Painting or staining RV cabinets is a great way to renovate your interior and update the look of your coach. Before you start you should do some research and make sure that you get the right paint or stain for the wood that you have. Making sure that the surface is prepped correctly before you begin painting can save you a lot of time and frustration in the future.
When it comes to staining there is a good chance that you will have to sand the surface of your cabinets before you begin, otherwise the stain may not be fully absorbed by the wood. If your stain isn’t absorbed into the wood properly the final color tone may not be what you expected. Also if there is a sealant on the wood before you begin then overtime the new stain that you apply may rub off and ruin all the time and effort you put in.
Installing New Cabinets
Even though RV cabinetry may seem really similar to normal kitchen cabinets they are in fact very different. RV cabinets have to be able to withstand lots of weight and vibration at the same time. Otherwise the next time you hit a bump in the road the whole kitchen would fall apart. In order to make cabinets more sturdy there are a lot of extra components that need to be installed.
If you are wanting to install new cabinets in your RV it is best to consult professionals about doing the work for you.

Benefits of New Cabinets
One of the main benefits that most people see with updating their cabinets is that they are usually able to increase their storage space. A lot of older RV cabinets are designed to house big heavy TVs and by replacing them with cabinets designed for newer flat screen TVs you can create a lot of extra room.
Another benefit, however subjective it may be, is that new cabinets can really make the interior of your vehicle look amazing! You can finally have the mobile kitchen that you’ve always dreamed of in your Motorhome.
