I really am enjoying watching Alexander's post store adventures and project. Still get to see his really cool picks and he now has time to devote to many other great projects that he wasn't able to devote time to inthe past.
Agreed and the fact that he makes about as much from leasing the store as he did from running it (and a steady amount) is a definite bonus! 👍❤️
What happened to your air stream?
@@joyceutt3419 he sold that years ago
Super cute!!! I hope at some point you add an awning and patio lights!!!😍
Love this idea! Don’t forget to put supports under the rear. I can see it tip if too many people are towards the back. 😏 Not that I’ve experienced that, ever . . . once☺️
Shouldn't there be a wind down stabiliser under each corner? We have them here on our caravans in the UK.
@@drogna3905 I think those are on the newer ones, but the older ones (unless High End) never seemed to have them unless after market.
@@scottstewart3884 Hi, You maybe right.
@@scottstewart3884 you are right. I remember putting the stabilizers under the corners.
Yes, and add those chocks you got for the tires so that your trailer doesn't roll off the pad. Cool addition for sure. Love it.
I want you to know your jack stands need to be under the rear trailer frame. The front hand crank will level the trailer and you won't have the unit tripping over. A three-point stand will make the cabin stable and safe!
the camper looks great,. makes a nice changing room for the pool area and nice to have a bathroom near the pool also.also a great place to keep cold drinks and picnic supplies.
You found the perfect way to fill the empty space on that concrete pad! And the fact that you made it look so retro makes it even better. I am sure the family will get plenty of use out of that area of the yard throughout the summer. It wears me out watching how quickly you get projects completed, Alex, but your videos are always entertaining!
I could almost “see” Lucy and Desi sitting on those Adirondack chairs !
Absolutely LOVELY !
If Lucy and Desi had bought a trailer this small they would have had a less adventurous road trip lol.
Nice job Alex!! I like it! Thank you for leaving the bad words out and admitting that sometimes frustration gets the best of all of us. Love your family friendly content! Keep up the great work!!
Oh man I love it! I wouldn’t put curtains in because it seems to me the bare windows let the beautiful outdoor scenery inside, and curtains would close that off. Just my silly opinion of course. You guys are the cutest, and your kids are so lucky to have parents like you and Melissa ❤
Great make over on the caravan looks amazing the colours are cool and with a fridge in there you won't need to go to the house for drinks and food when you are by the pool❤ from Australia
It's Matthew's shed, he will be so happy!!! Or Heather will be, there will be a showdown to come!! He will be so happy that you painted it.🤍🐺🤍
I love your poolside cabana! What about a picnic table? BBQ? Then, you have an afternoon all around “event!” Whatever you decide…or if it’s complete…you have made your viewers very happy for your many recent successes!
What a beautiful retro camper!!! I
L❤️VE the colours you chose. Such a cute little suite!!! 👏👏👏😊❤️🇨🇦
Creative, money-saving idea that so seems to fit the family style! Your little pool house beside the camper would look nice painted one of the two colors of the camper. You’re so right about the yard; it’ll grow back without a sign of damage. But the joy that camper brings will make it all worthwhile.
What a great idea to paint the shed to match the camper !!! Hope Alexander sees your comment :)
What a beautiful retro camper!!! The colours are PERFECT!!! 👏👏👏😊❤️🇨🇦
My Dad met his best friend when he was 18. Dad was painting his White walls and his friend thought he was nuts. Until he heard how nice Roger's car always looked.
It's looking great. You might want to put some jack stands under the back end of it also to stabilize everything and also to keep it from being slanted if the tires eventually lose some pressure.
Oh my goodness Alex you made me laugh out loud about the redneck remark. The picture was worth 1000 words hahaha even though your camper is a 70s model my sister and I back in the day had an aunt that left a 1950s camper behind and we used it as a playhouse for a couple years awesome memories for this 74-year-old . Your camper turned out wonderful I love the retro look Good job Alex.
What a brilliant idea - home from home. Having just sold my caravan in the U.K. I will miss it but I found that as you get older everything is harder to move around
Ya’ll wear me out! It all looks so inviting and so well done! Thank you for sharing! 💕 🥰 ♥️
What a fun idea! Looks great! Perfect teen party hangout!
