Wow! Take a look at this renovated RV! 

 

I am not a RV or camper person, but IMO they did a fabulous job on this vehicle. Obviously, it was old, dirty, needed repairs & updating. I’m not usually a black & white decor person, but in this space it makes everything look new & clean. I’m amazed & impressed at people who do this kind of work. 

 

I still prefer my car and a hotel, but something like this might be fun for a long road trip.

Lawn chairs and stools are lightweight and readily move around.  Not practical for an RV which typically travels over rough roads where the contents bounce around.  This stuff would soon be a jumbled mess.

Re: Renovated RV - WOW!

[ Edited ]

I am an RV person.  We have two of them...one on a permanent lot one that we travel with. Both of ours are in mint condition inside, but one is prepared and ready to be repainted on the outside this spring. It definitely needs painted.  The siding has faded big time.

 

I have seen a lot of RV renovations.  Our best camping friends completed one last year and you should see that one.  You would never know you were in an RV.  They have an electric fireplace, stone countertops and tile backsplash and beautiful cabinets.. They gutted it and everything is new inside.

 

It seems just about every reno paints the cabinets, ceiling and walls white, then the floor is replaced with vinyl.  The problem is that the RV's with slide outs...like the one you posted, eventually ruin the floor after it has been used a bit by the sliding action.

 

The new kitchen table folds almost flat and the chairs can be moved to be used elsewhere or even taken outside.  The jack knife sofa is still there, but recovered.  The Reno on this a fifth wheel camper you posted is pretty common and pretty inexpensive.


It is a big improvement, but nothing unique or special.  It doesn't wow me at all, but I am  sure the owners are enjoying it and it makes me happy to see old campers updated and still being used and not sitting in the landfills.

The Before is horrible but the After with all the black furniture and floors is not much better.  They missed on the renovation.

@Carmie Could a 5th wheel have a washer/dryer?

@Lucky Charm   Yes, many of them have washers and dryers. Some of them are huge and have walk in closets and even dishwashers and center islands in the kitchen.

 

 A fifth wheel must be pulled by a pick up truck and they have a pair of steps to the second floor that is usually a bedroom, but I have seen kitchens and living rooms up there as well.

It looks a lot better than it did before and I'm sure things are secured before traveling.  I'm not a camper, unless it's on the water, but I hope the owners enjoy their trips.

It's certainly better than before but I'd still want to make a lot of tweaks if this were my RV.  It's not though....camping/RVing is not my thing.Smiley Happy

The after looks great.  The white paint makes the space look fresh.
