We are John & Samantha from the UK. We bought an American 5.7 litre V8 Ford RV in July 2021. Our plan is to spend the rest of 2021 and early next year rebuilding the RV to a nice condition vehicle once more. But now though the RV is in a pretty poor state, having been off the road for many years. Using our Youtube channel link below, please do follow us on our journey to renovate the RV, we look forward to you subscribing to the channel and coming along. --> Vintage RV Adventures Channel

The motorhome project internal rebuild is now almost complete, our trips around the UK in her don’t seem all that far away now, just a little further to go with the internals, then we need to concentrate on the mechanical side of things like replacing deteriorated rubber components for the suspension, and replacing more braking parts.
The door step into the motorhome is finished with aluminium checker plate. The price of sheet Aluminium is through the roof. I was originally quoted £113 for 4 fairly small pieces of metal from eBay which I thought was plain ridiculous, and so we never bought that. We ended up going to a local steel holder, and they wanted £100. In the end we didn’t buy the two end plates, and managed to then get the 2 plates for £60 including vat, which frankly I still feel is a stupid price for a small amount of sheet metal.
The headboard for the lower double bed is finished with lovely material. With Samantha’s guidance, this has turned out lovely.
Samantha has also been having a bit of a clean up around inside, now a lot of the dirty, dusty work is complete.
At the end of the video we take a sunny day trip to Brean Sands in Somerset, but not with the motorhome. We took advantage of some super parking directly on to the beach. Both Samantha and I, and our German Shepherd dog had a great day just chilling, walking along the beach, and we went for a drink at the local beach front cafe. We are hoping to take the motorhome there for a day trip, or even a night stopover, if we can find a nice overnight spot to use.
