Anyone remodel the interior?

We have a 33' TH that we've been trying to sell for sometime with plans to replace it with a bunkhouse 5ver. We're content with the size of our trailer but are unhappy with the floor plan, cabinets etc. Another nice addition would be to close off the rear bunks so the kids have their own space.

I was thinking that it might be cheaper to remodel vs purchasing a new trailer, depending on what our taste would be in replacement equipment.

Anyone?
  • We done a few things to ours to update it. Our 5th wheel is 20 years old and we really like the floor plan but needed a desk and wanted an electric fireplace like some of the newer models.

    We added a desk in the dining area. like this http://amazingmagictable.com/2tabledesk2.htm

    I bought a fireplace insert online and removed a three drawers from a cabinet under the counter where the main TV sits. With a little modification the fireplace insert fit perfectly.

    We added small storage cabinets between the windows in our living room slideout.

    The bottom step up to the bathroom area was converted to a storage compartment by adding a hinge on the tread so it would lift up.

    We replaced the FlexSteel recliners with two from Lazy Boy for more comfort.

    In the bedroom there was a counter where the bed partially slid into when the slideout is in the travel position. There was still enough room to add four 3 drawer plastic storage units from Walmart.

    Yes modifications can be done but you have to be concerned about weight balance, structure elements, plumbing, electrical and other stuff the manufacturer places during the build when tearing out existing cabinets/walls.

    Is that a Class C motorhome? It looks a little on the small side.

    Details, with pics, of the build please.
  • downtheroad - Hope the lighting is LED or you are going to need a bigger generator.

    Pretty sure that pool table would put me over weight limits.
