Wow! That’s some excellent advice. Thank you, everyone. Especially BobsYourUncle.
The RV is a truck camper. Arctic Fox. It’s very solid. No leaks. I already own it. I was looking at changing RVs because I want something nicer inside and maybe a little more storage. I really don’t enjoy building things because I’ve done too much of that. However, any new options involve spending a lot of money I’d prefer to save and invest.
The one thing I am really uncertain about is how many hours this might take. The entire thing is only 18ft long and the non-bed part you can stand in is 9ft long. Tiny. But complicated.
A few more pics to describe the vinyl trim everywhere.
^this is the corner of a ceiling. Note the ceiling carpet, textured wallpaper and vinyl trim piece. This vinyl trim is everywhere.
^this is the floor. Stickers over 1/8” door skin like the cabinetry in this pic, lots of gross carpet and that brown vinyl piping.
^this is another corner of a ceiling near cabinetry. There is a brown vinyl piping any place there is cabinetry. Cabinetry is pressboard with a sticker on it to look like old style wood.
^this is the floor plan
That trim you call piping is standard and normal for RVs, it is a quick and inexpensive way for RV manufacturers to hide the butt ends of adjoining wall or cabinets.
You ARE going to get that even in "high end" brand new RVs and can't be avoided.
You can take a very sharp heavyduty sturdy knife (box cutter) and cut it off, then you will have to come back and cover over with some other form of trim, for corners you can buy wood corner molding and but joints in the middle of the wall board you will need flat wood trim. Of course, you would have to finish the new trim to your "tastes"..
