Customizing Our New Motorhome for Full Time RV Life - The Mods Begin!

[@ChasingChey]

Looks sooo much better without those dated valances! I'm a big fan of DIY upholstered headboards - you choose your materials/fabrics and can even make one out of multiple smaller pieces (squares, hexagons, etc) to fit your space. Can't wait to see what you guys decide!

[@Five2Go]

Thanks! A pieced-together headboard sounds really interesting... Hmmm...

[@SJ_DtL]

White bead board is bright and cheery for the headboard wall, or horizontal stained wood would be cozy if you’re not planning to paint the overhead cabinet. RV manufacturers: Ditch the valances in favour of tinted windows!

[@Five2Go]

The windows are tinted and you can't see in during the day, but when it's dark out it's pretty easy to see inside if the lights are on. They should just do nice curtains and stop putting all that heavy stuff around all the windows! Knowing the trends though, they'd put in curtains that are huge and clunky with a pattern from the 60's! 🤣

[@megarahdee]

Take your favorite Scenic photo 📷 and print it large enough to cover the entire headboard area. That way no matter where you go you will always wake up in that beautiful place. For me it would be a white sand beach

[@Five2Go]

That's a great idea!

Shiplap behind the bed! Maybe frost the bathroom window for privacy but you still get the light!

[@Five2Go]

Another vote for shiplap! 👍😁👍

[@LifeWithTheRVkeys]

Hey to each their own. Here in Florida where you bought this, light kills! The sun not only damages your skin, but also the interior fabrics and colors of your rv. I hope you get something to replace the functionality of the valances, not only for privacy, but for protecting your rv.

[@Five2Go]

We're replacing them, we definitely don't want open windows. The valances were just so big and chunky and in the way that we had to do something else.

[@hosephine1]

Funny! I was thinking in Alaska we need them to keep cold seeping inside.

[@marcireale]

Sooooo glad you ripped out the window coverings! My hubs thinks everything has to stay EXACTLY as it came from the factory. (I’m slowly making changes, though.)

[@Five2Go]

Things definitely don't have to stay the same! We're not going to do anything permanent like painting, but taking things down or swapping things out are totally fair game.

[@RollinRagu]

Enjoying your process here. We've had very similar moments ourselves. You may not want to hear it, but my wife said ya'll will be removing the dinette soon. We did. One of the better moves we made.

[@Five2Go]

We were talking about taking the dinette out of whatever motorhome we bought, but this one is actually comfortable and big enough for us to fit in it. We were surprised! The dinette in our last rig was too small and not comfortable so we totally should've replaced it with something. I don't think we will in this one, at least no time soon.

[@lucillehjort8110]

I would not have the courage to do that. I did think that it looked nice though but I know that it will still be nice in a different style.

[@Five2Go]

We're putting curtains up soon. The naked windows aren't great looking, but those chunky valances had to go.

[@elizabethrhodes7664]

Three thoughts in the order of their appearance: 1) My mama told me never trust a man in plaid pants. 😊 2) I pulled all my valances, too, and I took one of the short ones and hung it upside down by the bed as a shelf/caddy for my tablet, glasses, etc. 3) I am so glad to see your daughter getting in on the action!

My first KZbin comment!! 🤭😁 You guys are a joy to watch. Family is so important - they grow up sooooo fast. Enjoy your family time! 🥰🤗 My husband and I removed our headboard as well. We are looking into thin stainless steel sheet for mirror effect to make space look bigger. (We are in a B+) Comes in 4'x8' sheets that adhere to wall. Price is not too bad - about $85. We are torn tho. I like the other suggestions as well. Looked at foam adhesives but don't like brick pattern and couldn't find other patterns. Battle of removing valances...... Me no - he yes. After seeing what a difference it made for you, I think HE just WON!! 🤣😂

The place looks so much roomier without those horrid things! I’d toss them, though for resale, some people actually like them 😜. You could layer your curtains or have “hot sun beaming in” ones in storage underneath for swapping out. A lot easier than putting those “things” up, I do that for our living room, light weight ones for winter & darker heavier for the hot day(s) of summer. I’d paint the walls, the cabinets are nice looking & with cleaner looking walls they will look really good & classy. And help lighten up the whole rig. Headboard area: I like the look of shiplap wallpaper, a light colour of course.

