Many do their own using self adhesive smart tiles. They get them at Lowes or HD for example. Probably cheaper and nicer looking.

I agree. Lots of nice looking options from a home center. We used tin ceiling tiles that really look sharp and are easy to wipe clean.

That tin looks great! I might do that instead of the smart tile.

Thank you. It was my wife's idea. The original plastic fake tile behind the stove was kind of cheesy looking and wasn't install very cleanly. I've found I really like doing improvements and enjoy the serenity of working in the camper. You can really accomplish a lot for not much money.

I just used construction adhesive to stick them to the wall and siliconed around the bottom. Very easy to install.

I like those! Mine came with plastic (and plastic looking) squares that were not nearly as attractive as what you did.

Mine came with the self stick tile and like anything else they came loose as I believe the adhesive was a poor grade. I removed and redid with better adhesive and has been up ever since. Just wish they had installed higher up instead of just a few rows. Later RJD

I am in the process of installing .063 alum diamond plate as a backsplash and a shelf when needed on quick release hinges.
Will post up when done.

It pulled right off. You may take some the wall paper with it but you will be covering it up again anyway.

Here is mine.
May add another piece to the fridge wall side also to keep it uniform looking.

We used smart tiles, it took less than 30 minutes to do the kitchen and a thin layer in the bathroom.