Love it! I bet Mr Fox is already thinking of where he will
put his stuff! (And Heather is battling him for first dibs! Lol)
Was thinking the exact same.
I love that you not only show us the success, which it was 100%, but including the BS, "NOT GO AS PLANNED, between a rock and a hard space. Big shutout to your son for helping you out.
Very cute idea. thanks for not swearing and having to bleep out words! We respect your channel for it’s family friendly content.
Oh! Is this @Matthew Fox shed? 😆
The camper is absolutely adorable. Great job Archbolds!
🤣I love it! The tire is adorable 👏. What a creative solution. So much fun Alexander. Really enjoy your channel 👏👏👏👍
That’s the best idea Alex. Boy you sure don’t fool around when you’ve got an idea. Pitter, patter - let’s get at her!!! Splendid creation!!!
Great idea using a vintage camper as a pool house/guest house…I’m stealing it and searching RV trader now!
I enjoyed this episode, how fun. I chuckled and told a friend the pool is a distance from the house, and now you have a mobile home. You can spend the day out there and pretend you are on vacation outside Edmonton, Thanks to the wonderful content you and your family bring us. Oh, and I think a white picket fence would add to your getaway.
Love it…. you made me laugh!! Getting stuck….was so funny. Alex it was raining you knew it would happen…lol it is something my hubby would do. Camper looks great!
I love the little camper! The paint is perfect and I especially like what you did with the tires! You'll make good use of this cozy little cabana, I know. Great place to keep beach towels and whatever supplies/accessories you might need at the pool without having to traipse over to the house. You need a little canopy over the camper door and/or a string of lights for night-time ambiance! Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
That setup is so darn cute and perfect for a pool house!
Why do I desperately want you to put up an awing and bunting, with out fun door lighting?!
Turned out super cute, Alex. I'm ready to see more projects.
You have such wonderful ideas Alex! That camper turned out really well!
I thought of an idea for the camper; you could use it as a slumber party spot. If Abigail or Jason want to have two or three pals come over, you can shove them in the camper, and while they have fun your house stays peaceful and clean.
“Parts of my vocabulary I didn't know existed”, now that has to be the first time hearing Alexander say that!!! 😂😂😂
Ooooooooooooo, so fabulous!!! Thanks for feeding our retro colour and beauty souls.Brilliant! As usual. 😊
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought how cool that little trailer is . I love rehab projects . Then I saw who’s it was,
I couldn’t wait to watch.
Just a quick hint we use for our RV. Put out several bars of Irish Spring bar soap all through the camper along the floors and bottom of all the cabinets. It helps repel any mice who might want to get inside.
It came full of Irish spring soap all over on the inside and no mouse poop so it must be working :)
Very cute , a perfect use of the space !! The trailer is very nicely set up and it looks like the previous owners really loved it !
The camper is adorable. I think you would call that a "retro" look. It takes me back many years to our "Sammy Seal." We hauled that little 14 footer to Colorado and the Rocky Mts. I sure could use it today as a little guest house or garden shed.
I absolutely love it. 💜🤠👍💯🔥
So awesome Alexander! You and Melissa are building such a great home for your family, you know they are never going to leave! You’ll have to build more to house the kids, their spouses AND the grandkids! How fun would that be!😉 It really is fantastic…I am really enjoying these new adventures! Keep them coming!🥰
What a great idea, Alex! If I hauled one out to my place there would be fights on who gets to sleep in it when it rains! One of my fondest memories of a child is going out to sleep in the Red on white Porta-Built travel trailer we had when I was a kid. To this day the sound of rain on a metal roof lulls me to sleep every time.
The little campers are way more fun and memorable to camp in than those big expensive ones people use now. Where they look like homes instead of campers. I always figure a camper is only used to store food and sleep in. Elsewise I'm outdoors.
I added front and back patio covers to my home with metal roofs. It's wonderful during our monsoon rains!
@@tinacatharinaeden2711 I put a new corrugated steel roof on our hip-roof barn. The grandkids love sleeping up in the hayloft when it rains!
@@myowndrum286 That sounds great! My barn/garage has a metal roof as well. I love it. I bet your grand kids love to come over!
