We bought a 24 year old RV for $7,500 and gave it new life with $350 and a paint roller. No shop, no fancy tools. Just some prep, some patience, and a weekend in the dirt. Here's how we pulled it off:

#1 trick to RVing and Vanlife on a budget is getting comfortable with DIY

AC motor went out, instead of paying close to $1k to have a repair tech come out we've learned how to replace the motor ourselves. Total cost, $80 and a few hours of our time.

Remember to look up and enjoy the sunset. World is feeling dark right now and the bad news just keeps coming, enjoy the little things in life and the beauty around you and keep going.

First time experiencing snow since we starting living tiny 6 years ago. We were worried how the RV would hold up to freezing temps but have been pleasantly surprised just how well insulated this rig is. These old Winnebagos are built to last

In the final stages of painting the RV! Here's our breakdown

1. 3M eraser wheels work great on decals but ONLY on decals that are not totally dry rotted.

2. Any decal that's been sun damaged has to be sanded to remove

Can't think of a better way to spend an evening

Been prepping the RV for paint for the past couple weeks and excited to report that the RV is finally fully prepped for paint! Planning on having a full fresh coat of paint within the next couple of days!

Sunset vibes ✨

We've been really enjoying the cooler weather fall has been bringing. After spending the summer with temps well over 100° finally being back in the 60°s has been just what we needed. We generally try to travel with the weather but it's not always possible.

There isn't many things better than a campfire on a cold fall morning.

The reality of RV projects. Every surface is covered in tools or supplies, can't move anywhere, and everything is a mess. Still wouldn't trade fixing up this RV for anything though and being a small space it's quick to clean up afterwards
