    Very nice. I just bought one that's a few years older, but virtually identical layout. This is great inspiration.

    I just bought a 1995 Rockwood , and the layout looks the same. I was wondering what size is the mattress ?? Love the remodel ❤️

      @theartifactory3637  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! I wish I could tell you the size of the mattresses, but I’m unable to raise the roof right now because someone crashed into it in Washington. I’ll be doing a repair video sometime in the future when it warms up here.

    I just bought the same camper . It’s in great shape but needs an awning. Do you know where I could find one? Your camper turned out great. I like the modern look. It resembles the way a lot of the van builds are done. Very nice

    No laying down on the job lady! Ha ha ha ha! What type of paint did you use? And why did you use plastic to recover the seating pads? Really like the blankets & upholstery colors/look. Feminine and masculine all in the same batch. Nice

    • @theartifactory3637

      Thank you! The total cost of supplies for the renovation was only $500. It’s holding up pretty well a year later after heavy use. I have some upcoming videos showing more detail about what’s worked and what could have been done differently. Please subscribe and watch those when they’re posted!

    Hi I have the same camper as you, and a camper support that is the one that raises and lowers the roof of the camper got stuck and does not lower, I would like to know how to repair it, thanks

    • @theartifactory3637
      @theartifactory3637  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don’t specifically know how to fix that. The supports do need to be lubricated occasionally. I use the silicone based WD-40.

      So far the only slightly annoying thing is that it scuffs, but it’s really easy to clean and touch up, and it makes the space feel much more open.

      @@theartifactory3637 I can totally see how that would create an airy feel to the interior. I recently got a pop up camper which is what led me to your video. As a kid in the 1970s my family had an old camper with the wood look interior. I finally decided just to leave mine the same way for the sake of nostalgia. I did however put some nice dark wood look linoleum down over the late 1980s tile look linoleum. Which dramatically improved the looks without effecting the campy old feel. I do appreciate your video for the inspiration to just tear into it and make it happen. Thank you!

    Could you please post the name of the paints you used? I know you showed them for like a split second but I didn’t get to see :(

    • @theartifactory3637
      @theartifactory3637  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! Sorry. It was hard to tell how long things were going to be on screen with the time lapse. I’ll add them to the description as well, but for the plastic trim and rubber we used Rustoleum Universal Bonding Primer, for the walls and cabinets we used Sherwin Williams Everlast Exterior for durability, for high-heat applications we used Krylon High-Heat. If it’s helpful, we also used Tec Ready to Use Floor Patch. It’s all stuff that’s available at Lowe’s.

    how much did you pay for 1997 Rockwood?

    • @theartifactory3637
      @theartifactory3637  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      We paid $2700. Arguably too much, but it was at the beginning of the pandemic, and there was a rush on secondhand campers.
