Christmas RV Tour

Hey everyone! I’m so excited to share my Christmas RV tour with you today! It almost didn’t happen this year, but we pulled it off. Our current Class A RV renovation project has hit a few roadblocks. We ran into a lot of expensive fixes that slowed the whole renovation progress down. It is far from done! I had high hopes that we would be taking this RV out at least once during the Fall camping season, but that never happened.

I loved decorating our Class C RV for Christmas last year, and really wanted to do the same with the Class A. I managed to finish up a few projects just in time to take some pictures. What you don’t see in these pictures, is all the unfinished projects! The flooring isn’t done, the sink isn’t fully hooked up, and there are several drawer fronts missing from the kitchen area. Not to mention, we still need to replace the propane tank, fix the generator, then gut the entire bathroom and back bedroom!

The To-Do List

Here is my original to-do list! I have checked many of these things off this list, but there is still a lot to do. The exterior will have to wait until the Spring, since it’s currently covered in 10 inches of snow!

  • Rip out carpet and replace with new vinyl or laminate flooring
  • Paint walls
  • Paint cabinets and replace hardware
  • Remove trim around slide-out and replace
  • Cut curved area of slide-out flooring to make straight
  • Replace window coverings with bamboo shades or curtains
  • Reconfigure slide-out layout and replace couch and dinette
  • Clean front captains chairs
  • Clean and salvage curtain that goes across front window
  • Paint dash
  • Update lighting
  • New counter tops and farmhouse sink
  • Seal outside from water, remove decals and clean or paint exterior

Here’s a quick BEFORE picture of what this area used to look like!

Design Details

You can read more about why we chose to change up the layout of our slide-out and living area in this post: Class A RV Renovation 
Here are a few of the key things we did with this room:

  • New vinyl flooring
  • Sharpie painted wall
  • Peel and stick subway tile
  • New light fixtures
  • Painted cabinets
  • Update cabinet hardware
  • New couches with pull-out beds and Beddy’s bedding
  • New window coverings
  • New trim around slideout
  • Painted kitchen cabinets
  • Farmhouse sink and butcher block counter tops

    Great job! I love the peel and stick in your living area. Can you please let me know where I can purchase.

      Hi! It’s not peel and stick, it’s done using a Sharpie :) https://www.allthingswithpurpose.com/create-the-look-of-wallpaper-or-shiplap-using-a-sharpie-paint-pen/

    I love what you did with your RV! We are remodeling our RV and I was wondering where you got your sofa beds?

      Hi Jodie!
      We got the sofa beds from Bob’s Discount Furniture. They are actually part of a sectional, but they allow you to purchase just the armless section and you can put a bed in any of their couches!

    As a fellow RVer, I was excited to read this post! Everything looks so great! We always go on a trip right after Christmas; one of these years I really need to do a little decorating in the trailer.

    You have done a wonderful job! Kids are sure cute and look so cozy on those gorgeous sofa beds.
    Just a question though, do you always put in 110 voltage light fixtures?
    Really like the blue color. Happy Holidays!

      Hi Mary! Thanks so much! Yes and no LOL I use 12v light fixtures when possible, but there is a very limited selection out there of trendy or cute 12v lights. Instead, did you know you can wire 110v fixtures in with the 12v wire, as long as you use 12v light bulbs!! It’s a game changer!

    I love that you jazzed up your RV for Christmas! It looks so festive and I hope that your family gets to take some fun trips in it this holiday season. I was SO impressed with your before and after shot. My husband as well!
