How to update your RV for under $200

Renovating or updating your RV can seem like a dauting task. Don't get me wrong, it takes work but it's totally doable! Even if you don't have a lot of experience, you can totally do this! We'll show you what we did to this 2003 Dutchmen to update it!

​Jump all the way to the bottom if you want to skip the explanation and just see what products we used!

This is what we started with. As you can see, it wasn't the worst, but definitely dated. 

1. PAINT THE WALLS 

There's nothing better than fresh white paint to brighten up a room! We used Zinsser Paint + Primer without any tint. It went on super easy and made a huge difference!

2. CHANGE THE HARDWARE

We changed the brass hinges and the pulls with nice, sleek, modern silver pulls. 

3. SPRAY PAINT THE DOOR KNOBS

We wanted to save money so we spray painted the door knobs silver instead of buying new ones.

4. REPLACE THE KITCHEN FAUCET

We had this faucet from another camper and it went really well in this camper so we swapped it out.

5. ADD A BACKSPLASH

We love peel and stick tiles because they are lightweight and stylish!

6. ADD A SOFA COVER

The sofa was so outdated and the pattern was so busy, we used this solid navy cover that is easily removable and machine washable.

We ripped out the bottom piece of luan that had the matching upholstry and replaced it with a solid piece of luan that we painted white. 

7. ADD BACKSPLASH TO BATHROOM VANITY

Again, super simple. We just used the same tile from the kitchen.

8. REPLACE BATHROOM FAUCET

We also had this faucet from another camper so we replaced the outdated one with this silver one.

9. SPRAY PAINT THE SINK

This is the best and most inexpensive way to update a yellowing sink. We used Krylon Appliance Epoxy Spray Paint in white.

10. SPRAY PAINT THE SHOWER

This shower was very yellow. A can of the same Krylon Appliance Epoxy Spray Paint did the trick!

Make sure to remove the shower head prior to painting.

11. SHIPLAP ACCENT WALL

Use a level and a sharpie or paint pen and draw a line every 6 inches. It can't get easier than that!

Well, there you have it! How to update your RV for under $200!
