- It’s Part 2 of renovations on our vintage RV and while it’s been pretty stressful, I think we’re finally getting the hang of things! 😅😂 It might have taken us way longer than planned, but we managed to get most of the overhead cab (aka our future bedroom) framed out with beautiful, rot-free wood! Overall, we’re pretty proud of ourselves with how it’s turned out so far. 😍

We're Eric & Allison and we're on a journey to find the most interesting places and unique foods this planet has to offer! We've traded in our steady paychecks and permanent home for a life of travel and adventure. Come along and see the world with us!
It feels like we’re finally starting to get somewhere with this RV restoration! *Watch more RV videos here* 🎥 czcams.com/play/PL29AtJe_IGx_hb6wCY5-xyznc0A74vO7M.html
Luv your channel!!! You guys are fun to hang out with :)
You are so good at building! That framing is fantastic!
Love watching you!
/Sara in Sweden 😊
Love this, love seeing the journey
Loving your renovation videos! X
Great job . Are you giving the camper van a re-spray. it would look good with a fresh coat of paint
It’s amazing how every CZcams couples travelers channels is doing and rebuilding their new vans.
Fly Sky yes Eamon and Bec,Trent and Allie are building a new little house too!
I would have build installation so the car would be winter proof.
For the exterior aluminum what you really want are rivets, not staples. Rivets can go through the existing holes while staples will make 2 new holes. Less holes are always better.
I think staples will rust too.
Stainless steel rivets would be the best.
Ask Coachmen how you can do it properly.
Yes to rivets!
Never tried rivets into wood , I used galavanized staples into pressure treated wood, I had to rebuild the overhead on a coachman also
The front overhang window? Get some aluminum and cover that hole up! I wish I would have done that on mine! That window takes road debris and high wind and always leaked or broke. At some point, most Class C builders just stopped putting windows there! Cover it up and move on.....
Agreed!!
Darn good point! No need for a window there at all.
I was saying that during the video. The window is angled perfectly for ultimate failure. A new piece of metal and and some matching paint will make future inevitable leaks not possible.
I was thinking the same, cover it.
Ahhh fingers crossed the bad weather clears up soon! Such a massive journey guys, loving watching the progress! 🙌
Laying on my couch with Coronavirus and this video made me so happy. I love you guys, thanks for always being such a positive influence❤️
Get well soon!
Hope you are better soon!
meganhodges, too bad they didn't wear masks in the store where they bought the pneumatic stapler. Not positive at all. Sad that they both wore masks during the demo, but NOT going out in public.
BTW, the snowflakes that responded to my post - Did any of you go to the BOK Center on Saturday in Tulsa?
BAAAAHHHAAAHHHAA
smtpgirl care more about their own lungs I guess. Not so much others.
@@smtpgirl keep drinking that kool aid . . You'll learn one day
You have officially invested into a money pit! However, life is an adventure!! Enjoy the fruits of your labor!👏
Agreed. Fair enough if they were going to restore it, but looks like they are just renovating it. They probably think it's just like doing up an old home. It's going to be a disaster
I love these videos, you two! It's like "This Old RV" (as in "This Old House"). You're learning so much and you're doing a great job! Stick with it!
Everytme Eric says "whoopsie" I close my eyes!
😂🤣🙏LOL
LoL
The thing I like about you guys is that you're really positive about fixing this RV up, sorting the rotten wood, old sealant etc etc. So many resto projects I've seen have made it look so hard and frustrating to do this sort of work. You guys are just powering through it with such a positive attitude, it's lovely. :-)
My dad just hated those covers. Inside humidity is always a big problem when you RV. Fun story and thank you.
Endless adventure seems like an endless budget and hard work!
Love these videos 👍
You could just block off the front window, if you can find matching aluminum. It is a sleeping area so you don't need a window, but if you do go for a replacement window, to stop it leaking in the future make sure you seal it, seal it again and seal it one more time just to be sure. When you're driving that area gets all the weather thrown at it.
Genial Harry Grout gotta have a window up there...if I absolutely had to sleep up there a window is a must. Just thinking about it shoots my claustrophobia sky high.
@@Elizabeth-rq1vi Def a claustrophobia potential without the window. My husband wants to remove.. no no no
My RV has a front window, and I would be more than willing to eliminate that front window and just use the two side vents.
Was just watching an old vlog then this popped up yay!!!! My whole family loves watching you guys.
