Freshen Up your RV Decor with Painted Cabinets
Whether you are adding a pop of color or brightening your space, painting your cabinets can be a cheap way to transform your RV decor. However, you need to do it the proper way to ensure a high-quality paint job that will look good for years to come. First, remove the cabinets and drawers. This makes them much easier to paint. Next, de-gloss the shine using a chemical treatment, such as TSP. Follow up with some rubbing alcohol to remove any accumulated grease. Next, research the proper paint for the type of cabinetry you have, as different paints apply better to various surfaces. After a good cleaning, begin rolling on the paint in nice, even strokes. Let the first coat dry before reapplying. Finally, let the cabinets rest a couple of days to allow the paint to fully dry. Then, you’ll be ready to reinstall your cabinetry and admire the updated look.

With Two Patios, the Road Warrior 4275 Has All the Space You Need
Heartland RV’s Road Warrior 4275 Toy Hauler is a true showstopper. Imagine pulling up to your campsite and extending your living space into the great outdoors, thanks to the rear and side patios. Drop the garage door and unload the bikes, kayaks, and other toys you have stored inside. When it’s time for meals, the kids can flip out the swivel seats at the breakfast bar, while the adults sit at the nearby dining table. A massive five-seater couch makes it easy for the family to gather in front of the flat-screen television, with an electric fire blazing below on those cool nights. At bedtime, the kids will enjoy having the garage space transformed into a huge bunk room, while parents head to their private bedroom at the front of the trailer.

Rock the Day Away at the Campground with this Camp Chair
While it may be hard to improve upon something as simple as the camp rocking chair, GCI takes the rocking chair into the future with its patented spring-action technology. Traditional rockers can tip on unlevel ground, so the GCI Freestyle offers more stability by keeping the leg supports flat on the ground and using a spring mechanism to create a smooth rocking motion. The chair folds easy for transportation and comes with a built-in beverage holder. Padded armrests and a mesh back add to the comfort.
