I Converted an old RV into a TINY HOME | Full build start to finish

yo what's up it's me dulex and i just moved up to new york state my best friend has this land at his disposal he's wanting me to come live here forever so i decided to pick up this travel trailer you already know how i do it bought it used i'm going to be rebuilding the inside it's outdated so we're about to get this work done in [Music] here [Music] [Applause] all right that's a tour of the rv let's get to work starting on the bedroom [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] bye [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] so [Music] i had to finish the bedroom first so i could sleep in there while i'm finishing everything else but i'm going to take on the bathroom next [Applause] [Music] oh no [Music] do [Music] i had a lot of work to do as far as the sink went and i decided to do something a little bit different by using a wood bowl and just waterproofing it with epoxy with epoxy mixture then i just drilled out the bottom and put in a drain and i just used a regular faucet [Music] so there was a lot of moisture that was getting inside behind these walls and they started peeling off and they also only had this tiny little strip of double-sided tape holding that on because i don't want to have mold inside the walls and have to take apart the shower again and that's how they had it set up so let's get to work on that [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] about to turn this on see if it works see how wet this gets in here [Music] okay does this work [Music] [Music] [Music] wouldn't it be funny if i did all this and didn't even fit [Music] so oh i'm finally done with the bathroom so since i can actually sit here and take a it's time to start in the living room [Music] it's so good it's still good it's still good this is after one day of sitting oh you can't make this up look at this you can't make this up bro all right so while i'm sitting here playing warzone i just realized that i need to build a tv stand for the rv so i think it'd be pretty cool if it like came up out of the cabinet i need to head back to the workshop [Music] so the structure of this hidden tv cabinet is actually a lot more simple than you might think there's just two compartments one in the back that houses the tv itself and then one in the front that looks like a shelf i mean it basically is a shelf so here i'm just building the carcass and then the front facing shelf that makes it look like a regular cabinet then you just install the lift into the back section and then boom there you go you have a hidden tv it works this guy sucks well i was back in the war zone again you know what i just need to go finish building some stuff you know what i'm going to do the table and do the table and chips see you later [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so this right here this is looking like um water damage i'm gonna pull this up yep look at that on the other side of this fridge there's a vent out there and they'll cover on it so when it rains if the water comes in sideways it's just gonna rush water in it's gonna come down underneath and then come right here yeah over here it's clean if the easiest way to get the water damage is to just take it down a layer but if it was like really bad and it was going all the way down you would have to cut it out and then put new wood down inside that [Music] hole [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] so so now that i got the floor done the only thing i have left is the kitchen then i'm done with the whole trailer so let's finish it up [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so these lights we got right here they suck basically all the lights in the entire trailer are on the same line so what i'm gonna do is add a switch that'll be able to control these three lights right here that i'm gonna rewire with my own puck lights so [Music] with all the lighting and wiring done now it's time to head to the workshop and build the cabinet doors [Music] so [Music] all right so now the sink is finally hooked up i got the water lines connected so i'm going to turn on the water pump and see if anything's leaking right now so i'm going to hit the switch and now i'm going to if this is leaking under here so far so good ladies and gentlemen we have a sink because the sink that i made is about three feet wide so that's huge so i needed to be able to utilize that space while it's not in use so i basically just made a small section of counter that goes over the top of that with some handles and i just made this out of some pine one by fours i can show you this slide out pantry that i put in here that's hidden inside the wall so it just slides out like this so you can put in spices or food or whatever else you need to put in there and completely out of the way once that wall is covered up nobody's going to know where that is so i got a few little finishing touches to finish up before i'm completely done with the trailer but let me show you guys what it looks like before i finish all the trim and stuff like that final tour video will be coming out after this [Music] [Music] so thank you guys for watching this video all the way to the end i know it was pretty long i had a lot of stuff to fit into this one tiny video so i think it's probably gonna run like 20 25 minutes but i got a few things i wanted to tell you i'm completely done with this trailer that you just watched me build and i actually live in it full time now so get ready for the tour video of this coming out very soon but back there off in the distance you can actually see my truck and a tiny trailer i'm doing a truck camper for my truck and rebuilding that travel trailer so stay ready for that that's all i had for you guys watch out for the tour video coming for this trailer soon and i'll see you guys in the next one later oh ah oh that one hurt oh just i can't i can't keep doing these flips man never at ease i don't know a limit chasing a dream i don't know where sleep is i got a queen she led me to eating she raped like a pizza she snapped me to sniff it well overdue for that link up in person text me to fall through his murder she wrote it still up with courage of doing the service pull up to the crib i'm equipped with the breaststrokes cut throat from the low low when no love goes women buddy buddy like it's been

Great remodel, but I'd be really concerted about the weight of some of that stuff. If you're really gonna live and drive that thing, you need to take your fuel economy into account. Not to mention trying to get the thing up any kind of an incline. It looks like he used a lot of real wood on the furnishings. That shit is heavy.

Complaints aside, looks fucking good. If you could get the same thing done with half the weight you could make a serious killing building and selling these kinds of remodels.

Looks great but isn't it still an RV? I was expecting them to build a foundation and possible additions. Keep it up tho!

I kinda laugh he complained about possible mold in the shower. Then does literally nothing to show how his remodel prevents water from getting behind what he's built. It doesn't look like he put any sort of sealing material between the metal and bottom\back. Nor does it show if he did so with the wood in between or on the sides. And then the structure he builds around the door, it doesn't appear he sealed some possible gaps there either.

Great watch, thanks. Other yt'bers would have stretched this to a 12 video series, but this is just satisfying work from beginning to end.

Looks cool but I honestly would've left it as is, it wasn't really outdated. Besides, I'd focus more on making it insulated for the winter, especially the belly

[u/Awesam]

He said the water damage was coming from behind the fridge but never moved the fridge to get behind it

[u/naturalbornkillerz]

I'm not sure I would use the word stunning? But it's pretty cool
