Your trusty RV takes you wherever you want to travel on the spur of the moment and keeps you safe and comfortable while you’re there. After a while, though, those miles on the road can take a toll on the interior of your RV and it might start looking a little shabby or not be as suitable as it once was. If you’re not ready to replace your current camper, you can always look into renovating it instead.

Herold Trailer Sales in Indianola is your Iowa RV dealer, serving Des Moines as well as our neighbors across the Missouri River in Omaha. As such, we’ve provided these helpful tips to assist you in your quest to renovate and update your RV to make it feel brand-new inside!

1. Repaint Walls

One easy and relatively inexpensive way to spruce up your RV is to paint it! Applying a fresh coat of paint to the walls in a color you love will instantly brighten up your environment. Choose a color to match your decor or go with a sleek, all-white interior.

2. Customize Furnishings

Your RV’s furnishings will likely become worn with time and you can either choose to reupholster them with fresh fabric or replace the entire piece of furniture with something new and different. Convert old armchairs into a sofa. Recover a bench with fresh vinyl. You can choose bright colors to complement your decor, even!

3. Replace Flooring

The floors in any home take a real beating and they can become dingy and worn over time. Why not freshen things up by replacing them? Remove old carpet and replace it with attractive wood flooring instead. Replace old linoleum flooring with cool and attractive tiles.

4. Add Appliances

Tired of using campground laundry facilities or finding a coin-op laundry in the nearest town while you’re traveling? Install a washer and dryer set or a single washer/dryer unit in your RV so you can take care of laundry on the go without having to ever leave your camper! 

5. Install More Storage Options

A cluttered RV isn’t fun to spend time in and it can even be a safety hazard with too much stuff scattered about. While it’s always good to get rid of things you don’t need, you can also install some interesting storage options, including cabinets above your kitchen, shelves over windows, over-the-door baskets and mounts for paper towels, toilet paper, towels, aluminum foil and more. Magazine holders can be utilized to store plastic bags and toilet paper. Getting creative with storage can really open up your RV!
