Is a Camper Remodel the Right Choice for Your Retirement Tiny Home?

Updated: Sep 14

Retirement Planning - On the Road or Permanent?


You've retired. Now what? You decide to travel awhile in your camper and visit different attractions across the continental United States. After a few years of this travel of packing up, unpacking, driving, unpacking and packing up, and doing it all over again, it's got to be a bit much. However, you enjoy living out of your camper because it's easy to care for, and the people you've met are friendly. What to do? What to do?

You've come across the perfect campground; although it doesn't have fancy amenities, it has community, friendliness, peace, quiet, and nature. There are things to do close by or within a day or two trip. This is it. This is the place to settle and retire for years to come. A place where you can have a porch or deck, raised bed gardens, skirting, window AC units, up to a 10' x 15' shed, and metal, fabric, or wood canopies. With these features, you can create attractive outdoor living areas. But, you look at the inside of your camper and realize it's become drab and outdated after a few years of traveling, and in desperate need of a makeover.


Now that you've settled permanently, it's time to unleash your creativity. Grab that paintbrush, paste on some wallpaper, and redesign the kitchen, bedroom, dining, and living rooms. Consider open shelving, new furniture, curtains, countertops, and rugs. Give your whole camper inside a facelift to give it a cleaner and more modern feel. This is your chance to personalize your living space and make it truly yours.


Research, Plan & Budget Your RV Camper Remodel


Before starting this camper remodel, remember that it's all about making your living space more comfortable and functional. Investigate how you could add storage, open up spaces, and give the kitchen more workspace. There's so much you can do. An excellent place to start is YouTube.com. Watching these videos could also help you incorporate new ideas for adding room and storage to tiny living spaces. For instance, you could consider installing foldable furniture, using vertical storage solutions, or creating multi-functional spaces. Numerous videos have popped up on TikTok and software to help with designs. There are so many design ideas to help you make the necessary adjustments to allow you to live comfortably in your tiny home. That's the best of two worlds – staying in one place yet being in an affordable camping situation.
