Hello Gab and Bren!<br>We are very suprised and happy to see the amazing transformation of my brothers Grey Hawk! He would be delighted with all of the amazing upgrades. He purchased the RV used, just before his last trip to Key West, his favorite place on earth. And Leo's is the only place he would ever camp. Even though this was a new RV for him, he had other class C's in the years prior that he used to stay there.<br>Don paid $20,000 for this vehicle that year. He was sold on it the moment he saw it. He loved to watch travel videos on YouTube and watched other couples travel across the country. It makes me smile knowing that would be watching you. You two have done an absolutely phenomenal job! Happy Travels! ❤Mary and Steve

The Raptor type grill really did change the look of that front end for the better. Great aesthetic choice.

You both did an amazing job and I think that's a reasonable cost for what this RV is capable of...of course with all your own labor. But the transformation is so nice and it works for you. That's the important part.

Gab and Bren, GREAT VIDEO! Its been fun watching y'alls journey. Y'all continue to put out great content! Stay safe out there!

All of your solar/DC upgrades are things you would have done to a new RV, so those costs go towards both. And with the depreciation of a new RV, you are light years ahead of that option. However, your engine/transmission are my biggest worries of older RV's. But you are still well below $80k.

Not bad, I'm at about $20k with my low-roof van that probably has 1/4 of the space of this RV. And I'm porbably in over 1,000 hours.

Wow! I thought your total investment would have been MORE even while excluding labor cost. You guys have done a great job! Have you ever had any issues with campgrounds denying access due to the age of your RV? Just ran across this issue on another channel where a campground had a restriction on RVs older than 10 years old. Really subjective unless your RV looks good and doesn't smoke. LOL! Anyway, your RV looks almost brand new now. A total refresh with all the exterior (and interior) work you've done to it. Great video!
