A couple decided to leave conventional life and travel full-time in a Class C RV. They sold luxury vehicles and their home, with their kids already being homeschooled due to the pandemic. They purchased a 31-foot 2004 RV in cash “as-is,” with under 60,000 miles and original furniture and decor. The RV had extensive outdated features, including brown wood cabinetry, rusting metal handles, original carpet, dated patterned furniture, valances, gray wallpaper, and a floral border. Stained yellow plastic appeared in the refrigerator, shower, sinks, ceiling vents, and air conditioner. They recognized the RV needed a serious makeover to feel comfortable and peaceful, aiming to build a modern-inspired tiny home on wheels despite limited DIY experience.
"“We decided to change the game and break out of the system,” Ashanti writes on the travel and lifestyle blog she runs with SonJe. “We sold our luxury vehicles, sold our home, our kids were already being homeschooled because we took them out when the pandemic hit, and we bought a Class C RV. We gutted it out and renovated it.”"
"They bought the 31-foot RV in cash “as-is.” “There were under 60,000 miles on the odometer, and all of the furniture and decor were from the original manufacturer,” Ashanti says."
"The 2004 RV was covered in brown wood cabinetry with rusting metal handles, and it still had its original carpet, dated patterned furniture, and valances - plus gray wallpaper and a floral border. The plastic in the refrigerator, shower, sinks, ceiling vents, and air conditioner was stained yellow, Ashanti remembers."
"“The unit was seriously outdated and needed a serious makeover,” she says. “We knew that we would never take a shower or feel a sense of peace if we didn't make major changes. Neither my wife nor I had ever completed a DIY project of this magnitude, but our goal was to create a modern-inspired tiny home on wheels.”"
