TIDBITS ON WHEELS is finally ready for it’s big debut! I’ve cleaned, fluffed and decorated it all, so come on into our tiny house, and let me show you around!

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

I am so excited to finally be here sharing the full reveal of our Fifth Wheel RV renovation, which we have lovingly named “TIDBITS ON WHEELS”.  If you’ve been following along, you know we are living here with our 4 kiddos while we build a home and a dream on our 25 acres of dream Utah country land.  

Eye on the prize. Eye on the prize.

I just recently shared a look at the RV in the “pre-decor” state, but now after hours of shopping, sewing, building, and dreaming – I am ready to show you what it looks like after my favorite phase . . . decorating!

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

I’ve decided to make this post as if you were to step into our tiny house for a look around.  I’ll show you some of the cool features, how we are making this work for 6 people, and share some of the challenges we are already facing.

Please note, there is only so much detail I can share in one big reveal post, so for those of you interested in more details, I’m geared up to film and blog about it all.  Details on the lighting, flooring, kitchen, bedding, blinds, organization, challenges, solutions . . . I want to share it all, just be patient with me.

Fair warning though – this reveal has a lot of pictures, as it goes with reveal type of posts. So sit back, relax, and let’s tour! If video is your thing, I’ve filmed the tour as well.

VIDEO TOUR

RV BEFORE

The best tours always start with a “before”, so let’s get a quick reminder of what the RV looked like when we bought it.

RV Before Images

It was in horrendous condition, but we got it for a steal.  It was super dark and unsanitary. Mouse droppings, mold, stains, and not to mention – super ugly.  My kids were very very concerned when we brought it home and said we would live here. Truth be told, I wasn’t sure what we had got ourselves into either.

But the RV fit the bill, literally, it was the only one we could afford for the size, and had the sleeping space that we needed for a family of 6.  We pushed up our sleeves, dreamed the dreams, and worked tirelessly through the coldest months of the year, with a tight moving deadline. Discovering water damage set us weeks back, but we managed to get it done in the knick of time and at the end of our rental lease.

MY SPONSORS

I count my blessings and feel extremely grateful to have been able to complete this project with the help of many wonderful sponsors, whom I reached out to because I love their products.  I will be sure to mention them and link to their products in the descriptions as well as write some follow up posts going into further detail of each space. You can also find all my sources in my RV shop page, also linked below.

PHOTO TOUR

Now if you would like to come on in, I’ll show you around our completely transformed RV, designed and decorated true to my light and bright cottage romance TIDBITS style.

Standing at the front end of the RV, you get a nice view of the kitchen, the living/slash dining area, the kids bunks, and bathroom.

If you move over to the back end, you catch a glimpse of what I call, “the entertainment center” and the master suite.  Suite makes it sound way more spacious than it is.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

Let’s talk a bit about the kitchen!

THE KITCHEN

Mr. TIDBITS custom-built new cabinetry and countertops. I wanted a touch of open shelving, because I love the charm of displaying my favorite dishes and the convenience.  

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

We will have the building plans for those clever plate risers soon! They are so great for adding some vertical storage without stacking everything on top of each other.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

This big, beautiful sink and faucet is from one of my sponsors, BLANCO, in their signature and durable SILGRANIT material, with the faucet to match.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

I wondered if I would regret having such a big sink, but I haven’t for a second! It perfectly hides a tub under the made to fit cutting board and I place all the dirty dishes right in that.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

When it is full, it is time for a wash. Per one of my readers suggestions, if I wish, I can wash in the tub and toss the water outside instead of filling up the gray tank faster.

I can also see many sink baths for my littlest little, and it is the perfect place for a foot bath when the kiddos play outside all day.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

We used a peel and stick faux marble tile for the backsplash.

Here we built a slide out garbage, which is wonderful for not having to shove a garbage can in some corner.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

With the help of my friends from Dyers Online, they helped me source great prices on a new range and microwave that also doubles as a convection oven.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

The fridge is the original, and we covered it with paintable beadboard wallpaper, to go with most of the other walls in the space.  It was in good enough condition to keep, but needed hours of scrubbing. It was not fun.

