If you are considering upgrading to a new caravan, have you thought about modernising your current one instead? There are lots of great options available to transform your caravan and save the huge outlay of paying for a new caravan. Here are some ideas for you to consider:

Re-upholster

If your upholstery has started to look tired, re-upholstering will give your caravan a whole new lease of life. There are plenty of companies who will expertly reupholster your caravan, giving you a huge selection of options for fabrics to suit your taste. If your fabric is still in good condition, you can just have your cushions refilled to restore the comfort to your seating. You can usually get a tourer caravan reupholstered for less than £1,000 but it will depend on the materials and sizes of your soft furnishings.

Alternatively, you could completely replace your seating with new furniture if you have a bit more to spend. Any of these options will be considerably cheaper than replacing your caravan.

New flooring

Replacing your existing flooring with more modern options is another way to give your caravan an overhaul. You could re-carpet living areas and put some new vinyl or laminate flooring down in the kitchen and bathroom to give the place a whole new look. If your carpets are in good condition, you might just want to hire a carpet cleaner for a deep clean that will make it look like new again.

Carpets can often get damp in caravans or get muddy when people enter, so you might want to replace carpets with a material that is easy to clean and more suited for caravan life. If you want to make vinyl or laminate flooring cosier, you can simply add a big rug.

Update your kitchen

You do not have to replace your kitchen appliances or cupboards to update your kitchen, you can give it a fresh look in other ways. For example, you could paint cupboard doors or replace the doors with a more modern style of door. Adding some new tiles and a new splashback will also rejuvenate a dated caravan kitchen.

Replacing appliances like a microwave, kettle, and toaster won’t break the bank but if you buy stylish designs that stand out, the new appliances will instantly make your kitchen feel more modern.

Get an Eberspacher heater

Modernising your caravan is not just about upgrading the appearance, you can also use modern technology solutions to make your home away from home feel more homely. An Eberspacher heater is the ideal addition, especially if you like to get away throughout the year and not just in the warmest months.

An Eberspacher heater can instantly heat your room and makes no noise. Another great feature is that you can connect it to your smartphone and use an app to control the temperature, so you could set it to come on just as you arrive back from a day out to get warmed up quickly.
