interior trim replacement

Ok, so I live in a area that is very hot and dry in the summer, and over the course of 33 year this has tanken its tole on my edge banding (if thats what it is called)  in my camper, so I would like to replace it, but I am not sure on the proper name or where to find some of the old vintage styles that they used in RV's .  here are a couple pick so you can see what I am after.  you can see in the first pictures the curves have shrunk causing it to pull away, and in the second it has rippled around the table.  so if anyone knows of a good supplier of these moldings please let me know.

  • Something like this? Obviously white isn't what you want but it will hopefully get you started.

      thanks, that shows me how they classify the size.  I need three different ones I believe..  all wood grain two different sizes then one wood grain with a gold band in it.  that is if I want to stay accurate to how it was built.  guess I need to find my measurments so I can get something ordered.  

  • Now is the time that you could go with a different modern look. Maybe change the table to a sold surface product. Maybe remove the trim and go with painted wood.

      I don't know if I would want to go solid surface, you still have to screw the sliding mount into the bottom and that thick of a solid surface would be very expensive, unless you glue a thiner piece onto plywood.  so maybe, but then you change the table and it turns into the countertops, and what about the edge banding on the partition walls..  soon your gutting the whole camper haha.   I kinda like the look of whats in there, its a lighter wood, and the formica is a timeless style, but maybe there is somthing to be said for the table and the counters if I could find somthing that fits good.  I don't think that would be to hard to do and I could change the mounting style of the table to make it a little more solid.  something to think about anyways...
