Reviving Retro RV Vibes: Punchlist Palooza - Transforming Our 1970s RV - DIY Decor & More!

- Harvey needs to get tucked in for winter soon so we're running through a final punch list of this vintage RV renovation that will add some additional safety, storage, and retro style to this classic motor home. We pick up where we left off with the spare tire holder and add a new backup camera. We hit a few snags along the way but manage to restore some of the vintage charm with some retro decor and a sweet new storage/headboard for this tiny home. The icing on the cake is the new DIY custom blinds on a budget that we create for Harvey. They look amazing and will give us some much needed privacy while camping.
Here's the link to the website with tutorial on creating blinds - sawdust2stitches.com/r-v-curt...

You guys are a great couple ! You can tell you guys really LOVE each other ! Great job !
Thanks so much! We make a pretty good pair 💚
i love watching you two...... please dont stop.... also even when harvey is done ... please bring the ol' boy back once in awhile ...:)
Thank you so much for the comment! We hope to get Harvey out on some trips this summer so he'll still be on the channel... plus we keep thinking of more work we want to do to it 😂
The husband and I suggest using magnets on the bottoms of those curtains so they stick to the frame of the window. Nice job by the way.
Great suggestion! Thanks so much 🎉🎉
They make strong round or bar magnets, just sew a small pocket to bottom of each corner and add a magnet. Boom done
That is a great idea!
“Booger weld”… love those Tylerisms! ❤
Lolol 🤣. Thanks for the comment!
In all my years on the road, I liked radios to communicate with the outside world. That love continued until 2000. I got my first cell phone. Now I can call anywhere in the world right from the driver's seat. CBs are a blast from the past... But.... Noisey. Love your channel.
Thanks, Mark! We appreciate you following our progress since the spring. We are toying with the idea of adding the cb back somewhere just in case we're out of cell range and break down at some point but that's TBD. Happy New Year 🎉
Love the iconic Red Green quote, we even bought the T-shirt.
Red Green is priceless 😂
Love, love, love the pillows and the emotions!! God Bless you guys, Happy 2024!!!!
Thank you so much! Happy New Year 🎉💚
Ya'll are doing a fabulous job!! It looks ABSOLUTELY GREAT!! I LOVE IT!!! Now your teaching your kids things they will take with them and carry on to there kids and the memories made traveling and camping with your family. We have a new alpha wolf and we are loving it so far!! 😊
Thank you so much!!😊 Good luck and have fun in your travels!
Loved the Red Green show! 😂 “I’m a man, I can change if I have to. I guess.”
That show was funny 🤣. Thanks for watching!
I realy like the Chemestry between you, I think its awsome
Toy guy crack me up. I have a sick sense of humor
😂😂 Thanks for watching!
Another great video. My wife and I love to watch your videos every Sunday morning before church as we eat our bagels and drink our coffee. It has become our Sunday morning ritual. 😆
That's awesome!! We're trying to get these videos out as promptly as possible. If only the weather would cooperate 😆. Keep watching and we'll keep making them 😉
You two are just wonderful and have a great family.
Thanks so much! 💚
I'm not crying either... spending the day with your grandma's. Thank you for being real.
They really were the best grandmas ❤❤
Holy cow!! You're back!! It's been so long I was afraid HaRVey was dead in a ditch somewhere, and we were never going to hear from him again. It's not good to worry subbers like that!!
Happy belated Birthday to Tyler!! Its a very special birthday when you get to work on your vintage RV!!
Look at y'all going all Joanna Gaines on the finishing touches!! Well done! Have they gotten in touch yet?? Maybe they're busy sending all these subbers your way instead. Good work on the 10.3k subs!! Moving fast from the little channel that could to the channel that is!! Well done, for sure!!
The punch list is the best!! Way to giteralldone!! Or, just wait for the pole barn to be finished, roll it inside, close the door, pretend it's not really there. Pretty sure that works for all kinds of things, especially unfinished HaRVey projects.
Looking forward to all the fun stuff coming up!! Bob Villa would be very proud of what you've accomplished so far.
Hahaha! You win for best post! I laughed so hard reading it….😂❤️🇨🇦
@@jackvanleeuwenkamp4706 Well thank you!! Humor and kindness make for the best comments, I find.
