The very idea of a motorhome is centered around freedom and individuality. Motorhomes afford the ability to take to the open road and head in whichever direction you choose. Not to mention that a motorhome vacation can be tailored to your own unique interests without having to cow tow to any group other than the people you choose to take with you. So it's not surprising that the self expression and actualization that a motorhome provides would extend to how one of these vehicles is decorated. Some motorhome owners like to put their own unique stamp on their vehicles, like these artfully designed versions found on LifeSure blog:
Modifications like custom paint jobs can be used to express identity, loves and even corporate branding. In many of these cases the motorhomes are being used like canvas, as utilitarian art, instead of just being treated like machines meant to transport people from Point A to Point B.
The motorhome above was abandoned and rusting on the streets of Buenos Aries when it was found by artist Louis D'Anjou. As shown on the Buenos Aries Perception blog, the artist used his trademark faces and lively colours to bring the motorhome back to vivid life.
Vehicle meets, where owners of many different types of cars gather, always bring out some uniquely designed machines. The VW campervans above and below, as shown on Car Styling, stand out from the rest and certainly say something about their owners.
Web 420 compiled a selection of brightly hued and creative campervans to show on their site. While some are personally done others are clearly the work of professionals. If you are interested in painting and modifying your motorhome yourself make sure to check out exactly what type of paint is best for your vehicle and the drying time required.

Clearly a music lover
A variation of the Flower Power camper above this motorhome goes beyond just unique. With flowers sprouting from the sides one wonders if you would have to stop for water as well as gas.

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
