So You Want to Renovate an RV - Why?

Published on 4 May 2025 at 20:30

No, I'm not being obtuse. It's a question you really do need to think about and have an answer to. 

 

1. Do you already own an RV but it no longer meets your needs? Is it dated and needs an upgrade? Is it in need of repair due to differed maintenance?

OR

2. Are you looking to buy an RV but can't find what you want? So you're considering purchasing one and renovating it into your dream RV?

OR

3. Do you want to purchase, renovate and 'flip' an RV? 

Renovating an RV is a horse of a different color.....often a rainbow of colors.🌈 I say this without reservation. My entire working career has been in construction totaling over 36 years with 20 plus of those years as a General Contractor building everything from shopping centers and luxurious custom homes to decks and backyard sheds, yet RV renovations are just different! 🤷‍♂️ Everything from material used for framing, plumbing fittings, cabinet materials etc. can all vary from one RV to another. So you need to prepare yourself to pivot often.

 

The time, work, expense and frustrations of completing an RV renovation can be overwhelming and for many, a task not worth attempting on their own. However, for others it can be a very satisfying accomplishment. 

 

In general it will take twice as long as you guess and cost you double what you're expecting....possibly triple. 

 

So answer the 'why' you want to renovate an RV before starting. Look closely at what you want done, then look at your skill set and your tool chest and decide if it's time to roll up your sleeves and get to work OR if it's time to reach out to me, here at Pacific Coast Renovators! 😊
