Could anyone tell me what type of paneling or what you use for your interior walls. I see in motorhomes they use a luan paneling. Is this what you use in the coaches also? Where do they get the fancy (wallpaper material) to go on it. What is luan Paneling. Sorry don't mean to be stupid. Just starting to learn this stuff. Thanks Larry |

Larry,
This is one of the nice things about converting your own bus. YOU decide what will cover the walls. There are many choices including carpet, naugahyde, formica, paneling or wallpaper like panels. We instaled 1/2" plywood, and are going to cover this with wainscoating, chair rail, and then wallpaper the rest of the way to ceiling. Luan is a low cost (Relatively speaking) paneling. This is the same wood used on the lower cost interior "slab" doors used in residential construction. Some of the others may have other ideas. Hope this helps, Jack |

Larry you can get the wall paper at any large distributor. Get the commercial grade 54" wide. Just finished my Eagle interior with it and it looks great. |

We used a Formica type product. It went on easy and is also easy to keep clean. Comes in many different patterns.Makes a great base if you decide to cover it later. |

Lauan, also known as "Phillipine mahogany", is a
relatively soft, inexpensive hardwood. It is commonly used in cheaper brands/quality of paneling, and frequently covered in a plastic
finish with imprinted grain representing more
expensive hardwoods such as oak, walnut, maple,
etc. For years it was standard stock-in-trade
for manufactured housing (trailer houses), most
notably in product lines aimed at low-income
buyers. It is frequently used in plywoods and
paneling where one side is a more expensive
veneer and the opposite side is going to be concealed. |

In a recent house job I was told manufacturer would not warranty vinyl flooring over laun underlayment because of oil problems with wood, on a wall application this potential problem could be eliminated by the use of a sealer primer. |