THE RV BUNKS

The bunks!  I can’t imagine doing these bunks without the help from my sponsor,  Beddy’s Beds! (affiliate links)

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

I asked my IG followers what they suggested for bunk bedding, and I received hundreds of responses for Beddys.  

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

Yes, these bunks are more narrow than a standard twin size, but I am going to make a post and video with a detailed tutorial on how we made this work.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation
TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

They are so cozy, absolutely beautiful, and my kids can easily make them themselves and we avoid the messy bunk bed look. Beddy’s Beds. LIFE SAVORS!

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

I made us some small mini linen curtains for each bunk window. You can also catch all the details of the wallpaper and wall treatment in my previous post all about our RV Walls.

We rebuilt the kids closet to look more like a vintage hutch, and I felt like a super hero fitting 4 kids wardrobes into one tiny closet.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

We displayed some treasure art over here for them to look at.  One framed image is one my daughter created when we were having a hard time finding land.  It beautifully depicts our dreams and hopes, in her tender imagination.

A relative sketched this image of Jesus Christ and gave it to my daughter after her baptism.

Another daughter did this canvas painting of an RV, and how perfect to place it in our RV.

THE BATHROOM and VANITY AREA

The bathroom needed everything new.  It was so nasty. We got a new tub and much improved faux marble shower surround from Dyers Online.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

Our biggest challenge so far has been dealing with smells. This trailer sat for a long time and I think fresh use is kicking up some nasty gunk.

We’ve tried several DIY solutions, but finally called the pros and they are coming to help us out. Sometimes, that is what it takes.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

We are squeezing as much beauty and function into the small vanity area as possible.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

With a shelved mirror, a place for hot styling tools, and a beautiful vessel sink.

LIVING ROOM AREA

Moving to the living area – it was one of my biggest priorities to be able to all sit together and eat together.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

These slide outs only have room for a small sofa and a small dining table. So we built a very long bench topped with cushions and pillows, allowing all of us to sit at once.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

Then we have this long mobile table my husband built to eat, draw, and work at. It moves closer to the kitchen when I need more surface prep area and also when it is sleeping time and the 4th kids rolls out her bed, also covered with Beddy’s.

In the morning it is a simple zip up and roll back in. It’s worked pretty great.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

That’s one adjustment to tiny living we’ve had to learn.  Every task usually requires moving and adjusting something, or someone.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

The other end could potentially fit a toddler mattress, but we use it for storage since we opted to remove the space hogging, head bonking upper storage cabinets.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

I’ve added a mix of creamy white large pillows (some I made, some I bought), to offer back support while sitting on the large couch/bench.

THE BLINDS

All our roller blinds were provided to us, in partnership with my sponsor, Blindgalore.com. I’ve used their blinds so many times and swear by the quality, selection and service.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

We actually chose a variety of roller blinds to give you an idea of some great upgraded options you can have in an RV.

RV Blinds

There is no need to settle for the standard manufacturer blinds that often come with RV’s. There are some much better options!

RV Blinds

I’ll be back with a detailed post on the exact selections we picked and more about our blinds with Blindsgalore.com

THE ENTERTAINMENT/TECHNOLOGY CENTER

The entertainment wall – for lack of a better phrase.  I wanted to keep it very clean and minimalistic looking. But it also needed to function well.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

I have hung my absolute favorite piece of art I found antiquing.  Then in the “hidden” built-in cupboards is where we can push open to watch TV and work on the computer. Very handy! The lower cupboards holds reading material, printer, etc.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

Over here, I have some baskets for storage.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation


This used to be one deep coat closet, but we thought it over and decided to split it in half, giving us storage both in the front and back end – which opened up some much needed master bedroom storage.

THE MASTER BEDROOM

The master bedroom – first of all – I’ve had some readers ask – yes, we are getting a door and waiting on some special sliding track that we will need.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

 In the meantime, we get to look right at that this incredible bedding from another one of my favorite companies and sponsors, Piper Classics. This creamy white ruffled bedspread and pillow covers are what my French Farmhouse dreams are made of, and comes from the Annabelle line.  

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

It is so soft, flowy, and is backed with batting on the main section for extra cozy. I love that it hides the box the mattress is sitting on.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

I made a linen curtain to hide our clothes, hooks from Piper Classics to hand dressing items, and I have some farmhouse ticking linen storage boxes over on the other side.

