RV Upgrades for More Efficiency

If you own an older or smaller RV, you may feel like the improvements are never over. There are so many areas where you can make a recreational vehicle special to suit your lifestyle. Even a newer RV model may be due for a few customizations so that it matches your vision of the perfect recreational vehicle. If you want to find out more, you can head to Carolina Coach & Camper in Claremont, North Carolina. We welcome customers from Winston-Salem and Charlotte, North Carolina. 

Solar Panels and Wind Power

Solar panels and wind power generators can help make your RV more energy efficient. Plenty of DIY tutorials are out there to guide you to create basic solar panels, which means you do not need to spend a lot of money. 

Wind power is also a great source of energy to tap into. A wind generator might be a great option if you spend a lot of time RVing in the winter when there is less sunlight. 

Thermal Blinds and Insulation

Another great option to make your RV more efficient during the winter months is investing in thermal blinds. Your recreational vehicle will lose less heat if you prevent it from getting out through the windows. Upgrading the insulation on your RV will also help keep heating and cooling costs down. Consider environmentally-friendly materials, such as wool or recycled newspapers. 

Awnings

Awnings are an excellent method to make your campsite work for you. Consider making a more efficient upgrade by sewing your basic awning out of an old tent. The shade you will receive will be worth it if it gets your family to spend some time taking in the views.

Unique Storage Solutions

Finding space in your RV for all of your stuff can be overwhelming. If you have too many seating areas or a dining booth, you can remove it to create custom storage. Fold-out beds are another option for people looking to maximize their interior space.

Water Upgrades

Replacing your shower head or faucets should be first on your list of improvements if you are looking to save water. Different products on the market help you waste less water. Or you can create a fun outdoor shower set up if you have a more compact RV model. 

If you have a smaller RV or struggle with space or energy use, consider thinking outside of the box. You can transform your RV into a more efficient space with just a few upgrades.
