DIY RV Repairs Gone Wrong: Epic Fail to Major Win
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- Roadblock after roadblock with our RV Renovation. We FINALLY get the water leaks stopped. Which means we can move forward with wall repairs and paint. Now to remove the large mirror in the kitchen (galley area). Will this RV Reno ever end? For more on RV Living
We get the peel-and-stick wallpaper put in, paint the walls, install peel-and-stick tiles in the kitchen and move towards getting flooring in - sort of - unless we have an issue with the slide and the flooring not getting along.....
Watch to see what happens and stay tuned to the end for a sneak peek of what's to come next week.

Thanks for watching! If you’d like to see the whole renovation series (so far) you can watch the videos in order here: ruclips.net/p/PLJsTbI4IKRk6pHXN4Rn4SM0fDpvLj74gs
Just a suggestion: maybe the leak is coming from the slide seals. Wether it be on top or the sides, those rubber gaskets don't seal properly over time. Many new slides are tripling the rubber all around so no matter how hard it rains, one, if not more, of the layers stop leaks. I am so worried about leaks on slides while I am shopping for the right one. One way to test for leaks is using a air compressor to blow on joints to see if any air comes through the other side. Another way is using a bright flashlight at night to see if any light gets through. Great video and I have a tremendous amount of respect for all the work you are doing.
Thanks for the tips and the comment!
Per husband do not use mineral spirits to clean, use denatured alcohol to clean. Mineral spirits leaves an oil residue. Love you guys!
Good to know!
That reno looks like a lot of hard work! We like the stick-on wallpaper! ~ Shion and Matthew
Thanks!
So sorry about the sheet vinyl. Everything is looking good nice work!
Thanks!
You guys are making serious progress! WOW!
Thanks!
Looking good. I hope you get the flooring figured out. I would hate to see it rip the flooring everytime the slide goes out. Really great job though. It looks amazing already.
Thanks so much! We think we have a fix for the floor/slide issue. We will be talking about in our video tomorrow.
I am not a painting professional but I am a carpenter by trade and I am appreciating watching your remodel of your rig. I did notice that you were using a 12 inch roller for your paint you need to learn how to use weenie rollers 2 inch 3“ and 6 inch. They very inexpensive and really cut down the time to apply paint to a job. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Thomyt
Thanks for the tip!
You guys are awesome. Love the new backsplash that looks incredible. Keep it up 👍. Really can’t wait to see the finished product.
Thanks so much. We are excited for the final reveal!
Looks nice luv that your whole family helps even your dog.
Thanks! 😎🐾👩👩👧👦
I would look that close...
Nah your right I wouldn’t.
Hope you make your deadline to get on your trip.
Thanks!
Had a similar issue with our new floor [scratches] from the slide keep going looking good👍😃
Thanks!
Wow, fantastic progress. Everything looks great. Love your choices. Who says non-DIYers can’t get the job done?
Thanks! We’re definitely not afraid to jump in and do the best we can.
That paneling you used in the closet is $75 a sheet at our local hardware store in Nova Scotia, Canada
😳
It's coming along. Looks great! :)
Thanks!
I've been watching your videos and wondering where I have seen you before....then I saw the Netflix trailer for Firefly Lane. Sarah Chalke! You look a lot like her!
Ha! They say everyone has a double.
If the water leak was in fact coming in from the screws, your fix will not hold. That drip rail needs to be removed and cleaned up and reinstalled using the rolled sealer like you use to install a roof vent.
Good to know!
Your renovation is looking great! I had to replace part of my slide floor (wet similar to your walls). Wanted to do that type of laminate but my slide sits on top of my floor so it was going to be very tricky getting the transition to work.
Slides make flooring complicated!
Hey it looks great, can't wait to see the finished result. I just redid the floors in my Disco as well, I have to put sliders down so it doesn't scratch the floor when moving the slides in and out. Works great. Quick question. Are your windows tinted? If so, did you guys have it done. My windows are not tinted and I think tinted windows might help with the summer time temps inside the coach.
The windows in our coach are not tinted. Let us know if you get yours done!
We just bought a Fleetwood Bounder and it looks like in the bedroom some of the wallpaper is coming down? In your bedroom did you paint over the wallpaper or peel off the old?
Also what type of paint did you use? Was it a one coat?
I love the videos! Thank you so much!
Hey there! If your wall paper is coming down, check for any water leaks. Wallpaper in an Rv is actually more of a vinyl coating so you want to paint over it. I used a Behr Marquee one coat hide paint from Home Depot. Best of luck on your Reno!
@@GratefulGlamper thank you we will start looking for the leaks. We just picked it up so we haven’t gone through everything. The wallpaper that is peel and stick does well adhering to the wall? We have a lot of humidity where we live!
So, are you guys back home while renovating the RV, or still on the road? I see palm trees. You must live in Florida. Good work!😊👍
We have a home base in Florida now and have been staying in our home base while renovating our rig. Thanks for the comment!
The remodel looks great. I had to laugh because I used colored pencil to touch up spots on our laminate wood cabinets also. It does work better than the wood cover up pens. How many coats of paint did you have to use on your walls?
We only used one coat of paint. The paint is a Behr Marquee One coat hide so it doesn’t need more than 1 coat!
Never use linoleum flooring any place you have a slide... NEVER!! its way to soft.. the rollers will rip it..
Thanks for the tip.
Are you painting the “woodwork”?
We’re still trying to decide if we want to tackle that or not.
WOW !!! So ... on the peel and stick wallpaper and backsplash .... did you use the Nano tape to make sure it stayed ? did you paint first then apply ?
We didn’t do anything special other than make sure the walls were clean before adhering with the adhesive on the back.
@@GratefulGlamper where did you find the wallpaper ?
Home Depot
So what plan do you have for the floor now?
You’ll see in our video on Sunday 😉
Curious where you got the touch lights?
