Inexpensive Living: She Spent $500 on Her Camper and Fixing It Up

Inexpensive Living

This girl worked this renovated camper for a summer, making it as comfortable as she could, and spending only $500.

The girl who did the work for this camper is 14-year-old Ellie Yeater of Williamstown, West Virginia. She saved up the money for the camper and camper renoation from birthday money and being paid for chores around her house.

The camper itself cost $200, and Ellie found it in a local camper for sale ad. The other $300 was spent on paint, flooring, fabric, and decorations.

Her dad Larry helped by buying the wood and rubber roll for the roof. Free labor doesn’t hurt when you’re trying not to spend very much money.

But Ellie also did a lot of work on this refurbish job. She has some carpentry skills learned from her grandfather.
