Interior Panels Removal

I need to add wiring for additional lights and speakers inside a Vengeance 25V. Trailer has a fairly smooth and clean interior but I cannot figure out how to remove (and, more importantly, re-install) the side panels and/or headliner.

Anyone here have any experience with this?

Your 25V is stick and tin?

They are stapled, and then the holes are filled with caulking. The seams in the wall panels will have small strips of vinyl wallcovering over them about 3/4" wide. Ceiling panels are also stapled.

Once you pull them off its almost impossible to get them to look good again when reinstalling unless you have new panels. That is unless you are a true Arteeeest.

By taking down light fixtures, fan / vent bezels and such you can usually fish wiring through the ceiling without taking panels down, Its a time consuming, frustrating, total pain in the dupa but it can be done. The walls are a different story.

The interior walls are usually hollow. The ceiling and exterior walls usually have foam in them.

One alternative is to use some self adhesive "Wire mold". This comes in a coupe different sizes, is self adhesive, and you can run several wires through it.

You can see where I used a short piece on the ceiling when I added a wall switch in my bathroom. This is available at any big box hardware store. look in the electrical department.

Adding bathroom light wall switch converts ceiling fixture to LOW-MED-HIGH | 2001 Coachmen Mirada 300QB
