Newcomer With a Renovation Video Series

[Katammers]

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 project. 

So far I've gutted most of the accessories (curtains, cushions), the main seating area/dinette, and the top bunk. I've had some flooring issues that I've had to deal with and I'm also currently prepping the entire interior for repainting.  I traded my lime green Ford Fiesta for a Ford F150 to pull the thing. 

The future of the project involves re-doing the upholstery on the bench cushions, constructing a desk/dining table, renovating the bathroom (vanity, sink, redoing the tub, etc.) and adding storage and other things I need to live. My dad helps with the heavier physical-labor things and serves as adviser and general negative-Nancy. 

I've got a date with a camping spot in Vegas in April and then it's on to Los Angeles for a while. So it's a race to get this thing looking snazzy and roadworthy by April.

I'm happy to be a member of the forum and if you'd like to follow my renovation you can do so with the first episode here:
