Join us on an incredible journey as we transform our old Ford motorhome on a budget of just £500! In this episode, we tackle the challenge of keeping warm during chilly nights by installing a Halcory diesel night heater. But that's not all - we also add some enchanting lighting to set the mood and use our sewing skills to recover and reupholster all the seating area cushions. Watch as our motorhome starts to shine with a fresh, vibrant look. The transformation is truly astonishing! Subscribe and stay tuned for more exciting updates on this incredible project.
