Hmm.. have you ever tried that yourself?

In RVs the paneling is not only stapled in it is GLUED to the studs behind it.

Attempts to remove any paneling is most likely going to destroy it in the process.

Best to leave any existing paneling alone unless you want to re panel the entire room.

It would be doubtful that you will find the same paneling.

I would highly recommend replacing the damaged paneling with Luan, you can stain it, paint it and even wallpaper over it (when properly sealed). This will give you the chance to "update" the look a bit!

Typically RV paneling is only 1/8" thick and most home centers only sell 1/4" luan.

This will create a high spot that you will need to deal with or remove all the paneling on that wall to a point which you can no longer see a transition.

Matter of fact I did, it was also an early 90's model Layton but a pull trailer and the closet paneling was not glued to anything just stapled. It may have been on the side wall not the back of the closet as I posted but I do think it was from the back wall.

You got lucky.

I have rebuilt two TTs with my current one a full complete gut job leaving only the toilet and tub in place.

Every inch of paneling was stapled AND glued including cabinet fronts and sides (both trailers which were two different manufacturers and different years).

You can view my trailer rebuild documentation if you don't believe that I have ripped em a part..