Hubs made some custom nightstands and this faux beam that we use to store books, cell phones, and other things to help us relax at night.  I framed it in with some flowy sheer curtains.

The last thing I want to show you is this really beautiful and wipeable vinyl entry mat, also from Piper Classics.  I’ve learned the floors get dirty fast, and I need something that wipes down easily.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

Ok!  That wraps up the tour!  I’d love to hear what you think!  Could you do it? What burning questions do you have for me?  What did I not cover enough? Let me know so I can plan out my future content.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

I’ll be back to show more footage and details of our process for each space, so hang tight, follow me along, and I would be so flattered and appreciative if you would share this renovation with your friends or on your social channels.  It really helps me out and allows me to be able to take the time to continue to share inspiration for do-it-yourself living. Be sure to catch the photo tour on my blog, because truth be told – photography is my jam.

  1. Your daybed with the trundle bed is my absolute favorite. Could you send me some info on how you did that or where you bought it?

  2. This is very beautiful. Where did you find the cute cushions you’re using for your couch bench/pull out bed? is the bed beneath a normal twin?

  3. I would love more info on the couch and pullout bed. Your renovation came out beautifully. I’d love any info you could provide.

  4. Making repairs in your own new home is a special pleasure. Although the process is not easy, but the understanding that it is yours-native, very happy. We’re also planning big changes, and reading kit home Australia reviews. It seems to be the perfect option for our new home

  5. Hi! I love your rv makeover!! I was curious how you made the sofa and the pull out underneath it? Thanks so much!

  6. What an eye for detail as well as the horizon you have – funny to say horizon, right? living in small RV space – but you have created that expansive feel by all of your choices and design. Absolutely Beauty-full and Calming!! Brava!!
    PS. I ordered from Piper Classics in midst of the Tidbits Tour!! Thanks for ref.

  7. Hi Cami & Co,
    Yes I will have to say, like everyone else, WOW, absolutely love the layout of your RV and the way you have both decorated it. I am on my own now, in my mid 50’s and are looking at a permanent tiny home for just me, I’m not a big person, I use to be 5ft, but not anymore so I’m thinking this kind of set up would be ideal for me, but do have grandies that come and have sleep overs, think they would also.
    I’ve been looking at a lot of tiny homes & RV makeovers and yours has really stood out, absolutely gorgeous and well set out, I love it alot, so I’m hoping I can find something as beautiful as yours. I’m in Australia and everything I like is always overseas…
    Good luck to you and your family.
    Dottie xo 🙂

  8. Absolutely stunning! I’d like to know where you got the dark gray cushions for the soaf/bench. They look so comfortable!
    Thanks!

  9. Love your Reno currently working wine our own. Where did you get the dark grey sofa cushions?
    Thanks,
    Shiela Plasencia

  10. Yours is the only renovation Ive seen with those pale gray floors. Our nephew is in the flooring bs. & offered to give us a new floor for our RV at no charge. I choose my floor from the samples he had. I’d have preferred a beigey color, but the pale gray was the next-best choice. We’ll be facing south (in blistering Texas!), but also will have an RV “garage” which will affect our light. I need an glare-free bright white paint throughout, except the lower kitchem cabinet, which I think calls for a soft blue-green (MUCH bluer than green). I know the white should be neutral white (no yellow or beige) for the interior. I LOVE the paint you chose for your gray floors. Would you mind telling me what color you used?

  11. This is the MOST beautiful RV I’ve ever seen. Omg you’ve done a FANTASTIC JOB. I have a practical question for you: I want to switch out my dinette situation which is located in our slide-out. I’m concerned about the weight though. How did you determined your weight limit? I saw how you added a trundle bed to under the bench – genius. How did you determine that that was okay to do, weight wise? I’m just so blown away by your work!!!! GREAT JOB!!

  12. Wouah ! Amazing ! I love everything ! I would love to have the same. The colors are soft and the decoration is lovely. Congratulations for you work

  13. Hi Cami, I love what you guys have done with the place! My husband and I live in our 38′ fifth wheel for 6 months per year, then winter in Mexico for the other 6 months. We’ve just finished our 2nd 6-months in the RV and we love it. Now that I’ve seen what you guys have done, I’m all geared up to make updating changes to our living space! My husband has done lots of space saving things, but so far we’ve not updated with paint etc. It would be great to modernize the look. Thanks for the inspiration.

