A few months ago, I finished replacing the ceiling in our motorhome.
The foam between the ceiling luan and the vinyl deteriorates over time and the vinyl sags down. There appears to be three repair methods: total remove and replace, remove vinyl and foam and overlay with new material, or use thumb tacks to push the vinyl back into place.
I opted for total removal reusing the existing vinyl and replacing the foam and luan underlayment. I used laminate floor padding for the foam which will not deteriorate.
Project was time consuming, however, not very expensive or difficult.

A local RV interior specialist advised that there is no fix for this problem as the age is the prime reason and the separation and it is simply going to get worse. The solution is to have it removed and replace it with a new liner. The estimated cost for this is in the area of $6,000!! I can replace the liner in vinyl as is the original or use a fabric material. The coach is a side aisle floorplan and so the hall and bath will be individually done. The specialist advised that the material costs are minimal. The labor is extensive and is the reason for the very high costs. Any comments from members who had to deal with this issue? Thanks.
