Camper Renovation on a Budget! (no money spent so far)

This week i started working on the interior of my 40 year old QEK Junior that i traded for an old Tracksaw last week.
My goal is to spend NO money on this project!
I found some great materials that were literally laying on the street...for free

Using the old sign for the cabinet doors and wood spool for flooring was a stroke of genius! This is why I subbed years ago. You’re so inventive with all of your projects and your happiness is quite contagious. ❤️

I haven’t got anything cool to offer you as a trade Laura other than my heart. I had a massive heart attack 5 weeks ago which made me realise how much I want to live and do things with my wife and finishing a camper to travel in would give us our dream. Thank you for all your inspiration and the pleasure you give us with everything you do.

It's going to be better than when it was new. Re-sawn wood for the floor was a nice idea, and those cabinet doors are gorgeous.

It's so nice to see how this project motivates all the different people in the comments to think out loud. We can all learn so much from each other! How nice that Laura's projects are like a little study tour on sustainability, recycling and appreciation of materials. Thank you all for your passion and love for such a great topic! Thank you Laura for your courage and straightness to make that Camper great again! 🤘😎

Love the whole ethos of reuse, upcycle and trading!

Coffee, campers, creativity, construction and controlled chaos.

Much love from Northwestern Pennsylvania!

I’m very impressed at how much items you are repurposing into the camper! I’m amazed at the work you have done! You are doing a great job!

I immediately thought of how awesome this would be as a podcast/music studio 😊😊😊 I seriously love your videos, I’m a soon to be engineer and your videos inspire me so much specially as a woman in a male dominated field, you inspire me to love what i do no matter what and not care what anybody says about it, so thank you for everything you do 💖💖💖

6:03 That look- satisfaction and joy. It's 50% of why I keep coming back to this channel. GOOD VIBES!

Love people that have vision and is not afraid of tackling any project. You are awesome!

[garryryan]

You have a remarkable talent for discovering the potential in recyclable materials.

There's something super liberating about using only the material at hand for a project while at the same time it gets the creative gears going at full torque. Love how its coming out! Mobile mini maker space?? 🤔 You could put an anvil on the hitch for a counterweight 😂

Perfect Laura project. It’s fascinating how much better it looked after you cleaned it up!

Here’s an old sewist tip: keep a dish with a magnet at hand when you’re pulling nails or staples from reclaimed wood. It will keep them corralled for safe disposal. You can buy a magnetic dish at an auto supply store or simply hot glue a magnet or two to the bottom of an old plate or dish. I use such a dish by my sewing machine to corral pins.

I love how you look at stuff and think this could be that, when I just see junk. The world needs more people like you.

Another cool project! LOVE the recycling, reusing model of building this out. Showing us how incredible something can be with “found” materials is really powerful. Thank you for the inspiration 😍

[colleenkidwell]

I LOVE that you repurpose discarded items. Everything you have done looks stellar!

[mariellecb]

What a transformation! I love it. And all on a zeuro budget. This makes good sense to me: more money can be dedicated to tools! I love the Ballistol idea - use it as a degreaser for the 40-year dreck that accumlates in the corner. I think it will be the new patchouli for maker women... :)

[colinlawrence]

Awesome video the fact that you a doing it with what you have at hand
should inspire everyone to get involved in some sort of project to keep active
As always God bless you and stay safe in these troubled times 🙋‍♂️🇬🇧

If anyone is going to thrive in an apocalypse situation, it's Laura...

[PeBoVision]

Your skills, vision, patience and perserverance are awe inspiring. I am truly envious.

Thank you for sharing your voyage.
