Just watched your other vid, glad you did this update, as I was going to use a portable air con. I just didn't want to cut a hole in the side for a window unit. and I'm not putting a hole in my roof. Just purchased a 94 Coleman Destiny model that's well taken care of and I don't want to start butchering on it. I may still try a port. AC as I already have two in the house, and we live in the northern US. Thanks again for the updated vid.
Great video, Me and my wife bought a popup today and i was thinking of painting my canvas, i was also going to buy a stand up portable AC. So ill be goimg with the window unit on ours as well.
Thank for the update. I bought a 2004 hybrid travel trailer and we cleaned the canvas alot. The back looks better than the front, and we are gonna buy geckos for the pop outs anyway, but i loved your video showing that it can be painted. What is the name of the color you used? Had you kept the box for the portable ac you could have returned it. Or sell it on market place. You can also use those floor fans, which aids the ac and moves air around. Your baby has gotten bigger and so cute.
Thanks for the info I want to paint the inside of my tent trailer like you guys did but I don't know what kind of material it is it's a Jayco Eagle I'm definitely going to do the window AC thing like you guys said thanks for telling me the stand up on wasn't good enough because that was the way I was going to go I just wanted to say again thank you for making the movie that's awesome
Im in Queensland Australia so while a lot of your content isnt relatable camper trailers are universal so it makes total sense why this video has been the most requested. Ide be keen to know how you installed the new ac unit as i was going to buy a portable ac for my cub camper? Is the roof out/inside painted with the same paint?
That actually makes great sense! Sorry I didn’t take video of installing the ac unit but I just used a multi tool to cut a hole in the inside and outer part of the paneling on the camper. I do have to remove the AC while I travel. I had a portable AC unit in my camper before I do not recommend it at all. It did not work very well for my camper. The roof is painted inside and out with the exact same paint.
@@love2cook532 good question! I pull the window unit out and wrap it in a thick blanket to protect it. I will then seal the hole with a thick construction plastic and tape. That is what I am currently doing but I have plans for a small wooden door that is able to be inserted in the hole. It will probably be this winter before I build that though.
You said the roof didn't stick the paint well? What would you use instead. TY, just staring on my soon to be pink palace and your videos were so helpful and inspiring.
Thank you for commenting! The hard top roof of the camper stuck very well but the vinyl roof for the pull outs did not stick at all. I actually did not paint them because I saw how poorly the paint stuck to the vinyl on the side by the door. If I were going to try and paint the vinyl again, maybe I would use an oil based primer like kills on it but even still I’m not sure if that would work. Vinyl is a very hard surface to get paint stick to.
Do you leave the AC hooked up and sticking out as you are pulling it on the road? ... and is it left there while the camper is being stored for the off season?
Do you got rain on canvas after painting or spray a lot of water on it to see the reaction? Did you get hard time to apply the paint because of water repilant on canvas? Thanks Your subject is very interesting and nice to see your family participate
Hey thanks for the comment! We have been rained on several times in the camper and it did not affect the canvas at all! As far as applying the paint to the canvas feel free to check out this video. Our canvas was older and honestly I could tell the water repellant had worn off. So I had no issue painting it th-cam.com/video/nw2_BMjHbvA/w-d-xo.html
As a professional house painter this paint is amazing!! Works great in repel water!! Just bought a 1978 jayco were gutting it to look just like yours! Can't wait!
Are you referring to the external lift system? More manual labor to lift, but not as heavy and no cranking 40 times to get it popped up. They are more rare and seem to be gone from Pop ups made after the 1980's. We had an 88 Palomino Pony with that system.
I bought a boat hatch and put in side of my camper for ac. Way cheaper than RV door and better built. I did the portable ac at first too. Big waste of money.
You're enjoying life with your family. Well done young man.
Thanks for trying and succeeded with the canvas painting. Love your honesty about the AC. Great job

Hey thank you for the comment! I am really glad the video was helpful to you!
Is your AC sticking out like that when you go down the road , or do you bring it inside Just curious ..
Did you seal the canvas after painting it? Is it still water resistant?

@@ColtenBethel Was wondering how you "seal" or close the window AC opening while in transit? Nice setup! Cheers, from PA!

@@ColtenBethel the pull out? The bed area? They aren’t canvas? I guess i need to watch again lol.
Ohhh I see didn’t realize the tops were not canvas. Thank you for the reply.

@@donnaengrem4681 good question! We do pull it out when towing and storing

Well done buddy, Can you share details of the lifting system? Please
Thank you very much! I’m not sure I understand your question. Would you phrase it differently
Are you referring to the external lift system? More manual labor to lift, but not as heavy and no cranking 40 times to get it popped up. They are more rare and seem to be gone from Pop ups made after the 1980's. We had an 88 Palomino Pony with that system.
What type of paint did you use on the interior canvas? Is it the same as the exterior.
You are correct. We used the same on inside and out
@@ColtenBethel thanks so much I appreciate that
What paint was used on the bed areas? Same kind just different color?
That is correct! I have a full process video on my channel feel free to check it out!
@@ColtenBethel I know I watched both videos. thanks for making them.
Hello what pain you used for the inside 😊
Hey, I actually have a full build and painting video on my channel. Feel free to check it out! th-cam.com/video/DKz1GMLvUaU/w-d-xo.html
I bought a boat hatch and put in side of my camper for ac. Way cheaper than RV door and better built. I did the portable ac at first too. Big waste of money.
Hey that’s actually a really good idea! Yeah I wish I wouldn’t have done the portable the first time but oh well. Thanks!
How many BTUs is the AC. Is that a 5k?
You are correct it is 5,000!
What kind of paint did you to paint canvas
The some one that is in the video. We used that on the inside and outside
Did the acrylic paint leave a smell 👃?
Not at all! I believe that paint is very low voc.
