A Home Away From Home

An RV is a great way to create a home away from home and that is just what Lori Sloan did with her 26’ – 2000 Sunnybrook RV. Lori had a situation that many of us can relate to. She has a mom getting up there in years and she wanted to be nearer to her. She bought this older model trailer and parked it in a seasonal site close to her mom’s house. They each have their space and Lori can check on her more frequently.

Lori is only the third owner of this 2000 Sunnybrook RV

Lori had been searching for a while for this particular floor plan and jumped on it when she saw it. She bought the RV from the second owners who had taken very good care of it, so she didn’t have any mechanical work that needed to be done.

The floor plan that Lori searched for includes a great front kitchen with a nice size dining table that folds down into an extra bed if necessary.

The other end of the living space includes a sofa that can also become a bed and plenty of storage space too.

Lori added store bought cushion covers, curtains from Amazon, removable wallpaper on the accent wall and new pillows to brighten the space.

Her factory to fabulous makeover took less than a week! She put in one incredibly long 14-hour day just painting. After that it was time for fun. She put in a peel and stick back splash and flooring and added some removable wall decor. She bought her curtains and seat covers from Amazon and Dollar General and cozied it up with inexpensive finds.

The RV has a three piece bathroom that Lori freshened up with a peel and stick back splash, fresh paint and new towels.

There is a dedicated bedroom in this RV that Lori painted, added new curtains to and loaded with linens that she loves. She kept the blue and white palette throughout for a boutique hotel feel.

The second door in RV’s makes the “Master Bedroom” airy and bright.

Lori’s long search for just the right floor plan ended happily with an RV that she freshened up with elbow grease, a little paint and lots of love!!

Lori,
I love what you have done to your camper. It looks amazing. I know you are really proud of it.
My husband and I are redoing and old 5th wheel and hope to take our very first trip together in June. We love In Oviedo, Fl. and will most likely stay in Florida to be able to work and “bugs” out for our first and second trips.
I am a city girl and my hubby is a Wild West-“Do I look like a peel person” and of guy.
Left and right, night and day, yes and no—–that’s us but we wouldn’t change a thing…I don’t think, LOL.
If you have any hints, suggestions, ideas, etc, that you can and would like to share I would like it very much. You also can friend me on FB. Tink Bayton
Hope to hear back.
Warmly,
Tink
