RV Upgrades and Mods That Can Make Your RV Modernized and More Energy Efficient

Owning an RV allows for an amazing way to travel and experience the world around you. Finding the rig that suits your usage needs is the first step, and it can be exhilarating to select an RV that seems to fit you like a glove. But if you’re like most people, you’ll eventually find things in your RV that you wish could be tweaked a little or improved. 

Luckily, there are lots of easy upgrades and mods (modifications) you can complete to customize your RV and make it more modern and energy efficient.

How Do I Modernize My RV?

If you’re looking to bring an older RV into today’s interior design standards, check out these upgrades that will help modernize your rig.

Install Stick-On Backsplash

One thing that seems to pull an entire brick-and-mortar kitchen together is the backsplash. And since RV interior design often leaves much to be desired, installing a stick-on backsplash can quickly and easily bring your kitchen from blah to wow. Thanks to it’s affordable price and with plenty of tile-look patterns to choose from, you’ll find that stick-on backsplash is an excellent RV mod you can make today. 

Upgrade RV Kitchen and Bathroom Fixtures and Hardware 

For instant modernization in your RV, consider installing fixture and hardware upgrades like faucets, cabinet pulls, towel racks and rings in your RV kitchen and bathroom. Opt for classic and timeless finishes such as brushed nickel, chrome, and oil-rubbed bronze.

How Can I Make My RV More Energy Efficient?

RV upgrades and mods don’t always have to be focused on the interior design and look of your rig. If improving your RVs energy efficiency is important to you, here are a few upgrades you can complete to achieve that. 

Install a Solar Power System

Installing an RV solar power system will allow you to harness the energy of the sun to power your RV appliances and devices. This is an excellent upgrade to make, especially if you like to boondock or camp in remote places. But there are many RV solar power systems out there, and they are not all made or perform the same, so do some research and read reviews before you purchase and install anything. 

Switch to LED Lighting

Another easy upgrade you can make to your RV is to replace traditional lighting with LED lighting when possible. Traditional light bulbs give off a lot of heat and can use lots of energy, too. LED lightbulbs and lighting, on the other hand, use far less energy and operate at cooler temperatures compared to traditional lighting. Whether you simply switch to LED lightbulbs or change out your lighting fixtures entirely, you’ll see a meaningful reduction in your RVs energy usage.
