Camper Cabinets - Wood grain peeling

[NEOK]

The cabinets in our TC have the wood grain paper finish over particle board and we are getting some of the paper flaking off in one area close to the floor. Has anyone else had this problem and come up with a solution to repair it?

Mine is doing the same thing. I put clear packing tape over the spot. Seems to be working.

Haha. Did that before when moving out of an apartment and wanted to get our deposit back. There was a space between the kitchen cabinets and the ceiling, and our bird would perch up there and chew the molding, through the veneer to the particle board. We 'painted' the molding with a brown Sharpie and got our deposit back. :B

If it's loose paperish stuff, glue it back on.

If it's missing altogether in small spots, I've found with similarly constructed stuff that one can often make the faults far less visible by coloring in the missing bits with a brown magic marker. Something half a shade darker than the simul-wood works pretty well. I guess if you're artistic enough you can also draw in some graining etc. but that's beyond my abilities (or at least patience for such things).

We found some wood grain sticky-back shelving paper that I used as a patch.

We had our previous camper for 8 years, and it also had the peal-and-stick "simulated" wood grain paper finish! It pealed in a few places too. I simply used good old Elmer's glue and glued it back down. Those spots never pealed up again ... but I can't say that for new spots that did. Glued them too, and they never came up again. When we sold the camper, it was all glued down pretty good!
