I’d love to see how you’re progressing with all of the house renovations. The other stuff is great (aaaaaall the Amazon return pallets 😂) but really got into you for investment advise, renos and flips x
SAME! I miss the rental videos and such but they do the pallets because they kinda got on track with RU-vid doing those and it probably helps the algorithm. I say keep this one for pallets since that is what it grew on and start a new one for all things investing / home things!!! I’d watch both
Content aside, which I always enjoy. I have to say watching your videos I don't recall ever seeing two people that seem more made for each other as a couple as you two. Truly great to see, your daughters are very lucky young ladies. Keep up the great work and content.
Make sure you share the bathroom when you finish it- amazing camper! You should do a Motorhome next. I’m trying to convince my husband to buy one and renovate it with me. So far he is not biting 😂!
Looks Awesome!! I'm currently helping my daughter and son-in-law with a restoration of at 1972 30' Airstream Ambassador. We repaired the frame (like you did), and gutted the entire inside, walls and all. Replaced all the plumbing and electrical, took out the vista windows and cleaned/resealed/reinstalled (had to get to them when the inside skin was off so we could use buck rivets to reinstall). Installed new propane lines, and just finished installing 1 of 3 fans. Still have A/C to do then reinsulate and reapply the inside skins. We'll be painting the skins much like you did once we get them back on and all the holes cut for the new electrical outlets. Then a new floor, walls, cabinets, frig, stove top and microwave. Would love to see how you renovate your bathroom. Our layout was exactly like yours was. We opted for a composting toilet and converted the old black tank to a gray tank (put a valve on end of the sewer pipe so the gray water flows into the old black tank). We've got the drains in for a shower, in the same spot it looks like your putting in yours, so seeing how you approach that monster would be awesome. We started this build in mid March and hope to finish by mid July. I'm retired and my son-in-law took 14 weeks off from work so we're in full time renovation mode. Best wishes on your finishing out of the Airstream.
I am a very expert seamstress and I am not hating your iron on tape for your seams. Also the way you did the cushions. Don’t hate on yourself. I am very proud of what you did. Better than a non sewer doing a bad job. Looks amazing.
OK, so it's retro and it's riveted together. "Rosie the Riveter" should fit the bill. My favorite as I've had several school buses and a huge camper from 1961 is "El Peregrino" or The Wanderer. Love you guys, too!
I have been around campers for years. You should take it to a scale unloaded and then load all of your stuff in it and check the weights as well. When you pack the distribution of weight is a big thing often over looked. Also check the tires not just for tread and dry rot but also check the date codes. Often times with campers the tires look ok but they are really old and a blow out waiting to happen. Lastly have someone check the wheel bearings and brakes!
Looks like you guys dealt with issues great as they came along! I would be worried most about abating future leak issues, keeping up with that will be the largest possible problem. Going on the road causes things to flex but, it does look beautiful.
Oh my goodness, thank you for the tip to use a scrap piece of vinyl planking to pound the pieces in place! I'm going to be laying vinyl planking soon and this is really going to come in handy. Thank you again!!
I love it and thanks for sharing all what you went through to finish it. I really like how the kitchen cabinets turned out and the cane looks better than I expected.
I love these kinds of videos from you guys because we get to see Sarah’s unique style and Jaimes handy work! Hopefully we can see the bathroom in a video in the near future 🙂 Looks amazing!
I bought a 1990 Excella 1000 about 8 years ago give or take. I worked on the renovation while living in it. Don’t try that! I finally got completely burned out & put it in storage and moved to Hawaii for what will be 5 years. I’m headed back in December to finish & get it ready to sell. The good thing is prices have increased over the years, so I’m hoping to make 40k to 50k. It’s 90% complete, so a shorter project ahead. I had to replace all 4 corners which was no fun 😢 I have $30k invested so far & still have the bathroom to gut & redo. Yours is so cute!
I just picked up a 74 sovereign and am nervous about the restoration, but having seen your video I think it will be fun. The 31’ length is a bit much so I’m considering shortening the thing, maybe even making it an off road style, thoughts? Anyone in the comments think that would be cool?
