A new Class A motorhome costs $150,000 to $500,000. A full RV restoration — mechanicals, interior, roof, and all — typically runs a fraction of that. If you already own a motorhome or travel trailer that has good bones, the math is hard to argue with.
At Texoma Classics in Sherman, TX, we bring the same craftsmanship we apply to classic cars and Airstream trailers to RV restoration across all classes and types. Whether you drive a Class A diesel pusher, a Class C weekend cruiser, or tow a travel trailer to Lake Texoma every summer, we handle complete renovations and targeted repairs for recreational vehicles throughout North Texas and the Texoma region.
Why Restore Instead of Replace
The average RV depreciates fast, but its core structure — the frame, the drivetrain, the shell — can last decades with proper care. What wears out is everything else: the roof membrane, the plumbing, the dated interior, the appliances. Replacing those systems costs a fraction of what a new RV would, and you end up with a vehicle built to your preferences rather than a factory floor plan designed for mass appeal.
Here is the reality most RV owners already know: every month a leak or water damage issue goes unaddressed, the repair bill grows. A small roof breach that costs a few thousand dollars to fix today becomes a rotted subfloor, delaminated walls, and mold remediation job six months from now. If your RV has an active leak or visible water damage, that is the single most urgent thing to address — and the one repair where waiting costs you the most.
What We Restore
Class A Motorhomes
Full-size Class A coaches are serious investments, and their restoration scope matches. We handle roof replacement, interior remodels, dash and cockpit upgrades, generator service, and structural repairs. Many Class A owners are full-timers or extended travelers — people who live in their coach for months at a time. For you, this is not a recreational vehicle. It is your home, and the quality of the renovation directly affects your daily life. We build interiors with that in mind: durable materials, functional layouts, and finishes that hold up to real use.
Class C Motorhomes
Class C coaches are the workhorses of the RV world. They are accessible enough for families and versatile enough for long-haul travel, but the cab-over designs and compact layouts present their own restoration challenges. We address the common Class C issues — overcab leaks, aging slide-out seals, cramped interiors that benefit from a layout rethink — and we can modernize the mechanicals to keep your coach reliable for years to come.
Travel Trailers
Travel trailers range from compact teardrop units to 35-foot fifth wheels, and they all share a common vulnerability: they sit. They sit in driveways, storage lots, and RV parks, absorbing UV, rain, hail, and Texas heat. Roof replacement, floor rot repair, window and seal replacement, and interior remodels are the most common jobs we see on travel trailers. If you bought a used trailer at a good price knowing it needed work, we can help you turn it into exactly the trailer you want — your layout, your finishes, your upgrades.
Common RV Restoration Projects
Roof Replacement and Water Damage Repair
Roof failure is the number one cause of catastrophic RV damage. We strip and replace EPDM, TPO, and fiberglass roof systems, repair or replace the underlying decking, and address any water damage that has spread into walls or flooring. If you have soft spots in your floor, staining on your ceiling, or a musty smell you cannot locate, water damage is the likely culprit — and the repair you should not delay.
Interior Remodels and Custom Upgrades
Dated oak cabinets, worn carpet, and cracked countertops do not have to define your RV. We gut and rebuild interiors with modern materials, updated color palettes, and layouts redesigned around how you actually use the space. Full-timers often want residential-quality finishes: solid surface countertops, real tile backsplashes, and premium upholstery. Weekend warriors may prioritize storage and easy-clean surfaces. We tailor the remodel to your use case.
Solar Installations and Electrical Upgrades
Boondocking and off-grid camping are more popular than ever, and a proper solar panel installation transforms what your RV can do. We design and install solar systems sized to your power needs, upgrade battery banks to lithium, and add inverters so you can run residential appliances without a generator running. This is one of the highest-value upgrades you can add to any RV, and it pays for itself in saved campground fees and generator fuel.
Mechanical and Drivetrain Service
Motorhome restoration is not just cosmetic. We service engines, transmissions, suspension, and braking systems to make sure your coach is as sound underneath as it looks inside. For older motorhomes that have been sitting, a thorough mechanical inspection and service is the first step before any cosmetic work begins.
How Much Does an RV Renovation Cost
Cost depends on scope, and that is where we start every project — with an honest assessment of what your RV needs, what you want, and what makes financial sense. We break projects into clear tiers so you can decide how far to take it:
- Targeted repairs (roof replacement, water damage, specific system fixes) — address the urgent issues and get back on the road.
- Interior remodel (cabinets, flooring, countertops, upholstery, paint) — transform the living space while keeping the mechanical and structural systems as-is.
- Complete restoration (structural, mechanical, interior, exterior, systems) — a full overhaul that results in a like-new RV customized to your specifications.
We lay out the costs for each tier up front so you can make an informed decision. No surprises, no scope creep without your approval.
Be Road-Ready by Next Season
RV restoration is seasonal work in North Texas. Most owners want their coach or trailer ready by spring — which means the best time to start a project is fall or winter. If you wait until March, you are competing with every other RV owner who had the same idea, and your timeline stretches into summer.
Our shop at 124 Industrial Drive in Sherman is easy to reach from US-75 and serves RV owners from Denison, Whitesboro, Pottsboro, Bonham, Gainesville, and across the DFW metroplex. We regularly work with owners who tow or drive their RVs in from across North Texas and southern Oklahoma.