  14. This is the most creative, adorable blog post I’ve read in a long time. When we were restoring Bella Terra, we lived in a double wide manufactured home placed on the property for nearly 2 years. I wish I had thought of designing and remodeling it like this instead of the hi-low carpeting, cheesy cabinets, etc. However it was temporary living while we restored our home (we thought it was only going to take a year).
    Love everything you did with this!!!!

  15. This RV is absolutely stunning!! What a wonderful place to live!

    Question, in the beginning of your story, you said there were mice droppings. How do you keep the mice out??
    I am petrifyed of mice!!

    BUT would love an rv to travel in.

  16. Cami:
    Love, Love, Love this RV reno. Who new you could turn one of those road warriors into a beautiful home! Can I move in after you are done with it. I love Utah.

    (Just kidding. I live in Massachusetts)

  17. I luv, luv, luv it! I am nearing age 80 and must tell you that in my younger day my husband and I did a somewhat similar thing. We purchased a used 10 1/2 used, self-contained camper that we totally re-did, decorated etc. Before we adopted our family, we saved up, left our jobs, traveled the U.S. for five months. It was an adventure I will never regret. We found the small town where we would make our permanent home in the Pacific Northwest in 1969, bought our first cottage home during a severe ice/snow storm using our camper as the down payment. A few short years later having adopted our special needs children we moved to a small acreage where we farmed organically for over twenty years. I am alone now and comfortable in my moderate victorian home in town but savoring those courageous and wonderful memories of the past. So enjoy and hats off to you!

  18. I cannot remember when I have gotten so much enjoyment from reading a blog. What you have accomplished with that 5th wheel is amazing. Looking forward to seeing more

  19. Do you have a washer dryer in there? It is gorgeous! You could do air bnb after your home is built.

  20. Oh my! We did this for 2 1/2 years! We were blessed to have had the ability to buy a new RV at the time so the need to re-decorate and re-do was not in our plans. You have taken an RV new or otherwise and made it very special! Wish you guys all the best!

  21. Wow, it’s just beautiful! I love it! I have a small (18′) 1974 Shasta motorhome that I am making over and I love some of your ideas! Can’t wait to hear/see more!

    Tania

  22. hi Cami!

    Congratulations on the STUNNING Reno!

    Just admiring the dark grey sofa mattress! Did you make or buy?
    best wishes!

  23. Wow, gorgeous new little home! If any family can do it, you guys will for sure! Beautiful choices made throughout! Wishing you all the best on this new living adventure!

  24. Okay so first of all the chandeliers are awesome. The whole place to beautiful and who would not want living there. Bunk beds are do die for. You did an amazing job.

  25. Cami,
    Wow what a beauty!! Your distinctive cottage style came thru beautifully!!! You guys are a great team to make something so drab look so beautiful!!!
    Blessings to you and your crew!! I am sure it’s cramp on rainy days !! lol..lol..
    Miriam

  26. This is just so beautiful, and all of the effort shows. What a great example for your kids– that even a very forlorn and forgotten structure can be redeemed with faith and hard work. One question though– Do you plan to put in a safety rail on the top bunk bed? Even an adult can roll over in their sleep and forget where the
    edge is. They make removable railings that slide under the mattress that would be easy to retrofit. Congratulations and blessings to all of you.

  27. Fantastic! Job well done!!!
    LOVE, LOVE the functional beam! Great idea!
    As a mom of 5, I am wondering where you are keeping clothing for everyone?? And shoes?

    And please remind us about how long you anticipate living in the RV. What a brave endeavour, so happy for the memories that you are making. The kids will love telling this story to their friends and their own children. 🙂

  28. Cami, this is stunning! What a gorgeous renovation, inspiring for sure! The individual curtains in the kids’ bunk is so smart. I’d love to know more about cooking and how you’ll meet your power needs…do you have solar panels, etc. So beautiful!

