We have had our holiday Rambler Vacationer for two years now and have been slowly updating it along the way. When they first purchased it we were so excited that we immediately started camping and began planning the renovations we wanted to do during the wintertime. We have had a couple pop-up campers and one other motorhome in the past; and we are big believers and turning them into "ours". We really haven't worried about what it would be like selling them; and honestly when we have sold them they've sold very quickly for the price we wanted.

Our previous motorhome we had also renovated, but four months after we had it completed, my husband got into an accident and totaled that unit out. Luckily no one was hurt. Two weeks after the accident we were lucky to stumble across our current motorhome that had very low miles and was in pristine condition. It had been very well taken care of, and we knew we could turn the inside what we wanted it to be. The floor plan worked well for us and it was the size that we were looking for.

We added new furniture, new flooring, new countertops, a dishwasher, fireplace, and new TVs. We removed the table because we always eat outside, and another small chair that just took up space. For us having a little bit extra breathing room was more important because there is no slide out in this unit.

My husband did all of the work himself except for the installation of the granite countertops. Like I said we are big believers in turning our camper into something that we want, and not so much worrying about selling it later; we've never had a problem.

work in progress

Looks good. Except for the bedspread. LOL  I don't see why you would have any issues selling it.  The remodel isn't anything radical at all.
 
Looks great!  Where did you guys find a leather sofa that fits?  We'd love to ditch our jackknife sofa for something more comfortable.  The bathroom in particular is really nice; we never even considered doing an upgrade to the sink and countertops.

We love our Campersaurus and can't wait to get it all finished the way we want it.  We're like you guys; we don't plan to sell ours because it's in good shape, it drives very nicely, and is the perfect size for us.
 
We ordered our furniture from Brad and Hall in Indiana.  We drove to the store and looked around the show room, had an opportunity to try several styles and then decided to special order what we want. The couch has two recliners and is very comfortable!!!!
