OUR MISSION
Do It Yourself RV aims to offer DIY projects, mods, and improvements for beginners and experienced RVers. We pride ourselves as a resource for well-researched content written by real RVers and RV industry experts.
ABOUT
Do It Yourself RV was started in 2013 by a group of RV enthusiasts. Their goal was to share the best the internet offered about ideas, products, and guides on making the most of your RV, Camper, Travel Trailer, Fifth Wheel, and Motorhome. The site’s original about page stated, “We have contributors from all walks of life…We all have one thing in common…a passion for RVing.”
After years of RVers relying on the site to get their latest DIY RV info, the site was sold in 2016. Today, under the banner of the RV LIFE network, Do It Yourself RV continues to “offer ideas that a beginner can tackle while still offering something that the most technical of RVers can implement.”
As our reader base has grown to seek a wider array of subjects, we have included other topics related to RVing, and today publish articles in many different categories, such as:
- Camping Tips
- DIY Projects
- Full-Time RVing
- Gear Reviews
- RV Guides
- RV Lifestyle
- RV Mods
- RV Maintenance Tips
- And More!
A PART OF THE SOCIAL KNOWLEDGE NETWORK
Do It Yourself RV is proud to be one of the 30 RV, van, and travel trailer communities within the Social Knowledge network of sites. Social Knowledge has provided sites and forums that cover all aspects of RV life by helping guide consumers to find their first RVs, sharing the latest RV news, giving tips on how to maintain RVs, and even guiding RVers to finding the perfect camping destination.
