Hey guys, welcome to 2021. Hope it's treating you well! This year is off to an exciting start because after ONE WHOLE YEAR (how?) we have finally completed our vintage camper remodel. For a little background - we bought this camper in 2019 for $600 with the plan to maybe turn it into a photo booth, maybe just a camper? Honestly we didn't think that we would even have time to touch it in 2020 because we were so busy with our photo booth business - Lamphouse Photo Co. WELP. With all events and weddings canceled in March 2020 we started work on our 1968 Play Mor 140. AND! We documented the entire process on our YouTube channel: Trailer Trash to Treasure Which, (woo-hoo) just passed 1k subscribers! We worked on the camper every week and finished it almost exactly a year from when we started. Here's the before tour: First the exterior. Oof. Poor guy had been given the rattle can mossy oak treatment and it was doing his cute shape NO favors. Next up, the "kitchen" BIG USE OF QUOTATION MARKS THERE ; ) What's there to say, it was basically gone. Disintegrated. Like the little scalloped edge on the cabinet though so style points for that I guess. Here's the dinette that would fold down into a bed: The other ~bed~ Would you sleep there? So we got to work with the help of my dad, Dave and mom, Connie and demolished the interior first: We then took it down to the frame, rebuilt the walls, ceiling, stripped the skin and repainted the exterior and ta-da, here's the final product: The kitchen after: I think the kitchen might be my favorite part of the camper. We installed a new faucet, built upper and lower cabinets, added a water pump and water system and new hardware of course. Next up, the front "dinette" We ended up opting for storage and turned the dinette into a permanent couch/bed. We're tent campers and we usually eat outside on a picnic table so we didn't think we would spend the time to convert it back and forth every day from a dinette to a bed. And finally, the bedroom: Did I say the kitchen was my favorite? Maybe this is? Idk, I love it all. Simon is a big fan of the big, fluffy bed: The bed converts back into a couch area during the day to add a tiny amount of floor space, access to under the bed storage, and a nice seating area for meals or relaxing.

Vandaag een hele speciale blog over een GE-WEL-DIGE caravan die Laura Roosen opknapte samen met haar gezin. Oh en wat is hij gaaf geworden. Zeker lezen want ik mocht van haar de voor en na foto's met jullie delen hoe leuk is dat?! Laura leeft mijn droom haha eerlijk is eerlijk ik ben meer gemaakt voor de wat 'luxere' vakanties omdat ik nou eenmaal van mooie dingen/omgevingen hou klink gek maar ik word daardoor beïnvloed. Alfred heeft daar een hele andere kijk op die gaat liever de natuur in en dan het liefst zo simpel mogelijk. Zie daar maar eens een middenweg in te vinden haha. Maar sinds Alfred en ik in een iniemini retro caravan weg zijn geweest, we mochten hem lenen van mijn schoonouders, ben ik om. We verbleven op een mini camping vlakbij zee. Het weer was niet heel best maar de zee maakt alles goed, s'avonds nog veel op strand gehangen met een fles wijn...good memories. Je leeft bij de basis, en je hebt je 'eigen' huis op wielen mee. Dat idee alleen al...je brengt je letterlijk dicht bij elkaar omdat je in een kleine ruimte moet bivakkeren. Ooit wil ik een caravan opknappen zoals Laura heeft gedaan een zwart wit en hout boho stijltje. Onze tent ervaring was niet echt geweldig maar een 2e huis op wielen lijkt me wel wat. Vooral in deze sfeer. Man man alsof je in Bali op vakantie bent, ik zie hem al helemaal voor me een gepimpte caravan op een mooie camping aan zee. Love it haha. Laura aan het woord; Ik ben altijd bezig met inrichten, schuiven en veranderen in het interieur.. mijn man wordt er wel eens helemaal gek van!!Al langere tijd droomde ik van een oude caravan die ik helemaal zou kunnen opknappen.. al zo veel moois voorbij zien komen op instagram en Pinterest! Toen mijn beste vriendin vertelde dat ze naar een camping vlakbij ging met de caravan van haar schoonouders en vroeg of we ook kwamen ging het snel! Mijn man is niet iemand die graag ver weg op vakantie gaat en vond het zowaar een super idee! Ik lekker los qua inrichten en hij zou alles aan de buitenkant regelen.. nieuwe