@@tinacatharinaeden2711 Best part of my world is when they come out to visit! Plus I'm able to teach them the responsibility of looking after the animals and just how much they rely on us to keep them safe and healthy. Then my youngest granddaughter is taken out to swing or play in the yard while I lop off a chicken's head for dinner!! lol
I love the camper! It is in excellent shape ! Nice to have a pad there already done! Such a wonderful little retreat by the pool. Especially because the pool is far away from the house, this will be so nice. Great job!
That camper is adorable! I did not realize how dark that grey was until you started painting with the beige! I like the new design much better! Even on a bad day you look lighter and less stressed. It's wonderful to see.
Looks great.....love it. The whitewall trick worked. NICE !!
Looks good! I had seen this idea years ago on a home Reno type show, and I always liked it!
Years ago when my boys were Stephen and Jason’s ages we had a camper In our back yard. My boys ran an extension cord out to it for power and lived there all summer. Now they are in their 30’s and still talk about it. I hope your family has as much fun as my boys did.
Absolutely adorable ! It is screaming for a retro striped awning!
I was always told .. if ya dream. Dream big 😊
Love love love the little camper/pool house it’s so cute! Makes me wish we would’ve kept one of our old campers we had many years ago instead of selling them when we upgraded. We have two fifth wheel RV’s a small one and a large toy hauler with 2 bathrooms and a washer and dryer. With the cost of fuel it’s almost too expensive to enjoy them… we got a great deal on the small one (28ft) 3,000.00 U.S. it’s a 2015 but was filthy inside and out. With a lot of elbow grease it turned out beautiful! Love how cute yours is! ♥️
What a great idea! Turned out so cute.
That looks so welcoming! Nice work! ❤️❤️❤️
Very cool! Great job!!!
I absolutely love this! My family had a camper when I was growing up in the sixties and it looked so much like this but it was yellow instead of turquoise blue. I am digging this so much brilliant creative idea!
This is really causing me to flash back to those beach camping days! I remember that I slept in a hammock inside I was all of three or four years old at that time.
What a great addition! I love it!!
And the fact that it recycled something is a big plus for me! It’s a really cute place for someone to stay as well.
great idea, it's so cute!
Very cute and resourceful!
It’s beautiful. Looks fabulous.
Looks awesome! I would’ve loved that especially as a kid, like a little clubhouse
Very creative! Very cute!
What fun idea! Love it.
Cool idea, looks great
Great idea! Love the camper.
Such a cute idea!!!
Sooooooo cute love the paint job
love love love it Alex - wonderful job !

Looks brilliant, well done
That turned out really cool!! Love it!! 💖💖💖💖
That’s a sweet idea!!! Love it!!
Loved this video! Cute camper pool house for sure❤️
So darn cute! You all have the best ideas .
What a fantastic idea. I love it.
That is adorable!
What a terrific idea!
I had to laugh when I saw that wonky camper sitting on the concrete slab with the makeshift ramp all askew. In true Alex style, it all turned out nicely in the end. I'm sure you'll all make good use of it. So cute!
Wonderful!!!!! It looks amazing 🎉👍🏽
Love this! Adorable little camper!
that is such a cute pool house. enjoy xx
Great work . Looks very cool. Love it❤❤❤❤
That was a great idea, it looks awesome😍
What a great idea and looks awesome! :) :)

Great creativity and a job well done.
Looks great! Thanks Alex!
So glad to see you have a little ''get away'' spot to take refuge in!
Getting stuck in the mud is a rite of passage for every RV owner! A belated welcome to the club! Love the retro reno you did on your little camper! I might copy that art the previous owner left behind for my camper😏
I absolutely love it!
What a wonderful idea! I love it!
One of my favorite episodes. I wish I had all your energy!
That camper is sooooo cool👍❤️😎
Alex the camper turned out so cute! Great idea and it works for what you need. Just get some fertilizer or potting soil, grass seed, water ( need to stomp that area back down flat) the grass will be back in no time with all the rain you guys get there.
you guys enjoy the pool and make some great family memories together.
Much happiness always to you!!!
Very clever and ez transformation!Great job!
Love it!🤗
Love it! Good job!
Turned out great!
Love the camper Alex! Good job!
Looks great !!
