If you missed when I painted this camper's exterior, you're in luck because I will be doing it again to camper 2.0 in the spring/summer. If you can't wait till then, luckily, I already have a step-by-step blog post on my website. It should answer any questions about products, paint prep, and costs.

I'm also a firm believer that you can successfully paint anything and have it hold up over time, BUT it requires the proper paint prep and products for your application.

Let's talk shiplap. I'm not one of those people that recommends putting real shiplap over walls in a camper for decorative purposes. It can add unnecessary weight, and with an RV renovation, you always need to keep weight in mind. My go-to option to get the shiplap look is simply @sharpie. It adds no extra weight but gives you the same look.

Another relatively lightweight option is to rip down 1/8" plywood into strips. Just be mindful of areas that have wires ran up the walls. You do not want to put a nail or staple in them! A stud finder can help detect live wires.

*Swipe to see water damage repair* The total cost

*Swipe to see water damage repair* The total cost of materials for camper #2 water damage repair came to $617. Like camper #1, I'm keeping track of all the expenses for each renovation aspect and sharing it with you all. I hope it comes in handy to help budget for your renovation! Also, this is my proposed design for the entertainment center. 😊

You can find the link to the expense report on my blog. It also includes links to all the materials I used for those wondering. AND I have a highlight saved labeled “water damage” that has some helpful info too.

As much as you all love renovated RV interior phot

As much as you all love renovated RV interior photos, the exterior should get some love too. A well-maintained exterior will ensure the interior stays nice and dry for years to come. So friendly reminder, inspect the outside seals for any cracks/gaps in the caulk and check the lap sealant on your roof. The tiniest of a crack can cause a slow leak, and we all know what a nightmare that can be if you don't catch it in time!

Some other maintenance-related things you can do yourself annually are to lubricate your slide gear mechanism and tracks, condition the rubber bulb seals and wipers, and give the roof an excellent scrub. It will thank you. =)

“If you give a person a fish, you feed them for

“If you give a person a fish, you feed them for a day. If you teach them to fish, you feed them for a lifetime.” That proverb is the sole purpose in which this account is based on. I believe it’s more beneficial to teach a person how to do something rather than to do it for them. So, that’s why I’ve been slowly creating DIY blog posts to teach you how to renovate your own RV. I also offer all this information to you for free! 🙌

If you do decide to tackle renovating your own RV, please know that it is an entirely different animal than home renovations. Many times you’ll need to make design sacrifices because of weight, not all products work well in temperature fluctuations, and you’ll need to construct things in a different manner to hold up while going down the road.

All that being said, each blog post has helpful tips and recommended products so you can successfully renovate your own RV. Plus, my website also has links to everything in this camper. 😊

Swipe to transform my models sleeping arrangements

Swipe to transform my models sleeping arrangements. In my opinion, the fold up bunk beds are the best feature of this camper. Since Drey will literally nest anywhere fluffy the second you turn your back, having the beds fold up eliminates any risk of muddy paws on my nice white @beddys 😌 Fun fact: The definition of Drey is “a nest of a squirrel”. As a puppy he would squirrel into a backpack and create a nest to sleep, so that’s how his name originated.

Have you been following along with my stories for the renovation of camper 2? If not, I am happy to announce that all water damage repair is finally complete! Now I can finally start building the fun stuff. 🎉 Also, my blog post for “How to Repair Slideout Floor Water Damage” is now live and I’ve been saving some of the repair process in the “Water Damage” highlight for those interested. 😊

PSA: My model and I are still alive and well! If you noticed that we’ve been a bit MIA lately it’s because we’ve been right here in this office for over 60+ hrs/week. Since the camper renovation is a big expense, I’ve had to pick up some extra work to fund the renovation. BUT don’t you worry, I’ll be back full steam ahead on the camper after the holidays!

Then once the camper is complete, this office will be getting renovated. After spending so much time in here, my gears are spinning on how to redesign it. In the meantime, I got a @vmathome mat to add some texture to the space. Who knew there was a company out there that makes vinyl mats that look like regular rugs?! With the dogs constantly in and out of my office, a real rug just isn’t a good option for me. This mat can be cleaned easily, plus my office chair wheels don’t get stuck on it! Also, they’re made in the USA. 😌
