This is one of the most encouraging RV/5th wheel transformation vids I've come across. So many seem pretty unattainable, this made me feel like my husband and I really will be able to make simple changes in our future 5th wheel home to make it really comfortable and more modern looking without breaking the bank.

I don’t have an RV, just watched this for entertainment. I have to tell you how impressed I am with your talent and abilities! The finished product is absolutely beautiful! I am in awe of all the hard work you do.

Amazing! I was wondering why you left the bathroom counter original instead of putting more marble contact paper since the sink was replaced. You made all of this look so easy & professional. And the results are stunning! Thank you for sharing.

We were gifted an RV motorhome that is 25 years old, 73, 000 miles, with great bones and motor, etc. It too is dated from the oak, mauve and brass era and we just started reno yesterday! I also watched your previous RV reno too. Thanks so much for the inspiration. enjoy your channel!

We used the same products and process to paint our entire 5th wheel over 2yrs ago and it is holding up great. No issues with paint....very happy. Great video!

[lumptoast]

Lady, you have taste...period. I love how simple and affordable it is to add modern to RV's. Just cool!

Finally a RV reno that REALLY gives all the steps necessary for painting cabinets! Excited to see more RV organization and decorating videos in your new RV !
We own a 2019 28' toy hauler without slides that we use 2-3 weekends a month on average. My husband rides/races a dirt bike so we spend lots of weekends at MX tracks. I've been working on personalizing outta for 2 years. We bought a B&W checkered flag outdoor RV mat and I was originally going to decorate with lodge/cabin decor but decided to go B&W rustic farmhouse instead. It's so neutral that my husband doesn't feel like it's too girly and I use yellow, hints of red and blues to brighten it up. I've removed the heavy (ugly) valances and added curtain rods with curtains (softened and warmed it up so much)! I've added peel and stick tiles in the bathroom and B&W check wallpaper to several dark walls in the main area BUT still have decided on what to do for the wall over my sink and stovetop. I've purchased several options but can't decide. There is a window so there's actually very little wall space but it needs something...especially over the stovetop. Maybe even a 20×16 framed print since I only cook outdoorsnor use electric appliances. Also since it's such a small space the wood colored cabinets and 3 doors still make it feel so "cave-like". I love that color of wood for furniture in my home but didn't realize how overwhelming it would be in our RV. I know some people remove the doors but I have over the door hooks and organizers that are essential and we have guests throughout the day so we need the doors (1 for bathroom, 1 for bedroom, 1 for pantry). And they are ALL on 1 side of the camper. Now I'm trying to get up the nerve and find the time to paint. We live in north FL so the heat and humidity lasts most of the year. We also don't have anywhere to keep our RV hooked up to electric so that's another issue considering the humidity and time it takes to let each coat dry/cure. . I've been tempted to cover the doors in wallpaper but think the B&W checkered pattern would be too much even though the doors fall in between the wallpapered walls. Maybe a solid black or white? The floors are similar to yours so I've even considered a light gray barnwood wallpaper but afraid the texture next to to checkered wallpaper would be too much! I wish I could share photos so all of you could see my dilemma

We did a very similar DIY in our fifth wheel and I swear I smile every single time I walk in the door. I did the bottom cupboards and entertainment section black but white everywhere else. It was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding makeovers I've ever done. Now on rainy or cold days, I don't mind at all heading inside what I use to call the “cave”, now my happy place. You did an amazing job, congratulations. 😁

Absolutely beautiful!! The girls' bunk room was so depressing before the renovation but you turned that small dreary space into any little girl's dream room! Nicely done...and on a budget. HUGE round of applause for you my love!! -Hedy from KY, USA

[vaasnaad]

GREAT job! I completely agree with the splash of color in the master bedroom. It gives it dimension and warmth. I'm adding some dark to mine for the same reason!

[sachinsachin]

Oh my goodness, I was crying over how I am going to renovate my 2007 RV. Your work gives me a new inspiration and empowers me inside my heart. Thanks so much.

[joannicerthannew]

I recently stayed in a large, beautiful newish 2021 RV as an Airbnb. It was modern and lovely but your reno just takes up notch the standard RV look of even much newer RV. Love it! I hope your family loves it too when you are on the road.

[rising_waves]

Wow 🙌 what an amazing, gifted and pleasant woman

[wendykovach]

The RV looks amazing! I love the choice of colours, especially the darker colour in the bedroom! Thank you for inspiring us all 😀

[AfricanLissy]

Wow, your camper is beautiful! I really like the bold dark green look; it brings a lot of character to your space and you have enough white in the room so the dark color doesn't overpower it. Thanks for sharing your journey!

[ginagonzalez]

I love what you did with the design, looks like a real home. Excellent work!!!

[littlemel]

I'm so happy to find solid advice from someone in my own neck of the woods. Most folks on youtube don't have to worry about reno materials withstanding -35, but I sure do. Thank you for the inspiration!

[chocolate-eqjn]

You've done a fantastic job! This is one of the best DIY RV remodels I 've seen in quite a while. It 's an inspiration for some soon-to-be retirees, my husband and myself. But folks, here's the thing: Do it before you hit 60. Or maybe even 55. After 60, you'll really have to plan differently and go slowly, so you won't tire out!

[kristinalowe]

This is absolutely stunning! I love that you added the soft rose for the girls room and the dark green adds drama to the bedroom. The white is so fresh and really opens up the space. Your talent is amazing!! Great job!! 🌸🦋🌷

[reanablack]

I'm so happy I found your page, I'm truly inspired! My husband and I recently purchased a 1998 Travel Trailer. It's extremely dated but I look forward to remodeling it with your shared DIY tips and tricks.
