    Restoring a 90s Eura Mobil camper that has water damage inside. will have to renew a lot of the roof and some of the side wall.
    currently there's thin ply with a textured finish. does anyone know if this is available anywhere. doesn't have to be an exact match or anything.
    I looked on caravan parts sites and they seem to use vinyl paper backed wallpaper.

    Thanks. where the skoda dealer was?
    I'm probably looking for new stuff as I'm putting new ply up - but he might come in handy as there's a window needed too.

    ideally I'm after something on a roll.

    I done similar repairs to my camper last year, I used 4mm ply and wallpapered the entire camper afterwards, came out good

    Just regular wallpaper? I'm afraid it would bubble or peel, would there be special wallpaper paste you'd use?

    It's called vohringer board cosy campers have it also I believe vanderlust had it on their site. I'm sure pat horans or donagheys would be able to supply too.

    You can see a selection of the colours here might find a match:

    Not too sure about skoda
    but it's directly opposite johnnos
    about a mile from Ennis on the
    Quin rd.

    I did some work on a previous caravan with Grosfillex. Ideal for shower rooms or as kitchen splashback. Easy to work with.

    They are on the Ballysimon Road in Limerick. Haven't been in there in a long while but they should be able to advise.

    Most builders merchants have it or a clone now, just ask for PVC bathroom cladding / panelling. Saw it in B&Q on sunday.

    I was thinking of using Foam PVC - Palight sheets. 2mm thick. You can heat it and mold it around corners. very easy to work with. fire retardant and easy to clean. company in west dublin called magco sell it.

    Is that similar to this stuff? http://shop.enviroclad.com/all-panels.html

    It comes in planks and locks together.