  29. Wow, stunning! I’m from Australia and we spent nearly 11 years living full time and travelling the country in our 5th Wheeler, just the 2 of us, but I didn’t have the imagination to decorate ours like you have 🙂 . It was a really fun time for us and we loved every minute of it – I especially loved that it only took an hour to clean the place. Left lots of time for other good things – happy hour, touring the areas we stayed in etc. 😀

    How exciting have such a beautiful place to live while building your home – all the best to you and your family.

  30. I want, I want, I want!!! I never thought I would until I saw this amazing renovated RV. Brilliant work you two!!

  31. What a lovely home you have made. Very easy on the eyes. A concern for me is the floor vent facing the steps; it looks bent upward and I can see little feet being cut if attention wasn’t applied to it. A very nice home indeed!

  32. I absolutely love what you’ve done!!! It’s so light and airy and I would even say elegant. It looks so completely different than when you started…just lovely!!!

  33. Standing Ovation!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely breath-taking! What a transformation! You not only made it beautiful, but it is so clever and smart! I love the idea of the faux beam, double duty table and island prep, sink tub, smart storage, and all the details you’ve added in to make it your familiar homey style! So inspiring! I know this took immense work, vision, and perseverance, and the journey is just beginning! You’ve done it again! Way to go in showing what is possible!

    1. Hahaha! Thank you, thank you (bow, bow). 😉 . It took a lot of ingenuity to get 6 people to live in here, somewhat comfortably! Excited for the journey ahead – starting with SMALL and simple things 😉 . Hugs!

  34. Oh wow! It really looks beautiful, Cami! That first picture made me smile and say, “Yep! That’s Cami’s beautiful styling!” It really looks amazing. I’m sure being onsite while your home is built, will make this all worthwhile. I’d say you have a beautiful space to live, in the meantime. Small maybe but wonderful!

    1. Thank you Cecilia! I guess I don’t know how to do anything but my style. That’s why I’d be a terrible interior designer for clients! I sure appreciate you coming by! Small but pretty, I can do that 😉

  35. I think it is amazing and love all you have done. It is so pretty but practical,you two are quite a duo.

  36. Your RV looks beautiful but where are you putting your food? Looks like your cubbord’s are filled with dishes. I’m thinking of my 3 boys and how all that white would not last a week! Ha! Ha! You are amazing.

    1. Haha! The food is a tricky part! We have a decent size pantry cupboard, and I buy a few things at a time. I’m trying to figure all this out good so I can share that because it is difficult. But I had to have my pretty dishes 😉 . And the good news is, it takes only an hour to scrub the house clean, even with all that white!

  37. It’s absolutely beautiful! Great job! Quick question. Not sure if I missed it but where do you put the kitchen table when you’re not using it/when you pull out the bed under the bench?

    Thanks!
    Amber

    1. Yes, you missed that! The table moves around. It comes closer to the kitchen when I need more prep surface and when we pull out the bed. But most the time it is by the couch where we eat together, play, work, etc. I’m just glad we can all sit and eat at the same time.

  38. You & your husband did an AMAZING job!!!! It is just beautiful!!!
    RV manufacturers should get their act together & realize what people want now days—& it’s NOT BROWN, UGLY! It’s your bright, light, fresh, lovely décor ideas!!!!

  39. You and your husband are amazingly talented! It looks fresh and bright and even elegant. Who would think those words would be appropriate for what was once a filthy RV?!? Do you have plans for an outdoor living area?

    1. Thank you Mary! Elegant RV! Who knew that was possible! Our next big project is to get the outside looking good and make a nice outdoor cooking, eating, relaxing area. Desperately needed! We’ve had so much rain lately I can’t even do anything but mop up muddy floors!

  40. Hi Cami – The RV looks – well … not like an RV at all – you did an amazing job. I am looking forward to reading more about life in the RV with 4 kids and your adventures to building your dream house on your land.

    1. Thank you Diane! I’m excited to get it all figured out and share more about the actual living part. It’s already been such an adventure! For good and bad!

