- RV RENO | DIY VINYL Plank Flooring INSTALLATION and RESULTS in an RV is what we have been doing for the last few weeks. We thought Vinyl Plank flooring installation would be a breeze because RVs are so much smaller than houses- WRONG! It was a huge challenge, but we are so happy with the results! We can’t wait to show you next week’s RV reno update!
Thanks for watching and sticking with us. We are super grateful you are here!
See you next week!

Let's talk kitchen! What would you add to your RV kitchen renovation?
Nice job young folks I have to do this in the upcoming off season in BC ,,CANADA 👍👍
Thank you so much! Please let us know if you have any questions. We hope to get to BC one day!
Oh man, you guys are all about Prank Wars. I would cry if I thought my TV broke. You guys are machine. I really don't think you guys sleep. I do like how you have been incorporating those drone shots to your videos. Chris looks like a Viking with all of his tools and serious look. This is crazy!!!
Thanks so much Carl! Your family is so fun! I can definitely see you getting into prank wars 🤣. We don’t sleep but would love to! Maybe when the renovation gets done? But then we always move onto something different lol 😂. How are you all? I loved your aquarium video! I hope we can make it there this year! ❤️💕
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily We are doing well. I just got my first dose of the vaccine so after I get the 2nd one, I'm hoping to do much more than before. My wife being a teacher has been vaccinated. Just can't wait for things to get back to normal.
@@SantosChronicles Same here! Chris just had his second shot and mine is scheduled for Thursday! A new normal will be soo nice! ❤️💕
Lol looked like fun ( nice plumber butt Chris🤣) lol Johna peeing outside, when you got to go you got to go. Great job Chris.
Haha thanks so much for watching Buddy! He definitely was rocking the plumber crack - my brother is a plumber so he must have learned it from him 🤣. That was actually Jude peeing! Can you believe how big they are since the last time you saw them 😭. As you know - it goes by way too quickly! 💕❤️
Omg he has gotten so big what are you feeding him.
@@thetravelingbuddy6104 haha I know! It’s crazy!!! I see our old vlogs and am just amazed how big they both are! How’s your new camera?!
Chris is so handy and creative in his problem solving. I feel like I'm watching a puzzle be put together. I bet you are guys are going to be so excited when you guys are out on the road with your newly renovated RV. If there is a Home Depot Rewards, you guys must have a lot of points. This looks so good. I feel like I just watched one of those HGTV shows. LOL, Kiss the floor!!!!
Carl what a great idea! The stuff we have been buying is from all over the place because of the lack of product during the pandemic- but that’s a great idea to look into a rewards program! We should probably buy stock in west major home improvement store 🤣🤣🤣 we just can’t wait to get it done and see some of the amazing places you have shown us! 💕❤️
Y'all are like Reno Rockstars! It looks so good! LOL @ scaring your mom! She looks like she is a funny lady! LOL! Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew
Haha we are having too much fun with this prank war! Thanks so much for the encouragement- we didn’t go brand new like you two are planning on so it definitely needed some updates lol! How’s the search going?! 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily We found one! Hopefully the reveal video is coming soon, just have to finish editing. :-)
@@BrokenDreamsReborn ahh I can’t wait!! 💕❤️
Wow! Looks so amazing! Great job, you had such a great sense of humor during that process. Excited to see what’s next! Great video 🤗
Thanks so much! We had to, or we would cry 😂😂😂. We are moving on to the kitchen next! How are you two doing? 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily yay! Can’t wait to see. We are good!
You are taking us on an emotional journey with the saga of the flooring. Give Chris a pat on the back for all that math. It looks incredible! You guys made the right choice to purchase something you could make your own. I was reminded just the other day of a "balcony incident" where Ian had to pee whilst on our annual vacation 2 years ago at 5 and peed off a balcony *sigh*. When they have to go they have to go. Am very excited to see the finished rv and see you guys on the road! Also tell Chris not to scare us with injury fake outs 🤣😅 cortisol all over lol
Omg 🤣🤣🤣 I hope you have “the balcony incident” on video and can bust it out of the archived to show me 😂 I’m afraid Jude would absolutely do the same! Thanks for your encouragement- I’m not a giant math fan so I’m glad I married someone who is. I’m loving all your pictures on FB! Looks like you have had some fun adventures lately! 💕❤️
Looks sooo good!
