A household of 4 turned a 400-square-foot trailer with rotting flooring right into a cell house with 2 bedrooms and a rock wall. Have a look inside.

• I gutted a 400-square-foot trailer and renovated it right into a full-time house for my four-person household.
• The RV was on sale once we purchased it as a result of its flooring had been rotting. We changed them ourselves.
• We use each inch of the RV, which has three beds, a full toilet, a half tub, and a dwelling space. 

When my household launched into a yearlong RV journey round the US in 2016, we had no thought it will snowball into a life-style. Greater than six years later, we’re nonetheless touring full time.

The longer we had been on the street, the stronger our need to nest grew. So in 2019, we appeared for an RV that will be a extra appropriate house and landed on a fifth-wheel trailer. At 400 sq. toes, it had ample storage for our mountain bikes, backpacking gear, and paddleboards.

We discovered the precise rig we needed on sale, however there was an issue: About 20% of its flooring had utterly rotted. Understanding this, we lowballed our provide and determined to restore the flooring ourselves. 

My companion and I needed to renovate the RV anyway, so we had been really excited in regards to the alternative. Shortly after shopping for the trailer, we started working and utterly gutted the within of our new house.