Thanks for the great post! A lot of family obligations around the holidays 😁. Also,thanks for the birthday wishes. Harvey is alive and well. Chip and Jo haven't returned our calls yet. They're probably busy with their own projects 😉. We'll keep working but that barn sure would help with productivity this time of year.
I am one of those grandmas who had that couch, except mine had orange flowers on it. Haha! Such a perfect addition to Harvey!
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing! We are excited to get old Harvey out on the road this spring!
For your curtains at the front and back, use magnets on the wall and sewn into the curtain to keep them attached to the wall of the camper. I have done this in our camper several times, works great! Great job on it!
Great idea, thank you! We appreciate you watching!
The pillows are perfect 🥹
Thank you 💚
Nice 70's touches! Great job kids...
Thank you 💚
**wanted to share a tip I myself just learned the other day. When using sprays try replacing the spray tip with a WD40 tip. Switching tips help to have more control of the spray also not wasting as much. Be sure to test spray a few making sure the WD40 spray has cleared. I hope this helps you in your retro remodels. Love ❤️ your channel!
We have never heard that but sounds like it may be worth a shot! Thanks so much 🎉🎉
So glad I found you guys, can’t wait for a Harvey road trip!!!!
We're excited to get Harvey out on the road too😁. Stay tuned!
heres to the grandparents :)
Yes, indeed ❤️
My grandma also had a couch like that. My grandma taught me cross stitch. And card games.
Grandmas are the best 💚 Yes, cards too! I used to always play Skip-bo at my grandma's house. Thanks for the comment!
Congratulations on the 10,000 🙂👍🤎🙏
I just found your channel today and watched a couple videos and have loved what you’ve done to Harvey👍🏻😊❤️🙏🏻
Hi Christy & Tyler the cushions are beautiful. I cried with you Christy too. I miss my grandmothers. Happy birthday Tyler. Also congratulations 10k subscribers 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤
Thank you so much! I really had no idea I was about to have a breakdown... obviously we don't script these things. I really had the best grandmas. Thank you for the comment and Tyler says thanks for the birthday wishes 🥳
Congratulations on your 10,000 subscribers. Jeff and l are Proud to be one. Your Class c Motorhome looks Amazing. Good job Everyone who worked on it 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🙋♀️🙋♂️😍

Im so glad I found your channel.I love watching you guys create cool stuff. So entertaining!!
We're glad you found our channel too! Thanks so much! 💚
Such a fun video! I miss my Grandmother, I think of her when I smell roses. lemon honey and the smell of leather in a 1950s car and like you Christy even memories can do it, hugs to you :) Have a great Birthday Tyler.
Thank you so much for the comment! We're lucky to have such good memories of our grandmothers ❤️ Happy New Year! Thanks for watching!
Hair! Wow!
Tools!😊
Looking ready for Bear!
It's getting there! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Great job on the renovations and the filming and editing. Also so nice to see such great teamwork and the care you clearly have for each other. It’s inspiring to see that and I’ve come away from watching you two work together feeling optimistic. Well done.
Thank you so much!
My spare is mounted underneath. I like the rack idea though. Good use of that empty space between the bumper and rv. You guys did a really good job making everything look nice. I love the colored rims too. Protects from rust and looks nice.
Thanks! It's a tight space under Harvey. Other RV'S are no doubt different though. I think the colored rims are cool too😁
Your kids are terrific! I like to see how you get them involved with the rehab!
We like to include them when they're willing! Thanks so much 💚
Great video! You all did such a nice job on Harvey. He looks fantastic. I love your channel and look forward to watching all the other projects you have lined up. Keep smiling!
Thanks so much! 💚💚💚
Happy Birthday Tyler!!Everything is looking great!! Love your spare tire bracket and your camera mount. Love your new blinds , your curtain and that waffle cloth you glued up looks awesome. GREAT job. The storage build is awesome!! Just a suggestion for the angled from window, I bought some window film and put on mine and it worked great. Can't see through mine, it's white to let light in though. But you could use the darker color to block out sun and you can see out but not in if you get the mirrored kind. Another idea is you can get long springs and sew seam spaces each side of your blind and put one top and bottom. Run the spring or cable also would work, through the seams and attach ends to each side of window. If you make the blind longer than the width of window so it sort of gathers across the window for textured look. So happy to see another new video. Wonderful your getting a barn built to get you guys inside out of the weather!! So happy for you.
