Keep The RV You Have! And Make it Better

Keep the RV you Have!! DIY: Make it Better

There are many advantages to updating your RV rather than getting rid of it and buying something new or used. The benefits are truly countless, and in this article will cover many of the big ones.

1. Paint and Flooring- Giving your RV a face-lift with a new paint color and updated flooring is relatively easy and inexpensive! Lowes and Home Depot have many home options that translate into an RV. You can get snap-together or stick-down laminate, durable, waterproof flooring, making it a perfect option for an RV. There are also numerous paints, colors and types or even wallpaper that should work for your RV. 
2. Bedding- Fresh bedding can make such a difference in an RV. Making your RV feel as close to a home as possible by putting a new set of sheets, blankets and a comforter can be very satisfying. 
3. Bathroom Update- Usually RV bathrooms are relatively small, so updating things like the backsplash and shower curtain can make all the difference in a confined space such as a bathroom. 

All in all, there’s really no reason an RV should be tossed aside for cosmetic reasons. 

There are inexpensive fixes you can do yourself that make your RV look better than new! Try 

to research some local stores that may have what you need before you start work. Having a

local source is always a better option for DIY projects because you can usually ask questions

and return items easier and faster than buying offline.
