Keep your RVs walls looking good and clean with new paneling.
Moisture, mildew and dry rot are all contributing factors to the erosion of RV wall paneling. When the RV wall panels are damaged or rotten and ready to go, replace the paneling yourself to save money. Replacing old panels in the RV requires cutting the replacement panels to the proper size and hanging. In addition, you must check that the insulation behind the panel is in proper shape. If not, replace the insulation along with the paneling.
Instructions
1. Pry off the old RV wall paneling using the pry tool or the flathead screwdriver. Gently pull the paneling off the wall and remove from the RV.
2. Inspect the insulation to see if it is eroded or saturated with mildew or mold. If so, pull it out and ready the wall for new insulation.
3. Measure the size of the panel to be replaced and cut it out from the with the power saw. Cut down the insulation panels or rolls and stuff into the RV walls. If the studs for the RV cabin walls are hidden behind another panel or barrier, use the stud finder to locate studs to tack the replacement panels to.
4. Ask a helper to hold the panel over the RV wall to tack into position. Drill small wood screws into the four corners of the panelling to attach to the wall. Pay attention to lining up the seams of the remaining panels.
5. Wipe away any excess dust, wood chips or insulation after hanging the new paneling.
