Wall Board replacement

Good morning, does anyone have a source or direction for me to look to buy replacement wall board for a 2008 Cameo 35SB3?

Fran,

 

Please explain wallboard.

if you mean interior wallpapered panels, you are out of luck. Lowe’s and Home Depot have a limited selection of surface finishes that are somewhat close to the wallpaper in appearance and depth, but neither is very close.

I went with unfinished plywood.  Do not recall thickness but it exactly matched the oem wallboard plus wallpaper.  I carefully peeled back the wainscoting wallpaper level of wall covering and saved it.  Simply primed and painted the plywood with 2 coats of pure white (Eggshell is by far better, but if not available semi-gloss), and pasted the wainscoting paper back on over the paint after the paint dried for several days.  The white paint looks so much better than the tannish wallpaper, so I sanded most of the rest of the wallpaper, primed it, and gave it 2  coats of the same pure white.  The entire dinette area and full back wall.  Wish I continued throughout the whole camper but…. looks great.  I had previously  glued led strips along the top of the wood trim on the slides.  The white walls above the slides plus the white roof really provide great lighting, much better than when the wall area was tannish wallpaper.

 

ps, easy  to “construction adhesively” glue the plywood to the aluminum studs…

 

Hope this helps.  Good luck.

Thanks for the guidance.  I got the term wallboard from the Carriage site but we are on the same page.
