It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here! We are ready to reveal the final before and after photos of our camper! In case the dates are confusing you, the camper was finished to the point of being livable around this time (August 2017) last year, and we had put some finishing touches on it throughout the year after moving in. We started working on a tiny house here at camp in April, and moved out of the camper in mid-May. We took these after photos back in the Winter, but

It’s time for the LAST camper renovation post! Our next post will be the long awaited… before and after photos! In this post, we are putting in the new flooring! We used floating vinyl planking from Lowe’s. We chose to use this flooring because it was light, easy to install, and would “move” with the camper as it shifted when driving down the road. We decided to do the back room and bedroom in a light gray color, and do the living room/kitchen area in a darker flooring. We love

Hey! Welcome back to the Camper Chronicles! It’s time for the pretty part… painting!! This was a job that Tawny was able to do, and it took forever! You wouldn’t think that such a small space would take so long to paint… but it did! It’s very difficult to paint in all the nooks and crannies of the space, especially when you’re doing it on the cheap with crappy brushes, haha.

We used a Pinterest hack to refinish our kitchen counters for cheap as well! It took two cans of the

It’s time for another Camper Chronicles! We’re almost done with this series, actually! This part highlights the LAST of the extreme repairs that needed to be done to the camper due to water damage. The next post will be all about beautifying it! Luke is going to write this post since he was the one working on it.

I used Foam Board Insulation on the back wall because it was cheaper and easier than fiberglass insulation, and I was dealing with less of a gap than usual to fill in.

I had

From Part 3, you’ll remember that we took the back wall panel off and set it aside for later. In this post we will be showing you how we were able to put it back on. Since we knew this project was going to take more than just 4 hands, we asked Luke’s family to come down and give us some help.

The first thing we had to do was make sure all of the staples were out.

Next, Luke climbed on the roof and it was time to put it on

It’s time to pick up where we left off with the camper remodel updates. As you know, the roof in our back room had fallen in and was in need of repair (go read part 2 if you would like to see it falling in!) Luke added the ice and water shield to the roof in part 3 if you would like to read about that as well. We purchased EPDM Rubber Roofing to replace the old roof, but as Luke did research, he found out that rubber roofing is

We’re back with another camper update after way too long! We figured we should probably get these up before we start working on our new house here at the camp. We don’t know when we will be in that house, so don’t worry, we will be living in our camper for a while longer!

It’s crazy to look back at these photos and see what our camper used to look like! In the next photos we started painting, and it really transforms the place. In these photos we are removing the

The #1 one thing on our wish list for the next place we moved was a porch. This was before we decided on a tiny house–especially a camper. Unfortunately, our camper didn’t have a good awning. Luke didn’t want to try it out while we were up north and it end up not going back down, so we decided to wait until we got down to Florida before we really tried it. Well, Luke got it up in the first couple days of us being down here! The bad thing

Our camper update for today is about the floor in the back room, which needed to be replaced where the bunkbeds had been. Again, Luke is going to be typing this one up since he was the one who did all of this work! I did my best to take pictures when I could.

This project created a lot of trash.

I pulled/cut out all of the water-damaged parts of the floor. Once I had it opened up, I realized that a puddle had accumulated beneath the floor. I cut slits in

Welcome back to another update on our camper journey! We started getting some serious work done on the camper at this point. Remember that we knew about the water damage when we bought it, but didn’t know the complete extent of the damage and the repairs that would need done until we opened it all up! I’m not completely sure what all was done here, so I’m going to turn it over to Luke to explain everything that he did when my dad joined him for a day. I wasn’t
