RV Renovation Tour: https://youtu.be/KcLTHEKo-X8 RV Renovation Vlog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n4wMpRX3E8 How much does it cost to renovate an RV? We spent very close to $2,500 when it was all said and done. Furniture ($500 + $160 + $200+$100)= $960 How awesome is it that a Ikea opened in Fishers right when we were doing this? We spent Friheten couch is $600 onlinenow, but we got it for $500 Eket Sliding Cabinet drawers $90 +10 +10. On to pof two eket cabinet with door ($25 each) Norden Gateleg Table $200 We also picked up our comforters and some blankets here at another $100 Blinds ($200 +$100)= $300 Select Blinds $194.47 for custom color and size. These were something that I was adamant about so it would be banging around in back while driving. I’ve driven plumbing truck long enough to know. $100 for fabric for new drapes for front and smaller windows. Of course, my mom and aunt helping us with the sewing is priceless. Thanks Donna and MOM!

CounterTop Paint ($50) You can find countertop painting kits on Amazon that will give you MORE than enough to do all the surfaces in your RV. Random wood accents ($190) We ended up buying 1 sheet of beadboard for bathroom 2 sheets of faux pallet board for headboard and kitchen accent. (Sheets are only $30-$40 Lots of new trim to replace old beat up stuff. Finally, pine that was painted to look reclaimed from Lowes. All this was much cheaper than going with the stickwood method. That would have been faster but stupid expensive. TILE ($100) All of the subway tiling cost less than $100 all supplies included We bought individual pieces and this was the first tile job I ever did. Trust me- I thought there was no way that the tile wasn’t going to crack and fall off the wall but 20,000 miles later and she was