banden en natuurlijk het rijden! ;) Ik plaatste een oproepje op de lokale familymarket op Facebook en binnen een kwartier had ik 3 reacties! We zijn gaan kijken bij een bergland3800 in het dorp naast ons en dit werd hem gelijk!! Toen ik binnenstapte moest ik wel even slikken; oja dit is wel heeeel klein! ;) alles was bruin en oranje en drukke prints dus dat helpt ook niet echt mee. Maar ik zag wel gelijk wat het kón worden!! De kinderen waren ook mee en die vonden het helemaal geweldig!! Alles zat er ook nog bij, een goede voortent en heel veel accessoires zoals tafeltjes, kastjes en stoelen, over de prijs werden we het snel eens en helemaal happy namen we hem mee naar mijn ouders. Mijn ouders wonen vrijstaand met een groot weiland erbij, hier hebben we hem neergezet en gelijk helemaal leeg gehaald.. lekker luchten!! Na inspectie door mijn schoonvader die elektricien is al het overbodige eruit gesloopt.Toen begon het witten!! Want dat wist ik gelijk zeker, alles moest wit worden net als thuis. Er zijn in totaal 9 emmers witte krijtverf van de action in gegaan, prima spul, lekker mat en het dekt goed. Alleen over de kwetsbare delen, zoals het keukenblok en de kast nog een laagje industrielak. Ik heb de kussens opnieuw bekleed en de gordijntjes genaaid, super leuk om te doen, dan zie je lekker snel de veranderingen! Stofjes gekocht op de lapjesmarkt met mijn moeder in Utrecht, je hebt best veel nodig dus om de kosten een beetje laag te houden is dit de ideale plek! Mijn vader en Erwin maakte het stapelbed voor de boys zelf, zo zag ik het helemaal voor me!! Als ze naast elkaar in een twijfelaar moesten liggen zouden ze elkaar letterlijk de tent euhh caravan, uitvechten! En heel eerlijk.. dit staat toch veel leuker ;) Toen kwam het allerleukste... inrichten en stylen!! Oh wat vond in dit leuk om te doen, gewoon jammer toen het klaar was!! Ook de hele buurt leefde gelijk mee vanaf het moment dat hij voor de deur stond! (Na het slopen en het stapelbed hebben we hem bij ons voor de deur gezet zodat we konden klussen en verven als de kids sliepen) iedereen kwam kijken en we kregen allerlei spulletjes zoals een opstapje en klapstoelen! Nou hebben wij een buurt waar veel kampeerders wonen, dus we passen er nu helemaal tussen! Regelmatig zat ik gewoon lekker in de caravan te genieten en kwam er een buur bij zitten. Ook de kids gaan er graag in met vriendjes.Toen kon het grote avontuur beginnen.. op naar de camping!! 25 min rijden van huis! ;)Een mooie testronde.Het opzetten van de voortent hadden we al geoefend met mijn vader gelukkig, Dus dat viel allemaal mee!We hebben een super mini vakantie gehad en mocht je twijfelen over een pimp project... ga ervoor!!! Het is zo super leuk!! De buitenkant is bij ons nog helemaal retro bruin net als de voortent maar dit maakt hem wel veel unieker. Bijna alle caravans zijn tegenwoordig grijs of blauw dus we vielen wel op, ook lekker herkenbaar voor de kids! Om ons heen vragen mensen al of we binnenkort deze verkopen en dan overgaan op een grotere en weer aan het pimpen slaan.. hoe verleidelijk t ook klinkt, eerst maar eens genieten van ons huidige mini huisje op wielen! Bekijk de foto's hieronder want man wat een verschil. Ik zou er wel een paar weken mee weg willen, wat jij? Ben je benieuwd naar de belevenissen van Laura en haar gezin op camping? Volg haar dan ook zeker op Instagram. KLIK. Ook haar huis is prachtig volg haar al heel lang en we hebben elkaar wel eens live ontmoet op de woonbeurs. Zo leuk om je passie voor interieur en styling online met elkaar te delen. Ben heel benieuwd wat je van het resultaat vind, Laura natuurlijk ook, die leest lekker mee schat ik zo in haha. Laat je het weten? Zou jij ook een caravan op willen knappen? Of ben je meer van de luxe vakantie's in een hotel. Zo'n leuke foto dit... En deze dan, druk aan't witten. Zo leuk. Laura hard aan het werk...met dit als resultaat. GE-WEL-DIG! De DIY lamp die Laura met raffia heeft opgeleukt. Te geinig. En zo zie je maar weer je hoeft niet alles te kopen he, zelfmaken is veeeeeeeeeel leuker. Oh man ik ga nog even lekker dromen hoor...jullie ook? Tot snel lieve mensen, fijn weekend. Liefs Arja

