Eric & Allison loved traveling; thus, they traded a life of monthly paychecks and a permanent house for a life of adventure. However, they always wanted to get a motor home for themselves, and thus, they got a vintage 1976 Coachmen RV, which they named Clementine.
The couple had always shared the renovation video in bits and pieces with their friends and followers. However, they wanted to give a full tour of their tiny but cozy home this time. The loving couple had visited the Joshua Tree National Park in the Mojave Desert and were impressed by the vibe out there. Thus, the interior décor pretty much had the southwest desert vibe.
This was the first time they had decorated their home because they moved around a lot. Thus, it was their tiny dream home. Allison wanted the interior to feel natural and organic. So, the ceiling was made with cedar planks, which ran throughout the entire length of the RV. The flooring was the vinyl click-lock that resembled oak. The upper cabinetry was made of pine.
The 1976 beauty did not always look this modern and fabulous. It was a DIY renovation by Eric and Allison. The RV was more than 40 years old, had plenty of damage, and needed serious repair work. The wood was all moldy and decayed. Thus, they reconstructed the vehicle with some excellent features.
The couple had stayed in different vans but felt as if they were camping. Eric wanted to feel more at home if he was going to live a mobile life. Thus, they decided to convert the 1976 vintage camper van into their home. After the renovation, the RV had a cozy-looking bed nook, a small bathroom, a hidden movie theater with a projector, and on-demand hot water fed by propane. It had everything a modern home required.
They rebuilt the kitchen with a brand-new stove and an oven combo, with a vast fridge, cabinet doors, solar panels, and an inverter to make them feel at home. The RV also had a brand-new AC unit, two Maxx air fans, and a hidden outdoor grill.
The couple also renovated the front of the RV with luxurious chairs so they could sit comfortably and drive. However, it was still a "work in progress" as they had asked someone to fix a new radio, a backup camera, and custom speakers in the cab area. They still wanted a retro feel of Clementine, so they decided to make a few changes. The motor van became a beauty and was ready for future adventures.
