Accessories and Upgrades for Your Travel Trailer

Your travel trailer is great when it comes off the lot, but sometimes the best part of ownership is being able to customize and add accessories! There are many projects you can do to improve your travel trailer experience. Our team at MIG RV has put together a great list of ideas for updating your trailer. 

Interior Upgrades

There are a handful of fun interior projects you can complete to make your travel trailer feel more like home. 

1. Lighting

One of the quickest but most drastic ways to update the interior of your travel trailer is to change and add lighting. It’s most common to change all bulbs to LED ones to improve efficiency! LED lights also tend to be brighter, which is important in travel trailers. 

Along with replacing bulbs, you can also create additional lighting to liven up the space! You can add battery-operated puck lights to your cabinets and find battery-operated light bars to go underneath your cabinets and furniture. Adding these accessories will brighten the space and make it feel more luxurious. 

2. Digital Thermostat

Regulating the internal temperature is extremely important when you’re traveling in a travel trailer. The standard thermostat in your RV works fine, but you might notice it’s more difficult to know exactly what temperature it's set on due to the design. Trading your standard thermostat for a digital one can help you monitor and control the temperature more effectively.

3. Decorations

Decorating a travel trailer is definitely possible, but you have to be a little more crafty with your interior design. Especially if you travel often, or if your trailer will be in storage for some time, it’s important to choose items that are durable and lightweight. 

Some popular options include adding adhesive backsplash, hanging posters, and updating the trim. Just keep in mind how your decorations will handle travel and unregulated temperatures while the trailer isn’t being used. 

Exterior Upgrades 

There are also a few exterior upgrades you can complete to make your rig more enjoyable from a functional standpoint.

1. Upgrade the Suspension

The suspension system of your travel trailer plays a huge role in transportation. Of course the standard system works well, but an upgrade can give you a more enjoyable experience on the road. A few additional benefits of choosing to update the suspension include better towing, less wear on the tow vehicle, and increasing the overall weight capacity. 

2. Add Wheel Stabilizers

You can also opt to add wheel stabilizers for more comfort at the campsite. There are several varieties to choose from, so you can select an option that will be the most functional for you!
