*Bear is currently for sale in BC Canada - let us know if you would like the details!*
Get ready for a grand tour of our beloved 1996 Class A RV: Bear. After two seasons of winter road trips, we've finally finished her renovation to become the ultimate adventure cabin on wheels/ the ultimate four-season adventure rig 🔥🚐
When we bought this RV, it was in great condition but just your classic/standard RV and our goal was to turn it into a cosy cabin that we could travel in year-round.
In our renovations, we added a cozy wood-burning fireplace, custom storm windows, and a fully insulated interior (about 1 inch foam on the walls) to keep us warm on the chilliest nights (we run our water system all winter and have until -30 Degrees Celcius, no dry camping here!).
Grab yourself a wood stove here [www.tinywoodstove.com/product...] and use the code claireandjake for a little extra off.
We've also done something we have never seen before and built a dry room for ski, bike and adventure gear storage -including a custom boot heater to keep our boots toasty and dry after a day on the slopes.
The kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom have been completely remodelled and updated for maximum functionality, storage and comfort - so we have plenty of room for brewing coffee on the road, cooking up a storm and just generally enjoying our off-grid camping! ☕️
For anyone looking for DIY camper conversion or RV renovation inspiration (specifically winter/year-round travel) Bear is kitted out with some incredible winter modifications to keep all systems firing even on the coldest of nights. We give plenty of backstory on how we've turned this home on wheels into a dream rig for all-season travel, as well as showing you how she turned out!
