caravan panelling replacement

Have you contacted Coromal?

I replaced some on our old 78 Franklin Arrow,i found panelling very close to the original that only side by side and looking closely that you could see it was different.That was bought from Plywood distributors in Melbourne.If i was asked would i do it again-NO, not on the back curved panelling anyway.

Camec sell sheeting for both in and outside.

Perhaps a visit to a caravan repairer is in order cos it isnt a simple job.

At least they would give you some idea as to how to go about it.

The manufacturers dont get them perfect either.

Not sure where you are but Barnes caravans at Lansvale Sydney have different colours etc in stock for sale. Not sure if its same as yours. May be worth google to get number and call them as they do plenty of repairs so should offer reasonable/good advice

I relined a Jayco Finch internally about 4 years ago. I decided to buy a newer colour finish panel similar to the colours found in the newer vans and it came up a million bucks. I used 2 glues - Weldbond (in red bottles) and also Selleys All Fix (in gold coloured cartridge gun type tubes). They stuck real well so allowed for minimum nailing - so you can use 'secret nailing' where possible. Dont skimp out when buying the glues if you want a good job. You can buy both glues and also some ply panels and also some of the PVC joiners coloured to suit ply at Bunnings stores. I am guessing you may have some joiners used at corners and between sheets in your model van?? You can glue directly on top of old ply panelling where needed. I ended up getting all stuff I needed at Bunnings as it was cheaper overall than elsewhere.

Re-doing all the interior gives you an opportunity to change layout to suit your family and modernise it too. Great to stand back and enjoy your hard work when its completed. I ended up selling it and upsizing later on and my work paid off really well - I doubled what I paid for it when I sold it, so you that helped me get into a newer larger one....

replacing all internal paneling is like rebuilding the van. Suggest you see a caravan repairer for advice and information. If you take the van to a repairer they know the brand and the possibility of replacing it. If the paneling is still sound a good quality vinyl finish wall paper job would save you a lot of pain and expense. Painting can get a professional looking finish that you would not realise is painted when finished. Replacing internal paneling would be a last considered job. For example if the panel is one internal back panel near the floor is not to big an issue for EXPERIENCED repairer. Can you post a couple of pics of the damage?
