Ceiling Materials

Postby Thumbbilly » Sun Apr 24, 2016 7:09 am

I am working on my new aluminum toy hauler build. I have the white vinyl walls installed from the factory. What material do you suggest for the ceiling? Fiberglass reinforced vinyl panels, luan, something else? Just want something I can purchase at the local store.

I used 5mm floor underlayment and painted it in a off white semi gloss paint that matches the trim colors in my CTC. I ripped several pieces of 3/8 plywood down to 3" wide and attached them with screws to the metal ceiling supports for the ceiling panels to rest on. I used a thin bead of liquid nails and a air stapler to attach the ceiling panels to the furring strips. I'm hiding the seam on the long side seam with a thin strip of lath trim painted to match the ceiling..