Thank you for the birthday wishes! Also,thanks for the compliments and suggestions😁. The window film is definitely something we've been discussing😉.
You installed the monitor (not camera) upside down. Try long springs for the curtains on the curved walls. Love what you're doing, congratulations on the 10K, and looking forward to the new videos..
Thank you! Great idea with the springs. So, yes, we knew that we put the monitor in upsidedown but the bolts on the sides didn't fit correctly in the mount if flipped... like it was only designed to be dash mounted or something. We probably could have tried a little harder with those bolts though, lol. We decided to fix it the hard way 😂. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Man what a sweet moment, learning to sew, my grandma taught me, Great video
Thanks so much! 💚
We enjoyed your Harvey the Rv Reno looking forward to your next project 😊
Thank you! We're looking forward to getting some work done on our other projects soon!
Absolutely awesome job. I am so impressed by your talents. I would love to have a camper just like that.
Thank you so much! It's been a lot of work but we're excited to be able to use the camper this summer!
Oh man the "look at it" video that is hilarious I remember that video from 15 years ago...such a classic.
Funny for sure. A true classic 😁
congratulations,
for the 10000 viewers, the light you fixt, the whole list of things you two did...
thanks for showing all this trick and ideas , like to see things like this 👍
happy happy new year from belgium to 🙂
Thanks so much! Happy New Year to you in Belgium!
I got my t-shirt today so thank you so much! Too freaking cold here towear it!
Great news! I mean about the shirt, not the temps. This weather is ridiculous! 🥶
So happy to see you back!😁
Thank you! Christmastime was particularly hectic with the family but we're excited to get back to it! Thanks for watching!
P.P.S. 10k subs! Yay! Happy birthday! Yay! Pole barn started! Yay!❤
Lots of good things happening 🎉🎉
I'm not crying.....that was SO SWEET! As a Grandma, that touched my heart ❤️ I teared up myself along with you.
We appreciate the sweet comment. Grandmas are the best. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 💚
Good job looks great! For the front curtain-screw a rope (string) at the top and bottom of the window. Then sew a piece of material with a channel top and bottom. Pull the rope thru the curtain channel top and bottom. Same as your divider curtain, except you have a channel at the bottom as well. The curtain will stay against the window and not hang straight down. You'll be able to push the curtain open as it slides along the rope.
Thanks for the tip! Good idea!
Everything looks great! Happy Birthday Tyler 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! 🥳
What progress sewing, Temu! is the ticket 😂 love the Cain and curtain. But the winner was the spray adhesive that cracked me up your hand stuck to the roller. What can l say I’m easily entertained. Thanks for sharing your journey. 😊
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Temu is hit or miss but we're happy with how the cane stuff turned out 💚
Good afternoon. Just brought home a 1989 Class C for a ground up resto. Watching as many restores as possible for ideas (and mistakes to avoid). Noticed your Michiganders and SVSU fans. Was a Proff there. Currently live in mt Pleasant.
Welcome to our channel! We've got other projects coming up. Check out our other videos. Good luck with your project 😉. Go Cardinals!!
So happy to see you guys. Happy Happy.
Thanks so much 💚
🎉WOW AWESOME JOB 🎉 You guys are amazing! Love ❤️ All of your awesome content and You both and kids are so sweet. Thank You for sharing. 🎉
Awww, thank you so much 💚
That cobra 29 oughta be a collectable!
It might be! We might end up reinstalling it at some point. Thanks for the comment! 🎉🎉
You did it hope you have many miles of camping fun
Thanks so much! You've been with us from the start 💚 We're looking forward to some trips this summer and already thought of more projects we want to do on it 😆
The monitor is also upside down
Congratulations on your 10k 🎉
Thank you! So, yes, we knew that we put it in upsidedown but the bolts on the sides didn't fit correctly in the mount if flipped... like it was only designed to be dash mounted or something.

