I love seeing actual rvs and travel trailer renovations. I feel like it’s more affordable and achievable for most Americans compared to the sprinter vans
Van conversions are pretty cheap as well if your good at shopping, building it yourself and don't mind living like less is more. But RV campers are designed and come with ALL the amenities already, so it makes more sense financially. Each has their own pros and cons.
We have a rv on a sprinter chassis its 26 ft navion diesel we highly recommend it. What a well built rig very comfortable we have a king size bed 2 queens as well .we lived In it 8 months now we really enjoy it.
Amazing the space they have in their RV. It has so much storage, and the layout looked very practical for everyday living. I lived on a 42' sailboat for two years, and saw people living comfortably on much smaller boats. RVs, vans, schoolies, all remind me of boat living, and how if a vessel is made with excellent use of space and has all you need... that's all you need. Space is relative. Freedom is priceless.
I lived on a 40 foot Hunter before buying my first RV and it's actually great prep for making the transition to a motorhome. Most obviously the 12 volt systems found in both but there were other things that living on a sailboat helped with also. It was a lesson in learning to live with less.
Humans...please, language. Tsk Tsk Tsk. Enjoy where you are, but DO NOT belittle others have decided to leave the matrix & enjoy life & freedom outside of cabal control.
I love that the kitchen is not the first thing you will see when you enter the space. Good luck guys! Enjoy life! I am dreaming of doing this someday. God bless!
Great motorhome! Travel washing machine = 5 gallon bucket and toilet plunger reserved for laundry use. A bucket like that has multiple if unpredictable uses. Grey water is easy to dispose of.
She mentioned that it's hard going back to normal life but what is normal life? I think a living a life of contentment, happines and love should be normal for everyone. They are so inspirational. ❤❤❤
The RV looks beautiful inside! Small ones like that often have the shower over the toilet and everything gets wet, yuck. Their bathroom looks really nice and functional with the separate shower. The kitchen is great! I haven't seen one in the back like that, but it looks like they have a good amount of storage and definitely like the larger fridge and that they have an oven. The computer area is impressive! I've never seen a curved monitor like that. It's a shame they lost the sofa, but someone else mentioned they may be able to convert the dining table / banquette into a sofa. That would be nice as you can't really lounge on the bed. Love the white paint and the peel and stick tiles. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so, so much! Yes, we are SO happy with the layout. Haven't converted the dinette into a lounge area yet because the dinette is pretty comfy. Still need to try it!
I would jump at the chance to live in a RV like this. It's beautiful, fresh, clean and has everything that you could ever need. All I would have to do is to buy one if those RV washing machines! ♥️♥️♥️
For the same reasons I bought mine two years ago it's a little bit older a 2005 30 foot and I have lived in a full-time ever since and I haven't paid rent for two years it's been awesome living the dream is a reality when you have an RV
I'll bet millions of people would benefit from such a set up right now. It would be nice if someone made little campgrounds just for full time RV'ers where they could hook up or get services even in the off season. Perhaps designate some spaces just for short termers and others for people who want to stay put a while.
Wow, beautifully done. I love how you made the transformation with smart manageable changes as opposed to gutting the interior. That said, I’m sure this was a lot of work.
AWESOME!!! *** This is only the 2nd Musician set up I’ve seen on RU-vid.... This is extremely important to me, because I love creating music. I have been concerned that if I went to a nomadic life I wouldn’t have enough power to run a DAW and my guitars 🎸 to make music. I’m more into doing just studio work, not gigging. It would also be as a hobbyist, not to make money. 1) I am still working on having a passive money income to support me via dividend stocks. 2) Still deciding on what exactly I’ll live in for a vehicle.... Cargo Trailer / Tiny Home is my first choices ... because I can be mobile with them and if the vehicle breaks down or wears out .... I still have a place to stay 😊👍 Although a Bus or Box style truck conversion are not out of thought. 3) Being a Musician/ Guitarist ... having a secure vehicle with generous power, and room for running gear for hours like computers and Outboard guitar FX will be important. I won’t need to run an amp, but I might plug a pedal or outboard Effects into a DAW etc. 4) I need enough room to not only store some music gear, but also have a second form of transportation like a Motorcycle/ Scooter. 5) Having the same amenities as a small apartment, yet mobile to see and experience the countries Parks & sites. 6) I have other hobbies and interests like Mtn. Biking and Kayaking ... so I’ll need space for those as well. Thanks for Sharing 😊👋
Kreative Freedom I just can’t help but make you feel better, so I heard the only complaint you have if “Having to go to the Laundromat” but here in San Diego, California. Unless you live in whats called a “Luxury Apartment” or House (which is just a Apartment with a Washer & Dryer) You have to go to the Laundromat. On average $2,500 for a “Luxury Apartment” & House here in San Diego. So it doesn’t matter if you live in a Renovated RV or a “Normal Apartment” in California. You have to go to the Laundromat. Just wanted to let you know so you don’t think you actually lost the luxury of a washer and dryer or anything by moving to the RV Life. You still have to pay for it in anywhere else.
Perfect size class C for 2 people. We had one for many years. It was 30 feet with a bedroom in the back which was perfect for our family of 3. Our son loved the loft space above the cab. Miss traveling. Got to get back into it
I have the same model and love it. Paid 8k with 2900 miles on it with 50 hours on generator. Had the cab lights replaced and awning because it sat for so long. After seeing your video I'm going to upgrade the interior.
I have this Class C... got it to tend to my Ranch. cost more to insure but everyone wants a class c, takes regular gas, no expensive engine repairs, GREAT on gas. You can run your generator for 3 to 5 days on one tank. I love it! need a Ranch in Texas let me know!
