Inspiring RV Makeovers and renovations by TIDBITS

Is it possible to live in a home on wheels with style? Here are 20 inspiring RV makeovers and renovations to prove it just might be, with a little elbow grease and creative vision.

Inspiring RV Makeovers Story

We’ve so enjoyed renovating our own RV which we lovingly call “TIDBITS ON WHEELS”, designed and decorated in my light and bright, Cottage Romance TIDBITS style.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

Here is a peek, but check out all the details on our reveal post, then come back to enjoy this round-up of other RV renovations I discovered while looking for inspiration. Be sure to subscribe to my email updates to catch all the details of our adventures of living in our RV with our 4 kids, while we build our home.

TIDBITS ON WHEELS RV Renovation

There are some clever creatives out there taking small spaces and making them huge with style! Whether you have an RV just to hit the road or a temporary home on wheels, these ideas will get you excited to make the effort to make it an RV to love!

WHEN AND WHERE TO BUY AN RV

If you’ve ever imagined it would be fun to buy an RV to fix up, the off-season is a great time to buy! My husband works with someone who has a side hustle of buying and selling RV’s, and he highly recommends the new year as the perfect time. When people find themselves high with bills from the Holidays, the RV is the first thing to go, and they are often desperate sellers.

In our search for finding an affordable RV in need of some tender DIY love and care, here are the places we searched:

  • Local Classifieds
  • Facebook Marketplace
  • Word of Mouth
  • Local Dealerships

Beautiful RV Makeovers and RV Remodel Ideas

Be sure to bring big vision and hard work to the table, and you just might be able to create a tiny home as beautiful as these ones below!

1. MRS. SCHMICK

This cute RV, lovingly nicknamed “Mrs. Schmick” is darling inside and out! Be sure to catch up on their adventures for Mrs. Schmick on Instagram.

An incredibly helpful how-to from Kreating Homes for replacing those nasty floors and carpet that can be found in older RVs.

Another airstream makeover, but I am inspired by the custom seating found in this reveal on The Modern Caravan.

4. ARROWS AND BOWS

You’ve got to follow the live-in RV adventures from Arrows and Bows. Ashley shares great tips on her blog and the behind-the-scenes reality of living in an RV with kids on her Instagram.

I love how they painted the exterior and made a classy and cozy retreat just outside the front door.

They managed to make the small space cozy for kids and adults alike! Paint, statement wallpaper, lighting, and so many simple upgrades made a huge impact!

5. LIFE AS AN ARTISTPRENEUR

It’s important to rethink all the RV nooks and cranny’s to make sure they function for your needs. I love how Life as an Artistpreneur reworked this wall to provide entertainment and decor.

7. CLEVER FOX MAMA

I’m finding out Instagram is a major hub for RV enthusiasts to share their improvements and adventures. It was fun to discover this account –Clever Fox Mama on Instagram. You can’t even tell this is an RV!

8. THE ARROW ANGLERS

I’m inspired by the modern look in the RV by The Arrow Anglers. Their use of woods, whites, and blacks come together nicely.

9. BONNIE CHRISTINE

The most inspiring makeover I ran into comes from Bonnie Christine. The colors, the patterns, and the well-thought-out use of space are so inspiring!

10. RV FIXER UPPER

This gal should be dubbed the Joanna Gaines for RV’s! Be sure to check out her many RV design inspiration ideas on RV Fixer Upper.

I was wowed by the clever idea of using a ladder behind the potty for storage and beauty.

Had to share her two-toned kitchen too!

12. WILSON GRAND ADVENTURES

I keep thinking those dinette nooks just make it hard for everyone to scoot and sit. I love how WilsonGrandAdventures on Instagram changed that area into a bar-like eating and work spot for the whole family. Brilliant!

This cozy landing place came a long way as well!

17. THE NOSERY

I love this sink and countertop transformation from The Nosery. It doesn’t even have the RV feel. I’m thinking the fancy faucet makes a huge difference too!

I hope you’ve enjoyed exploring the incredible possibilities that lie in a small RV space!

I’m working on finding even more inspiration and filling up my RV Design Pinterest board, so head HERE if you would like even more!

    Great examples of interior decoration of rooms. By the way, I heard that the most famous interior designers have already started releasing their crypto tokens NFT. In general, imagine the path taken by cryptocurrency to accept it. From a pyramid to a new technology that has an impact on the future. To just understand the scale, you just need to understand that now most crypto platforms are trying to release themed NFT games. I’m currently watching one such game from EOS.

    I have had rc’s and I love what you are doing. Can be for guests once you have your home built. My question is, if you are not going to move it to an Rv pumping station all th time, how are you dealing with sewage?

        I live in my RV which is stationary – I pay a company to come and pump out the black water tank every 6 weeks or so. Lots of companies do it 🙂

I found it at out library …. maybe your library will have it too!!!

    I think you must be going to do some tiny living on your new property. We have a fifth wheel next to a river in the western North Carolina mountains. It’s been sitting there for 16 years. This past summer I finally got wood look floor vinyl put down and some painting done in the bedroom. I love getting to go for a couple of weeks at a time. It’s a six hour drive so I don’t get to go as often as I would like. Loved all the pictures. I saved some for future reference.

    I have no experience with RVs but think this is a great idea for your family. My husband and I were high school sweethearts who got married and finished college together. We bought a used mobile home and replaced the carpet and moved it near the college we were attending. We paid $3000 for it and when we graduated, we were able to sell it for $3000. It was a great investment for two poor college students or for anyone. Best of luck on this new adventure!

    These pictures are awesome – know you will enjoy doing your own space!! If you plan to live in it, you probably will want to join some Facebook groups to learn about how to keep the inside from molding as condensation is a big problem in small spaces when you run the heat or have high humidity. These pictures also show RVs which are settled in one spot – there is no way you could travel with those. I think you might like to investigate the RV Interiors Facebook page and any full time RV bloggers.

    Woohoo! I always thought it’d be fun to redo an RV. I would love to have one as a guest “cottage” at the farm. It kind of sounds like y’all are planning to live in one as you build. The tiny house movement is strong! With all your outside area for the kids to run in, you could do it!
    Let the adventure begin!!

    Cami..I think people can adapt to “anything” if they really want to. If “the plan” is that you guys are going be living in an RV until those dreams of yours become a reality, then anyone can make it work. And it will. I sure wouldn’t spend a bunch of money to “redecorate” it, when I would sooner want my money to be put towards that end goal on your 25 acres. I think it will be fun and the kids will think it’s an adventure. It will all work out. One thing my hubby and I found out about ourselves over the years is that we can adapt to anything. We have travelled all over the world and have stayed in glamourous hotels right down to small hostels living among the locals and “those” have been our very best experiences.
