From someone who purchased a brand new Thor Challenger 2 years ago, ended up with a year of repairs and replacement parts.....this motorhome is going to be better than new! I wouldn’t think twice about buying this motorhome from you! Great job! 👏
You're coming right along.... At points it looked like you had a fight on your hands but you worked through it, that's GREAT !!!!!!! Waiting for the next one.....
I have to admit, when you said wallpaper, so many thoughts came to mind about why you shouldn't then I saw what you chose and it just works. As for the adhesive, Roman PRO 543 works great but I'm sure you've figured out what works best for your project. Keep up the amazing work!!!
Looking better than new, I like the contrast between the new vinyl wall covering and the window frames...nice! Putting backed vinyl (the vinyl surface has a fabric backing, so it’s difficult to stretch and it has a tendency to wrinkle or buckle over uneven surfaces or around corners) is tough. Now you know why talented auto trimmers are worth their weight in gold. There are some gun-sprayable adhesives that would make this job easier and the results will last as long as the RV...Weldwood is one brand...a quick spray on both surfaces, let dry to a low tack, then press together. -Don
Hi guys; what a journey with wallpaper. I would have lined it inside with cedar wood plates, apart from the beauty, it leaves an amazing smell. But the truth is that it will be very good. They have become experts.👍
Probably should have got a commercial grade wallpaper like they have in banks and hospital and motels its solid vinyl and has its own special glue it would been way easier to put on...
I am a relatively new subscriber but really like your channel you guys move right along on the builds no 36 episode content great work guys looking forward to the next video
If you really wanted that "good seal" you should've applied the butyl tape correctly. Only the most outer edges of the sealing flange/lip are touching the exterior of the coach body! Yours is only contacting thalf the flange, ang you rolled it up the inside edge where there's no contact. Always apply it starting on the very outer edge, and use a plastic scraper to remove the squeeze-out after windows are tightened in place after a few days
So looks like you're becoming an expert on these little Vegas motorhomes look I look at Copart here in Phoenix guess what I saw another one of those Vegas motorhomes that been involved in accident I guess these types of motorhomes are a magnet for accidents. Doing a great job keep it up
You were really getting stuck in there Michael and I don't care what anyone say's, if it doesn't work out, it won't be for the want of trying on your part. Very, very well done son. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍
A great learning curve,the vynal is a great way to go,if they have a lighter grade you could use that on the walls that are good and the thicker grade on the rough walls,the lighter one is easy to hang,the heavy ones a bitch,it's like the one the makers use,easy to wipe clean.
Not getting a real sense that the "wallpaper" has proper adhesion. Seems like it should almost have a contact glue like upholstery? You fought a good fight with it for sure.
One option often overlooked, would be to hire a team of artists to paint the cabinets with as many very very tiny highly detailed bob ross type of paintings that are each the size of a square centimeter, as can possibly be painted by people even if it takes 20 years to complete while the painters keep at it around the clock 24/7 in order to complete such a monumental task. Then people can drop by and visit and pay you 3 dollars per hour to rent macroscopic highly magnifying types of eyewear, gaining in popularity to the point that you have to install turnstiles as intensive as what disney has at their park gates, after hearing your commercial that is being broadcasted with 50000 watts of radio power to the surrounding area. I've yet to see any custom rv painting option such as that as of yet, actually, now that we think about it, nobody ever has seen such a thing, yet would boost the vehicle's overall value astronomically at a barrett jackson auction while also being designated as a protected national treasure by those people who do that to encourage restorations of art.
Wait, wait, wait... did you just call your wallpaper "fox leather"? 😀 I think you're talking about faux leather but faux is pronounced like "fo" not "fox". I think it's French or something, they pronounce everything weird. It's all looking really good though, I never would've thought to use something like that as wallpaper
Sorry to be negative but i think it looks awful , pausing at 15:15 especialy and it will look better on camera than in the flesh , surly retail for it when it`s done will be less than half the price of an equivalent undamaged one . We have different categories in the UK and are listed on the log book , 'Cat C' for instance is because the insurers have deemed the cost of repairs to exceed the value of the vehicle and have paid out on but it still can be repaired , So anyone selling a cat C that has been repaired gets no where near as much for it . even though cat c`s could and often are only a fender or bumper nowadays , gone are the days when headlights where £30 , the XJ headlights are £1,300 each !
Im really enjoying this build, many thanks.

