"New" 2003 Class A renovated
A little late posting, but we purchased a used Coachman last May and started renovating. In August we took her from AZ to NC for our son's wedding, then down to FL before heading back to AZ.
We had so much fun and hubby says he absolutely loves driving it!! I actually followed him in our vehicle (I was the nervous wreck every time an 18 wheeler swooshed by!!  ) We are researching into towing a vehicle.
I'm attaching 2 "before" photos and then 2 "after" photos of our changes!

What was the paint brand and type you used on cabinets and walls?
My DW has been wanting to paint our kitchen cabinets, but I've been leery it wouldn't stick. The job y'all did looks great.

Thanks!
Only the doors themselves are wood. Most of the face frames are a laminate, and some of the edging was a plastic material. So we first cleaned everything. I removed the doors. Then I painted everything with Gripper. That allowed the paint to adhere to the plastic-ey edging and face frames that may have been a problem otherwise. I think the Gripper paint was the key!
We used Behr Scuff Defense paint (of our chosen gray color) on top of the Gripper.

Gripper paint. Nice!
My wife wanted to redo our cabinets. This paint may be the ticket. Thanks.