  41. Hi There! First of all, I want to say it is breathtakingly beautiful! I am used to being in RV’s because growing up my parents had several of them. They worked hard and could upgrade the family RV throughout the years, but as nicely appointed as they were, they don’t rival the beauty of yours. You truly have a gift for conveying practical elegance! The RV is bright, light, airy, roomy, and lovely. Great job to you and your husband and also to your brave children. What a fun “ life experience” this will be. I commend your efforts, and I think the designers of RV’s should take note. Your design is a breath of fresh air!

    1. How do you suppose we can catch the attention of RV manufactures 😉 . They could use a few hints! I’ve actually never camped or owned an RV, ever. My husband did growing up a lot so he says it feels like camping. Camping to me was always tents, and I hated it! So it just feels like a tiny home to me! Probably a good thing! Thank you so much for stopping by!

  42. Where’s that clapping emoji when you need it? Well, Cami and Hubs, you certainly have transformed this RV home…and then some. Congratulations on your tenacity with giving it such impressive style and function. Cheers, Ardith

  43. This is amazing!!! What an incredible transformation. I am not a camper, but this is just perfect. I know it must have been a lot of work, but you and your family will have many years of enjoyment together. Just WOW! Best, Kim

    1. Not a camper here either! But I always had to do it in tents, so this feels like luxury camping. Thank you so much!

  44. Beautiful!! I remember when you were in the rental and seeking for inspiration. This gives me such inspiration not only for our travel trailer but for our home! I’ll be checking the shop list but please include all details about the dishes, hooks, all of it. 🙂

  45. Wow, Wow, Wow!!! You guys have taken RV to a whole new level, and what an inspiration you are to the RV’ers out there. Although we traditional homeowners are getting so much insight from your tricks and talent as well.

    My nephew bought an RV last year, which he & his family (wife & 3 kiddos), use it for recreation a lot. In fact, I sent them one of your, “free camper prints”, which I know they will put up in their space. Thank you! I will definitely be sharing this post with them, as I know they’ll find some incredible ideas and inspiration from you.
    Congratulations Tidbit Family!

    1. Hello, it’s an amazing job, i am interesting to do something similar, how hard was paint walls, and kitchen cabinet? And floor, its real wood? Thank you so much for you share

  46. You are so talented. I love the fact that you have everyone in this new home. Others may have bought two trailers. These are memories that you will cherish. Maybe not now but definitely in the future. You never cease to amaze me.

    1. Some days are not cherished! But there are these moments of twisted joy watching my kids learn to sacrifice, be tidy, and suffer just a bit. Haha! Is that wrong? 😉

  47. Beautiful job! Truth be told, the beam in your bedroom might be my favorite idea. Beauty on the front, function on the back. Can’t wait to hear some of your reality stories – the pros and cons of living tiny with 4 kids. I enjoy your blog.

  48. So Captivating! I’ve even been inside and I still had my eyes glued to your video. Great job sis! You are an inspiration!

  49. Absolutely beautiful! You have a talented husband to build cabinets, tables etc. for you! And your sense of style is fantastic! Love this entire space!

  50. You’ve done a beautiful job. No, I would only be able to do that for a short vacation. God bless you as you build your dream home in a beautiful part of God’s world.

  51. Cami, you and your husband have done a beautiful job! This is an elegant and efficient diy! What a fun adventure for your family, one they will never forget. You are truly an out of the box thinker. Thanks for sharing!

    1. Hello Cami, I happened upon your blog via Pinterest. Renovating an RV is a pipedream of mine. My parents owned an old Itasca RV when I was a kid and I have wonderful memories of the adventures my family had in it growing up. Just an FYI, I am the oldest of 4 kids so I grew up in a family of 6. Today I am the mother of 7 and as much as I would like to renovate an RV/bus finding one that fits our crew and is cost effective is a challenge. I have a girlfriend who recently renovated a bus with her husband into an RV for their family of 5.5. She is expecting their 4th baby. It has been great to whiteness their journey but just as they were completing their Reno. I found a newer RV that would fit their family priced at $16,000. My friend said that $16000 was about what they put into their renovation. Keeping in mind that their renovation was a bus conversion which meant installing plumbing and electrical in addition to cabinetry, walls ect… So after that long explanation, I have 2 questions: Is an RV renovation cost effective and, if you don’t mind sharing, what was your initial budget and overall budget? Thank you so very much!
      With Gratitude,
      Sara
