Newbie here with first post (and RV - C Class)! Ok, I am ready to accept that my "new" 94 c-class has some delamination, if not serious delamination. I am not one to hire out for labor, partially because of budget and partially because I like the challenge. (The one time I tried to hire some help which was on this RV was to help extract the broken 460 exhaust studs. I couldn't find someone willing to do it at least for under 2k. I just finished replacing the heads and got it running this weekend.)
I am prepping it for a trip at the end of the month for my daughters birthday. So now I am looking for my next project (after the trip) and the bumpy walls are driving me crazy. I have been researching the solutions to wall repairs and have come up with only a few leads. I know that Filon is the most common exterior wall material which is a FRP rolled panel. I don't know of other products used perhaps under different names. I have priced it out and it is very expensive. So I found a product called Plas-Tex from Parkland Performance. It is a wall panel, that seems like it could be used on the sides. They show it being used in car washes, but does not necessarily say for outdoor use. It is sold at Lowes in 4 x 8 sheets. I was thinking of using them a section at a time to remove old stuff and repair with these panels - but using vertical seams. Has anybody done anything like this? Or used an alternative panel? I would love to hear suggestions!
Second part of question is what are the wall panels build from? is it all wood or is there aluminum "studs" ? It is a 94 Coachmen Santara. Is there a way to get a schematic or construction diagram of the walls?
