RV Custom Interior Design

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Creating a custom interior look for your RV is a great way to turn your existing coach into the RV of your dreams. While many people are easily intimidated by a project of this size, with the help of the expert staff here at RV Renovators we’ll make the process easy and pain free.

Since an RV is composed of the same basic elements as a house, just on a smaller scale, you take home interior design principles and apply them to RVs. When it comes time to make changes to your RV and create a custom look there are 3 major areas of focus:

1. Flooring- Floors are an important component of a successful interior design. Not only do they drastically affect the look of the RV, but they can improve functionality. A good carpet will be easier to clean, and will be better at hiding dirt. As well, you can install hardwood or tile floors to add an elegant custom look and feel.

2. Cabinetry- The cabinetry in older RVs tends to be very out of date. Being so old, they are usually designed to house older model television sets that are big and heavy. These TVs take up valuable storage space. By remodeling your cabinets to fit new flat screen TVs you can increase your storage space and give your coach a face lift.

3. Furniture- Just like cabinets, if your furniture is outdated you may be wasting space and giving up practicality. By installing new furniture you can give your coach a personal touch that meets your needs and fits your style. With thousands of different furniture pieces possibilities are endless.

RV Renovators has over 35 years experience renovating and remodeling RVs to meet our clients needs. We treat you your RV as if it were are own!

Diesel Motorhomes Mesa, AZ

Friday, May 13th, 2011

Diesel motorhomes are great for a lot of reasons. Diesel engines provide an incredible amount of torque that makes it easier to get up long mountain roads, tow extra weight, or even pass someone on the highway. Most diesel engines are designed to only reach a very low rev-limit.

Most factories will install turbochargers on diesel engines to improve the power output. They do this because as mentioned above, the diesel engine cannot rev very high. Since power is measured as the ability to do work over time, the diesel engine has a very short amount of time to do any work before it needs to shift to the next gear. By adding a turbocharger you can increase the amount of power that it makes in the short amount of time. Turbochargers are known for making big power and torque gains with the right vehicle application.

Downsides to a Turbocharger:

Do to the way turbochargers function off of exhaust pressure, they can get extremely hot by nature. This added heat in your engine bay can be hard on the engine if it is not properly cooled. It is important to make sure that the oil is changed regularly to ensure that all moving parts are lubricated.

RV Renovators can perform a full inspection of your diesel motorhome to make sure that everything is in good shape. Before you go on a long trip it’s vital that you inspect the engine, tires, leveling system, heating and cooling units, and many other components.

State of the Art Service Center:

Here at RV Renovators we are very proud of our state of the art service center. We have over 35 years experience servicing and renovating RVs. We treat every coach as if it were are own and we’re confident that you’ll be 100% satisfied with the work we do.

If you need to have your diesel motorhome inspected for a big trip, give us a call at (480) 818-5904

Checking for Tire Wear on your RV

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

Before heading out and hitting the road it’s important to check the tires on your RV to make sure that there is no unnatural wear and tear. Making sure that your tires are inflated to the right pressure has a been impact on your gas mileage, the life of your tear, and ultimately your safety.

With a thorough inspection of your entire RV and especially the tires you can better avoid having a blowout while driving. When tires wear unevenly they have a greater potential to blowout because of the added stress on a single area. With the sheer weight of the RV constantly landing on one area of the tire it is easy to understand how a blowout is not only likely, but potentially dangerous, if tires aren’t properly maintained.

Making Sure all Systems Work:

There are several working components that make up your RV. In order to avoid problems while on the road it’s important to inspect everything before you leave. You’ll want to make sure that the windshield wipers, water heater, toilet, generator oil change, leveling system, roof components and much more operate properly.

RV Renovators offers full service inspections to help you feel confident that your next trip will safe and successful. Our number one goal is your safety! We have over 35 years experience servicing RVs and you can trust that we’ll treat your coach as if it were our own.