Very nice remodel!! We are also coming up on our 2 year anniversary in our class C, Trixie. We love it too! Best lifestyle we have found yet. Thanks for sharing ❤️👍
Yes, your life is a total luxury and I hope you offer thanks daily for being blessed in such a way. For most of us, we don't have that kind of luxury, jobs require us to live where we work. Kudos and safe travels.
Thank you so much! We are very grateful. Chris has always worked online, but I've had many stationary jobs working hard paying conventional bills. We do love seeing the constant increase in online job options, as well. The other thing that makes this possible is that we don't have to make as much without all of those bills!
What an inspiration! Love love love the renovation. Makes me want to do the same. Innovative layout, I've never seen one set up like this and it obviously works so well. Thank you for sharing and happy trails!
@@KreativeFreedom the "incenilet" IS pricey but, no emptying anything. I'm not sure I could be the little old lady hollering "guardey loo" as I tossed my stuff out the window. LOL
Thank you so much! Yes, that mattress withstood the ultimate water damage test totally unscathed!

@@KreativeFreedom We bought the 4 inch green tea ones for our tent trailer and hope to buy a new mattress as our main bed from them as well. Great company! :)
Fabulous layout and use of space. You should make up a bunch of them for sale. Bet you'd beat out the commercial brands. One or two people could easily live in one of those for a long period of time. Only drawbacks I could see is finding a place to park while towing a car and not being able to live where it gets really cold in the winter.
Thank you so much and that's a great idea! We haven't stayed in the RV in the snow during the winter yet, but we've seen other people do it. Right now, we're spending our second winter on the Oregon Coast. It's amazing.
Decent renovation, I had a rear kitchen RV once..never again, its the roughest bounciest ride of the rig everything gets hammered and breaks..good luck!
Good video not too much excessive talking not extra talking guys seem really genuine and described in the RV life and I just want to say thanks and keep living
This is awesome! We're doing a very similar thing over here moving across Europe. I freelance making music from my laptop for a living with a pretty basic (Volkswagen T4 van-sized) recording studio - what I would give for the space for that kind of setup! haha. So cool
My son and I traveled around quite a bit in our Avalanche with a queen size bed in the bed that folds into the cabin. We got tired of getting chased out of the BLM and bought 40 acres off grid in Arizona. Was fun moving around while we did.
@@sirianemro7416 It gets pretty cold where I live. Might look over by Yuma or Tombstone areas. Look at building restrictions though unless you have the sort of budget to build. I live in my travel trailer.
@@spinderella3602 we have been looking at the Bisbee area. We want to build an earthship home. We live outside of Scottsdale & have our own well, solar, septic, etc. Really the only thing supplied is power but we put in solar & enjoy $0.00 bills in the winter & low $$ bills in the summer. We have a 1 bdrm coach which we would probably live in until the ship is built. Thanks for some points & suggestions. Stay healthy & enjoy.
Sandra Westley wow yours looks fabulous, I think your wise not to rip out all the cabinets you need storage space that’s secure if your travelling, having open shelves is great at home if that’s your thing, but travelling doors are needed to anchor everything down
You could possibly take out one of the kitchen cubboards and put in a washer/dryer machine honestly with how much cupboard you have. Would save you going to laundry mat.
Maybe you told us in another video but I would love to hear the Brand and model of this rig. I saw this unit in a video a long time ago and loved the Layout. Looked all over never seen it again till today. Love all the spaces and especially the Rear kitchen
I am old and the one thing I would like is too have the bed come down lower for getting into. Came out great! Another question is where do you state, set up?
Definitely a creative vision manifested… well done. Kinda of envious. It’s amazing what people can do/be when founded with a solid skill-set. Love the mobile home/space. Well done, you’ve obviously have a great affinity with each other’s differences. ✌🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
I see that you painted much of your wood work white which looks amazing ! The beige wall color is that the original or did you paint that and stencil too ?
Thank you so much! Actually, that was the original wallpaper that we planned on covering with something else, but once we painted it white, it looked great how it was.
That sounds great, but the expenses of running a large vehicle would be comparable, I think, to running and even purchasing a house. Firstly, there's the costly purchase of a large vehicle. Then the renovations to make it habitable. If a second hand one is purchased, there's the expense of on-going repairs and replacement parts. If a new one, there are no repairs but isn't a new RV about the cost of a house deposit? And even if new there is the cost of about a thousand dollars a year for servicing. And then there's the cost of petrol for a large vehicle. Every few days, if one is driving constantly, there'd be like a hundred dollar bill? And then there are site fees? And after about 4-5 years, the vehicle would have done a lot of mileage and be no longer new and start to need costly repairs and replacements unless one buys another new RV.
Hold on Wendy - RVs with absolutely be had with nothing mechanically wrong with them for under 20k. Which, if you finance over 10yrs can be about $100/mo. Even then, you can still buy a new one every few years and trade the current one in, like a car. Campsite fees can add up, I lived in an RV for 15months and only paid for a site for 2 nights, so my grand total for over a year for rent was $16 and $26 respectively. How did I do that? Boondocking, working in a campground and the only major modification we made was to add solar panels, a cost of about $1200. So $100/month for unlimited electricity and the ability to stay outside of campgrounds, and not in some park packed in like sardines? Seems fair.
@@FunkyTreasureHunter Brilliant! We so agree with you and never stay in RV parks crammed together. Don't know why anyone would! Also, we just ordered out solar kit. So excited!
This one is a 2004 and the monthly payment is low. We also don't constantly move around and we don't stay at expensive RV parks. Mostly State Parks and Campgrounds. And, we boondock.
@@KreativeFreedom love it! My 2 fav websites while we were out: gasbuddy.com(although Costco won 99% of the time, except in Dallas-their gas stations had a lower price if you paid cash, weird), and freecampsites.net :)
