Because of how expensive new RVs are, you may be better off freshening up your RV’s flooring, paint, or wallpaper to make your old RV look new–rather than splurging on a brand-new rig<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only will a paint refresh breathe new life into an outdated motorhome, but making small updates to your rig could boost the resale value<\/strong> if you’re planning to put your RV on the market. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revamp with Paint: A Fresh Coat for a Fresh Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While adding a few coats of paint to your RV might seem like a tall task, it doesn’t have to be. For instance, rather than repainting<\/a> every square inch of walls, ceilings, and cabinets, focus on just one of these components. After all, just repainting your kitchen\/bathroom cabinets is far less work than a whole-trailer painting project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a simple cabinet refresh isn’t enough to shave years off your RV, you may consider painting the walls, too. To minimize the work involved, a good option is to paint a single room in your RV or simply add a single accent wall–rather than painting every wall in every room. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long as you choose a neutral, modern color<\/a>, it won’t take much to make your old RV look like new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, if you don’t want to go to the trouble of painting (and sign up for all the mess and prep work that goes along with it), you can update your wallpaper! You can add new wallpaper for less than $150, whereas repainting can cost upwards of $400. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modernize Your Flooring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Installation<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t feel like painting, you can also opt to focus on the flooring. RVs, especially older ones, are notorious for having cheap, outdated flooring that’s prone to stains and damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how old your rig is, there’s a good chance that a simple wash and shine are not enough to make your floors look clean<\/strong>, let alone updated<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing new flooring is also something you can do on a budget, as rolls of laminate flooring can cost as little as 35 to 60 cents\/square foot.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you prefer roll-and-stick tiles, vinyl rolls, or laminate tongue and groove flooring<\/strong>, they’re all fairly easy to install. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
