If your camper is beginning to appear fatigued, outdated, or simply no longer suits your style, it may be due for a remodel. A camper remodel is an excellent method of adding comfort, increasing resale value, and making your RV a custom on-the-road residence. At Custom-way, we offer California RV owners complete and partial camper remodels—everything from custom cabinets and floor replacement to roof repair and electrical upgrades. Whether you want a modern farmhouse style or simply more storage, here‘s how you can get started with your own camper remodel.
🧰 How to Renovate a Camper
1. Plan Your Renovation
Start by deciding:
-
What’s your budget?
-
Do you want a cosmetic update or a full functional overhaul?
-
Are you renovating for personal use, resale, or even Airbnb-style rentals?
Sketch out a rough plan or vision board with ideas for colors, layouts, and features.
2. Empty the Camper
Before you begin, completely clear out the camper. Remove cushions, doors, appliances, and anything else in the way. This gives you a blank canvas to work on.
3. Inspect the Structure
Check for:
-
Water damage
-
Soft spots in the floor
-
Rot in walls or ceiling
-
Leaks on the roof
🔧 Custom-way Tip: If you find signs of water intrusion, fix those first. We often help clients repair subfloors, replace wall panels, or reseal roofs before cosmetic work begins.
4. Demo What You Don’t Need
Rip out old furniture, cabinets, or flooring that you want to replace. Be careful around electrical wiring and plumbing.
5. Repair and Prep
-
Patch holes in the walls or ceiling
-
Fix or replace the subfloor
-
Sand any woodwork that will be painted or refinished
6. Upgrade the Systems (Optional but Recommended)
This is the perfect time to modernize:
-
Electrical system (new lighting, USB outlets, solar wiring)
-
Plumbing (install new faucets, tanks, or water heaters)
-
Heating and A/C units
-
Install a backup camera or WiFi system
⚡ At Custom-way, we specialize in 12V upgrades, inverter installation, solar power systems, and more—designed for life on the road.
7. Paint & Flooring
Now the fun begins:
-
Choose light paint colors to make the space feel bigger
-
Use peel-and-stick vinyl or laminate flooring for easy, durable upgrades
8. Install New Furniture and Storage
-
Replace or reupholster cushions
-
Add multifunctional furniture
-
Install custom cabinets or shelves for better space usage
🛠️ We offer custom carpentry and furniture-building services to fit any camper size or layout.
9. Finishing Touches
-
Add LED lighting
-
Decorate with curtains, rugs, plants
-
Hang organizers, hooks, or wall art
Your camper is now not just functional—it’s a space that feels like home.
