We bought an older Hitchiker 5th wheel and I am seriously thinking about putting in a backsplash. It's got a rear kitchen. My only concern is how well the backsplash is going to hold up during traveling. I'm thinking that the "peel and stick" mosaic would probably be the easiest, if I can find the colors I want. Has anybody done something like this? I am definitely handier than DH, so this will be MY project.

I used Smart Tiles. They are sticky and have been up for a year. They look great and go on easy.You can get them direct...HERE! or you can also get them through Home Depot

There are some new type of tile out. It goes on like peel and stick but then you put just a small amount of grout. You can get it at the big box stores, your choiceCeramic tile would be awful heavy. It doesn't look like much but pick it up and see what it weighs.Whatever you choose, have fun doing it and show us before and after pics.

we just use Plexiglas and hold them up with mirror holders.

We put a backsplash up in our kitchen (or really my hubby did). It came out great, and has traveled with no problem. I detailed the steps and materials we used on my blog.

In fact I could put up a piece of clear plastic held by Velcro in the corners. Then I could take them off easily for cleaning/replacement and there's no holes in the walls.Thanks,

Some or maybe most of the home supply/building supplies and others that sell stone and synthetic counter topcan cut you piece, of granite or whatever or heavy simulated stuff. Simply glue it on and hold in place for a bit.
Wife brought several samples of the tin and little tile pieces on a sheet home and none of them looked good to us. If you see what you like glue it on.
