replacing a headliner

X3

I removed all of the sagging headliner in my rig by first removing some of the cabinets and by cutting around the ones that I could not remove and re-trimming with oak shoe moulding.

Having an older coach involves maintenance and reconstruction until completely upgraded. If you do the work yourself, there is minimal cost but many labor hours.

Don't let the negative attitudes sway you. You ask for opinions on repairing the headline - not the Rv on total. I did my headliner and I did remove all of the cabinets. Never again. Some of the screws came down from the ceiling junctions at the walls. I had to use a sawall to cut them off flush. I too believe you can trim the headliner right up close to the cabinets and install a new headliner. I bought mine at a auto interior trim shop. I think it cost about $9.00 per foot it was wider than the rv, so it was just a per linear foot cost. It was identical to the stuff I removed. That type of material is very prone to thermal damage.

I agree! I did our 87 Itasca, it had nothing to do with water leaks, it was the foam padding deteriorating. I did not take down the cabinets, I cut along the front of them with a box knife. the part in the cabinets was not falling down. I got a carpet type material from Winnebago that they used in about 2001. It was a light material about 1/4" thick and worked great. the worst part was scraping down the old glue etc. I used contact cement to put up the new material. It was still good when we traded off the MH.
