I would like to hear some success stories of people buying a cheap RV or trailer and fixing it up, to make it their own. What kind/type, cost, and things like that. Tips would be appreciated too!
We bought a 1998 Beaver Patriot Monticello 2 years ago and have been renovating both inside and out. We love the solid wood and basic lay out of this coach and we also wanted a diesel pusher. She is still a work in progress. We have become full time workkampers and we love the life.
We have removed mirrors, wallpaper over the green, recovered the head board, removed the window frames etc. when you buy an older RV you don’t feel like you have to keep it original condition.My blog has a few pictures of my renovations
http://hillsserenity.blogspot.comJust got a 1992 Fleetwood Prowler 26 ft. travel trailer for $500. Yes, it needs a lot of work. The roof leaked, the fiberglass insulation held the water and proceeded to rot the floor. Been watching youtube videos on how to fix this mess. Making progress however. Pictures do not convey the smell nor the stuff floating about in the air. Yuck. I do wear protective equipment. Going to make my own “tiny house”. Planning to not have any “holes” in the roof, such as a/c, vents, and skylights. All vents will go on the sides. A/c will be a window unit.
Electric water heater, propane for cooking only, and a full size fridge.
I guess I do have definite plans. 😉
