RV Flipper Sarah Lemp

Lemp -- whose blog is allthingswithpurpose.com -- sits in the bedroom area of the latest RV she's flipped. As a busy mom of five, Lemp says she has two mantras when it comes to each project: "Done is better than perfect and it can't get any worse than it already is.

Pops of pink, green plants, hidden storage and cozy touches mark the main sleeping area. To create the look of shiplap on the walls, Lemp drew vertical lines with a black Sharpie.

A jack-knife sofa next to the kitchen also turns into a bed. Lemp replaced the original with one found at a local RV dealership. She painted the interior white to brighten it up.

Above the driver's and passenger's seats in the front is another sleeping area. A curtain from Target offers some privacy.

The same sleeping area is pictured during renovations. Lemp says before she makes any cosmetic improvements to an RV, her first step is making sure it's watertight. If it isn't, that'll cause problems down the road.

The Lemps -- from left to right, Natalie, 12; Olivia, 8; Carissa, 12; Taylor, 11; dad Jason; mom Sarah; and Asher, 2 -- have traveled all over the country in their RV. Their most recent trip was to Traverse City.

A backsplash made with black and white peel and stick tile from Amazon livens up the kitchen.

A front license plate speaks of the family's love of RV travel.

Chalkboard-painted cabinets in the kitchen list states to which the Lemp family has traveled.

Instead of using bags or suitcases, Lemp gives each of her children a bin to store their clothes during their travels. With limited space, she said things can get cluttered quickly.

Storage bins above the jack-knife sofa are perfect for food, plates and other supplies. 

A TV mounted to the wall in the living area is one of two in the RV. One detaches so it can be taken outside to watch movies.

White paint completely brightens up the kitchen and living area. Sarah also installed vinyl flooring.

Lemp, painting the door of her family's RV, says her dad was also a huge DIY-er. He was always reading manuals to fix cars or whatever else needing fixing. "He taught himself everything he knew about auto mechanics," she said.

When the Lemps bought this RV at the end of last summer, this is what it looked like. Sarah Lemp painted the exterior with white paint.

Lemp sits with a cup of coffee in front of her RV. She really didn't have a game plan before she tackled renovating her first RV, a vintage "canned ham"-style trailer that the family knicknamed "Gidget," but it was her dream. "I thought, 'Hey, we can do this!'" she said.

Lemp's first RV project was a 1956 vintage trailer that she found on Craiglist. She and Jason bought it for $1,700 and fixed it up before later selling it to a friend. She nicknamed the trailer "Gidget." "She wasn’t much to look at in the beginning, but I had a vision for what she could be!" Lemp wrote in a blog post about the project.

Lemp's next project, a 1977 Coachmen Cadet trailer, sits in her backyard. Her husband Jason found it on Facebook Marketplace and they bought it in less than a day for $500.
