Camper Renovation - Oh You Know, The Usual

Guess what? It's Christmas-time around here. More or less anyway. My mom's decorated her house all ho-ho-ho... we have a string of white lights in our room. I've been cutting out snowflakes galore (right now I'm just hoarding them in a box.) Today seems like a good day to put up our vintage tree.  And it looks like my Christmas present may be getting to start painting and decorating Camperrrr. Not quite, but maybe.

So before I go all holidays up in here we need to get this camper show on the road...



Just messin' with the outer skin. You know, the usual.




Yep.  Totally camper ready.



Put up paneling, take down paneling.  It happens.



More fun cleaning up old silicone. Yayyyyy.



More camper renovation posts to come!

  2. My husband and I did a 1977 Holiday Rambler. We replaced almost every stud, one by one so as to not lose the shape. Some of the studs we just vacuumed out with the shop vac, they were so rotted! It was tedious, but we love our camper!

  6. thanks for the inspiration ...we just started this process of tearing all inside walls out of a 1995 Dutchmen with a double slide out... If it wasn't for pinterest and all the amazing posts, I don't know that I could see the end result. Thank you for all the posts. Keep the pictures coming please

  7. I am redoing a 71 Shasta currently. I decided to just replace the Butyl tape and repair all seams. I replaced all water damaged areas with a thin venneer of pine beetle kill millings and am going to turn it into a faux log cabin with some scraps from a mill.

  10. You're very welcome Denise! I need to show an update of the interior soon. So excited to hear about your Dutchmen - it will look great I am sure! Jealous of the double slide out ;) And I totally hear you it is hard to imagine the end result sometimes (including if it will go back together lol) Have fun!
