You’ve seen these RV renovation influencers and all their drama. Like their HG channel counterparts, they do all these things at the last minute while counting down days — and all while having the gall to pretend to have no idea how to complete projects on time. Yet somehow end up doing exactly that. And we can’t help watching. Because they have the skills, and they get the results.
Truth is, these creators — can we coin the term “renovenfluencers” (eh … let’s workshop it) — are onto something very real. Because renovating your RV really does involve a lot of drama. The effort. The money. The complications. And if you’re a full-timer, time out of your RV really is a countdown. So, any advice (or video) you can get on how to take make your dream RV reno happen and happen quickly is super valuable.
Whether you’re dreaming of a new reno project or just game-planning how to get it done, here are five RV renovation influencers to follow. So their skills will become your skills. And you can get that stunning renovation result — on time.
The Flippin’ Tilbys
Making the Old New
The Flippin’ Tilbys have made a name for themselves among RV renovation influencers through their incredible projects. Like many “renovancers” (meh … that maybe sounds a little too Dungeons-and-Dragons), they left behind the conventional 9-to-5 to embark on a full-time RV living adventure several years ago, but what sets them apart is their ability to transform old, outdated RVs into modern, stylish, and functional spaces. Their videos are well-produced, and Olivia especially shines on camera, with confident and clear delivery. They focus on creating practical, yet aesthetically pleasing interiors that meet the needs of full-time RVers.
The Flippin’ Tilbys document every step of their renovation projects on social media. That includes long-form compilations on YouTube which offer followers detailed insights into the challenges and triumphs of RV renovation. They are particularly known for their use of reclaimed materials and innovative design solutions. Both make their renovations both eco-friendly and unique. Their Instagram feed is filled with before-and-after photos, DIY tips, and inspiration for anyone looking to renovate their own RV.
One thing you won’t find much of is detailed how-tos, as their editing style tends more toward the old-school reality TV style of “we only have X days to do Y.” But their renos have a distinctively high quality to them. With plenty of custom touches, of course.
Mountain Modern Life
Bringing the Outdoors In
Katie and Eric of Mountain Modern Life have become prominent RV renovation influencers, particularly for those who appreciate rustic, cozy, and nature-inspired interiors. Their passion for high-end design shines through, as their renos deliver stunning, cabin-like interiors that scream Magnolia Home mixed with Restoration Hardware.
Mountain Modern Life is all about bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside. Their renovations feature natural materials, earthy tones, and thoughtful layouts that maximize space and comfort. Katie and Eric deliver an enormous amount of attention to detail, like the copious amounts of twinkly lighting in their most recent Christmas spread. They share their projects on social media, providing step-by-step guides, DIY tutorials, and plenty of inspiration for those looking to remodel their own RVs.
They recently acquired their own mini-RVer, so you’ll find plenty of newborn baby pics mixed into their mountainy feed. But the little one is right at home amongst the high-end mountainy trappings of this beautiful couple’s journey.
Fifth Wheel Living
Modernizing Trailer Life
Kirsten and Devin, the dynamic, Nashville-based duo behind Fifth Wheel Living, have a TikTok-friendly style. Kirs narrates most videos with husband Devin featuring prominently. What started as a practical decision to live more affordably has turned into a passion for transforming fifth wheels into stylish, comfortable homes on wheels.
Kirs and Devin have a slightly more lifestyle-heavy feed than some “reno-influencers” (hmm … this does seem easier to say). But you can tag along as they explore RV spaces that are both functional and beautiful, often incorporating modern design elements that make their fifth wheel feel more like a home than a vehicle.
Their reno work has been praised for its creativity and attention to detail. And they’ve built a loyal following of fans who appreciate their design expertise and adventurous spirit. Kirs and Devin’s story is a testament to the possibilities of RV living and the joy of creating a home on the road.
All About RVs
Teaching Us How to Customize Our RVs
Matt, the face behind All About RVs, has become a go-to expert in the RV renovation community on YouTube. Over the years, Matt and his wife have not only embraced the RV lifestyle but also mastered the art of renovating and customizing RVs to suit the needs of modern travelers.
All About RVs is known for its practical approach to RV renovation. Matt focuses on creating functional spaces that enhance the RV living experience. Their renovations often include upgrades that improve the comfort, safety, and efficiency of the RV. Examples include installing solar panels, upgrading insulation, and modernizing interiors. They offer more detailed tutorials and product reviews than many reno channels, serving as a great resource for viewers who are new to RVs and looking to improve their technical knowledge.
Fallen Into Camping
Getting Into the Dirtiest Details
Heather Fallen is the face of this brand, which has a huge YouTube following based on her DIY-focused videos. This channel is more centered around projects, upgrades, and how-tos than some of the lifestyle-focused channels, delivering technical advice on everything from ripping out floors to evaluating used RVs for common mechanical problems.
Heather gets down and dirty in her projects, fully hands-on as she delivers tips and tricks for some of the dirtier jobs in renovations. Tips videos are the go-to, with heavy emphasis on avoiding common errors and making sure you get things right the first time.