Fantastic reno... Love it. I have a 73 argosy that works fine, but someday I would like to renovate. In your video I noticed it wasn't a shell off renovation, but you were still able to replace the sub floor. Was there any issues with getting the sub floor back in to the c-channel? I would like to avoid a shell-off reno, but have seen many videos saying it better to do it that way. Another question is regarding the interior paint, which I thought looked awesome by the way. Jamie applied 2 coats of Kiltz primer and then I was wondering what brand of paint you went with for the final? Also, did you have to do anything to the walls, such as sanding or cleaning, to ensure the paint would stick. Thanks so much for your inspiring videos!
I just discovered you guys (RU-vid suggested one of your videos when I opened RU-vid yesterday) and ended up binge watching a bunch of your videos last night into really really late in the morning...you guys are amazing!!!! I only recently discovered that RU-vid had content I could learn from...I thought it was just for posting vacation videos like I do 😆. I would love to see what software you guys use to edit your videos and create the thumbnails; I've never seen that talked about on RU-vid before and everyone on here has the same thumbnail looks. I've only edited ski videos with whatever basic s/w my computer comes with which isn't able to do 90% of what I see here. I love and appreciate how honest you guys are with all that you do so I just subscribed and am looking forward to your future videos! In the meantime, I guess I need to go tear off the granny skirts from my 30 year old living room furniture 🤣. Go Blue!!
Thanks for the great video! We are starting out Airstream reno and I am curious about the tool you used for the dent removal. I see it was air powered... is that something we can rent and how did you find it worked for the dents? We don't have many and the ones we have are not creased... so I am hopeful. Thanks!
Great video awesome renovation in the beginning you were going to have two beds for the kids now you only have one where does the other one sleep just curious?
I liked the blue better on the cabinets but maybe the green looked better with the wallpaper? Also I'm not a fan of orange at all but everyone had different tastes. It is a huge job to renovate vintage RVs, you usually have to tear them down to the studs.
Wow, you both did an amazing job on the Airstream!! It looks beautiful and I can't wait to see the bathroom finished! You are such a lovely couple..💜❤💜
This is stunning! My dream is to redo an airstream. We did a 1969 FAN Styleliner last year and we adore it. Her name is Fanny. I also used a lot of fabric tape, glue etc because I also don’t sew well. I love the style you picked. Very cool!
I love the airstream. I been wanting one but I know they can be high. We had a bus that was made into a camper when I was a kid and we loved it. And the wallpaper was such a cool idea, especially on the door. We live in a mobile home and I promise my husband I wouldn't paint but I just might have to use some of that wallpaper as an accent wall.
I like how you all decorated it and the stick-on wallpaper on the inside of the door is a nice touch. The curtains look nice, including the one into the sleeping area. I love how you put the fireplace at an angle and the boarding behind it gives it a little beachy feel. Love the tabletop, and decoration on the top that goes with the pillows. Looks like you will have some room in the bathroom as well when you finish it. I like that table, which is the same kind Airstream puts in their campers. I subscribed so I can follow your progress. Great job Jamie and Sarah. Love the black rectangular sink with the gold facet, it just pops. I also like the gold on the light fixtures which also pops. The U-Shape table seating / bed is nice. You all done a great job. I have not thought of a name at this time. I also like the rattan covers on the storage and cabinet doors and handles. I have an Induction cooktop and I found a lot of pots and pans that are Induction ready, including a nice square grill pan that I found at Walmart under $30. I can use it on my NuWave Induction cooktop. Cute little Retro fridge. If I were not living with my sister, I would get either a Tiny House or an older Airstream and have a company like "Timeless Travel Trailers" fix it up for me, and I would like a sink like your, and make the cooktop and I would also add an LG Microwave/convection oven built in under the cabinet and get a dual NuWave Induction cooktop that I can put away when not using it. I want it all electric and not have to deal with propane tanks and refilling them or having to turn them off to travel in some tunnels (especially in the Northeast). I love what you are doing, taking an older trailer and giving it new life.
How about naming her “Joy”? It keeps a cute emotion theme but she’s graduating from situational happiness to the constant joy that she can choose to have in Christ :)
