Moron that had my coach before me installed a TV/TV mount in an asinine position at the foot of the rear bed (super low just off the bed surface). In addition to having to strain your next to watch any TV back there the TV itself was right in the way of pretty much everything & we were constantly making contact with it. So, I moved everything up high now but was left with about a 1/2 dozen holes in the wall that are probably around 5/16ths - 3/8ths in diameter.We can't do the obvious & 'hang a picture over them' b/c again, the holes where the TV mount was is super low on the wall.Any other suggestions on how to plug/cover/patch would be appreciated. Push come to shove I'll just leave them but they're kind of an eye sore given what the previous owner did & how it did it.Thanks in advance!

The hardware store may have some plastic or wood plugs to full the holes. Then try to paint them to match the wallboard. I know this will not be perfect but it would look better than the holes.

One easy fix if the holes aren't too spread out is to attach a blank 2-gang wall plate over the holes using small wood screws instead of the screws that come with it. Use a plate color that matches your outlets and the wood screws can be painted to match with nail polish, etc.One example:2-Gang Midway Blank Nylon Wall Plate, White

I might have a friend paint something on it so that it's a small decorative piece.

Maybe you could mount some sort of a cargo net stuff holder gizmo there to stash your pajamas and, well, whatever other random stuff needs stashing.

I would use wood filler crayons available at Home depot or Lowes or online.
Easy to use and if you take your time those holes will become almost invisible.

Buy a flat cold air return grill. They make them in many different sizes. They may only come in white but you could always paint it a color to blend in with the wall.

Wood grain paneling repair tape

Peel and stick hole covers. Also called peel and stick cover cap

The manufacturer gave me a couple sheets that matched my paneling when I had it in for warranty work.

A piece of molding above and another below. Run these from corner to corner in the room. Fill in between them with a strip of wood in a contrasting color or wallper or tile or whatever.

Get a sheet of decorative paneling something like they use in some RV ceilings,then cut it to fit and glue it to the existing panel.

Yes, I owned a camper that had a grill like that mounted to the outside of the camper. It looked like a normal intake for something (Fan, fridge, etc.) I couldn't figure out why something like that was in that location. I removed it and found that the previous owner had poked a hole in the side of the camper. After filling the hole it still looked bad so he just covered it up with this.

No one ever suspected a thing or noticed it at all.
