Easy Upgrades for your RV

Many people dream about owning a motorhome at some point in their lives.  It’s a natural progression to purchase a smaller, less expensive RV to begin with, so that you can see if traveling the country in your own home away from home is the vacation style for you.  After making that initial purchase, which may often be a used motorhome, you might feel that there are some upgrades necessary to make it as comfortable as possible for you and your family.

Rather than shelling out a small fortune for a new RV, you can take a look around your current motorhome to see where upgrades are possible.  Often, the first thing that you will want to replace will be the floor.  Most recreational vehicles are equipped with carpeting, which can be very hard to clean in such a small space.  You can visit an RV supplies outlet to find flooring that will be easy to maintain, such as laminate or linoleum.

Kitchen faucet replacement can really go a long way to upgrade your motorhome’s appearance.  These faucets are often smaller than regular kitchen faucets, so you will want to find an RV parts and accessories store to see the very best in RV kitchen faucets.  They are not hard to replace on your own, but you might want to ask for directions just in case.  Other upgrades for the kitchen can include new countertops and cabinet doors.  If you are really handy, you might also replace the dining table, but often a pretty tablecloth will take care of any unsightly scratches and dings.

The bathroom in an RV is quite convenient, albeit very small.  A bathroom faucet is usually only meant to be functional, but you can find several upgraded models that will give your RV bathroom new life.  A new shower faucet can also provide you with better water pressure, while still conserving water for your water tank.  Once you have replaced those, you might consider new doors or a nicer shower curtain to really give the room a new lease on life. 

As a final touch, replace tired and worn out cushions with newer, more current colors.  You can make slipcovers if your finances have been exhausted with other projects.  Change the comforter and pillows on the bed can brighten everything considerably, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money to make those replacements.
