Take a tour of our remodeled motorhome (links to items below), and check out all the things we did ourselves! We renovated a 2004 Jayco Granite Ridge 3100SS Class C RV. The Class C was a great fit for us, because we can tow our Jeep! We are all about DIY projects that allow us to BE FREE! #BeFreeBenson #rvdiy #classc #rvremodel #rvlife #rvaccessories

I’m a new subscriber. I enjoyed seeing your Class C renovation and ideas. I’m 69 and hubby 80 and we are considering buying a Class C to live in full time. I love the idea of using strippable sticking wall paper to make it cozy. I had that idea this week and then saw your video. Thanks so much. I’m saving your video so that I can review it when our time comes to move. This is our working up to year plan. I also started a KZfaq channel “CounselorSue - Creativity & Living Life” I’m new to all of this so learning and doing. One of our videos got a lot of interest “Two Seniors Camping” which surprised us. Cheers.

@@befreebensondiy Thank you so much for subscribing. One day I hope to have enough subscribers to supplement our senior income. We both were self employed most of our years and don’t have a company pension, just our government senior pensions, so living simply in a Class C might be a little more manageable and hopefully we’ll be able to one day supplement our income with our channel. Once again, thanks so much for your support. Stanley was born in Belfast, became an electrician, practiced there, came to Canada when he was 21 and eventually got his Canadian licence to be an electrician here. I mentioned your channel to him, about adding electrical receptacles and he was quite interested, naturally. Cheers!

This was a great video and your cottage is lovely 🌹 When you painted the walls and cabinets did you sand them first or just clean?

@befreebensondiy 6 ай бұрын

I have done it both ways on several different campers. I have used sand paper, also liquid sand paper and have just cleaned it well. Some form of sanding works best for long term use and maintaining the best finish. Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching!!!

@julierichardson1242 Жыл бұрын

Wow!! Looks amazing! I need more info on the painting process please. Did you sand? And what paint did you use? I’ve heard many horror stories about peeling paint etc .. thanks in advance!

@befreebensondiy Жыл бұрын

You can sand, you can use a chemical sanding agent, or you can just use primer. Depending on the surface. I would recommend either sanding or using the chemical agent if your doing cabinets, but also priming with Kilz original. Then I used the Behr cabinet and trim paint. I would recommend thinning it just a little if using a sprayer. Thanks for watching!!!

Does the engine have to be continually running while occupying the van?

@befreebensondiy 8 ай бұрын

No. Lights will run of the RV battery (separate from the engine battery) until it dies. The fridge can run on propane and the battery. It also has a gas generator that can run all of the electric system using gas from the main gas tank. Once below 1/4 of a tank the generator will shut off to keep you from running out of gas completely. Thanks so much for watching!!!