I'd add a deep sink
Thanks so much - oh I love that idea!!! 😍😍😍
That was a lot of hard work... I'm off to have a quick sleep 😂
Thanks so much for watching! Take a nap for us too 🤣🤣🤣 Hope you are doing well Paul! 💕❤️
It looks AMAZING! Wow! Sooo much work, you guys. 😮But you did it!!! So exciting. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! How is your van build going?! 😬💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily we just finished all the demo!! 😁
It’s satisfying to see the open space just ready for all the new things! So excited. ✨💕
@@PinterWhitnick ahh so exciting! A blank slate!! 😬😬😬💕❤️
I admire your fortitude....wow, what a project!
Thanks so much Joanne! It feels so good to move on to much smaller projects 🤣 Miss you! 💕❤️
Ah it looks gorgeous guys! I see the boys are getting ready to be on the road...you do have a toilet right🙈🙊🤣 Obviously you had to kiss the floor once it was done🎉👏🏼
We do! 🤣 However after living in the country for the last few months Jude now thinks he can pee anywhere 😂. Thanks so much for watching it! Loved your last vlog. So glad you got to see your niece! 💕❤️
Hey guys, Chris did a fantastic job with flooring. We’re on our 7th house now, and it’s still a challenge. I think you, guys, are rock-staring it. Best of luck from Hawaii. Can’t wait to see your new adventures! - Nadia
Thanks so much Nadia! I’m so glad they are in! Such a process. How are you?! We need to catch up! Things still going great for you all in Hawaii? Can’t wait to ditch this thing and make our way to you! 🤣💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily We do my friend! I was born in St. Petersburg, Russia (5 million people), lived in Boston for 15 years. Now I’m training horses in rural Hawaii (so different), and I’m cool with that. Baby steps. Can’t wait when you and your beautiful family visit us in Hawaii. We’re doing well:)
I love how diverse your experiences are! It’s so cool that you involve your kids so much in everything- like picking out their own animals- you and Ron are amazing parents! I’m glad you are doing well! 💕❤️
I love the color of the floor. It’s looking good!
Coming from you that means a lot! Thanks so much! Do you like the idea of keeping it bright and airy? Hope you have been well, Marilyn! 💕❤️
Great new video guys !! All the best in your next adventures, we stay tuned :)
Thank you so much! We are loving your Egypt vlogs! 💕❤️
It's coming together!! So fun!! :)
Thank you so much! We have been working on the kitchen and are so excited about the way it’s turning out! How are you all doing? I miss your vlogs! Are you soaking in time with the baby? 💕❤️
Love the shots of you all kissing the floor at the end. Also, Morgan, I love your hat - so fit for Instagram. Epic job on the flooring. Surely you’re almost ready to go :)
Thank so much Mart! I feel like I would see Miras wearing something similar! We are definitely getting there 😬. How are you all doing? Any closer to making your dreams in the Philippines come true? 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily well, Miras & Raf’s Saudi visa has been extended until July. Hopefully, the Riyadh Philippine Embassy will issue Raf and I a visa to enable onward travel by then.
Of course your dad would have an amazing tractor 😍😍 Amazing door window nook 😂 The floor looks absolutely AMAZING! 😱🥰 I love how you’re working on the floors at 3am, and then you uploaded this video at like 4am 🤣
So every time I’ve installed vinyl floors, I always just used a simple blade knife to score the top where I wanted it to cut and then it would snap really easily and quickly... I guess for all those angle cuts you had to do, it was worth using that cutting tool, but for the straight cuts... I think you’ll find it pretty easy to just snap it next time. Maybe these were different types of floors though 🤷🏻♂️
And btw, I loved the longer style of this!!!!!!
Haha thanks so much for watching! It’s been nice having all these tools available!
I didn’t touch the floors because I’m sure they would have been destroyed 🤣, but Chris compared the angles and putting in the floor in the RV to a jigsaw puzzle hand cut by a sleepy toddler 🙃😂. Is that what you put in your house in Chicago? We love the way it looks and the durability! 💕❤️
Also I’m so glad you liked the longer story - we were really hesitant, because we have been posting much shorter pieces and didn’t know if it would freak people out. I really appreciated that feedback! 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily lollll well, I’ve only installed that kinda flooring in friend’s houses, but it definitely didn’t look as hard as what he was doing 😂 It really does look amazing! And so impressive that you could still have the slide out section!
Thanks so much! Do you all have any updates on Madagascar? Things seem to be opening up here!
Where did you get the transition strip? I'm currently doing my rv flooring and am having trouble with the pull out transition 😮
Hello 👋 thanks for reaching out. What I found was a step edge from Menards. The layer next to the front of the slide out, I glued down and then glued down the step edge on top. Does that make sense? If not, tell me, we are happy to help you!
Good to see you using maths from school days. I don’t think I’ve had to use anything I learnt apart from basic household finances. Great job on the continuation of your refurb job. When do you think you’ll be ready to hit the road?
