I really don't know as much as I should about the plastic panels. They cost around $33 at lowe's, they are textured on one side. I thought they looked like perfect ceiling panels, and I am screwing them in place right over what's left of my Old ceiling panels. I need another panel, so next time I am at lowe's, I will try and get more details. Hello everybody I did ask A couple of employees at my local hardware stores as far as the fiberglass panels are concerned, I was told that it would probably take power stapler to shoot the staples through it and that the fiberglass weighs about the same as the 1/8 wood skins. I also just purchased a repair your RV book from amazon.com. I should have it this Sat. I will let everybody know if the book is any good. Also it is my understanding that with the dolphin the outside sheet metal slides off in sections you will have to remove all screws doors windows and compartment doors in areas you are working in. and the panels slide out in sections. That's all I have been able to find out at this time Winston

Thanks John For the fast replay yes you are right door skins come in 1/8th 3x7. I thought that was the only size until I went to the lumber store and found out the had them in 1/8th 4x8 sheets @ about $1.00 more and when I saw the fiberglass I thought they would not rot just the wood frame. do you Know if the wood frame is 1x2 Thanks Winston

hello I am in the process of getting a 1985 Toyota Dolphin for $500.00 I have to wait for some legal stuff to go through once its done it is mine. needs some miner engine workand new battries. it has a side bathroom and rear kitchen. The bathroom has wood rot on the lower left corner and rear lower wall. and the kitchen has rot around window as window is broken out. it appers to me that the wood panels are 1x8 door skins. and 1x2 framming. It appears that I need 6 of the skins. 4x8 wood skins coast about $9.50 a sheet. Ihave also seen fiberglass skins in difrrent colors and some with a wood grain look or tile look they coast about $32.00 for 1x8 by 4x8 sheet. as for what is in the bathroom now is wood with like a vinyl wall paper. has any body replaced the wood wit pvc or fiberglass and is it worth the extra cost as it would not rot. thanks Winston
