I am remodeling a 1983 Wanderlodge. In need of white ceiling and wall materials. Where can I get a roll if it or several panels?? Also could use another light fixture over entry door that fits junction between wall and ceiling.

Thanx!

Melissa:
Unfortunately, I'm told that the original ceiling and wall (ribbed) vinyl is no longer available.

Fortunately, you can save the panels if the vinyl is in good condition by pulling the vinyl from the "masonite" backing, buy new masonite panels (from a lumber store), spray both vinyl and masonite panels with contact adhesive (such as 3M Super 77), and re-mount it.

My brother did this with great success on his '83 FC where his roof panels were damaged from a water leak.

Good luck.

Hi Jeff, do you have any idea if the white plastic strips
that cover up the butt seams on the walls and ceiling panels are still available?
I have a few that have seen their better days as I'm sure
most of us do.

Yes they are. I just bought about ten of them from Holland Motorhomes, they are about $6.35/ea. if I remember correctly, and I think that they come from BlueBird.
Several of mine were already replaced, it appears that they were simply broken (or cut) off at the overhead cabinets and walls, otherwise you would need to loosen and lower the cabinets a bit to get above them again. I suggest cutting or breaking them carefully as they are self-supporting anyway.

Buy spares. I had one leftover from my '77, in my basement for five years and still as pliable as new. Apparently the heat and sunlight in the motorhome ceiling are what make them yellow and brittle.

Remember that they clip on the OUTSIDE of the roof channel, and they install better warm than cold.

Forgot about the light.
The flourescent light is still available, I bought mine from Holland Motorhomes 616.396.1461.
I believe that other sources are listed on this site also, they're about $60/ea with bulb, bezel, and diffuser.