You guys have real patience, I hope it works out financially

Top notch guys, looking forward to the next stage👍👍

Good progress and good call on the wallpaper, should hold up great that vinyl being flexible and ease of clean up 👌🏼
Leave it to you guys to "do the right thing" LOOKS fantastic!! and another skill set acquired!
Lol

I don’t understand why you guys don’t have a million subscribers....I’ve got to watch every time y’all post a video 😆

Its coming together faster than i would thank nice work
Probably should have got a commercial grade wallpaper like they have in banks and hospital and motels its solid vinyl and has its own special glue it would been way easier to put on...
This a lovely project. Not sure I'd go for white rather than a darker tone, but I don't know what's currently the popular choice.
I like everything you are doing well done my friend 👏well done

beautiful restoration work

You guys are killing it! Great job!
Late today but your builds always top of my to watch list
So looks like you're becoming an expert on these little Vegas motorhomes look I look at Copart here in Phoenix guess what I saw another one of those Vegas motorhomes that been involved in accident I guess these types of motorhomes are a magnet for accidents. Doing a great job keep it up
They are cheap and plentiful so there are more of them out there. Since they are the cheaper side of motorhomes, they total easier too.
Putting that on the walls is a real test of a persons patience
Lol it sure is
I done quit 4 times just watching him lol
Coming together nicely
The cabinets will look unique. I have never seen a RV with white cabinets
Thanks for your interesting video. Epic job. Regards
Looking awesome great job
Fine job Builder BOB 😎👍🏽
wallpaper is headaches :o)
Don't you need to spray both sides of the contact points? Wall paper and the wall for good adhesion?
You were really getting stuck in there Michael and I don't care what anyone say's, if it doesn't work out, it won't be for the want of trying on your part.
Very, very well done son. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍
Great video and fantastic advice I can't wait to see what you guys do next
You guys should try using white rock, easier and more professional end results.
Doing a real profectional job the next one will be much easier
The build continues……….. Love the video
You are doing great, Keep it up !
A great learning curve,the vynal is a great way to go,if they have a lighter grade you could use that on the walls that are good and the thicker grade on the rough walls,the lighter one is easy to hang,the heavy ones a bitch,it's like the one the makers use,easy to wipe clean.
Great rebuild ....
With all that white on the inside all need is Red Cross on the outside🤣🤣
Nice one guys.
You do great work
Great job I wish I had your patience lol 🇬🇧Tom
Not getting a real sense that the "wallpaper" has proper adhesion. Seems like it should almost have a contact glue like upholstery? You fought a good fight with it for sure.
I was thinking the same thing..
I think your doing a great job
Cabinets look nice. Probably should have painted the walls inside your spray booth while you were at it

Seems like a LOT of labor is it really worth it?
Great job guys.
Your awesome dude...good job!
Love it !!
Good Job!!!!
Thank you
Thinking of making an offer for the final product....
I really like your videos with the RV´s. looking good so far :) Greetings from Sweden.
Looking good!
Looking good. How much you gonna ask for it?
This is looking good!
It looks good are you going to finish the cobra
Love the work you do but..... the vinyl needs glue on the wall and the paper to stick that why you were fighting. Keep up the good work !!!!
Shes coming together for sure I done quit 4 times just watching you put up the vinyl lol
Wait, wait, wait... did you just call your wallpaper "fox leather"? 😀

It's all looking really good though, I never would've thought to use something like that as wallpaper
You beat me to it. I think fox leather would be a pelt. 😜
Not sure how double sided tape will keep the rain out of the windows, don't you have silicon sealant in the USA?
Looks good keep up the good work
I like the FOX (faux) leather wall paper! Just got to mess with you Mike. Where is Ivan in this episode?
Hit me up when you’re done & ready to camp I’ll haul my camper from Texas for a weekend trip 😜
What's the music called that starts at 0:31? You guys use it often. Sounds great for build video's
Looking good. Why not paneling. And paper. Combo
weight
Reminds me of Miami vice house's
keep goin........
I would have used a rv sealant rather than mastic sealer on the windows.
Did you forget to semi gloss the cabinets inside?
There is an old expression that applies to this: " You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear."
Sorry to be negative but i think it looks awful , pausing at 15:15 especialy and it will look better on camera than in the flesh , surly retail for it when it`s done will be less than half the price of an equivalent undamaged one .
We have different categories in the UK and are listed on the log book , 'Cat C' for instance is because the insurers have deemed the cost of repairs to exceed the value of the vehicle and have paid out on but it still can be repaired ,
So anyone selling a cat C that has been repaired gets no where near as much for it . even though cat c`s could and often are only a fender or bumper nowadays , gone are the days when headlights where £30 , the XJ headlights are £1,300 each !
Класс🙋♂️👍
I'm not so sure about white for an RV. Still think you should have lobbed the front of this unit off and fixed the crashed one.
Im sure they will fix both
I just watched a video of a guy hanging wallpaper….
Windows held in by double face tape.. no wonder they rattle like crazy driving down the road..
You should not have let the outside wall edges were th window holes get wet.
Hurry up and finish it I can't wait to sneak in and sleep in it . Wallpaper sucks put in white plastic 4X 8 sheets . Scrubs say Niko Bros OTAY.
Its looking good but it's going to be a lot of white its a bit clinical

That last window you fitted is poorly fitting; probably indicative of original craftmanship.
where do you find this disco music, it sucks
je moet het gewoon doen dan leer je er van dan weer een ervaring rijker
V
please, can you play something else when time lapsing. its very repetitive, maybe classical music?
This is going up for resale for profit with a salvaged title? 🤦♂️
Seams look bad
