Caravan Wallboard & Interior Panels Guide
1. What Is Caravan Wallboard?
Caravan wallboard is the lightweight decorative panel used on the inside walls and ceilings of caravans and motorhomes. It gives the interior its finished look and is designed to be easy to clean, durable, and simple to replace if damaged.
Most caravans use 3mm or 3.6mm thick sheets with a printed pattern that matches the original interior.
2. Why Wallboard Gets Damaged
Common reasons include:
Water ingress from a window, rooflight, or joint
Damp behind the panel
Impact damage from furniture or fittings
Age‑related bubbling or delamination
Previous repairs that didn’t match the original finish
Understanding the cause helps prevent the issue returning.
3. How to Identify Your Wallboard Pattern
Matching the pattern is the most important part of a good repair.
The simplest way to identify it:
Take a clear photo in daylight
Include a ruler or tape measure in the shot
Look at the grain direction (horizontal or vertical)
Compare the colour tone (warm, cool, grey, cream, woodgrain)
Check if the pattern repeats or is random
If you’re unsure, you can email a photo and we’ll help identify the closest match.
4. Wallboard Sheet Sizes & Thicknesses
Most sheets come in:
2440mm x 1220mm (8ft x 4ft)
3mm or 3.6mm thickness
Some patterns also available in longer lengths for ceilings
Always measure the area you’re repairing and allow extra for trimming.
5. Tools & Materials You’ll Need
A typical repair uses:
Fine‑tooth saw or sharp knife

6. How to Replace Caravan Wallboard
