Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Take a tour of our remodeled motorhome (links to items below), and check out all the things we did ourselves! We renovated a 2004 Jayco Granite Ridge 3100SS Class C RV. The Class C was a great fit for us, because we can tow our Jeep! We are all about DIY projects that allow us to BE FREE! #BeFreeBenson #rvdiy #classc #rvremodel #rvlife #rvaccessories

I bought a 5th wheel to live in full time just ove a month ago. Will be starring my reno soon. Gotta recoup my funds from the purchase. Love your style. Very similar to what I'll be doing. Thanks for the slide out carpet tip.

I’m a new subscriber. I enjoyed seeing your Class C renovation and ideas. I’m 69 and hubby 80 and we are considering buying a Class C to live in full time. I love the idea of using strippable sticking wall paper to make it cozy. I had that idea this week and then saw your video. Thanks so much. I’m saving your video so that I can review it when our time comes to move. This is our working up to year plan. I also started a KZread channel “CounselorSue - Creativity & Living Life” I’m new to all of this so learning and doing. One of our videos got a lot of interest “Two Seniors Camping” which surprised us. Cheers.

@@befreebensondiy Thank you so much for subscribing. One day I hope to have enough subscribers to supplement our senior income. We both were self employed most of our years and don’t have a company pension, just our government senior pensions, so living simply in a Class C might be a little more manageable and hopefully we’ll be able to one day supplement our income with our channel. Once again, thanks so much for your support. Stanley was born in Belfast, became an electrician, practiced there, came to Canada when he was 21 and eventually got his Canadian licence to be an electrician here. I mentioned your channel to him, about adding electrical receptacles and he was quite interested, naturally. Cheers!
I love this, you did a great job and I also love how simply you did it! I want to move my family into an RV, but hate all the outdated looks they come with. Great video.

This was a great video and your cottage is lovely 🌹 When you painted the walls and cabinets did you sand them first or just clean?
@befreebensondiy

I have done it both ways on several different campers. I have used sand paper, also liquid sand paper and have just cleaned it well. Some form of sanding works best for long term use and maintaining the best finish. Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching!!!
You both did a great job with the upgrades. I'm looking for an older class c rv, there out there I just haven't been lucky to find the right one. That granite model is just what I'm looking for. Safe travels, and be healthy. Toledo.

Wow!! Looks amazing! I need more info on the painting process please. Did you sand? And what paint did you use? I’ve heard many horror stories about peeling paint etc .. thanks in advance!
@befreebensondiy

You can sand, you can use a chemical sanding agent, or you can just use primer. Depending on the surface. I would recommend either sanding or using the chemical agent if your doing cabinets, but also priming with Kilz original. Then I used the Behr cabinet and trim paint. I would recommend thinning it just a little if using a sprayer. Thanks for watching!!!
I love it. I got overwhelmed but you just made me decide to kerp mine. Lol thank you it's freaking beautiful. Mine us an 89 26 ft but I do love it. It n3eds to be upgraded ive done some. But it also needs soem.water damage fixed that ya can't see well but I thunk caused more than one would see and it's frustrating to try to figure out where to start by yourself. But thai helped me alot just making the right decision for me. I love the name. It's so perfect happy and safe travels

Does the engine have to be continually running while occupying the van?
@befreebensondiy
7 ай бұрын
No. Lights will run of the RV battery (separate from the engine battery) until it dies. The fridge can run on propane and the battery. It also has a gas generator that can run all of the electric system using gas from the main gas tank. Once below 1/4 of a tank the generator will shut off to keep you from running out of gas completely. Thanks so much for watching!!!
What great improvements and updates to your Motorhome. We have a 2003 and we are looking at updating it. It’s in excellent condition but outdated. How long did it take you?

Thanks so much! We tend to get really focused and work around the clock (whenever we weren’t at our day job), so I would say about 2 weeks. It’s so much fun to do…take lots of pics and video if you do it! We would love to see it!
I need one of these but cant afford one.
