome job. I think I would like some color or maybe some pattern on the kitchen curtains. It looks really nice & I love the clean look.
Really great job.
Thanks for the cost breakdown😁
Wow, you got some great deals!
Thank you!!!
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you Thank you Thank you
Hello Shelly! Great renovation Loving your videos. . Could you please tell me where you purchased the basket/shelf combo for the bathroom and the wire storage basket hanging by the door? I've been looking for items that size for our RV too.
Thanks for the kind words Marci! Both those were from Hobby Lobby.
you are the best
You over spent on this renovation. But I love how it looks
i like the bedding do you mind sharing where you got it from?
Thrift store!
I don’t have a Menards and it is only in Kansas! I am wondering if you think using the pine board that is 3/4 of an inch would work for the counter tops. That is the only thickness we can find
I think that would work. The thicker the better!
Stupid question where is the links and how and where do you find the description where is that
👍
Hi what type of paint did you use? It looks great, enjoy 😊
I used several different kids - I think the brand is called Pittsburgh? I used Zissner primer (BONDZ on exterior and on kitchen cabinets, bullseye Zero VOC on walls).
I LOVE YOU
No solaire énergie ??
If you were to sell that renovated camper, what would be your profit?
It sold for $9,500 😃
How much god dam
You pretty 😍💘
$88 for floor?! Where!?
It was peel and stick vinyl plank from my local hardware store, Menards. I bet most places have a cheap option like it!
Get to the point. YOU’RE TALKING TOO MUCH.
