Renee and Shaun Tilby transformed a dated RV into a vibrant, inviting space for $8,000, emphasizing a homey, Western aesthetic.
When Victoria Childers and Lamont Landrum Jr. bought an old RV in 2019, they knew they wanted to leave the suburbs of Detroit and travel the country full-time with their three dogs and two cats. Five years later, they'vefully embraced a "work-camping" lifestyle, with Landrum taking seasonal jobs in parks, campgrounds, and farms across the country in exchange for hourly pay and a free place to park and hook up their now-upgraded RV to utilities.
The family found a fifth-wheel trailer for sale with 20% rotted flooring, which they repaired themselves, excited to create a personalized living space on wheels.
