We needed a few things done on our Airstream 8 years after Rodney and American Airstream rebuilt our 1960 Tradewind Landyacht. Two weeks after we brought it in, it was finished! We needed maintenance with a new rubber roof, switched out our sink from a double to single, and a few other things. We even got a wash and wax due to the dust storms that had come through in the time we had it with Rodney. Thank you!!

More About Custom RV Woodworking & Cabinetry
The interior of your RV is your personal sanctuary on wheels, yet standard factory designs often fall short of truly optimizing space, reflecting individual style, or providing specialized storage solutions.
Custom woodworking and cabinetry offer the ultimate solution, transforming generic interiors into highly functional, aesthetically pleasing, and uniquely personalized living areas. This detailed craftsmanship allows for an unparalleled level of customization, ensuring every inch of your RV’s interior serves a purpose while enhancing its overall comfort and value.
Why Invest in Custom RV Cabinetry & Woodworking?
Opting for custom woodworking in your RV goes beyond mere aesthetics; it’s a strategic enhancement that fundamentally improves your travel experience.
Unrivaled Space Optimization:
- Unlike mass-produced units, custom cabinetry is precisely engineered to fit your RV’s unique dimensions, including awkward angles, curves, and often-wasted nooks.
- This meticulous design ensures every available cubic inch is utilized, maximizing storage capacity in a way factory solutions cannot.
- Think clever pull-out pantries, integrated trash bins, or hidden compartments that magically appear.
Personalized Functionality:
- Your RV, your rules. Custom work allows for the integration of features tailored exactly to your lifestyle.
- Need a dedicated desk for remote work? A specific cubby for pet supplies? Built-in shelving for a unique collection? We can design solutions that cater to your exact needs and habits.
- This leads to a more organized, efficient, and enjoyable living environment.
Elevated Aesthetics & Unique Style:
- Custom woodworking allows you to choose from a vast array of wood species, finishes, and hardware, creating an interior that truly reflects your personal taste.
- Whether you envision a sleek, modern look, a cozy rustic feel, or a classic vintage vibe, handcrafted elements add an undeniable touch of luxury and uniqueness that sets your RV apart.
Superior Durability & Longevity:
- Factory RV cabinetry is often lightweight and mass-produced, susceptible to wear and tear from road vibrations and temperature fluctuations.
- Our custom pieces are built using higher-grade materials and robust construction techniques specifically designed for the demanding RV environment.
- This ensures your custom cabinets and furniture not only look exceptional but also withstand the rigors of travel for years to come.
Our Custom Woodworking & Cabinetry Process
Creating bespoke interiors is a collaborative and precise journey, ensuring the final product perfectly aligns with your vision and your RV’s specifications.
In-Depth Consultation & Design:
- The process begins by truly understanding your lifestyle, storage needs, aesthetic preferences, and the specific challenges of your RV’s layout.
- We take precise measurements and create detailed design sketches or 3D renderings, allowing you to visualize the transformation before any cuts are made.
- Material selection is crucial here, balancing aesthetics, durability, and weight.
Expert Material Selection:
- We guide you through choosing the best materials for your project. Options include various hardwoods (like maple, cherry, oak), lightweight yet strong plywoods (such as Baltic Birch), and durable laminates designed for RV use.
- Considerations for moisture resistance, weight distribution, and vibration tolerance are paramount in our material recommendations.
Precision Fabrication:
- Once designs are finalized, our skilled craftsmen move to the fabrication stage in our workshop.
- Each piece of cabinetry and furniture is meticulously cut, assembled, and finished with precision. Our shop environment allows for controlled conditions, ensuring the highest quality construction.
- Joints are reinforced, and hardware is carefully chosen for secure, rattle-free operation during travel.
Seamless Integration & Installation:
- The completed custom pieces are transported to your RV for expert installation.
- Our technicians meticulously fit and secure each unit, ensuring it’s seamlessly integrated into your RV’s existing structure.
- Attention is paid to proper ventilation, access to existing systems, and maintaining the RV’s structural integrity.
Finishing Touches & Final Inspection:
- The final finishes are applied, whether it’s a rich stain, a durable paint, or a protective clear coat.
- Hardware (hinges, pulls, latches) is installed.
- The entire custom interior undergoes a thorough final inspection for functionality, aesthetics, and security, ensuring it meets both our rigorous standards and your complete satisfaction.
Understanding Costs & Value in Custom Woodworking
The cost of custom woodworking and cabinetry varies significantly, reflecting the complexity of the design, the type of materials chosen, and the sheer number of hours involved in meticulous handcrafting and installation. This is an investment that tailors your RV precisely to your needs.
Factors Influencing Cost:
- Design Complexity: Simple shelving vs. intricate, multi-functional units with hidden features.
- Material Selection: Hardwoods are typically more expensive than high-quality plywoods or laminates.
- Project Scope: A single custom cabinet versus a complete interior overhaul.
- Finishing Details: Specialized paints, custom stains, or high-end hardware.
- Labor Hours: The precision and artistry required for custom work.
While custom work represents a higher initial investment than off-the-shelf solutions, it offers unmatched durability, personalized functionality, and a significant boost to your RV’s comfort and resale value. It transforms your mobile space from generic to genuinely extraordinary, making every journey more enjoyable and efficient. Moreover, investing in custom work ensures that every inch of your RV is tailored to your specific needs, creating a space that reflects your lifestyle. As you explore the myriad possibilities, a services overview and benefits will illuminate the advantages of personalized modifications, guiding you to make informed choices that enhance your travel adventures. Ultimately, these bespoke upgrades not only elevate your experience but also make your RV a true reflection of your personality and aspirations.
