I don't understand why people ruin motorhomes like this, horrible.
Had to pin this one!
You have obviously never owned a very old motorhome.
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
followed just for this graceful and humorous response
@@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.
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!
That is my favorite moment caught on camera of this entire adventure so far ❤️-Casey
Henry is so encouraging: “You can try again, dad, you can always try again!” ❤❤❤❤
Hi guys! Thanks for watching with us!
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.
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.
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
Amen, cause I would be too busy thinking & working to record step by step instructions, editing & so forth!
So you've watched "retro revivals" stand around doing nothing hour upon hour too 🙄🤣😴🤦
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!
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!
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
I love that your little one is helping… the Pride they feel helping is beautiful…
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! ❤
Thank you!
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.
Just found your channel and I’m hooked!!! You both are so capable and talented!!! Henry is adorable! Kudos for letting him “help”. Sooo sweet! Can’t wait to see more!
Great vids. Enjoying every minute at 74, I wish I was young again!
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.
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!
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
YOU BOTH have done a great job on the remodeling project
So enjoy that you documented all this - and completely love your sweet, kind-spirited, hard-working wife. You're a lucky man!
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.
I think our first round took us about six weeks, but it was all nights and weekends.
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!!! 🌸💕
Oh how fun that we have so much in common! Thank you for the kind words! - Paige
A real pleasure to watch you both work on your RV
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.
Thank you! I will look in to adding some batting - that is a great idea!! - Paige
I love watching your family, Henry is the sweetest little man.
“You can always try again dad” is my favorite moment of this entire TH-cam adventure so far -Casey
Wow. You've blown my mind. Seriously, is there anything this man cannot do?. Fart proof fan noise is a classic. 😂 Lovely, fun, inspiring story guys. ❤️ 😊
He’s pretty phenomenal. Thanks!
We just bought this exact RV This video is priceless!! thank you for posting.
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.
Great job in renovating...huge project. I love how you let your son help out.
Love the family energy and videos, can't wait to see more
We stumbled across your channel. It was awesome watching you guys as a family remodel your RV. 😊
Your plantings are all doing so well. Love your place.
What an adorable family ❣️ Love seeing you make the dream come true, the best to you, with great, safe Adventures 🙏🏾😊💗
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.
Epic build guys! Thanks for sharing
That was fun to watch, and I don't have an RV. But I like to watch people do creative things and learn alternative solutions. Amazing all the hard work you put into it. Kudos!
It's beautiful love the family vibe working together keeps you together you guys opened my eyes to some great idealsn
This was a fun video to watch! I loved getting to see what you all have been up to. Great job!
I'm always on TH-cam 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. 👍
It definitely feels a lot newer! Thanks!
I can tell your son will be a real cool guy. Thank you for sharing your RV journey.
😎
Thank you for bringing me along your journey.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful. After lots of hard work it looks so good.
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.

HOME SCHOOL A MUST

Awesome job! Your son is such a sweetheart, and you two are awesome parents! Thanks for sharing!❤

Thanks!
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.
What a great video! That was an insane amount of work between the hands on renovations and the editing. Looking forward to watching your other videos!
Thanks for watching!
Genius.. Totally Awesome !
Y'all did a great job. beautiful family
Loved your perseverance and creative ways of doing things. Glad you’re enjoying the use of it.
Thanks so much! - Paige
Love what you're done.....hugs
You pair should be mighty proud of yourselves. Very impressive, great teamwork, massive job.
Safe travels in your 'new' RV.
Greetings from Australia. 👍
Thanks for watching, we are!
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.
I just love your family. I hope Henry grows up with the same enthusiasm as his parents.
Thank you!
Nice job Guys!
Nice job on the rebuild! Looks great!
Love HH have had it from the start. RVers that like to bone dock it’s awesome and I get so excited anytime I stop at a new location for the first time .
Great video! Nice seeing a family enjoying doing something constructive together.
Thanks! - Paige
Awesome video Great work!
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.
Excellent video. Appreciate both you and your wife's skills. Thanks.
Thanks! -Paige
Nice job, you two. You both have some mad skills.
Excellent! You gotta be Soul Mates You work perfectly together and with your helper. Good Job May The Blessings Go with You and yours always.😊
We have figured out how to do projects together and not hate each other the whole time. 😆 Definitely took some trial and error to get there though. Thank you! - Paige
Great video! Thanks for sharing and really liked your innovative remodeling ideas!!!
Thanks!
Amazing!
Congrats guys! You're an amazing team! The motorhome is fantastic! Wishing you many wonderful adventures!🎉❤
Thanks so much!
Very worthwhile project. I really enjoyed this video. Your "stick to it-iveness" is super commendable. Not easy with a career and family. Great job by all involved!
We appreciate it!
Wonderful family. May you have many adventures.
Thank you so much!
Man, you guys did an amazing job!!! We just got an older rv ourselves and, wow, we have so much work to do also. Taking inspiration from y’all. Hope we do as well. Thanks for sharing your renovations! Awesome 👏🏼
Good luck, share some updates with us as the build progresses!
Awesome!!!
I enjoyed watching your video so much! Your channel is amazing with your great renovations and fun family life. I thought I was watching an hilarious sitcom with excellent tutorials for learning how to renovate a motorhome. Paige did a great job with everything she designed and did too. You should have 100K subs! Blessings for a wonderful life!🙏🏼
Comments like this are what keep us going! Thank you for watching!
Thank you, I’m glad someone else saw the calking-job; didn’t want them to band me from suggesting a more attractive view, far neater calking method, ; but the leaks stoped, great job for taking a chance; God Bless you dude. 👍🙏🙏😁
We’re learning as we go. Thanks for watching! - Paige
Thanks for letting Henry help 🇨🇦
I'm SO happy i just found your channel, you guys are the best- funny, funny, real, handy, talented, and have i mentioned, FUNNY!!! Can't wait to binge your videos! Take care, Toni
