The Short Answer

This old camper remodel shows how Stikwood can bring warmth and a natural rustic feel into a small mobile space. By pairing a bright white interior with reclaimed wood texture, the remodel turned a dated trailer into a modern, functional extension of home.

Classic travel trailers have a way of bringing back a sense of nostalgia, from clever space-saving layouts to the charm of a well-loved interior. While those vintage designs hold their own appeal, they look very different from what’s possible today. Kevin Turner’s old camper remodel is a perfect example of how a dated trailer can be completely transformed into something modern, functional, and truly impressive.

That way it would give the whole space an open and airy feel. However, with it being a camper, he also wanted to make sure it had that natural rustic feel of the outdoors.

That’s when he came across Stikwood! Our Reclaimed Weathered Wood White wood planks are super lightweight, which was important in the old camper remodel. He said, “Stikwood was one of the last things I did on the remodel. The DIY wood plank wall really tied the space together, but it also gave the the feel of a seperate room in a very small space. We just can’t get enough, we even sit in it in our driveway and watch TV.”

Kevin is especially excited to take the finished trailer on his upcoming trips. When asked about his favorite way to enjoy the outdoors, he shared, “Getting up before sunrise, making a pot of pour-over coffee, and sitting quietly with nature as the sun comes up.”
