    I preferred the colors it originally had, but I appreciate what you’ve done. Looks much cleaner

      There is always that "one" in the comments. A compliment loaded with something negative and unnecessary. Kindness is free and easy to give. Try it.

    Absolutely love to see these old campers being renovated, I bought a 1981 Shasta about a year ago for $700 and have renovated it, it’s been frustrating and fun all at the same time!

    Brushing a quality oil base point is actually just as good . The thicker sheen makes it look brand new. Keep the retro stripes also.

    Honey is great. I have been binge watching both channels. It is such a pleasure just to know of you. When you mentioned the haters it broke my heart. First I thought they probably care about you being true to who you are and they love your charm and sweetness.
    Then I thought hmmm that is so selfish ..it is Your life. I appreciate seeing a young Christian women get excited to go to church. You are so caring and your parents and grandparents in heaven must be so proud of you. I am a gal also that can have a tea party, clean up and go outside and work on my 1909 house and get muddy in the garden. We are women and are multidimensional. I’m impressed with your work on honey and your house. Have you ever thought about merging your channels. If that is possible.
    Ps I love Christmas movies and in my 20’s I watched Home Alone so many times, I loved that house. I will be watching your favs! Thank you for just being you.🐝 ps love the baking, cooking , decorating, remodeling and love your dog, so precious.

    Your camper is cute!! I have to ask: did you replace the butyl tape? This needs to be replaced as a part of regular trailer maintenance every 7-10 years. I am asking because when you remove the windows, hatch covers, and j-rail to reinstall the butyl tape, you can bypass all of the detail masking. You also need butyl tape applied behind the awning brackets because the trailer skin has been pierced. After all that work you have done you don't want her leaking.

    I personally loved the 70's look honey originally had ,but I also really love it's new very sweet kinda almost 50's look it has. Your video has inspired me to someday redo the 80's camper I got from my parents. I will so be re watching these videos when I get around to that.

    Definitely needs a hit of a dark color…the outside grate and the door the same color!! I have a camper and have been looking for the right outside paint and now bc of you I found thank you so much, Happy Camping what else is there!!

  • @pdxeddie1111
    @pdxeddie1111 Рік тому

    I like seeing old things made new again it's good I don't know if I would have gone with the light color around the bottom because of road dirt and dust will make it look dingy but it looks cheery btw they made stuff a lot better back in the olden days so that's why it's still around.

    I have read that putting metal wheel well trim over your tires is important because when tire blow-outs happen (and they will) they can rip and wreck the outside of your camper and sometimes wreck the inside of your camper too.

    It's 2 years later and I've just found your video. I'd love to know how this brand of paint has held up. You did such a great job on this! I've just purchased my used, but "New-To-Me" R.V> and I was thinking about changing the colours of the decals. Then that lead to thinking about removing th decals and painting on my own and of course, we know what that had led me to . . . . . painting the entire R.V. now! Especially after seeing how beautiful yours has turned out!

    P.s: you could make a fortune doing camper renovations (just saying 😉)

  • @cannabistherapy9603
    @cannabistherapy9603 3 роки тому

    The first point you made about the tape and how you gotta be super precise, or else the tape will peel your paint off is lack of quality tape and also either too many coats of paint applied.. or added coats too soon in between the drying stages.. be use both cause overspay/overcoated

    Your camper is adorable! You all did a great job on the paint, love the stripes and the awnings. Your dad did an amazing job on the awnings. I was wondering what paint you planned to use on the aluminum and now I know. I have a 27’ motorhome I would like to paint but have been very hesitant because I didn’t know the right paint to use. You have inspired me to get going on my RV again. Your trailer will be beautiful when finished. Great job!😁

Thank you for commenting with any info about that. Also the name of the trim that goes around the windows covering the screws would be helpful too. Thanks again
