Has anyone used wallpaper on the walls of their travel trailer? I have a 2012 29qbh that developed a leak the only thing that was damaged is the front wall I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MATCHING WALL PANELS AND HAVE COME TO BELIEVE THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I can get panels to replace it with but not to match my chances of getting something close are better with possible wall paper has anyone tried this?
There are surplus / salvage yards that might have matching panels.
If you go the wall paper route, apply the wallpaper prior to installation. You may find the water used to get the paper activated will cause the panel to warp or if it has any paper on it it may come loose or wrinkle under the new paper.
I would think the changes in heat and humidity that a TT goes through (particularly during storage and travel) would cause the paper to peel off the walls. I wouldn't recommend it. Jagiven's suggestion of painting the walls sounds like a better idea to me. Just be sure you wash and rinse the existing walls first - TSP (TriSodium Phosphate) works well to remove any dust/grease from the pours in the wallboard. Then use a good stain-covering primer, like "Killz" Latex to help the paint adhere to the vinyl wallboard. I've followed this procedure on the wallboard in several manufactured homes and had excellent results.

When replacing or repairing something RV or otherwise, it is often impossible to get a perfect match. Age of the original panel or tint differences make new stand out against old even if it is a direct replacement. A better solution might be to contrast with a darker solid color or something that looks like it belongs but doesn't try to match the original.
At this point I am going to try to get a board that matches the wardrobe cabinets This may be something that i can get threw Jayco This is my new path I will keep you posted The board that got damaged is the head board piece so after looking i see for 2017 that is how they are building them this year Keeping My fingers Crossed
