RV Education Plus a Vintage Trailer Restoration

How we went from this.....

to this.... in 6 months

I have always been a hands on type of guy. After being cooped up in an office for a while I need to get out and work on something. One winter day, I had cabin fever and decided I was going to produce an RV How-To TV series titled Mark's RV Garage:

Hosted by Mark, Dawn & Tyler Polk.

Mark's RV Garage 17 episode award winning series is an entertaining and educational RV how-to series presented by RV Education 101. Host Mark Polk gives you an inside look into RV’s, RV Products, RV product installations, RV upgrades, RV destinations, RV Trivia, & much more.

The highlight throughout the RV how-to series is a vintage trailer restoration project. Mark and his son Tyler decide a "fixer upper" project would be fun, but soon discover their project trailer would require more than a few weekends to complete. Follow the epic 7 month-long fun educational and entertaining journey as Mark and Tyler demo the vintage trailer down to the frame and then rebuild to its former glory.

On each episode of Mark’s RV Garage you will have fun while learning more about your own RV.

WARNING: Viewing this series can be very addictive. Find a comfortable chair, get your favorite beverage, relax and enjoy the award winning Mark's RV Garage RV How-To series:

A Vintage Trailer Restoration Project

Mark Polk purchases a 1967 Yellowstone travel trailer as a fun father & son project. Little does he know that what begins as a "fixer upper" turns into a full blown RV restoration. Follow the 7 month journey from start to finish and watch as they breathe new life into the old Yellowstone trailer.

I think there are lots of these old vintage trailers sitting around out there that can be found and restored back to a useable condition at a fairly reasonable cost. Find an old trailer you like the looks of, or one that has some character. If you can find one with a semi-solid structure at the right price and you like the way it looks it can make a fun vintage trailer restoration project. I say go for it, you only go around once, have some fun! ~Mark Polk
