Kevin and Mandy are full-time RVers—Kev is an app developer and Mandy is a photographer and metalsmith.
They live with their four pets in a new toyhauler that they ripped to the studs and renovated with their own four hands. The pets didn’t even lift a paw to help…

RV Remodel
Kevin and Mandy wanted to buy a trailer that was only a shell, but when they couldn’t get one, they found the perfect toyhauler trailer that could be stripped down and started from scratch. This gave them the opportunity to really craft their own space, including workspaces for both of them and plenty of room for the pets! Living in the RV during the renovation has certainly been an adventure (and a long time living without a shower in the RV). Along the way, they are creating a truly unique space and learning a lot about RV renovations through trial and error!