So satisfying when all the old trash is taken away 😀
It's coming along nicely!
I don’t know what I’m more excited for, your renovation or the adventures you guys have! I absolutely love how far you’ve got so far! She’s beautiful 🥰
Thanks, Zoe! We're having a blast and learning so much! We can't wait to finally be done with the cab and move on the rest of the RV. Although, I'm sure we'll come across a whole new slew of problems back there 😅
You have gave me the confidence I need to start on my 88 ford Econoline. Saving all winter to start in the spring. Watching all ur old videos for loads of help😊ty so much for sharing ❤❤❤
You guys rock. We bought a 1977 Winnebago Brave three years ago and had a blast restoring her. Hang in there when you hit the unexpected problems. Remember, the renovation is part of the adventure. Keep the RV videos coming.
Can't wait! Loving this reno! It's brilliant watching it unfold. Roll on pt3 🥰
Such an ambitious project! Love watching this process and I can’t wait to see the result! Looking forward to future videos of you traveling the country in your RV.
So stoked about this whole adventure!!!
Who else feels the same way!? You're brightening up my 2020!
Love this! Thanks, Chris 🙌
I'm happy you two were able to pivot and continue living the adventure. I'm loving the RV renovation and look forward to all your travel adventures here in the states.
Loving your new videos. Very different from what we’re used to. Thank you for taking us along your new journey. Keep them coming!
Thanks for sharing your reno with us! You too are amazing. Have fun on your local adventure!!!!
I've been waiting for this video, yay! Can't wait to see how it turns out, you're smashing it! :)
Two very useful brothers. One is very handy and one brings beer 😊.
1:58 Try not to stand directly behind the wood you're pushing through a table saw!
Use a pusher stick always...
That too
Good advice. I remember the bruise I picked up when one half of the piece I sawed came straight back at me .
Yes! Google/CZcams tablesaw kickback and UNDERSTAND THIS!
"Watch yourself on that table saw! She'll kick back on ya. HEY. (holds up a hand with a finger missing) I'm not Effing around here!" Tim Allen bit about a shop class teacher.
Great Job!!! I am so glad that you gave a shot of the progress inside too. Looking forward to new videos!
Love watching these videos. I love seeing old things recycled and cleaned up!
I have been watching you guys for a long time now and I must say that it has been very entertaining. Your travel and food experiences have been very enjoyable and informative to watch. To be able to travel and enjoy the hospitality that other countries have to offer is a wonderful thing. If you ever find yourself back in Wales please drop me a line. I would love to show you some of the sites that my little corner of Wales has to offer. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing the RV completion. Stay safe and well.
Thanks so much for the message and offer, Dyllan! We definitely hope to get back to Wales soon 🙌
What a lot of work you guys put into it so far, you have my admiration!😍 Can't wait till it's all done ☺️ and watch your continuing Adventures🏕️🚙
you are doing such a good job, really enjoying seeing your achievements
Can’t wait to see the finished result. It’s looking good so far and I’m genuinely impressed by the work you’ve pout in.
these are great videos. watching you two remodeling the RV, learning what can be done. Thank you
Watching you renovate such an old and worn out RV gives me confidence to work on mine! It's not even that damaged and old!
LOVE these videos. You guys inspire me so much. Thanks for sharing your adventure with this old RV.
I love the exterior paint stripes! Please keep them!!
Don't worry! The current paint job is our favorite part. 🧡Even if we do repaint or do some touchups, we'll be keeping the stripes 🙌
The Endless Adventure yay glad to hear!
Great to see the progress of the RV. Can't wait to see you guys back on the road again
I am enjoying you young folks very much! Inspiring the WORLD!
Ok I LOVE this series. Can't wait for part 3!!
Ok I just want to hang out with you guys, and be friends!! You guys are so positive, and happy!
You are good in the wood shop! Cannot wait to see the finished product!
Be really proud of yourself guys, doing a awesome job 👍😎
Times are hard. Thank you for keeping to work. I enjoy whatever it is. We own a food truck in Kansas, We too have found new ways to make it work. We cut our cable ... gosh 10 years ago. So we enjoy whatever you put out.
Just keep at it! Those 1970's RV's are getting few and far between! Semper Fidelis
Interesting Latin. My RM son trained with you chaps in West Virginia.
Cool project can't wait to see it finished.
Love it that you call it 'vintage', I'm as old / young at 'The Old Girl'. I prefer to think of myself as 'retro'!
