Color Change! We're Painting The Camper // Tacoma Truck Camper Reno #5

After much debate we've decided to revamp the outside of the camper and paint its crusty white exterior in a more modern grey. Join us as we enter a prison of paint and spend far too long figuring out how to paint the camper. Can we paint ourselves out of this corner? Or will our dreams be crushed under the paint roller?

[Brendandayfilms]

Did you add any kind of clear coat layer to seal the paint?

For you water pump, checkout battery powered water pumps on amazon. Typically used on 5 gallon barrels.

Have thought about a Foot pump for our camper also.

My dad bought an old boat one year and we spent a whole summer taking it apart, stripping all the paint off all the mahogany, and varnishing the whole thing. It was a long, painstakingly project that just never seemed to end. When it was all done, it looked almost brand new. Watching these videos is reminding me a lot of that project and I can certainly tell you that I can appreciate the work you are doing to disassemble, clean up what has been neglected, and put humpty dumpty back together again. Thanks for sharing these videos and I look forward to the next one.

Watched this a few times. Thanks for making and sharing this video. I have the same camper!
Hey...I was wondering what you used to prep and paint your window 'outers', meaning how did you get white vinyl window edges to be black? What products did you use and how have they held up?

[Jmisslyn]

Holy Cow !! the plastic bag idea is genius for the spray paint !!!! I have a 2004 Sunlight and I just purchased this weekend...Just started cleaning up and look forward to watching what you are doing !!!

[CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Wow! It's coming along nicely! I really like the paint color. You two are doing a great job.

[dertodesking]

[notquiteultralight]

That was an awesome rusty west impression!!!

Seeing more of the pop up campers ..have always loved this idea. Just didnt work for our deal. I still like the simpler the better
So solar shower for you. I bring our solar shower and will use it for dishes too. Were not as energy efficient as your out fit ..but love the freedom of staying out for a couple weeks at a time . As long as the feed n water last for the horses. Enjoying your reno journey always get ideas from others projects. Thanks for videoing🤠

Outstanding! Renovation or restoration, I can see tons of thought went into all aspects, better to get it perfect while in "dry dock" I think I see the direction you are going with power since we saw the Jackery teaser (think it was on your Insta) 1K watt? and reducing propane plumbing to just stove 👍 I see more and more van-dwellers going to Diesel heater for Heating. Like as in backpacking I wonder how much weight was shed during this process? Bonus point to Tara for the Hair flip. 😂🤣

Manual water pump? Heck yeah, keep it simple

"Because we forgot to take a before shot." Hah! I feel ya. I am looking forward and at the same time, SO not looking forward to painting the camper. Marine 303 works well for vinyl waterproofing as well.

Magnificent, gotta say I wasn't sure about grey until I saw you put it on, looks super duper :D

[Jmisslyn]

How did you paint the plastic trim piece around the door window ?
