Category: My DIY RV Projects

Some of the RV DIY projects I’ve done on my full time boondocking Class A motorhome.

My New (2Me) 1987 Suzuki Samurai Fulltime RV Dinghy Car!

It may need some new shocks, and I’m going to do a rust treatment underneath, and give it a You Tube Rustoleum paint job, so stay tuned! Continue reading

Turns out, the people I bought it from had apparently left the awning arms unlocked, and only secured with the straps! One was taken off, and the rear arm came down enough to let it 1/2 unroll!