AH! I love this series!
I’m so happy I found you guys the last few weeks. I am now going back and watching all of your adventures. Love what you do. Thanks for doing the RV. I only wish you would take a middle-age lady along on your tips with you. Let me know if you’re interested.
Y’all I’m super impressed with the work you’ve done! It’s looking so great! Love watching these videos!
Looking good! Thanks for taking us along with u and your bros!
A completely different adventure for you guys, good luck!
Thanks for the tips. Just brought our 1993 class c motorhome. Excited to do some updates and remodeling. And of course travel in it!
Y'all are so brave venturing into the unknown!
I’m impressed with all that you two are doing to get your RV in good shape. Lookin good!
I told you it was from Christmas Vacation-Money Pit. Have fun

This is exciting.’I can’t wait to see it finished.
I love the RV restoration videos, amazing
So excited for you guys, and amazing work on tackling this yourself!! You guys are seriously under subcribed. Can't wait tomsee the end results.
Great work guys!!! That RV is a beauty!!!
You sound like Link, from good mythical morning in some moments! This is a new movement! 😂🤍💛
As I sit here munching on beef chilli, my phone goes bing, new video of my favourite youtubers, I am intrigued to see each step of progress.
I'm loving these RV videos guys! 🤗
Y'all are doing a great job! I hope your replacement window comes in quickly!
So excited to watch you bring new life to the Coachman.
Wow I have to say that is sooooo much work. But so much to be proud of as you finish each step.-Shawna🍁
As someone who has trouble assembling IKEA furniture, I find your efforts hilarious. Thanks for having a sense of humor about your project. It's really fun to watch!
Way to go you guys! Taking on a conversion is not easy! We started our skoolie in September and thought we would be done in February! The other day we made a list of all the things we still want to do until we roll out into the wild. We still have 70 things on our list! Lol! Wishing you guys so much fun, adventure and acquired new skills! You will be sooo much more proud of this project than you could ever imagine! The bond Brian + I are creating through this journey is amazing as well! You’ve already travelled together, if you can get through this together... you really will be indestructible! Hehe big love adventure friends! Erin + Brian too
At my place when rain is predicted in news... the rain never comes. Its like rain follows news more than us. It just does the opposite of what is predicted in news.
Well done guys 👍 bring on more RV renovation! Always watch you guy
I am so impressed with you guys. It looks like that RV is going to be better than new when you finish.
Wow what a job you guys have had going on! Looks like you guys are doing a great though! Can't wait to see the finished project!
I'm really impressed! Love watching these videos!
I love these videos! Can't wait to see how it all turns out!
Great job keep the updates coming.
I thought you guys were nuts when you bought this RV but this is a great series watching the renovation. I can't wait until it is done and we get to see it being used!
Menards is the jam! Basically they have everything for rv reno!
Love it guys! Cant wait for the next installment!
You guys are really working hard on this! impressed!
We've followed your adventures around the world but as RV'ers ourselves, we cannot wait to follow along for the next chapter!
I was waiting for this but now I have to wait for part 3...
btw I love you guys
So glad iv found you both. Really enjoying watching hope your both well and keeping safe x 😊
Really love watching your progress!!
Great work on your motor home rehab. Looking good already!
Fold four corners of cover to center. When ready to cover everything on rv, boat, plane, lay on top and let gravity do the work.
It is looking really good, you are doing an amazing job.
You are my heroes!!!
This video didn’t show in my feed. Glad I found it.
For the last 12 hours I've been binge watching your videos. They give me so many positive vibes. Lots of love from India
Love watching your channel. Always looking forward to new videos! I'm a fan now.
The one thing that I probably would do differently is put a layer of bituthane roof sealant inside the bunk to create a watertight barrier and prevent future leaking before putting the wood frame on. Bituthane also helps dampen thermal bridging which will reduce the amount of heat loss/gain through the wood that is contacting the aluminum exterior.
Awww!! It's looking GREAT!! We bought a cover like that for our little trailer we bought. Definitely a learning experience 😂 to put it nice!
Well done guys! It's coming along nicely. Loving the videos. Keep up the good work😊
Progress wow....it's going to be wonderful 🚐❤️
Can't wait to see the final.Great job🙂👍
Awesome job and fun done. God Bless
Really enjoying your build videos!
New framing looks great. Pocket holes are the way to go. Used same technique to fix water damage to frame on a truck camper.
