RV Renovation on a Budget Step by Step! | The DIY Mommy

By far one of the most asked about DIYs on my blog & YouTube channel is our renovated camper. I totally get it - we LOVE it too! It's provided us with so many wonderful memories already, and I love that we didn't spend a ton of money to create a little home on wheels that's both functional and adorable for our summertime adventures.

We started renovating our fifth wheel in May of 2017, and finished it just last summer with the bathroom remodel. It was a ton of work and there were so many steps involved, so I thought it would be a good idea to compile exactly what we did to our camper from start to finish in one giant video & blog post!

This renovation cost us about $1600, however we had many of the supplies on hand or they were given to us.

Please note that I'm a self-taught DIYer and not a trained professional, so this step-by-step guide is based on my experience only. However, if you love to do things yourself just like me, I think you'll find these steps effective if you're renovating your own RV!

WOW, this would be a little intimidating to me. But you should have said step #1, marry a handyman!!! LOL.... I struck out in that department and I'm not very good myself! Lovely redo though, thanks for sharing!

Me a 19 year old with no aspirations of getting a camper watching this entire video and enjoying it lollll

[mpbeautyinsight]

Im 20 and I just bought my own trailer today to live the adventurous light in Oregon, and finding this video has given me much inspiration!! Thank you so much and happy travels🚌🌎💜🙏🏼

Love it! We have a 1999 RV that has low miles and what I call early ugly RV interior. This has inspired me to get busy once and for all updating.

I think it looks fabulous and it has given me a lot of ideas for our motor home! From Australia 🇦🇺

Would love to have a tiny house, but am seriously considering an RV trailer as a less expensive alternative.

Elysia said your camper transformation was amazing and she never lied...Great Job!

I’m 14 and it’s always been my dream to live in a camper home or schoolie. Recently my dad bought a camper truck and I will be renovating it!

[judymartin]

Wow, you did an amazing job. You are really talented. Thank you sharing.

[vickinoeske]

I have a dream/fantasy of owning a vintage or vintage look camper! I don't even care if we camp😂 Your camper looks fabulous, love your aesthetic.

[laceyavron]

This beats all other renos I have seen. We just bought a new caravan so we won't have to do anything to it. But this transformation is amazing. Congrats to the hard workers

I did all these things to our 1987 camper only I made the countertops look like granite.
I still have to paint the gold out of the shower!
It’s amazing what white paint can do!

[andreareeder]

I'm really impressed by the bathroom sink and shower. What an improvement!

[amyhansen]

Gee wiz! Your reno deserves to be featured in a magazine. It is phenomenal!

[MaryOKC]

This is the perfect size RV I’ve been looking for with the tiny tub. I love what you’ve done to it!

[DBT]

Christina your camper is seriously the most beautiful space ever! The fact that you renovated this from start to finish and added all of these details makes it magical! I your camper videos and keep telling my husband “let’s do it!” Lol! He’s not as on board as I am but I think if I keep harassing him he will give in! ❤️❤️❤️

[Stephanie-tckj]

Thank you for not being obnoxious lol I like your gentle demeanor.
