Fun And Simple RV Remodel Ideas For Your 5th Wheel

We got a 2020 Keystone Montana High Country 335BH from Camping World. Then gave ourselves about 2 1/2 weeks to remodel it and make it feel more like home. Below we share our fun and simple RV remodel ideas.



At this point we had been living in an RV for over 6 years so we had some good ideas what we wanted in the RV!



Since the RV was brand new we didn’t want to do a ton of work on it but instead just do more surface work to make it look like ours and not an RV on the lot.



Our RV’s are our homes on wheels since we travel full time so it is important to us that we take the time to make it feel like our own and not have the RV feel.



Remodeling your RV can take months and months or you can keep it pretty simple and straightforward.



We tried to keep ours minimal so it could fit in a 2 1/2-week time frame. This was with both Craig and I working on it every single day.



When we did our last travel trailer remodel we did it in less than 2 weeks so we knew we could do it.

Now into the details of what we did and what products we used:



Living Room:






Couch



We removed the couch that was there. It fit out right through the door. It was a nice couch with reclining seats but just wouldn’t work for a family of 6. We usually find that RV furniture isn’t really selected with kids or families in mind.



We went with a less expensive futon couch option from Amazon. Craig found one we like better from Urban Outfitters but it was out of stock – so we may be upgrading to that this fall. **UPDATE – we did upgrade. This one from Amazon did not last long and is no longer available (wonder why :)).



We have been much happier with the couch we got from Urban Outfitters: Brenna Convertible Sofa. That doesn’t look like it is available anymore either.



Here is another option that may work:

Going with a futon gives more sleeping space for our kids and also an option for when they have sleepovers.



I was OK with this couch. It is comfortable enough and the futon part works well. However it seems kind of small in the space??



Side Table



It is so hard to find a table that will fit in these little spots in the RV. I was so excited when I came across an Etsy shop that made custom sized tables!



I measured where everyone was going to go in the slide-out and then set our measurements.



They built and sent back an unstained table. Craig had the stain from around the slide-out so he stained it to match! Perfect! I really like this table!

Bamboo Shades



Our friend at https://www.instagram.com/this.sacred.space/ shared a picture of her living room with me and recommended bamboo shades. I was sold!



We ordered these off of Amazon and took down the shades and valances that were here.

Craig did have to cut the bottoms off – as they were for a 72 inch window. But he was pretty easily able to do that and re-glue the bottom piece on.



Curtains



I kept trying and trying on Amazon to find what I wanted but no go. So instead I checked out World Market and found the White Jute Striped Sahaj Tab Top Curtains. They are no longer available but I love World Market and what they have so I recommend you look there.



They were exactly what I was looking for.



At first I thought I needed to ordered 4 so they were going to be pricey and then at the last minute I realized they come in packs of 2 so I only needed 2. That made the price way better.



When we got them they were a little too long but I just took the scissors and cut the bottom. So if you are ever in our rig don’t look too close :).



We removed the valances that you see on every RV window and ordered a long curtain rod to put up. Then hung the curtains.

Table



We went back and forth on keeping the table that was in the RV but ended up opting to make our own table. The one we had was a little too big for the space so by making one we had the ability to set the size.



We had gotten butcher block wood from Menards (a hardware store) to make a desk in the bedroom so used that to make the table. Craig then ordered table legs from Amazon and stained the wood and put it all together.

It isn’t super sturdy right now . . . so we will have to figure that out but for now it works.



Chairs



Instead of regular chairs, we went with these circle green velvet ottomans. I loved the way they looked plus there is inside storage! Win, win! Space-saving things like this are always good for your RV interior!

Bench



For the other side, I wanted to do a storage bench so that we could have storage in bins underneath for art supplies and games. This one is a bit on the smaller side but it is what we needed to fit back there so we could still access the plug. I picked up some baskets at Menards that fit in the cubbies.

Plant by the table: Burros Tail



This one seems really fragile . . . so we will see what happens. But it looks so cool!



**Update – it didn’t make it. Probably on me? Or else not good with travel and weather changes.



Plant by the couch/end table: Fishhooks



I love how this one hangs down!



**Update – it didn’t make it. Probably on me? Or else not good with travel and weather changes.



Plants in the corner by the TV : Spider Plant on top and Nerve Plant on the bottom.
