How to Take Great RV Photos

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then renting your RV should be a snap with the right mood shots, right? Many RV owners have found it’s often easier said than done. Following these six basic tips can help everyone take great RV photos.

1.Scrub Your Rig Down, Inside and Out

  • Clean your RV before you take any pictures for potential renters.
  • Don’t leave shoes, trash cans or clutter out to remind renters that your equipment has been used before.
  • Watch out for brightly colored or white background items that can cause photo glare.
  • Simple decoration and composition are best for these photos.

2. Focus on the RV

6 tips for photos

  • Potentially interested parties are looking for a camper for their needs. Bypass the great family shots, refrigerator art, or Junior’s soccer cleats and focus on the RV qualities themselves.
  • Don’t take wide or confusing focal shots that show off your artistic flare more than the RV itself.
  • Remember to take shots of the generator, hitches, controls, or any unusual qualities your camper includes.

3. Take Actual Camping Pictures
