    Just an FYI from an upholsterer...the reason the fabric on your cushions is so wrinkled is that:
    1. Your fabric isn’t heavy enough. You need to use something like canvas, vinyl, or outdoor fabric (outdoor is stain and moisture resistant).
    2. The cushions will have much better structure if you wrap the foam in a polyester quilt batting before putting the fabric on. Cut a piece big enough to wrap around the top, bottom, and one side, then cut one long strip to go around the other 3 sides.(It’s cheap at Walmart). Use spray adhesive to keep it in place.
    3. When stapling, don’t go down the length of the first side from one end to the other; put a staple in one end, then the other, the middle, and a couple in between. Now turn it over and make sure it looks straight. Add enough staples to keep it in place, but not so many that you have to rip the fabric off if you want to keep it for some reason. After you get the first long side of fabric stapled, go to the other long side; now you have to pull it about 4 times more tightly than you think you need to. It’s nice to have someone help you with this. **A professional would use upholstery tacks and a tack hammer before putting in any staples, but that would be an expensive investment for one project.
    Just some info for the next time around!

    You did a lovely job, I have camped in popup tent campers since 1980's and wouldn't do it any other way. I love how easy they are to tow with my SUV, easy on gas, yet can boondock it. They take a beating and just keep going. Raised 3 kids in ours. We take our Anatolian Shepherd with us, HUGE DOG and no one ever bothered us. He holds down the fort for us at times if we leave the camper unattended.

    I just started remodeling my 94 starcraft. We have had it for 5 years, and its time. Its cool to see what the original stuff looked like on yours vs mine. For instance while redoing the floor I found out this is the 4th time flooring has changed since I see the other 3 layers. I also did not know my curtains were original however mine is missing the drapes .

    NICELY DONE!.....PRO TIP: THE BIT (IN YOUR CORDLESS SCREW DRIVER) YOU ARE USING WORKS BUT IT IS NOT THE CORRECT STYLE. ALMOST ALL RV'S USE WHAT IS CALLED A ROBERTSON DRIVE SCREW. ELECTRICIANS REFER TO IT AS A "NUMBER 2 SQUARE DRIVE BIT". MAYBE THE NEXT TIME YOUR HUSBAND GOES TO HOME DEPOT, HE CAN PICK UP A COUPLE BITS FOR YOUR CORDLESS. AGAIN NICE LITTLE TRAILER. I COMPLETELY REBUILT ONE FOR THE WIFE. SHE LOVED IT. CHEERS!

    The gap in the door jam is there because of the weight of the pop out bed. I made a n adjustment to where the polls under the bed attached and the gap went away. Over time the wood in the frame of the trailer start to move do to the weight of the pullouts and people moving around on them.

  • @KrisVenden

    Love this video as we have the identical same Starcraft trailer and seeing you transform it from its old original look to something modern and fresh and bright, is awesome. I'm curious, did you ever do anything further? You'd mentioned putting new floor in and some other stuff, but I don't see any follow-up videos. Was hoping to see the final results of the makeover when you deemed it completely done. :)

  • @TheIvoryman
    @TheIvoryman 3 роки тому +2

    As you commented, your pop up seems to have pretty good bones. The cabinets are in very good shape! I know this video is 6 months old. But, for cabinets and seating areas, that will get a good bit of use, at least a semi gloss paint would have been the best thing to use. The finish is more durable. And should clean up well. Flat paint should really only be used on walls where there is little to no contact. The work you put into your trailer shows well. And you must be satisfied with the effort you put into it. Your family should enjoy many fun times.

    Good job! We're looking to get back into camping. We used to own a pop up but the rigging finally cratered then we went to a regular 26' trailer and then got out. Now 25 yrs later we're in the market for another pop up! Hope to do what you're doing for relatively cheap. New travel trailers of any kind, even minis are incredibly expensive! Wish us luck. Happy travels!

    I've ALWAYS wanted a camper! The hubby has always had one so it wasn't that big of a deal to HIM, so he found a camper for sale from a guy on our deer lease and omg it was such a good deal, we could NOT pass it up! { it's a 5th wheel for $700 and NOTHING WRONG WITH IT!} but I've FOREVER I've wanted to make a "GLAMPER" so he bought it for ME and I've been slowly redoing it {just basically cosmetic} but I'm doing kind of "glam" version of shabby chic! I'm super excited about it! We've had it for a couple of years now and I just work on it when I want to and when my back can handle it. I've KINDA gotten to a spot where I have to have his help so since we're not really in a hurry to do anything, it's just kind of a project that I do for fun or whatever. Plus, when my daughter and her gf come to town, they stay out there! So we could STILL totally use it if we were to go camping since the only thing I'm doing BASICALLY is cosmetic. There ARE a couple of things that I wanna do that Jeff has to do... like I found this olddddd pale pink enamel wash tub thing and he's gonna cut a hole in it and put it in for me in place of the sink in the kitchen area! Omg won't that be sooo darlin? Lol And then it has that faux wood flooring and since it sat out in the HAWT A$$ west Texas desert 🏜 for YEARS so a few of the boards have kinda come "unstuck" so he's gonna probably pull them all up and put them back down the RIGHT WAY {he's done every kind of construction there is so he does EVERYTHING the "perfect way" lol but I'm gonna paint them like a few different of the shabby chic colors and then distress them so that's the other thing I can't do by myself. {I could if my back wasn't jacked up 😕} And I'm THINKING about using this super thick foam board {it's ACTUALLY some kind of thick insulation sheets that he uses for his hvac business} but I am thinking about cutting and painting them like fake boards and and putting them on the ceiling kinda like shiplap..... Anyhoo, I've had a BLAST working on it. Right now, it's time to paint everything but it's soooo hot and humid here and I'm gonna use primer before I paint, which has to be done with the door opened {I learned THAT the hard way lol} so that part will have to wait until it's a good bit cooler outside! 😘

    • @lifeloveendlesslaundry9445

Open the metal piece holding the bungee circle together, run it through the new grommet, then close it back up. If you don’t want to mess with replacing the grommet/s yourself, you may be able to have a sign/banner company do that part for you.
