A lot of people like to keep their motorhomes and campervan in pristine and exactly how they bought them. Some, however, revel in the freedom to create that having a slightly unusual vehicle can bring. There is nothing more eye catching than an enormous motorhome, decorated in an unusual way. I’ve been looking around for various ways people have modified their motorhomes and campervan.

This van has a brilliant surfy feel to it. This is a good example of the more mainstream modifications that a paint shop will be able to do for you. There’s nothing controversial, but the pattern is nice and it’ll help you find it in a campsite!

By contrast, this vehicle has a very home made and quite military feel. This is the kind of makeover you could easily do yourself in a weekend.

The rest of our images, however, clearly represent labours of love – many hours of painstaking decoration. The first motorhome has a heavy metal vibe to it, and the second is a converted school bus with hippy type imagery.

I’m always tempted by vehicle modifications, because I like to have something unique, but I’m nervous that it might not turn out exactly how I planned and what a big commitment it is – it’s not easy to get he vehicle back to it’s original state when you’ve painted it!

As always, when planning modifications to your motorhome or campervan be sure to contact your insurer and inform them, and ensure you understand how your motorhome insurance policy will be affected.
