RV Cost RENO Breakdown Blog—

This was a special DIY project as we had never owned an RV or renovated one before! The whole entire process we learned from Youtube! We had no idea of a budget before we started, we just knew that in order to make it across the country and back- for ourselves- it had to be in great condition! I wanted it to look amazing, but also be budget friendly. I feel happy with the outcome of total cost & also pleased with how everything looked & how well it held up for our 3 week long trip!!

Painted ALL rooms Sherwin Williams Snowbound in Satin, added new cushions to the table, made a butcher block table but used the same size as old table (traced shape) and used the same hardware to make the table still able to turn into a bed. Replaced light fixtures and used LED light bulbs which were added to every light fixture in the RV .

We made the blank wall into a more aesthetic/ cozy feature wall- we added an inset wall fireplace with a mantle. Both the fireplace and the mantle had to be extremely skinny (no more than 4 inches) as the front slide has to move in front of. To add the fireplace we removed the wall panel, used 2x4s to create a box frame in between the studs for the insert to sit inside the wall. We then cut out a hole in wall panel for the fireplace frame to fit thru and the put on the face frame on. It was a very quick and easy, but impactful DIY for this space.
