In the clip, the pair got to work deep cleaning a rundown caravan, scrubbing, vacuuming, and dusting every nook and cranny.
Despite the huge challenge, the pair admitted they actually don’t have any experience, but wanted to give it a go anyway.
“Decided to quit our nursing jobs and flip caravans instead.
“No experience, just two girls with the mentality of ‘no risk, no reward’,” the text over the viral video said.
The friends started their first mammoth cleaning task by cleaning the fabric of the built-in sofas.
The grey upholstery was clearly dirty, but it wasn’t until they emptied the cleaner it was clear just how gross the sofas really were.
After washing away the dirty brown liquid, the next job was to clean the bathroom.
Everything got a good scrub to get it up to scratch.
Even the vents were removed and dusted to make sure everything was as clean as it could possibly be.
“Day one complete,” the pair said, as they ended the clip.
Of course, the friends still have quite a way to go with their project, but after racking up a whopping 270k views on their first video many people chimed in to show their support.
One said: “Quitting my nursing job and doing that would be amazing! No appreciating in the job anymore.”
“I don’t blame you, I quit and worked the wards as a band three for three years. Nursing 19 years,” a second chimed in.
And a third said: “Wonderful inspiration!! So many in the NHS dream of this and you’ve only gone and done it! All the best ladies!”
In the comments the pair also gave more of an insight into their plans going forward.
“We are buying and renting but also offering a management service for people who don’t live in the area and want someone local to manage their caravan for them,” they said.
Why caravan holidays are so underrated
CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple.
And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain’s purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break.
Josie O’Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated…
WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun.
She’d use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays.
As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday.
No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs.
I still love caravan holidays as an adult.
In a world of doing everything for the ‘gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics.
There’s no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don’t find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad.
I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade.
My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in.
And then, of course, there’s the cost.
Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips.
With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I’m spending hundreds less than I would abroad.
I’ve had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I’ll buy my own one day.
