Check out this 1974 Shasta RV that’s been given a beautiful renovation, turning it into a super cozy home from home. 

The 1974 Shasta Class A RV has been built onto the chassis of a 1973 Chevrolet P30, and the result is this retro camper. 

The RV had been spotted for sale online by Killian, a man who owns a van outfitting company in Pennsylvania. 

He snapped it up and carried out a full renovation, turning the slightly sad and dated-looking Shasta into a modern and compact motorhome.

We’ve seen some stunning RV renovations and restorations over the years, like this smart camper with chic wooden interiors, or this one that began life as an ambulance in the UK. 

Over in Pennsylvania, Killian did an absolutely incredible job on this Shasta RV, giving it a slick new update while retaining its 1970s charm.

The 24-foot 1974 Shasta RV is made from aluminum, which has kept the rust at bay and kept it in solid condition, despite its age.

Killian, who recently appeared on the New Jersey Outdoor Adventures YouTube channel, has held onto many of the original elements, like the windows, but has fitted a new roof, added a storage compartment, and updated the bumpers. 

The inside was in fairly bad condition when Killian got his hands on it and had been left badly water-damaged. 

However, you’d never guess that by taking a look at it now, as he’s managed to completely transform it into a cozy space with cedar walls, a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, and plenty of storage space. 

In the rear lounge, there are a couple of benches that neatly turn into a king-sized bed, alongside shelves for storage, a neat little table, and a large TV. 

The fully-fitted kitchen comes with a three-burner stove, an oven, a sink, and a fridge, as well as a decent amount of cabinets and worktop space. 

A dinette towards the front of the RV can be turned into another sleeping space, while it also comes with a full bathroom featuring a large shower, toilet, ceramic washbasin and vanity, and even more storage space. 

The decor is a tasteful blend of retro vibes and more modern touches, making the whole RV a truly wonderful home from home.