[@Five2Go]

Thanks Libby! We're going to pack them up and store them underneath in case we want to use the blinds in the future or a future buyer wants to put them back up. We've been talking about a combination of black-out curtains for heat and more decorative curtains for looks - stay tuned!

I can't understand the RV Industry's obsession with large wooden valences. We just took all of ours out as well. We only had the single shades that were mounted to the valence. They were actually pretty good quality so I simply mounted the shades to the wall and then we put curtains up. It looks so much better. More home-like.

[@Five2Go]

We're putting curtains up - it's just a matter of finding the right fabric!

[@askmslynnllc5363]

We are replacing our trailer valence and shapes with light colored a shade curtain made out of the reflective emergency blankets and a light colored curtain. The reflective emergency blanket will reflex the damaging part of the sun but let some light in. The curtain will also reduce the sound that bounces on the hard walls and cabinets while giving privacy.

[@Five2Go]

Is the emergency blanket material between layers of fabric or are they shiny on the outside?

[@askmslynnllc5363]

[@Five2Go]

We're putting something way lighter up in place of those window coverings. The valances in our previous RV were a pain too, especially in the bedroom. We couldn't even open the door all the way because it hit one of them! They're so ridiculous.

[@judygipson3517]

RV Manufacturers should have those tacky valances as "options" and not just cram them on every RV they make. I also wish they had choices of interior wall and cabinet colors instead of the cookie cutter dark wood. A lot of people seem to paint their own interiors with lighter colored paint. This really adds light to a dark interior.

[@Five2Go]

We agree! Valances are such a waste! We don't want to commit to paint, but we're exploring some other wall covering options...

Taking the blinds down is a mistake in my opinion unless you are replacing them with something else.

@@Five2Go Figured you must be doing something which is why I said I will wait to see the finished product. I do agree those surrounds were bulky, although I do like those types of blind.

I have a 2020 winnebago 32 ft motorhome... and YES I am going to do the same thing. One of the blinds is already broke... So I'm going to do them all.. and my head board is already loose. The valances are junk, and don't look good at all. But I still need to find something better. So I'm going to wait to see what you do and how it looks.

[@Five2Go]

We're still trying to decide on what to put back up to cover the windows, but whatever it is, it's going to be way lighter and look a ton better!

[@katerick6158]

"Brian Christopher" you have been spoken to lol. Looks sooo much better Wallpaper as the headboard of the bed. You can get some lovely patterns to brighten the area

[@Five2Go]

Haha! She said she wanted to help! 😜 What colors or patterns would you do in the bedroom?

[@christinarewis2211]

New subscriber, love love your videos! How funny is it I’m married to a Brian Christopher too! Can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos! You guys are awesome and amazing!

[@claudianavarro8170]

[@aaronburchael2512]

[@Five2Go]

Thanks Aaron!

You know you are in trouble le when the middle name comes out, lol.

[@Five2Go]

Haha! It's not the first, or last, time!

I would just reupholster the headboard and smash it back up. I do not understand why they put the valances up. They are a ton of work and so dated looking.

[@Five2Go]

We've never seen valances that we wouldn't take down, and we've been in hundreds of RVs. They're just a waste!

[@RockyFoxxowo]

We would probably embroidery that sorta matches the rigs exterior pattern, its what we are gonna do

[@Five2Go]

You're way more talented than we are! 😂

[@RockyFoxxowo]

@@Five2Go it's a simple pattern, it should be doable 😸

[@groovehorn2328]

Stay safe and happy

[@Five2Go]

Thanks Jack!
