  • Hi there! Welcome to part 1: the first 12 days of our camper project! We have managed to gut and repair the interior over the course of 12 LONG days. Half of those days were spent resting from the hard work this project entailed. We look forward to rebuilding portions of the interior & revamping the exterior over time, but for now.. this is what we've accomplished. We are unsure of what our final plans are for this camper, but we will keep you updated!

Now she is ripping up the flooring with a wrecking bar. I hope there is a part 2. Thanks for the video. Back with an additional comment. Cutting insulation.. T square, tape measure and keyhole saw.

    Boy, you guys are really going at it hard. Good job. I am seeing a lot of black mold on the wood. Be sure to neutralize, seal and or replace them. Double check the windows to make sure they are watertight. Too much hard work to have it go for naught with bad windows.

      That’s really good advice! Thanks! For the winter I’ve just left tarps on it until I can get back to it and get it all sealed up! I’m still deciding how I wanna seal it up. There are a lot of holes from rusted out screws and stuff like that.

    Did the exact same thing on a 24 footer, but i ripped out every board & replaced it all with pressure treated lumber, wasn't playing around, & it was the same year era as this, i figured, if it lasted this long with regular ol lumber, & junk screws, it should last 10 life times with pressure treated lumber & all stainless steel screws

    I am living in a 73 32' Holiday Rambler 12yrs. Not Restored. Stove is Completely Useless and Rusted out (use as a Counter top with Hotplate on it), Some of the Windows don't work, No Septic Holding Tank, Water Heater don't work, Nice size Hole in the roof where a Tree Branch Fell and Stuck and is still in it, Roof has Tin over it and Cement blacks holding it down. Wiring is Sketchy at best but works. Toilet seat broke so use a Composting Toilet that sits in the Shower 1/2 Tub Combo. 3way Fridge was Worthless and didn't work.
    Live in Florida so don't take much to heat in the Winter and is not actually too bad in the summer for A/C. Bill ranges from $35 no A/C to $75 Using A/C.. Only Paid $1,200 for it. I think it was a Bit too much. Had to take out 2 Sets of Homemade Bunk Beds in the Back, where the 4 Children Slept ( before I got it) and the Parents upfront. Holes in the Bottom under the Bathroom area Allow Opossums, Mice, Neighbors Cats, Roaches In and had to Block those off, Still get roaches and mice.. it is Florida.
    Do I plan to restore it.. Eh.. got to built a House First and at the time of writing this, with the Prices So Fucking high on Lumber 2x4 for $20??? Yeah Fuck that! And I need Pressure Treated because the area I Live in, Building the house myself and as Money allows, the Untreated would Rot before I had it built.
