We’re Renovating a Camper!

We bought a 2005 21′ Springdale Camper from Facebook Marketplace in October of 2020 and are in the process of completely renovating it. Click below to check out our most recent blog post!

I’ll be posting updates on our progress, what we did & why we did it, reviews of products that we used, and helpful tips/tricks we’ve learned along the way if you’re also interested in renovating a camper yourself!

Once we’re ready to hit the road (hopefully Spring 2021!) We’ll be documenting all of our trips including where we stay, the route we take, how much the total trip ended up costing, some of our favorite memories made, and more!

I’ll be sharing different recipes for food we make over the campfire (and from our little camper kitchen) to inspire your own cooking the next time you go camping!

Make sure you’re also following along on our Instagram!

... and we’re off! Heading to our very first campground with the camper!

I know it’s been a hot minute since we’ve shared any camper updates but that’s just because there really hasn’t been any 🤷🏼‍♀️😫🤣

D.J. got to show off his marshmallow roasting skills yesterday! My aunt and uncle have their own camper and site for the season at Pioneer Park Campground and we tried booking our own campsite for the weekend but unfortunately they were already all booked up by the time we called. Lesson learned we need to start booking all out trips NOW. This week we’re gonna plan out our summer and all the different places we wanna go. We’re starting local and places close to PA just to make sure everything’s good with the camper and we know what we’re doing, then plan on taking another big cross country trip towards the end of summer! Even though the camper isn’t 100% ready yet we officially have our first camping trip booked for the weekend of June 11-13. We need to start getting all our camping supplies rounded up so please drop us all your camping necessities below! ⬇️

Got the blinds hung up this weekend! We’re eventually gonna make little shelves to go above the windows and make them all cute but for now it’s nice that they’re not nakey anymore & people won’t be able to creep on us when we don’t want them to be 👀😂.

Things are really coming together in the camper you guys! We were so productive today and worked on a lot of little things that will really impact the finished look. What fun things did you get into today or have going on this weekend?!

Figured we were overdue for some updated progress pics, so here they are! Today we’re gonna be sealing up that back brick wall with some polycrylic, trimming the rest of the camper, and spray painting the base of the dining table and getting it screwed in. You guys, I’m really thinking the end is in sight!

Please excuse the missing cushion, but wanted to share an update of the daybed! Us moving to a new townhouse was the perfect opportunity for us to retire some of our older things to the camper, like our old couch cushions! Over these next few weeks I’m gonna be sewing new covers for them to match the cushions I’m gonna make for the dinette!

Hi friends! Sorry we’ve been a little MIA lately, we’ve just been super busy with some other big things going on between D.J.’s dad’s liver transplant and moving into our new townhouse! Don’t worry, we’re hoping to be back in the camper sometime this week and really try to get things wrapped up! Our new townhouse is 3 bedrooms and D.J. is setting up his office in the basement which means the third bedroom is my office/craft room. I just splurged and bought myself an @officialcricut from my favorite ladies at @joann_stores. I still have my free sewing lesson from when I bought the sewing machine to make our gnome hats for Halloween and they’re gonna teach me how to make the cushion covers for the daybed! 😩🥰 What other fun projects should I make for the camper?! Someday I’d love to be able to make my own sweatshirts like @ohsarahjean! I seriously love my sweatshirt so much and wear it almost every day. When I ordered it she also sent me her new “Happy Camper” design. They are literally the perfect campfire sweatshirt because they’re oversized, comfy, and so stinking cute!
