Redecorating Your Rental RV

Step 8 Completed Art!

Your rental RV could be a super showcase for your personal playa art, plus it keeps most of the interior clean for when you have to return your vehicle.  There are friends that claim making your home "too nice" means one never leaves, and that's understandable as it takes overcoming much inertia to get out of the house into the dusty world, but nothing is more wonderful than having a beautiful home in which to return.  We encourage all burners, and other freeway travelers, to try to decorate your insides - why have a fantastic outside-playa time, but feel like you are living in a generic motel room at the end of the day?

Plus, if you don't do "something", it's really pretty incredibly sad and boring to visit you.  

P.S. one final tip:  Use plastic bins to place all your RV fabrics after cleaning each year, that way when the next burn (or trip) rolls around, just grab the few bins and be packed to go.

I love your ideas! I hope to make it back to the playa in 2012 in a well decorated (and protected) rv!

Thanks for the tips!!! I have been trying magnets to hold vibrant fabric in place and it does NOT work. I love the shower curtain rod and safety pin idea!!! Thanks so much, Mike C.

What fun it must have been to put everything in place (not so fun when it comes time to take it down I bet) - looks great!

Thanks! ...and it takes 1/8th the time to tear down as put up, just a few hours. Cleaning the RV takes the same amount of time (or less, since everything's covered), as if we did nothing for decor. Stuff goes - ceiling to bins to laundry to bins to wait a year to start again.
