Customizing your RV

Whether it's a travel trailer, teardrop, fifth wheel or hybrid, surely you want your RV to be as comfortable and efficient as possible. And with the right customizations, you can have a one-of-a-kind RV that fits your needs and budget.

Here's some helpful tips to help you find the right customizations for recreational vehicle, regardless of its size or shape:

Have a Plan

Any customizations should start with a well thought out plan that includes a budget, itemized list of upgrades, and a rough drawing of what you want the finished product to look like.
Consider asking yourself the following questions in order to create your plan:

• Do you want to update the exterior of the RV as well as the interior?

• Do you just want to focus on upgrading appliances, cosmetic appeal or both?

• Which items would increase the efficiency of the RV the most?

• How much value will the upgrades add to your RV?

The customization process is different for everyone. Just make sure you take the time to think through the upgrades and renovations you want to undertake.

Pick a Theme

Even if it's something as simple as a color scheme, picking a theme for your customization will allow for an easy and stress free decorating process. Make your vacations a little more festive by choosing something like a beach, western, or vintage theme for example.

Possible Upgrades

Picking and choosing the upgrades you want to make is half the fun when customizing your RV. Here's some ideas to help get the creative juices flowing:

New Appliances/Electronics

• Oven/Cook top
• Refrigerator
• Microwave
• Dishwasher
• Satellite Dish
• Television

Interior Decor

• Window treatments
• Carpeting
• Tiling
• New paint
• Upholstery

Adding Efficiency

• Solar panels
• Waterless toilet
• Tankless water heater
• Storage racks/shelves/bins
• Mechanical upgrades

The Smaller Details

• Cabinet hardware
• Doorknobs
• High-quality hinges
• Faucets and handles

The possibilities are nearly endless when customizing your RV. After adding a few of the features listed above, your RV will start to feel like a home away from home.

Cover All Your Bases

You might need to outsource some of the work during the renovation process. Tasks that require plumbing or electrical knowledge, for instance, are best left to the professionals unless you have extensive training in these areas. Ensuring these systems are safe and up to code will help keep you and your family safe while enjoying the open road.