Deze Sprite was eerst een lelijk eendje en nu een prachtige eyecatcher.De grootste metamorfose van alle Judidith caravans, met name de buitenkant. Wat was het een waanzinnig gave klus om deze Sprite 400 uit 1972 te mogen omtoveren tot een plaatje. Vorig jaar Augustus werd ik getipt door mijn nicht dat deze caravan te koop stond. In het hoge Noorden kocht ik dit droevige caravannetje. Ik zag er wel wat in 🙂 .Nadat ik groen licht kreeg van mijn caravangarage […]

So, do you remember the vintage caravan we bought about a month and a half ago? It seems like years ago! We were so excited to renovate this Thomson Mini Glen (manufactured in Falkirk, Scotland) and use it for primarily our Rust Jewellery wedding/events and vintage shop and also for a little bit of adventuring too ; ) It took us longer than we wanted, firstly, we weren't allowed to work on it at the barn storage where we were going to keep it. So we had to find another place to use temporarily. Luckily my brother pointed us in the right direction, and we found a man who lent us some space in his cow shed come boat workshop. He was really helpful with advice and tea. Then, obviously we have a three year old and a two month old baby (now four months old) and a business to run, so it was a little bit tricky juggling everything. It was like a relay race. We barely ever worked on the caravan together. Anyhows, I like to think it is now finished, although there are always a few 'bits and bobs' that still need work. These photos are from different phones and cameras, and I hope they are in order (sort of). So these were taken by the previous owner (we won it on ebay), and below is when we collected it from Southampton and took it back home to the Isle of Wight. The caravan is from 1977, our VW camper van is from 1978, (I am also from 1978, but lets not dwell on that). Back in the day, brown was THE colour. It was actually quite overwhelming at first until your eyes adjusted to the brown. Literally everything was just disintegrating and anything plastic was brittle and snapped (like all of the door catches). The 'baby poo' coloured shag pile carpet and orange brown curtains were turning to dust, as were the seat cushions. There were a couple of small areas of rot, we suspect due to a slightly ill fitting front door. Unfortunatly the fridge cupboard and 'mini bar' had to be ripped out (we never had the fridge, but everything else was still present). The body is made of aluminium panels attached to a wooden frame with a sort of fiberboard on the inside (with is coated with pale brown vinyl wall paper). The aluminium window frames and door frame were badly corroded (which is to be expected I should say) and it was hard to sand off. These are the rotted areas which we had to patch up. Also the lower half of the front door panel. Back in the day, using gas to power everything in a tiny unventilated box was absolutely fine! We didn't fancy the idea, so we removed the Carver heater and gas light above the dining table (we'll use a portable electric heater if we ever camp in the winter with hook up). We kept all of the other units, including the gas hob/grill and kitchen and bathroom sink (yes there is even a tiny washroom)... (sink in the washroom)...actually I quite like that curtain fabric! The taps do work (although, even after sterilising, I still won't be drinking from them), They operate with a small foot pump under the kitchen sink which also has an electric motor! I think we will stick to the foot method. So I set about painting the cupboard doors and wc sink, I used a special paint for Laminte surface, called cupboard paint. It is super sticky and very expensive, so for the cupboards I just used it as undercoat and used a good quality 'Diamond Hard' Trade paint top coat. Underneath the carpet and two layers of shiny lino we discovered quite fine wood floorboards! So we decided to paint them, I used the left overs from when we renovated our Rust Yarmouth shop Nao worked on the exterior, lots of rubbing down, and then a zinc primer for the aluminium... ...and the another rub down and a top coat. Nao used a car paint which he had colour matched. He had all kinds of problems with this paint, and eventually had to ask our friend to spray it on instead as it was going patchy of matte and shiny, annoying! This is the barn where we worked... I painted the window frames in white to match the door (the roof part is pale grey) and I