Looking great on 70s Rv ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 💚
Love the Temu drapes
Temu is growing on us 😁
It looks AWESOME..!! Great Job.! ❤❤
Thank you! 💚
Your channel came across my you tube today. My hubby & I really like your videos so we became a subscriber. We’ve been watching them from your very first video. You both work really good together which makes it fun to watch all the renovations.🤗
Thank you so much! We're happy you found our channel and very much appreciate the comment 💚
@@retrorevivals We’ve been camping for 30 years. Started when our kids were 12 & 10. We started tent camping, did that for 2 yrs, then bought a used Pop up, camped in that for almost 15 yrs, upgraded to a small travel trailer and now have a 5th wheel. We’re in Kentucky so we camp April through October. We’re bing watching your videos from the 1st one🤗
Light made your hair match your Hoodie!
Haha, didn't notice that! 💛
Beautiful pillows! You got me in my feels!
Awww, thank you, it was a surprise emotional breakdown 😢
Welcome back you’ve been missed.
Thank you 😁
A simple fix for the blinds on the front and back windows. Get magnetic washers with a tapered center for a countersunk screw. Screw a steel washer to each end of the bottom dowel. When you drop the blind, stick the dowel to the magnets screwed to the wall. The magnets should be strong enough to hold onto the edges of the washers. You could put a second pair of magnets at a level in between to secure the blind partially open. Amazon has a 50 pack of these magnets for $6.99. That would be more than enough to magnetize all the blinds. Could leave the bunk blinds down when driving and they wouldn't flap around. Leave the windows open when there's a breeze and the magnets would hold the blinds down to keep a full blast of wind out while allowing some ventilation through the screens.
There are also non-magnetic steel washers with the same shape, made to screw onto things to stick to magnets. They'd work on the ends of the dowels and being thicker than regular flat washers would stick better on edge to the magnets.
Thanks for the tip. Lots of good suggestions about the blinds. Thanks for the comment 😁
We love you ❤
Thanks so much 💚
I think the drop cloth would make a great curtain divider. I think the blanket divider is tooo busy. However, EVERYTHING looks great. So much work! U guys work so well together. Most husbands and wives would probably have killed each other after the first mishap. 😀Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Also, with a drop cloth divider u can go with a busier backsplash
Also, a dowel curtain rod attached to the overhang would be better for the curtain divider. 😀
Thanks so much for the comments! We have had to learn to just laugh through the mishaps... a project like this would be miserable otherwise! We're happy to hear you're enjoying our videos; we're planning to get more out soon!
We were a little afraid we'd end up breaking a dowel type rod since the ladder is there and we'd be climbing up and down a lot. The cable is an experiment but so far so good, lol.
Depending where you are going to be, you might want make a security strap on the tire and camera so someone does not help themselves to it. A shame but some people have no shame. The front window could have velcro tabs on it to hold it against the wall.
Yes, fantastic idea. We are planning to use some of the cable we bought to loop through the wheel and padlock it. Thanks for the comment!
Happiest of Birthdays..Tyler!!! 🎉❤ Hope it was a fun day...
Thank you, it was a good one! 🥳
Congratulations and Happy Birthday
Thank you 🥳🎉
Happy Birthday Tyler!
Thank you! 🎂😁
Awww! The zippered cushions are perfect, and the couch cushion, and the wood burning. Your grandmas were awesome. Jack did a great job with the drill!
Thanks ❤️ It was a lot of work but we're happy with how it turned out 😁
It’s sure looking good guys, love the colors.
Thank you! We wanted to pay a little homage to the 70s with some of the decor. Thanks for watching!
It’s beautiful!
Thank you 😁
Looks so wonderful you should be so proud!!
Thanks so much! 💚
Your resurrection of the tail light reminds me of my archeologist friends. They dig up broken Dino bones and can glue them back together! Way to problem solve and bring back wonderful memories.
Thanks! We weren't sure if it could be saved but thought it was worth a shot. We appreciate the comment!
Gimme my Makita back, Mac!
It's Fat Albert!
Happy birthday, you old fart!
& congratulations on 10K!
Hey Hey Hey, thank you!
