Who is Nigel?
Nigel is our 1992 Toyota Odyssey.
Why did we choose a toyota RV?
We wrote a blog about why we chose a Toyota RV as our rig to travel full-time in. This blog lists some of the pros and cons of a toyota RV as well as some of our most loved features of our Toyota Odyssey. Checkout the link below to read a full write up about why we chose to buy our Toyota RV!
Extra info about Nigel
We saw an ad on RVtrader.com for a 1992 Toyota Odyssey right outside of Seattle, WA, and within days Tommy was flying out to see it in person
Good Bones
Before Remodel
25 Years of Carpet...
Here is a peek at the original interior. Blue carpet and wallpaper was anywhere and everywhere you could imagine. I mean literally, the shower was built on top of carpeting...But, aside from the dated interior the coach of the RV had good bones and only a few damaged areas from leaks.
Before Remodel
Wasted Space...
You'll see in the remodel photos of how we addressed storage and how we added as much as we could, but this back couch area was our biggest change. We wanted to create an abundance of storage for our work tools, paints, and any other work related items and dedicate the wasted space below the window to that.
Before Remodel
Yellow-ish...
This was the original exterior. There was nothing technically wrong with it. A lot of Toyota owners cherish the nostalgic look of an older RV, and I agree that it is cool to see older RV's thriving and hanging with all the new sleek modern travel rigs, but we just didn't like the yellow the fiberglass had turned over the years, and lets just say the racing stripes had seen better days. The awning was falling apart and all the window frames were a brown color that we weren't loving.
We always knew Nigel had the potential to be an amazing home!
Like most things, he just needed some TLC
