Came across your channel looking at how to renovate an older caravan. Just about to pick up an older model. We are both nearly 60 years old, never tired or had a caravan but so looking forward to it. Brilliant hack for the seat covers cushion ❤
the seat covers certainly improve the look, using velcro rather than glue would've made the covers removable for washing

Dead miffed that you didn't video the awning erection. One of our favourite pastimes on a caravan site, watching other campers struggle!! Looking forward to the caravan tour.

You want to see the mess I make of putting up my awning on my own. Its almost impossible. Needless to say, at present I am enjoying the extra light available without it.

Haha oh gosh there were no instructions it’s a good idea we didn’t film it 😩
Update: got the caravan 2 days ago and went to ikea and got some plain curtains in the same £12.50 a pair to recover the seats as you have done! 👍
The caravan looks beautiful, what a transformation! Hope your Mum has a great visit, enjoy! Looking forward to the grand tour next week. Have fun guys 👍
Bee, what I have seen so far, you have done an outstanding job on this renovation. Keep up the good work!
Your joy just leaps off the screen into my heart !!!!

That’s lovely!
So the lovely, if fake, wood look you hated, but the ugly cushions you thought "not too bad". Truly there are different views in the world.
Beautiful job Bea. Looking forward to seeing what you make of the sofa. Lovely place for an evening relax with your (own) olives and wine (that might be your own in another year!)
Yehhh finished - looking forward to the grand show round - Bee I'm sure your mum is loving it !! Good job both - Chris & Marianne 👍😀🚐💚🌴
I have just watched your USA series, and your videos about buying your land.Previously I didn't realise how big it is. It looks fabulous. Well done!
I love the handles. I have just got a caravan which I haven't actually seen yet but my sister wouldn't have got it if it had been horrible. I love your handles and I will be nicking that idea. I can't wait to watch the rest. I started watching and then only remembered when my sister told me about the one she got for me....I am excited! If it turns out good I will post it either here or pictures on Instagram. Then you can see all the copying I did...no really I love the handles but have my own ideas. Having said that, I still want to see what you did! I am really enjoying this!
You did a good job on the caravan. I’m looking forward to the big reveal. Sofa on the roof rack was like Alabama engineering. Happy Camping
I think that maybe the nicest part of getting the caravan for y'all is that you can get rid of all those spare odds and ends from other projects gone!

What an awesome job! And a great place for guests to stay!
Loved that. The sofa looks clean, sharp and tidy UNTIL Theo sat on it... Then for some reason it looked untidy and not so clean. LOL Joking Theo... love ya really
Very nice! I need to watch the big reveal now 🤗
Hope your mum has a great holiday and looking forward to the big reveal ,
Brilliant job! That caravan is looking great!
That caravan looks better than some apartements I've loved in, better than most hotel rooms I've stayed in in London too! LOL Still loving your work, amazing work. Love from Sweden!
You have done a great job on the caravan guys keep up the good work. 👍
Good job Bee looking good! Assume you know the smaller cushions go at the front near the centre chest to make making the double bed up much quicker/easier.

Nope had no idea! Thanks for the tip 👍
Nice work on the caravan! How permanent is its location? If it's going out at any point are you going to shade the tires, erm, *tyres* (sorry, American... 🙄) to prevent UV damage? If it's not going to move again, it may be wise to put the frame on jack stands. If the tyres fail while the stabilizers are deployed they will likely be damaged; they aren't meant to support the weight. Nice renovation work! You mentioned the negative comments previously, but personally I love the color -- *colour*! 😉

I think lots of people just liked it as it was originally.
I take it all back when I said the original didn’t look like it needed changing. It looks so stylish, modern , bright and breezy. When you started painting the cupboards white I was exhausted just watching you because of the amount of time it would take to complete but it looks brilliant. Do another video of it all complete and what it looks like with the bed pulled out. Also would you when no family and friends are staying use it as an office and use the van just for the kitchen and bedroom?
I luv the look of the gray fabric as it really updates the van, however, I can't believe gluing the fabric will last any time at all. I'll be anxious to see if I'm right or wrong. Great caravan tho'..... wish it were mine!
Been so excited for this video
Does anyone know how you would be able to clean the cushions, I’ve just purchased a caravan and the cushions need cleaning
Those cushions look bloody awesome. Mine are just foam slabs with fabric glued all around. Yours look to have a contour...good show. Sorry for my bad British typing.
Great look!! Love the blue.
What make is your awning? Have ou link for it,x
Love it Bea!

That has turned out quite well. I'm not keen on painting a caravan interior but you made it work. Have you considered laying down pallets in the awning and boarding it out? I saw it on another caravan channel. It might be worth considering.
Awesome job 👏🏼

Nice job with the caravan ! I have been dying to know how the olives turned out. After watching you making them it put me on an olive kick and I’ve probably eaten About five jars heh
Moving itself is WILD!!!
Very nice
Looks epic, however I don't think glueing the covers was a good plan. What happens when they get dirty as indeed they will? If you are short on fabric and cannot make full covers, then wide elastic straps with buttons and buttonholes, or the dreaded velcro, would secure them well at the underside and enable them to be easily washed.

Nice one guys coming together u will soon hav a mini camp site site soon with all these out buildings popping up hav u nearly finish your outdoor bathroom hut looks like u having fun there .kev
How many packs of the IKEA curtains did you need? I'm guessing more than one. If so, how much fabric was left over from the other pack? Looks great BTW. Giving me tons more ideas for my van revamp. Xx
Such a massive amount of hard work put into this and it looks amazing. I’m slightly concerned that although the handles look great, I think they are going to get grubby fairly quickly.

Nice job what was the colour called on seat base
Only downside of glueing the covers, is that you can't take them off to wash? Otherwise all looks great.
I thought that saw sound in the background was Theo snoring. 😴 Just kidding. 😆
Wish I were there to make you some zippered slip covers.
Looks amazing...Say hi to Mom

Told you they were nice. 😃😄 Great with tan. Curtains/drapes? What a super idea!! If the cushions have wood on the bottom, you could use a staple gun on the fabric (cloth) to the frame on the bottom to make it tight. I reupholstered several bits of furniture that way. Came out nice and tight. Looks great. You are genius, Miss Bee. Drapes are much cheaper than cloth or a reupholsterer. Your van came out awesome, though. Loved it. Could use drapes on the leather futon couch, after taping it together, too. Love the awesome awning. It looks screened in, is it? Soo clever, all of it. Love you two, am dying to see it all finished.
Love all that you have done!!!! The handles, cushions and colors.

Why ?i still think they ruined it. But each to their own (which I said originally) Why is it some sort of crime to not like something ? It’s not like my opinion matters
You've ruined a nice caravan, looked better before and its now worth half its original value. Each to their own I suppose.

Been watching for while now. Be you are such a Sweet gal. Not sure how to spell T name so just put T. You 2 make such a good couple. Always Smileing. A hint for the Sofa. Strip the tares with the Gray Duck tape. Then do the same thing on other end. Get the Laytex paint. Then Paint the whole Sofa. Let it dry good and enjoy it. I have done it and know it works. You can even paint on Material chairs. Be sure to let me know if it workes for you. Jane Green from America. Oklahoma City. Oklahoma. I am going to be 67 in July so i have had to take secondhand things and make them nice fot my home. I am on facebook. Elizabeth Jane Baugh Green. My mom was Beatrice she was called Bo. Dont know why instead of Be. I go by Jane. Love the Camp trailor make over. Over here a caravan is a Car, like a Stationwagon. Or like what you are living in. Be blessed. Jane
