Before your next trip to an RV park, consider upgrading your vehicle to improve its comfort and functionality. There are numerous improvements you can tackle that won't make a dent in your wallet. They will also allow you to get more out of your recreational vehicle without requiring you to spend a small fortune. Use this guide to get inspired with affordable ideas. 

A Guide to Budget-Friendly RV Upgrades

1. Paint or Wallpaper

Add fresh coats of paint to your RV’s walls if they are looking dingy or discolored. You can also paint the cabinets to help revitalize the interiors. 

Opt for bright colors, such as sky blue or light green, to make the space seem larger and airier instead of dark and cramped. If you would rather not spend time painting, adding beautiful wallpaper can create a more pleasing space. Pair your selection with new curtains that match or complement the hue or pattern to complete the beautification project. 

2. LED Lighting

Save money and energy by installing LED light strips below your RV’s awning to create an illuminated patio space. These features are available in indoor and outdoor options. Placing LED strips around the RV's interior is ideal for midnight snacking and late-night reading. You can also purchase LED bulbs to replace incandescent ones throughout your vehicle for extra energy savings. 

3. New Furniture

Avoid the 10-year RV park rule by updating the vehicle's furniture. The 10-year rule is used by most RV resorts and campgrounds, stating that recreational vehicles that are a decade or older cannot enter for safety reasons. However, maintaining a neat, clean, attractive vehicle allows you to bypass this rule. Replacement furniture helps create a like-new interior. 

4. Appliance Updates

Adding new, energy-efficient appliances can further help in regard to the 10-year rule. Old devices are often noisy and can result in complaints by fellow campground users. Since such appliances are usually eyesores, replacing them can do wonders for your RV’s appearance, as well. If you are concerned about cost, look into used appliances in excellent condition.

When you are finished making updates to your vehicle, relax at Robert’s Mobile Home and RV Resort.
