We're gonna have this really cool view you're gonna be able to see out the window when you
have dinner! Hi, explorers welcome back to our RV renovation! This week I am so excited to share
with you a new space that we created literally out of nowhere. We did not have a dining place
a place to eat at all. Not one in here at all. The previous owner ripped it out completely
on the slide-out and just left this chair there and a little table I think and that was it. And
so we had to figure out where the heck we were gonna put this so there's a couple of issues
that prevented us from just coming up with the solution right away. The RV came with a very ugly
jack knife sofa bed. This is our coach and we're going to get about this ugly thing.
So we got rid of it and we had to figure out how to make this into our primary dining space,
workspace school space so it had to be significant it had to be sturdy and because I really love
interior design it had to be beautiful so we had to match all of those things and in this space we
definitely didn't have enough room to put a full table with chairs on each side and another issue
that we ran into is we have beautiful big windows and why would we want to cover those and so
we had to figure out a way that we would not block any of that natural light and our views
and bring it all together and the solution, i'm so excited to share with you. I always look at
real kitchens, not RVs sometimes i look at those but primarily just kitchens regular kitchens and I
found what I thought was just my dream kitchen and if I wanted to make that a reality here in the RV
now this logistically could be sort of a nightmare but Chris is just so
talented and I knew that he could do it! I knew that he could pull it off.
I think it would but look it doesn't close like oh it's hitting it and i just gotta sit here
and wait there's the other home depot buyers point and left me I'm not judging this better
thank you
this week is a bit of a mission i thought they all worked every week is tough this week
i have to build a bar height all right but uh a dining room table gonna come across here full
disclosure i'm not a carpenter or a professional so kind of making this up as i go along
i bought some corner braces that i'm gonna use to make sure that the legs in the middle don't shift
these are a little long by about half inch because it's touching the rv through the hole
so i'm gonna trim off with some bolt cutters make sure these are already on because you're
not gonna you're not gonna get them on if you trim the end of it you're ruining the thread
it's starting to look like something it kind of looks like a mountain dew almost
there you go happier yeah you might want to get your shot glasses still rolling
damn fine cut finally got the top on to the table that we're making all right it's starting to get
there looking pretty cool and the idea is morgan just didn't want to see any underneath so we're
going to cover up underneath with just some uh here's some three quarter inch or a quarter
quarter inch plywood um to go underneath all right dude what do you think so far oh
you're not even looking at it you're gonna have this really cool view
you're gonna be able to see out the window when you have dinner
the other thing that i did was i purchased a couple of brackets
to go to the side just to give it a bit more support
that is one coat of painting done two coats of prime it's two o'clock in the morning so
i'm gonna let that dry take a look in the morning in the day time see if i miss anything to stick
with our scandinavian theme that we've been going for we wanted everything to stay with the light
and airy look in natural finishes so we found some really cool chairs on amazon that will link below
that are not only beautiful they're lightweight and the best part they're stackable so we are so
excited about these a little too excited and they were fun but they came flat packed so obviously
we had to make that competition because we're going to see who could build it the fastest okay
anymore wait cheers
how does it feel we need mine it feels wonderful all right jonah's turn what do you think
it's even kind of high for him right he's three years old it's very light which is nice
i guess right that's the whole reason we got them so we can stack them and get fit the big reveal
i'm so excited about this okay this is something that i thought was totally lame at first i'm like
chris you've got this is so dorky this is so lame and he totally sold me on it and
oh my gosh we've already used it and we love it it's so cool good job thanks a projector?
this is the tv and we can play it and it's going to be huge like
our own movie theater it projects the image onto a wall or a screen or even onto the side of the rv
at nighttime if you're outside having a campfire what do you think jude how cool is that so cool
what's up with some ugly marks on the walls that paint in them this here is also
a movie screen for the projector
ready fly what do you think jonah
doesn't want to go inside movie night
thank you guys so much for watching we are definitely
narrowing in towards completing this rv right we still have a couple spaces to go bedroom check
check if you look behind us obviously we're gonna have to come up with a solution for this
which i think needs to be a fireplace a beautiful gathering spot for all of our holiday festivities
however chris has some conflicting opinions on that but we'll see but next week next
week it's going to be a real stinker yeah so i'm sure that's going to come to you
that's going to be a fun one to watch so make sure you join us we also have to get a truck
and we are finding it hard i guess because inventory is so low so if you know like some
tips on finding a used truck and what kind of truck should we get a lot of people let me ask
this question real quick and started cutting okay i've been told that you know you can get a ford
f-150 with the 3.5 ecoboost engine and it would be great boy big john told us that yeah
and and the rv is for the most part it says it's halftime towable right so that
seems logistical but we are going to be like traveling like all over i mean we want to go
to all states crazy in this thing terrain hills mountains is this gonna work with the ecoboost
or should we be looking for something i mean is it more expensive now diesel we need way more
miles out of it in the long run and save money do we probably should get it between a diesel if we
go for a diesels get something bigger like a two f-250 or 2500 for f-350 i don't know
please in the comments let us know any tips that you have for finding it what we should be looking
for because we need it like yesterday yeah we've been like looking but not seriously looking uh
and we need to do that like in the next week because you're right yesterday literally yeah
so yeah help us out but thank you so much join us next week please we really appreciate it we love
having you with us on our journey and see you next week cheers how would you guys like to watch check
out our projector test it out and watch a movie outside tonight oh this yes what do you think dude
yep ready sweat
it's like hot yoga for free except we're not
in yoga we're blogging hot vlogging. I am not kidding i'm literally sweating we're okay we're
in the rv it's about 90 degrees outside and we turn the air condition off just so we can vlog
jordan is convinced that we have aliens out here somewhere who knows maybe we do
but be careful because there were reports of a bear in the area yesterday
