OUR ULTIMATE RV MAKEOVER
When we sold our first RV and bought an older motorhome – a 1999 Country Coach that we affectionately call “CC” – we knew we wanted to renovate it. We set up our RV in Enterprise, Oregon on the Airbnb property of our RVing friends Brett and Danelle. And Julie’s Aussie interior designer friend Jane Brown jumped on a jet and flew 8,000 miles to come help us make CC look a million bucks. Together, we pulled off a complete interior makeover of our RV – off-grid, on a budget, in under a month.
We filmed the whole thing to create the “Ultimate RV Makeover” series. We share YouTube videos, blog articles, and social media posts with photos, tips, stories and more, on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. Follow us to be part of the journey as we take our original CC from “before to after” sharing our construction process and the final reveal. We hope you love the journey and end result as much as us!
Whether you’re considering renovating an RV, tiny home, apartment or a house. We hope you pick up some fantastic ideas, tips and design suggestions – and above all, enjoy the transformation!
