WHEN AND WHERE TO BUY AN RV
If you’re looking for an RV to fix up, the off-season is a great time to buy! My husband works with someone who has a side hustle of buying and selling RVs, and he highly recommends the new year as the perfect time to get one. When people find themselves high with bills from the Holidays, an RV is the first thing to go to, and they are often desperate sellers.
In our search for finding an affordable RV in need of some tender DIY love and care, here are the places we searched:
- Local Classifieds
- Facebook Marketplace
- Word of Mouth

It’s important to rethink all the RV nooks and crannies to make sure they function for your needs. I love how Life as an Artistpreneur reworked this wall to provide entertainment and decor.

I’m finding out Instagram is a major hub for RV enthusiasts to share their improvements and adventures. It was fun to discover this account –CleverFoxMamaonInstagram. You can’t even tell this is an RV!
8. THE ARROW ANGLERS
I’m inspired by the modern look of the RV by TheArrowAnglers. Their use of woods, whites, and blacks come together so nicely.

I am wowed by the clever idea of using a ladder behind the potty for storage and beauty.
Every detail is noteworthy. Check out the peel and stick wallpapered pocket door, faux shiplap, lighting, countertop, flooring, stairs . . .
I would never have guessed this was an RV’s kitchen!

12. WILSON GRAND ADVENTURES
I keep thinking those dinette nooks makes it hard for everyone to scoot and sit. I love how WilsonGrandAdventures on Instagramchanged that area into a bar-like space for eating and a work spot for the whole family. Brilliant!
This cozy landing place came a long way as well!

You can count on Mandy from Vintage Revivalsto come up with the most creative designs, and an RV was no exception. What she calls “the nugget” is a tiny retro RV that they transformed into the happiest place on earth!

The YouTube star, DIY Mommy, decorates her remodeled RV for all the seasons. I love watching them make the most of their RV!
15. ANYONE CAN DECORATE
For all my fellow shabby chic fans, this RV from Anyone Can Decorate goes down as the most unique RV I’ve seen yet!
16. ZEVY JOY
The pop-up camper that has taken Instagram by storm comes from my sweet friend Annie of Zevy Joy. It looks like an outdoor oasis!
