      Actually remodel them for a living. The correct way would have been to replace the wall boards not paint them as they manufacture the wall board in 4x8 sheets with the patterns of your choice already on the wall board. @@HappyCampingMom

    Yo…. Silicon calking tip…. Lay the bead, with a smaller paint brush, lightly brush the bead and 90 angle with a mix of water and a touch of liquid dish soap. Now drag (NOT YOUR FINGER) a calking scraper along the bead, wiping off the load when needed. THEN dip your finger tips in the soapy water and lightly rub along the calked corner… it smooth and shines it out. This is a tip I learned 25 years ago when I moved to Germany… since shared it with all my family and friends in the states and they are frickin‘ amazed…. So easy… perfect calking EVERYTIME.

    You guys really reimagined and updated that interior. It looks more modern and fresh than the dated 80s interior it had before.
    I know someone who used to work in an RV factory. For how expensive they are, RVs are POORLY made. Same with many mobile homes.

    We have a 2000 32' R-Vision Condor - Also on a Workhorse chassis. They were obviously made with the same parts and much of our floor plan is the same as yours. We also spent the pandemic making ours livable. Fun watching what you've done with it. We've made several of the same fixes.

      We didn’t gut this RV to the state that it would have needed to be in to insulate the walls. If we ever gut it again/more we would. We always rebuild what we take apart better than it was (not hard to do with these). We just never took apart any exterior walls.

    Superb video and really like your idea of the Reno to your jeep. We are thinking of doing the same to my Defender however I must ask - HOW DID YOU assess the actual chassis and engine to ensure that it was roadworthy and had many years of life left in it?

    • @WilderAdventures
      @WilderAdventures  7 місяців тому +1

      The honest answer is that I gave it a good look over and it test drove very well, particularly the engine and transmission. I would still categorize it as a relatively risky deal, but we bought it at a price where I was comfortable with that risk. We did have about $2,500 worth of unexpected suspension work, for example, that I probably could have found if we had taken it to a mechanic to inspect it. That's hard to do on a cash transaction that's 5 hours from home though! -Casey
