Awesome Travel Trailer Remodel Ideas [Video Included!]

In a travel trailer you want to be sure that all your space is being used. This takes a lot of measuring, searching and trying to find what fits and what will work. And you can’t forget to add some spice and fun with decorations and peel and stick wallpaper (I LOVE peel and stick wallpaper) in your travel trailer remodel to make it feel like a tiny home.



In our post we will walk through each section of our travel trailer remodel and share our tips and ideas on how to make it work in a small space while also making it look like home! 



Please note most of the links are Amazon Affiliate links – but they do reflect the actual product we purchased and used in our rig. We also were full time RVing with our 4 kids and dog in this rig so we had to get things setup for us to be living in the rig!



We full time RV’d for over 8 years and and have been in 6 different rigs. Here is a post we have that shares our tips on getting your family RV . We have also done an RV remodel on our 5th wheel. Even if you aren’t full time RVing but instead take RV trips it is fun to have your RV feel more like home!



Check out our video showing all of the changes we made:

Spice Rack



I searched far and wide for a spice rack that would fit just right next to our stove. This one wasn’t perfect but it was pretty close.

We used mounting tape for the bottom and had to add a makeshift cardboard piece – (basically just piled a bunch of cardboard pieces together and taped them up) to make it level. I didn’t realize that as you went further back the counter got a little smaller so things weren’t lining up perfect. We then screwed the top into the wall with small screws.

I wasn’t sure if the spices I would buy from the store would fit so I also bought spice containers that fit perfectly. Some of the store-bought spices did fit. But if they didn’t I have the spice containers.

Towel Hanger



All we did for our towels was buy stick-on hangers. They work great since the kitchen towels aren’t that large or heavy.

Behind The Stove Basket



Since we travel a lot (we are usually moving places every 3-4 days) we need to make sure that most of our stuff will stay put while traveling. That is why I bought these wire baskets to put behind the stove.

Since it is behind the stove I wanted to get wire and not plastic. And again it took a lot of research to find one that was the right size to fit back there and this one worked out perfect!



The challenge game with finding containers that would fit inside the basket . . . our thought was to put things we used every day – like Coffee, Sugar, and Oatmeal in easy-to-reach containers. Versus having to shuffle things around in our cabinet every morning.



I also wanted Glass and not plastic. I wasn’t able to find a glass coffee container – my husband was specific in wanting a rectangle opening for the coffee so I went with this one:



It actually held up well behind the stove and didn’t melt. But we also don’t use that back burner often . . .



For the glass ones I found a set that fit perfectly in the basket and hold a lot of sugar and oatmeal! Unfortunately they are no longer available on Amazon. 



The last thing was the Flour. Again I couldn’t find glass in the right size so I went with another plastic one. It is getting the job done. And actually sits outside of the basket against the wall in the corner. The basket and spice rack hold it in place while traveling.

Magnets On Stove Range



Every time we go to a National Park we get a magnet of the park! I love looking at them and remembering visiting the park.



Cutting Board Popup



As you can see, this is a small kitchen for a family of 6. My husband does most of the cooking and he really wanted more counter space. It was hard to find something that would fit perfectly so he decided to make his own.



He took a regular cutting board and cut it in half, sanded it down, bought the brackets, connected it to the brackets, then to the counter and there you go! A pop up cutting board!

Counter Cabinet



Like I mentioned above. We have 6 people using this kitchen . . . so we needed more storage.



Originally in this spot there was a small TV. We removed the TV and searched high and low for a drawer set that would fit this spot. We found this double drawer that sits perfectly on the counter.

With the fact that we move so often we had to make sure it wouldn’t move when we were driving down the road. So my husband used mounting tape to attach it to the counter and then put caulk around the whole bottom – to keep water out and to secure it.



Once it was in we had a lot of open area on top of the drawers so we decided to find baskets where we could put fruit and bowls/cups. I liked the way it looked but quickly found I needed to add a paper plate to the bottom of the basket so the fruit didn’t get dented! I did love how the kids could just grab a piece of fruit when they were hungry.



Note: We added nails to the top and bottom of the black drawers so that we could put a rubber band on there to hold the doors closed when driving. It worked great!