If the retan isn't straight enough, you could put a small molding around the edge to hide it. That reverse lens should out last the rv if you don't jam a board under it again. Nice job on the whole unit. Makes me want to find an old rv to fix up now.
Happy new year.
Thanks for that idea! Putting a board there was not our best idea for sure... won't be making that mistake again. Thanks for watching 🎉
You can make blinds with magnets on them told hold them in place in those front and back windows people do that in the van builds all the time that way you can remove them and put back up quick and easy and still have the same blinds as the rest of them hope this helps congratulations on the 10000🎉
Just to let you know, the old campers usually have aluminum window trim/frames and magnets have to be fixed to the camper and the curtain for that to work. In a van conversion, they are working with the van body steel.
Thanks so much! Yes, for magnets to work, we'd need to add them on the wall too (or some metal) since our windows are aluminum but it's still worth considering. Thanks for the comment. We appreciate you watching!
Another great video, Harvey is looking really good, Happy Birthday and congrats on the 10,000 subscribers
Thank you so much! 💚
My shirt came in! Thank you! Stayin Toasty!
That's awesome!! Stay toasty my brother!!
Sorry about the backup light cover, fix worked well! Spare tire rack looks great. Neat head board, we’ll done kids. Zippers are a trick, real nice job. Don’t ya just miss all those that have gone on before. Oh that cane was a good idea. 26 degrees, perfect painting weather. 😆 Great idea on the canvas for curtains. Congratulations on your barn building. Yeah, Harvey turned out darn cute.‼
Thanks for the comment 😁. We're happy with how all those projects turned out. We'll keep working. Stay tuned 😉
Happy New Year. So glad to see a new video from you. They are always entertaining and leave a smile on my face.
Happy New Year to you too! Thanks for watching!
Happy bda
🎉
That is determination for that light....I would of glued too
Sometimes all it takes is a little patience and some super glue 😆
Happy Birthday and Congratulations on 10,000
Thank you! 🎉🥳
Very creative and good video. I enjoy watching.
Thanks so much! 🎉🎉
Great work, guys!
Thank you 😊😊
Heres something Im thinking about doing with the over cab bed window,,,Total Black out window covering,,Its not a wincow that would be used and I love the fact of not having to put a curtain back up ! Also I think the camera was right it looked like the display was upside down ! Looking awesome guys !
window film,,Brain fart ! lol
Thanks for the comment. We're considering the window film. As for the camera,you are right. The issue lies with the monitor mount. It's made for a dash mount. I'll have to modify it slightly to flip the monitor over now that's it's an overhead mount. Flipping the camera was just a quick fix 😉
Your curtains are great.
Thanks! 💚
Enjoy your content all the way from Australia. Keep it up 👍
That's amazing! Thanks so much!
The curtain idea is perfect. I might have to do that in my RV. Also, backsplash, what about a peel and stick wall covering that looks like stainless steel? I bought some on Amazon and covered my refrigerator doors with it. Really enjoy your videos!
Thanks for the comment! That's a great idea 💡 Thanks so much for watching 🎉
Happy Birthday 🎉
Thank you! 🥳
I had that on my couch in 1973. I guess I am old enough to be your parents, at least.
It's the best, most indestructible fabric! Thanks so much for watching 💚
Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers and Happy Birthday 🎉!!
Thank you 🥳
Happy New Year you to both and family! Awesome job with pulling your design together. In my old RV I used fog spray in my upper cab window. Still allowed light to transfer through, but gave me the privacy. Have also bought window films. Might be an option to consider. Can purchase UV films as well. You can see out but people can’t see in.
Thanks for sharing, enjoy your content!
Great idea! We'd love to install the mirrored type of tint on all of the windows. Thanks so much for watching and for the comment!
Happy New Year guys! Another great video!
🎉CONGRATULATIONS ON 10,000 SUBSCRIBERS!🎉
Well done and it's well deserved!
Thanks so much!!! 🎉🎉🎉
My parents had that kind of couch
It's the coolest fabric, isn't it?
I just stumbled on your channel today and LOVE the work you do!
That's awesome! We're happy you found our channel! Thanks for watching 💚
Great job...so excited to see the small jobs you accomplished.
Thanks! We think they turned out great! Keep watching 😉
