RV interior upgrades cover the parts of a trailer you live with rather than tow. A few decisions come up again and again: where you sleep, how dark you can make it, where you sit when the weather keeps you inside, and how you keep the heat out of it in summer.
Who this is for. Anybody planning RV interior changes on a travel trailer, especially one where the factory fittings were chosen on cost. Measure before you read the product articles, because in this category the measurement decides the product.
Sleeping
RV mattresses are not standard residential sizes, and that single fact causes most of the wasted money in this category. RV mattress replacement covers how to measure yours properly, why an RV queen is not a queen, and what actually fits once you know the number.
Light is the other half of sleeping well in a trailer, and factory shades rarely do much. RV blackout curtains and shades covers what genuinely blocks light in a rig with shallow window frames, and how the mounting options differ.
Sitting
Trailer walls make RV interior furniture decisions for you. RV recliners covers why wall hugger is the specification that matters, how much clearance each design actually needs behind it, and what the published figures leave out.
Staying cool
The rooftop unit is the appliance that decides whether the inside of the trailer is usable in August, and it is the one most owners have never actually looked at. RV air conditioners covers how the unit works, what the manufacturers publish about sizing and power, why the startup surge matters more than the running draw, and which of the familiar numbers have no manufacturer behind them at all.
The control end of that system is its own subject. RV thermostats covers why the one on the wall of a trailer is not the one on the wall at home, what the wires do, and how to tell the thermostat failed rather than the air conditioner.
The room itself is the other moving part in here. RV slide out types covers the four mechanisms, how to tell in two minutes which one is under your rig, and why three of the four manufacturers say in writing not to lubricate it.
