Whether you’ve purchased an old camper that needs some repair or you’ve been thinking about buying one, there are several DIY old camper remodel ideas to keep in mind. Whether you want to add an eat-in area, repurpose old wood from other projects, or simply modernize the functionality, these ideas can help.
Repurpose old wood from other projects
Using reclaimed wood is a great way to add a touch of class to your camper remodel. It’s also eco-friendly, which is a plus. If you have a limited budget, reusing old materials can save you some hard-earned cash.
For the most part, reclaiming old materials will require you to get a little creative in finding supplies. If you’re lucky, you can get your hands on some old barn wood or fence posts. However, these are not always easy to come by, and they may require some elbow grease to get them looking their best. You can also find used pallets at many local businesses, such as home improvement stores or lumberyards.
Paint the cabinetry white
Adding a white wash to cabinetry in an old camper remodel can make a big difference. The paint brings out the natural wood grain and gives the cabinets a bright, fresh look. It is also a practical solution for updating an RV.
A white wash is not as permanent as standard cabinet paint. It is also less expensive. Depending on your personal preference, you can add a stain or sealer to the white wash to keep it looking fresh.
Painting RV cabinets can be a lot of fun. You can even use different paint colors to create a unique interior.
Add an eat-in area
Adding an eat in area to your RV is an easy way to improve your quality of life while on the road. Whether you’re traveling with the family, friends or a date, a convenient dining area is one of the best ways to make sure you’re not too far from home. The best part is it’s a breeze to install. A few bolts and you’re good to go.
A well done renovation can turn your rusty old yew into a mobile oasis. A well planned renovation is a win for your wallet as well as your sanity.
