  • From Cast to Comfort:
    AYO Houseboat Remodel

    Coachcraft by MacDonald specializes in detailed maintenance and innovative repair projects. In our renovation of a 1975 Steury Houseboat, we meticulously installed custom kitchen cabinets and a state-of-the-art 15k A/C system to ensure year-round comfort.  We installed new radios, fish finders,  a custom dashboard design, and tables that can either be swiveled for mealtime or removed for sleeping. 

  • Glow on the Go: Mobile Facial Salon

    At Coachcraft by MacDonald, we take pride in every project we undertake. We transformed an Class C by stripping its interior and crafting custom cabinets throughout. We designed a new divider to enhance the layout and relocated electrical systems, providing functionality and style. Our innovative addition of two fresh water tanks allows for 100 gallons of capacity, ensuring our customers have everything they need for their mobile facial salon. 

    This build includes exquisite new flooring, plush velvet ceilings, and eye-catching wall art created by Gilberts Welding Supply. The LED lighting perfectly accents the ceiling panels and product shelves, creating an inviting atmosphere. The exterior wrap was printed by Goodies Graphics (in Bath, NY) and installed by That's a Wrap (in Columbus, GA).

  • Rolling Retro: Boogie Van Overhaul

    At Coachcraft by MacDonald, we pride ourselves on transforming RVs into dream getaways. One of our favorite recent projects involved a creative blend of luxurious upgrades. Picture a police-style pillar-mounted spotlight, a custom wood dash cluster, and sleek thermostat control covers. We also installed a top-of-the-line Kenwood stereo (with Android Audio & Apple CarPlay) and a cutting-edge 360-degree camera system. The interior was reimagined in vibrant red shag with plush button-tuck fabric, all while incorporating a paint-matched rear roof spoiler and roof-mounted A/C. 

  • BBQ on the Go

    Coachcraft by MacDonald is dedicated to transforming your RV into the ultimate travel companion. One of our latest projects involved installing a Hydra-Lift for a customer, enabling them to transport multiple BBQ smokers effortlessly. Our skilled team ensured the rear frame's reinforcement and precise spacing for seamless lift functionality. Check out our portfolio to discover the innovative modifications we can make to elevate your RV experience.

    Ride Side-by-Side With Me

    This was a heavier Hydra-Lift install to accommodate a side by side behind a new Newmar Dutch Star. The frame had to be reinforced and the rear cap needed to be trimmed to make room for the lift mechanism - it is a very rugged lift that requires frame welding to be installed

  • Rolling Retreat: Bunk and Bath Refresh

    Coachcraft by MacDonald recently took on an exciting project involving a complete flooring renovation and bathroom remodel for a Prevost Coach. With the subfloor exposed, we revitalized the space by gutting the outdated bathroom and installing a modern shower with a waterfall shower head. The addition of a radius cabinet next to the shower not only maximizes space but also adds a touch of elegance.  We upgraded this coach with brand new ceiling tiles, upgraded LED lighting, and stunning barn board laminate flooring. 

  • From Leaks to Luxe

    With years of experience, Coachcraft by MacDonald excels in maintenance and repair. In this plumbing project, we addressed severe plumbing damage, revealing rotted flooring that needed complete replacement. We didn’t just stop there; every aspect was expertly sealed against mold, and new flooring was installed throughout the coach. We also custom-carpeted the doghouse and wire chases for precision and style. 

  • From Slide Malfunctions to Sweet Dreams
