Boho / Rustic Country Chic camper remodel on 2012 Mini Lite.
Renovating our pull behind camper was a great fall project. We needed more useable space and better arrangement for living and working in the camper for the summer season.
HOW to effectively paint those camper walls!

Kitchen After Remodel
Spray painted the kitchen cabinets an accent color with 2x Paint + Primer RUSTOLEUM – Claret Wine.
Installed a clear spice rack above the kitchen window.
Installed a GORGEOUS BUTCHER BLOCK for more useable level and easy to clean space over the stove.
Bathroom After Remodel
For added space we used baskets mounted on the wall under the sink countertop and above.
Using baskets as organizers in the closet for extra storage.
LIVING ROOM BEFORE REMODEL
LIVING ROOM AFTER REMODEL
Removed the couch and added a round chair with enough room for a dog bed on the side. We travel with our 2 pooches and they needed their own space as well!
What PAINT to use on CAMPER WALLS
So you want to paint camper walls? Good luck. Spending days trying different spray paints and roll on paints left us defeated. After several Pinterest and Google attempts we finally found the right combination for long lasting paint that actually STAYED ON THE WALLS.
To Paint camper walls;
FIRST use 1-2-3 Primer
THEN spray on Rust-Oleum Leak Seal.
This one two punch really worked and with all the wear and tear has held up surprisingly well!
We used this method on every camper wall and ALL cabinets.
For the kitchen cabinets we used the 1-2-3 primer and then RUSTOLEUM ULTRA COVER PAINT + PRIMER in an accent color.
Bedroom DURING Remodel
Built shelves under the bed
Built storage box with lid + hinges at head of the bed which is the full width of the bed space. This is where we store all extra bedding (sheets+comforters).
Storage under the bed and at the head of the bed. The two cabinets are his and her closets!
Kitchen During Remodel
Custom Picture and Map Table
We really wanted a special piece of furniture in the camper. Living on the river and hosting many parties, floating trips, and fun events results in A LOT of pictures and memories.
Downloading and printing the entire river system we mod podged onto a custom built table. The rounded end also has hinges and can be folded down when not needed!
From the map, I cut and placed pictures onto the table and overlapping with the map.
After doing so and getting all the pictures were I wanted them I think poured mod podge over the entire table of pictures and maps.
After the mod podge I used epoxy to make a clean clear and level finished coat.
Poured on the epoxy right over the mod podged pictures and used a HEAT GUN to remove all the bubbles that formed.
NOTE: Make sure your table is level and if you don’t mind drips on the underside of the wood, do not worry about masking off the edges. For us this edge was rounded and we won’t see the drips that harden.
Building the base for the table + installing angle hinges for the end of the table that folds down.
FINISHED CUSTOM EPOXY PICTURE TABLE
Chalkboard paint the FRIDGE!!!
Another thing we did was to finish off the interior with chalkboard painting the refrigerator. Easy to write grocery lists and fun for the kids to draw.
Extra tip:
We added shelves above the windows with a pull down blind! When not needed they fold up out of the way!
