It'll be here soon- the toughest part was waiting for the paint to dry. Sounds super exciting I'm sure but because of the humidity, it took a LONG time.

RV renovation takes so much more labor, time and energy than is showed on video, imagine what you don't see! I'm renovating a 1993 fleetwood bounder Class C RV starting with a complete roof tear off replacing ALL vents and covers ugh. I also show how I resolved issues from the factory which should help so many others trying to deal with challenges like that. I'm renovation this all by myself which makes it takes longer and way more challenging! I respect ALL the great effort you did and share with us!!

You two are so funny...Finn, putting on her glove saying 'We're going In'....instantly reminded me of when I was a child, following my brother down to a farm with horses. There happened to be a vet there, with a BIG glove on, and he was 'Going In' to turn the wee one from the pregnant mare! He was up to his armpit of course...and as a child you wonder 'what the heck is wrong with that horse!' Anyway....all that work to the motorhome, and now it's gone....but you left us all with some wonderful memories Tim/Allison!

My husband and I have been watching y’all for months now and it has been so fun!

The RV looks amazing! I love the black and white you've got going and the turquoise you used in the bathroom. Can't wait to see more of it!! :D

Looks awesome, guys! We're enjoying following along on your new adventure!

This is awesome! My fiancé and I are about to get an RV, renovate it and live full time so this was great motivation!!

Yes! "We saw it on Mountain Modern Life and it looked gorgeous!" I saw their kitchen and those were my thoughts exactly, as we're getting ready to reno our RV. Y'all did a great job! :)

Great job guys with the renovation. There’s nothings like the satisfaction you fell when it’s a job well done.

You guys are redoing your kitchen lmfao that part literally laughed out loud

Great job with the RV renovation! I look forward to hearing how your trip goes!

Can't wait for the full tour!

fun to see the changes, we are renovating our RV and bus conversion. love your paint choices! you are so adorable Fin! it makes it fun to watch.

Fin is adorable so that's why I had to keep dating her until she agreed to marry me. Have to give a big shoutout to Mountain Modern Life for all our design stuff. We've talked to them a bit in the past and they know how shamelessly "inspired" we were by their renovation. The black kitchen cabinets DO pick up quite a share of dust though!

I hope you like it as well as I do! where you are is home! Plus you have the option to move anytime! Good luck !

Great vid. I really appreciate it at this moment. We had a big RV upgrade purchase fall through yesterday and had to drive back across a few states to take the 4 sale sign off of our previous RV. After a full car ride and night of sulking we woke up inspired to completely redo our RV including something already named "SuperCouch!" Watching your vid made me feel good about what we are doing and even added a twinge of excitement. Lemonade out of Lemons I suppose but I thank you! We plan on making a vid of the whole debacle and Reno. I hope it's 1/2 as good and inspiring as yours. Thanks again! =)

Every hour of painting deserves a beer/wine/tequila shot in my opinion guys 🍻😂 Absolutely outstanding effort by the way! Paint came out sensational on my iPad 😉❤️

this is nice thanks for this video. I am looking for a truck camper and obviously the old ones are cheap and I am looking to do the same thing.

Anthony- the painting took FOREVER. Florida humidity meant it took a long time for everything to dry properly. The rest of the renovation was really figuring out wood, hardware, sewing curtains, cleaning (SO MUCH CLEANING).

Hi! Looks amazing! Could you share the brand and name of the oaintb you've used for the black cabinets? And the black cabinets pulls!? Ive loved wvery single detail in your reno! Thank you for sharing!

Congrats! Renovations look great. :) My husband and I are starting ours this weekend to prep for full-time travel as we run my business from the road, and we're actually doing a a similar color scheme with the black/white! Did you have any problems with strong paint/primer fumes or smell while painting? We are planning on opening up all the windows/doors while we work, but wondering if it's worth getting some respirator masks since it's a really small space!

Hi Jordan! Congrats on the recent purchase- see that you might have just got it in the past couple days since your video is from two days ago? No problems with paint/primer fumes when painting at all. All of the paint we used was latex- so no strong spirits or oils to make it terrible in there. We were really fine with just having all the windows/doors open while we worked and we ran a box fan in addition to the RV house fan at night to help ventilate- but more so to help things dry faster. I think we mentioned it in this video but our biggest challenge was waiting for things to dry properly between coats. It took 2-3 coats of primer and 2-3 coats of paint on everything, in addition to acrylic sealer that we put on the cabinets for a final coat. We tried to rush things on the bathroom cabinets and ended up having to strip off paint and start over because it would have never dried! (might have been that Florida humidity though) I truly wish you and your husband the best of luck on the upcoming renovation. Its good to know going in that it's a complete PITA and make the most of it.

I love your Video so happy family. Impressively, beautiful & informative. I think black is a dark color?

Even seeing what the inside of a lot of modern RV's look like brand new off the lot, it feels like the same person has been in charge of the interiors for 60 years. That is, unless you've got that "Imported Italian marble heated floor" money for a RV- which we don't!

Giani Granite avail on amazon. There are different colors available too! We thought the rustoleum brand was just too expensive for the small amount we needed to do. It's holding up really well so far- I guess we'll know in about a year how durable it is. We did three layers of topcoat

Any idea about how much weight the paint added? Did you compensate for that weight somewhere else?

have been looking for a sectional like you installed, where did you get it? What are the dimensions?

Hey! We got the sofa from Ikea ( I feel like everyone does for these renos...) We didn't use the lounger siderest- it was taking up four precious inches in the slider and doesn't feel necessary. We're super happy with the couch right now though and glad we picked this one. It's big enough that we've occasionally had people sleep on just the couch part without even using the pull out bed.

Upvoted for the shoutout to Mountain Modern Life.

Paint RV cabinets in JUST 2 Months !

We just bought an RV and want to paint as well. Everyone says it takes a long time, but how long? My husband and I plan to take off a month to work on the RV reno full time. We'd had a week in mind to take care of all the painting. Is that realistic? We'll be in FL doing the reno as well. Also, did you do the floors? We've seen several different comments on taking up the carpet and replacing with hardwood, and vinyl. Any tips on that? We have a slide that we're a little concerned with making taking up the carpet, and not sure if the hardwoods will be to thick for the slide to work. You've done such a great job!!!! BTW, we're living abroad in Kyrgyzstan, so the timing is hard to estimate as we're not in the US to take measurements ect...trying to plan all this in advance is a little challenging! Many thanks for your tips!

Here's the thing with painting an RV just in my experience. I had the same knee jerk "How long could it take?" reaction to all these videos complaining about painting taking forever. If you're planning on painting white, you need to do two coats of primer, 2-3 coats of paint, and a coat of acrylic sealant so everything doesn't chip right away. That in itself isn't terrible. The bigger thing is patience- you need to let the paint dry enough otherwise it gets that tacky feeling and will have it for a REALLY. LONG. TIME. We tried to give our primer at least 24-48 hours between coats and the paint sometimes needed 3 days to dry adequately. Some of this might be due to the FLorida humidity. We bought the RV with the original carpeting torn out of the main floor and replaced with a nice vinyl interlocking floor. The slide works great over the floor but is leaving very small scratches from the in and out motion where the rollers from he slider sit on top of the floor. It's totally up to the individual but I would skip putting real wood in a camper- with the temp changes and the abuse they take I think real wood would be a lot more work. Just our two cents!
