BUT! Most young couples with a small baby end up buying a house. And most likely that house is older. And anything older, needs a little lovin'. Our new home is no different.
The only difference for us is that at 24 feet, our house is MUCH cheaper to fix, clean and update.
Because of our unique requirements, a typical camper did not make sense. We have a baby, two dogs, a cat and two 20somethings to fit in this thing and make as comfortable as possible.
Right off the bat, we need a crib. Most campers don't have cribs! Most full-time RVers are retired or hippies or retired hippies. We are probably pretty unique. So we figured, "why buy an expensive camper when we'll have to rip stuff out to fit a baby area anyways?
This camper is like a blank canvas for us to make it our own.
Most important parts work: plumping and electrical. From there, 24 feet of remodeling space, shouldn't test our marriage too much.
First step: EXTERIOR BEFORE
She also needs a new door (previous owners attempted to make one), a new air conditioner (ours works, but it's old, dirty and loud), new tow lighting (ghetto rigged backwards and not working, again thanks to the previous owner), a new vent hood on the bathroom roof, a new stove damper on the side and relocation of water heater.
She also needs all stickers removed, a few little holes filled, to be lightly sanded and all window and door seals will be re-sealed with new exterior caulking.
Brittnie is also making stained glass looking windows for the beedroom area. I'm excited for that!
After the outside is done and painted, the hardest part will come...the 1980's interior update.
Stay tuned for posts during remodel!
