Haven't knucklehead manufacturers ever heard of "BODY SHOOTZ"? A non asphaltic sealer that is paintable and can have other coatings applied over it? I had to make wood (plywood) instrument panels for both gantry hatch entries on the Kelley II. Plywood because of danger of high voltage electrical leakage and cross current AC and DC shunting. When holes were cut and shapes were finished, I applied several coats of Body Shootz (3M). When last I toured the Kelley (30 years after I outfitted it) those panels were like new, and the enemy here is OCEAN salt water.
At first I wanted to use polyurea bakelite (linen not canvas) but the cost was prohibitive. Special attention has to be paid to seal the edges of the plywood and then caution has to be taken to not scour the never entirely cured coating. But if OEM plasters plastic over the plywood -- what the hell?
Sometimes I utterly fail to see the mind(less) set of the RV industry.
