Oops, forgot the kitchen!

Hey everybody..... WE'RE DONE!!! I've been on the road for just a little while now. Cheyenne, Denver, Salt Lake City, now Reno. I've had a few setbacks but overall I'm glad this son of a bitch is done. I'm sick of looking at it but now I have to live in it! Here's the final before/after photos...

You guys...We're so close to done! Two new videos: This one explains how we converted two areas into drawer storage. The first used to be the storage under the dinette seating that you had to lift up to access. Forget that! It's a drawer now. The second was a low cabinet over by the bed so I...

......WHAT?! Well, it's there now so.... I'll be honest. That butyl tape was smooshed into lots of places it probably shouldn't have been. My trailer is pretty much half glue half butyl tape. Thanks for the tip! I'll make a note of this on my web series and steer other people towards more...

Sure thing! The product is Rust-Oleum's Tub and Tile refinisher. It's holding up nicely so far.

So this last week has been insane. I was trying to leave last Monday and we spent a week busting our butts to get the trailer done - but by midnight on Sunday the toilet was leaking everywhere and the bathroom door still wasn't on so me and Papa H unfortunately called it quits. So he's out of...

Another update already! In this video I refinished the countertop with Rust-Oleum Countertop Coating and like 50 hairs from my head (hairs not an intentional part of the design). Before and afters attached.

Well, in their defense it must have looked good in the 90s!

Alright! Things are....sort of moving along. Here's a new video in which I remodel the kitchen cabinets and buy an adorable microwave: Attached are some before/after photos of the kitchen area.

Alright! So some good progress: We've finished converting the dinette area into a desk/working area. I'm super happy with it.  Here's a video documenting the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LdsEQZCjv8&t=119s And below is the before and after photo of the area.  I've ordered...

Update: Here's the full video for refinishing the tub: Here what else is going on: 1. I refinished a shelf today, that will be a nice video. Also shelf paper is a pain in the ass. 2. So back when we first began I decided that I wanted to remove that....headboard area thing to make more...

New video in which I talk about the new floor and some other updates: I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Here's a quick update of what I've been working on today, refinishing the tub:

Update: So it's been both a few slow and exhausting weeks. The weather was really bad for a while with a lot of snow and below freezing temperature which made working on the undercarriage and floor difficult. But I've made good progress this week so here's a few updates: We're almost done...

Update: There are two new videos up. This one is just me painting some cabinets: This one covers the work we did to re-enforce the floor by building a metal frame underneath the structure: We're planning on adding more braces underneath the floor. Unfortunately the weather here has turned...

Hopefully just a one time leak! Nothing looks like dry rot so far so I have my fingers crossed. I'm glad we caught the problem in time. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the advice! Yeah, my initial plan has kind of gone....a little out of order. But this is a learning process for me and I'm just enjoying doing it. I actually think I've found the source of the leak. Upon inspecting the back of the trailer I found water pooling around the hot...

Absolutely! I'll take some better ones than these at some point.  Here's the starting point of the trailer. This is the dinette section that I've demoed - the center and right side of the seating area are gone, as is the table, and the top cabinets (I'm using it as an open shelf rather than...

I've made this thread to document the process of renovating my '97 Aeroite 21' travel trailer for anyone interested. I'm also doing a web series on YouTube and will be posting the links to the videos that I make.  So far I've gutted most of the accessories (curtains, cushions), the main seating...

Hi everyone! I've come over from the renovation forum of rvforum.net. So I've been wanting to "live small" for a long time now and now that I'm out of the military I have the time to dedicate myself to a travel trailer renovation project. I'm also doing a YouTube web series documenting the...
