Elkhart, Indiana?

But seriously, you probably don't have wall paper - you probably have pre-covered paneling which may not even be made anymore. Best to give Thor a call and see what they say.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your purchase.
If your call to Thor doesn't get what you want, you might consider covering all or part with self stick wallpaper. We did that on two walls and it came out great. (Did it together and stayed married!)
PS. Its easy to change your profile from "Still looking")

I’ve got a roll of stuff for my 2019. Post a color picture. How much do you need?

I noticed on the drivers side of the 2021 THOR ACE that the wallpaper is starting to bubble up due to some debris left on panel as they covered wall. I was going to remove the wallpaper, remove what ever is in there and recover. Do you have some i could purchase. The picture below is the color of the interior wallpaper.

Its not water damage or panel delamination, just small areas of the paper getting loose.

Not sure what causes this, but it seems, i could peel back the paper at the seam, and clean panel than put new paper over area. however, without knowing how paper is attached, will the fix be worse than the problem?

Our 2019 windsport 29m has done the same thing on this same area. It's like pebbles are coming through.

Have you poked a hole in the bubbles to make sure no water is behind?

I seriously doubt the paper is just now starting to bubble because of debris left on the wall when covered 2 years ago. Something else is causing the problem.

It is water damage. You need to figure out where the water is coming from and fix it ASAP. I know it is hard little granules but it comes from the wall getting wet.

[txc2936@yahoo.com]

I inspected the wall, nothing on outside surface of RV and tap test sounds good, so no delamination of the panels.

The window with screen slide is above this area and i am looking for leaks, All looks dry.

I suspect there is water coming down thru the window, collecting and starting to show itself. This might be a THOR issue,

Time to get the exacto knife out and see if there is any water in these bubble areas.

Floor area is dry. Jimbo is sending a piece of paper, i will remove the entire area, reseal and replace paper.

I inspected the entire interior of the RV and this is the only area with these characteristics, being i am the owner since new, this type issues get caught early.

Thanks for help.

The walls are basically 1/4" plywood (luan). The wall covering is adhesive backed... very similar to contact paper.

Wood inherently has a degree of moisture content, and combined with exposure to environmental moisture, the wall covering adhesive will eventually begin failing.

I've successfully CAREFULLY peeled back a few corners where the peeling had started and used 3M spray adhesive to re-stick. Be VERY CAREFUL to not get the adhesive on the front surface... the wall covering is easily damaged by even mild cleaners - it is probably just screen printed. Don't as how I know about that...

[txc2936@yahoo.com]

Thanks, I removed a piece of the wallpaper.

[Mulerider]

If your wallpaper matches mine I would love to purchase a piece 3ft x 4ft or tell me what size you have available.
I press on the wall and there is an area that feels like the 1/4 in wood is broken. Also I have pebble like bumps in the wall I need to check out. No visable leaks.

[txc2936@yahoo.com]

I spent the Sunday removing the inside window frame, and peeling back as much paper as i could. The damage is worse than expected. I will try and remove the side console with the leveling jack controls, but having issues finding the screws that hold it on.

I think this is from all the excessive rains we have had during the summer months, I actually tilted the RV fwd to help run off the rain, this might have caused all the water to run down the fwd drivers windows. The water found a seam and ran down the inside of RV. All panels are wet,so i guess drying out for the next few days are in order.

[txc2936@yahoo.com]

I decided to remove the entire area around the drivers seat. I will let it dry for a few days, clean, reseal wood, and recover.

Hello sir and sorry to see that. May I suggest you put a dehumidifier in your rv for a couple of days and this should help pull the moisture out of the wood. Also, check your drains on the outside of the rv window frame and make sure they are not clogged. My suggestion would be to take a water hose to the outside of your rv while someone is on the inside so you can locate the leak and fix before going any farther. Good luck

[txc2936@yahoo.com]

Thanks, Its a work in progress, wood all dried, i will let it dry with fans for a few more days. There is absolutely no sealant or anything around these windows with large gaps. (OK maybe there is a little adhesive strip that comes with window). I have used a few tubes of clear sealant, and one expandable foam application along the top of window. On outside i have sealed around the periphery of the window, removed the lower seal and sealed around the exposed window edge. All the drain paths are clear. You can bet when i am done, you could submerge this RV and there wouldn't be a leak.

PS. another member of this group has graciously sent some extra wall covering. I will submit a professional to help with the wall covering, i'm all thumbs when it comes to this detail work.. and i only get one chance.

[txc2936@yahoo.com]

I have had some warm clear weather here, So i was able to seal outside window and add a rain drip shield, inside the wall is prepped and i am waiting for the correct wallpaper pattern to come into CW. The piece i got had a slightly different pattern from the 2021 ACE. Anyway, i used it and made a template. Moving slowly, but in right direction. in my downtime, i waxed RV again.

[txc2936@yahoo.com]

finally got the correct wallpaper from THOR.
