Pop up trailer remodel??

Mandie
by Mandie

I'm replacing the 90s decor/style that is in my 1995 pop up trailer. I have tons of questions. I need help on how to replace the curtains, seat and bed pad covers to give it a more clean and updated look. I want to go as 'cheap' as possible, without looking cheap and to inspire others to do it too.

I'm replacing the flooring with the peel & stick vinyl, but should I pull up the old vinyl? It's coming up inside the cabinets, but not on the rest of the flooring. And should I use anything on the cabinets before I paint them? I've read a lot of different things, but so confused since this is my first time doing any of this.

Thank you,

Mandie

    It seems that you already had done a thorough cleaning, I mean deep cleaning and repair any gaps/holes...It seems that the curtains are heavy, maybe take them down and eventually replace them with very simple panels...bed cover and cushions need to be redone/recovered...If you cannot glue back the peeling on vinyl, replace it....We had one t.t. like yours way back in time

    When I remodeled our 1979 camper. I was able to reuse the old rods. I purchased two cloth shower curtains, cut to measure, hemmed and hung. I took the old fabric off all the seats, the foam was in good shape to I got lucky. I purchased 4 blackout curtains that coordinate in color. Made my patterns from old seat covers and sewed the new ones. Because the curtains are washable I can clean them with warm soapy water if soiled. Project cost $80 plus your time.

      Thank you! Ours is just like the middle one. I wish we had a slide out table section, but instead we have a shower & a toilet. Lol those remodels are amazing!

    It has been 100+* Here in Northern California, plus all the wildland fires going on, so I havent got to do any remodeling yet.

    However, we have taken it on its first trip to the coast to escape the heat & smoke. We froze, but then found a brand new space heater at the Humane Society thrift store for $5! And we are investing in some bunk covers. But overall, I'm in love with this trailer! Easy to tow, fairly easy to set up and take down.

    I'm ready for it to cool down, so I can get to work! Lol

    Thank you everyone for your amazing help!

    remember the weight capacity- don't overload the trailer. if you feel that the camper is is giving you a rough ride adjust the load more to the front of the trailer.