Haha me either Mart! At least we were able to use it a bit here 🤣. We are hoping by Jonah’s birthday in June we will be on the road, but if we get it done earlier we will definitely leave! Can’t wait! Hope you are all doing well! 💕❤️
I have a question. When you make a cut across the vinyl plank that changes the end of it to not accept the next plank correctly. The rubber edge on one side of plank that sticks out has no cavity to go into when placing them end to end cause the previous piece was cut and therefore lost that cavity/slot for the next plank to seat into. Don't know if I made myself clear. But I need to know how to fix that. If they just sit end to end there is no connection there.
Hello 👋 I think I understand what you are asking. So when working across, left to right, you will lose a few pieces here and there when you get to the end of a row, you should always be able to link the top and left piece into the next plank. Some of the scrap pieces you might be able to save and use if you have small areas to fill.
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily Thank you for your reply. I do know the top and bottom can link together but the left or right end of the plank is the issue I'm having. They don't interlock above or below the piece that they sit next to.
My pleasure! Hmmm I’m not sure! Do you have Facebook or IG? Feel free to send us a picture! We’d love to see it!
Fun video guys. I enjoyed it.
Thanks so much! Hope you’ve been getting some big catches! 💕❤️
Yayyy congrats guys! Happy 2k btw...
Thanks so much! How are you two doing?! 💕❤️
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you so much! It definitely feels a lot more like a home to us now! ❤️
Just wondering what kind of water barrier you put between the sub floor and the vinyl? Moisture can get between where the vinyl planks meet and buckle your sub floor. But thought maybe the sub floor was water proof (exterior grade). Love the choose of color and planks. Can't wait to see what's next.
Hope we didn’t make a misstep 🤣 we were told that the flooring was water proof so we put it in. Excuse me while I feverishly google 🤣🤣🤣💕❤️
These click lock flooring has the waterproofing attached already
Did the glue hold up on the bullnose trim piece on the slide? I glued mine twice and it keeps coming off. Tried to Brad nail it but there is metal under the slide. Trying to figure out a new solution. Maybe small metal screws. They just need to be short or they will dig into the flooring when slide comes in.
It did! So far so good! We left it for a whole day and put a bunch of wood and kettlebells on top of it. We rushed one under the bed and that didn’t hold up. I hope that helps! Keep us posted!
Shouldn’t be that hard mate 😅 Putting the floor in and cutting is the easy part! Pulling and prepping is the hard part then again I’m in the construction field and it can be intimidating for first timers! either way great job! 🎉
HHa thank you! It did take a long time to prep 😅 we have a whole video on it - a whole other beast. Wish you were around here when I did it lol! I learned from it though and appreciate your kind words!
Did you put the kiltz floor sealer waterproofing on your sub floor before you put your tiles down?
We didn’t! The plank is supposed to be waterproof, but now I’m super curious about that! Do a lot of the RV renos you watch do it? Thanks so much for the tip Tina! 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily I did it in my trailer..that way the subfloor is protected. Some of those tile boxes say it but still buckle
@@tinastheoutsider super interesting! Thank you!!! Watched your last vlog - looks like things are going well for you! I’m so glad to see having fun and smiling! 💕
You definitely made a mistake on the pattern unfortunately. All floor is supposed to be random. Other than that your did a great job
Thank you so much!
That floor looked good enough to kiss!
Haha thanks! After all that work it had to be done. I appreciate you watching and hope you’re doing well! 💕❤️
How is the floor holding up.
I also have a 253fbs , how many packs did you use and did you cover the metal pieces in the bedroom.looks great. I'm about to start my floor, already pulled all the vinal and carpet out.
We didn’t cover the metal pieces. The carpet was taken off of them and there was some daylight showing through so we used Big Gap Filler to close those gaps and left the metal black. I think we ended up using 15 packs. We are going to put some trip around it to make it look tidy. It’s holding up great! Please keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you have any questions!
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily greetings from Australia, love what you have done so far. Just watched the fireplace installation. My wife is envious. We purchased 2 hand. Have stripped out all the carpet and vinal. Have to fill the gaps yet. I have put a coat of primer on all the wood and walls. We are getting 400w solar a 3000w inverter charger, 520amp lithium and a dc/dc charger installed. The lounge and dinette had been removed by previous owners. I found a sofa bed that will fit the area and will install something in the slide out. We hope to have painting completed by years end. Next year flooring
@@brianfletcher5501 It sounds like we are doing something very similar! Are you planning on living in yours full-time? You must be so excited to travel around your beautiful country. We can't wait to visit one day!
