You basically rned a beautiful vintage trailer and turned it into a kitsch salon on wheels.

I love what you have done with Nugs! So cute! We just bought a 1968 Aloha camper and are just in the planning steps to restore it, wondering what did you end up doing with the ceiling? Paint? Ours has some chips and seems to have a couple layers that we will be sanding down- and tips would be awesome- I can send pictures? Oh wait I just read the post above mine- seems we have the same question!!! Thought about using aluminum flashing on parts of the ceiling- what do you think?!

I am currently elbows deep in my own 70s camper revamp. I quickly became attached to your blog and The Nugget as soon as I saw it. It totally captured the vibe I am going for and am so excited to get past all the prep work and have a beautiful blank canvas to artistically dive into this summer. Am at this point were I need to make a decision on the ceiling before throwing color and love on everything else. We had to redo some sections due to water damage and my better half patched it up. Unfortunately the fix is rather “piece-y” and simply painting it would show every gap and flaw. The boyfriend suggests wall paper but I’m not a wallpaper pro (aka Ive never wallpapered) and I think all the gaps and bumps will still show. Your triangle floor mosaic sparked an idea- covering it in something a bit more heavy duty and easy to work with. How crazy difficult do you think that would be on a slightly rough and uneven RV ceiling? Ah! Any suggestions???

This way the caulk is forced into the gap rather than leaving a bead on top whichyou then push in with your damp finger.

It has been so fun, and challenging and, well endless! Ha! The before and after photos are worth it alone! I will tag some photos for you too see soon. Can’t wait to see your finished camper!

The trick i use for that is to take a galvanized nail (large one) and insert in into the tube. when you are ready to use the caulk again remove the nail, and squirt out a little of the caulk surrounding nail. sometimes it will have rust color on it. then you are good to go. 🙂

Then wipe your finger off and repeat. it gives it a crisp finish with no lines or marks. 🙂

It’s going to be invaluable to folks for many years to come who are thinking about embarking on getting and renovating/updating a camper. When you normally see these types of camper re-dos online you don’t normally get this level of detail with play-by-play of what to look for, what to do, what you did, and why you and Court made the decisions you did. Thank you!

That said, Mandi can you explain what the long-term plans for The Nugget are? Based on some of your renovation decisions like no Port-A-Potty, no re-installing the bunk (for say kids sleeping) I am thinking you guys are not planning on using it for serious family road trips? Is the Nugs going to be for VR marketing/retail where you take it fairs, markets, and such?

I think that the humor and attitude that you write with makes you more of a “real person” to me than a blog post. I find myself laughing along with the “don’t touch my stuff” husband rules because it’s my every day! Imagine paint splattered everywhere except for a 5 foot space of neat and tidy around the hubster. Thanks for keeping my mornings fun and creative! 🙂
