Vintage Fiberglass RV Camper Gets a Face Lift! Step-by-Step DIY Window Refurbishment and Buffing!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2023
- (EP09) Part of our restoration series. We take a step by step approach so that viewers can see the process of how to restore the entrance door, connect a tankless water heater, remove & refurbish the camper windows with one-way film, buff the gelcoat from heavy oxidation to a brilliant shine, and focus on the accessories for that detailed look!
We love our 1985 Bigfoot B19 trailer, it has the awesome 80's vibe and we hope to make further videos showing our progress! If you are just a tuning in there are other episodes that show our progress and some good visual tips for those Bigfoot and RV Trailer lovers!
Little background, we bought the camper last year and it was essentially sitting for 16 years under a dirt carport in Oregon and it was being swallowed by thorny vines back into the earth!

Cleaned right and replaced right. I love it. No cut corners and very informative :)
Absolutely 👍, thank you
oh man your rig is in such great shape... I'm very jealous haha
GOOD IDEAS. KEEP AT IT AND UPGRADE TO WHAT YOU WANT.
Thank you, we shall continue!
Should do a whole video on buffing, looks fantastic!
Thanks! We currently have segments of the how-to process and materials in this video in previous videos as well.
Good video.
Thanks!
Wow what a difference. Key part patience which you both have. Slow and steady better than hurry up and do over again.
Exactly, we intend to do it once robustly. So we don’t kick ourselves again later lol
Very helpful video ! Thanks a lot !
We are glad it helps!
You have crazy mad skills! How do you know so much at a young age? I'm so impressed and learning alot to help restore our 13 foot Lil Bigfoot. I just ordered our window gaskets based on this video.
Love your content ❤🎉
Im so blown away😮with how much is in this video...I just bought a old fiberglass trailer and so figured I'd start looking at repairing it, and this one video has shown me that I got no business buying an old fiberglass trailer😂😂😂😂I have really enjoyed watching the whole series, the frame, etc etc....my problem is I don't have a manufacturer to contact as they no longer make Beachcombers anymore, so will have to look into where does one buy these supplies...enjoy your trailer, just Wowzers❤❤❤
Showwwwww!
You guys are doing some great work on that camper! I was looking at replacing those plastic corners and screw trim covers around the doors of my bigfoot I believe all rite makes the corners they don't ship to Canada though. And you can get the screw covers new in a variety of colors but I haven't ordered them yet.
Thank you, it’s coming along now since we decided to get the exterior some TLC. Also thanks for mentioning All rite, it’s looks like like that is is case and we will keep them in mind when it’s time to replace them.
Hey, thanks for the great video! So much great info. I'm wondering what sealant you use for the "secondary sealant" around the windows.....cheers
Im wondering if you replaced the weatherstriping on your door? If so could you share the details of the type/shape/size? I have found a large leak coming in at the bottom of the door frame. I will remove the door but not sure what I will find.
Do you plan on raplacing the decals? Mine on my bigfoot are in rough shape.
So I had success refurbishing the decals on our previous BF truck camper via painting them actually and they came our looking original. Our side decals are good but our rear and front camper decals are in rough shaping too. I can do a video on making them look like new again after our electrical upgrade.
@@b19sleeper9that would be great.
Find a friend with a 3d printer and print replacement parts.
Yes, that is something we are thinking of, thanks!
