What Motorhome upgrades & repairs can you do

Like a house, when you own a motorhome, it will require motorhome upgrades and repairs.what upgrades should we do to our motorhome

So, whether you're deciding to upgrade something in your motorhome and want to see what worked for us or, look at what's possible - you're in the right place.

Having owned our motorhome for over 7 years now, there is various things we have had to do to keep her in tip top shape and make life on the road more enjoyable.

If you want to know more about our rig, you can read about it in our post here.

Ways to improve your motorhome or caravan

Cutlery drawer insert for your motorhome or caravan

Cutlery drawer inserts are a great way to organise and improve storage in your kitchen drawers. caravan & motorhome storage tips

This was a bamboo (light) cutlery organiser from Kmart and is adjustable to the exact size of the drawer width.  

There are many different drawer organisers available on the market and a great improvement to your caravan or motorhome.

Replacing a gas stove top in motorhome or caravan

replacing motorhome gas stoveWe had had issues with the burners not being able to be increased, irrespective of the setting selected. 

Now keep in mind, this issue can be a result of the regulator on the gas bottle so we had that inspected first and it was fine. 

We were in South West, Western Australia.  At the time of writing and used Ryan from Woodbury Plumbing who was fantastic and came to the motorhome. 

The previous one we replaced was a Dometic. We bought the replacement one during black friday sales in November and saved 20%.

This is a great tip and worth waiting for to save money.

Adding a Vision mesh security door to motorhome or caravan

Motorhome SecurityMost fulltime travellers on the road chase the sun as a general rule.  There is obviously good reasons for this including, solar power works more effectively, BBQ’s on the beach or in the park and lots of outdoor adventures revolve around good weather.

But also, security is a major factor on the road and we ensure that we have adequate measures in place to protect our rig.

This is just one of them, it was not cheap, was done in February 2016 and cost $1,750.00. By Perth Caravan Repair Centre. I sleep better knowing we have it, especially in hot weather.

Spice rack installed back of kitchen cupboard door

motorhome kitchen tipsLike a lot of other fulltime travellers, I love to cook and having some luxuries for cooking and baking on the road was important to me.

Brett installed this standard rack on timber supports running horizontal and had then set the drawers on their runners back a smidgen to allow for the depth of the rack inside the cupboard. 

There was ample room behind the drawers and wasted space so this was easily achieved and easy access while cooking. 

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his belly – he is more than happy to upgrade anything that is to do with his home cooked meals!!