painted on the name. ...Storm Petrel...one of my favourite birds. I love all the mythology surrounding this small dark seabird. So many things in common that we thought it was perfect for our caravan. So this is the final product of all our hardwork (actually only one or two days a week to be honest ; ) We took it first of all to our fave campsite on the Isle of Wight, Compton Farm I love the stunning valley with cows, and view of the white cliff and the sea! I should point out that strictly speaking, caravans are not allowed in the tent field, but they said it was okay for the purpose of my blog only ; ) I also painted the name and bird on the other side too, but a bit bigger... I had new foam cut to size and made new covers. The fabric I bought on ebay, I didn't have enough, so I used some stripy linen that I already had, for the underneath. I find velco much better for this type of cover than zips. There is so much storage space in this tiny van, and under the seats is where you can store all the bedding and lanterns and such like. I couldn't wrench up the lino from the floor so I just cleaned it and lined it with some vintage wallpaper...Nao replaced the old cupboard with plywood... The table is an exact replacement of the original laminate chipboard one, but we went for real pine instead. I used a clear coating to protect it (Rustoleum I think?). I found some new wooden handles and knobs for the cupboard doors, and we put up some ikea spice rack things to put a few books on... Nao replaced the front door panels with plywood and I coated them with same stuff as the table and the kitchen tops... (I found the cushion covers from Etsy and ebay btw) I love this tiny room the most! We removed the original plastic shelf under the mirror and the electric light which I replaced with a battery operated led motion sensor light, my new favourite invention. (that is not toothpaste by the way, it's hand cream!) Nao put a handy shelf under the sink for nappies and wipes etc...and the potty and wash tubs go underneath. The wardrobe (who needs a wardrobe when camping?!) we turned into shelves instead. and where the heater used to be, we fitted this little basket, as it is a handy spot when you are sitting at the table... The gas hob is not actually working properly so we will get that checked by a qualified gas person at some point. We will use the portable one from our van temporarily. I love that it came with the original hob lighter... This is the foot pump for the taps...you get a good thigh workout when you do the washing up. Where the cupboard was that we ripped out, is the wheel arch, so we had to do something with that. Nao built a box around it which I painted to match the walls. And a basket of toys, that goes without saying. I had a lot of fun finding things for the caravan, mostly for the cooking area, and also this little rug which is also from ebay, and a new blanket from a local shop in Yarmouth. Again the curtain fabric was from ebay, it is actually chambray shirt fabric. I replaced the gold plastic curtain track with curtain wire instead. The skylight retainers had become brittle and one snapped off, sadly when we towed the caravan out of the barn, the top flew off and smashed on the road! We had to find a replacement which cost £45 and it is a fraction too small. But, I love watching the clouds and the stars through the roof! ..and...relax... So the table top slots down in-between the seats and the cushions lie flat to create a double bed! Not bad I say, unless you are 5ft 9 or above. I'm 5ft 1, so people must have been sorter in the 70s. Oh I forget to mention, the wood trim all the way around the caravan...I sanded this down (a lot of work actually!) and put on a few coats of sealer, I'm quite pleased with how they came up so nice. And we gave the original name plate and hubcaps a bit of a buff up too! Needless to say, I totally love this little box on wheels, mostly because I can sit in it and know that every single tiny thing was worked on by us (actually sit there tutting to myself that I 'missed a bit'). I will do another post next, about our first family camping trip in Storm Petrel, the first of many adventures and enterprises I hope! Thank you for sticking with this post right to the end! x p.s. you can read Part 1 here>
