LF: Cruiser CF325 MK 2011 backwall finish

Have a CR Cruiser CF 325 MK 2011 which had water infiltration previously on the top back, passenger side and poured all over the back wall.



My tech is telling me we have to change all the back wall. He can build a wall and find some kind of mac tack that looks kind of like the actual pattern.


I'd rather find the OG back wall finish which looks like a loan sheet. Anybody has any idea where I could find the replacement part?


Thank you so much

Finding original parts of any kind for a 10 year old rv will be next to impossible, not to mention their cost would be more than the RV is worth.
I'd go with whatever materials are readily available at a much better cost & go with it, it will add NO value to the RV whether it's original material or not. With someone else doing the work with available materials seems to me will be costly enough.

Personally if i am shopping for a different camper and see a changed wall panel or a spot that does not match or if it has been painted the first thing goes thru my mind is what are they trying to hide. Then the price in my mind goes down. To me a used camper in original condition with minimal but normal wear is worth more. If they took the time to care for it cosmetically then it probably was well cared for mechanically. AGAIN THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION!

That said why would the wall have to be rebuilt? That camper should have a aluminum frame and unless it was in a collision or something the frame should be in good shape. If they can find a wall finish close to the original go for it as the original panels are probably no longer available. But it is your camper do with it what you want.

Use a contrasting, complimentary color backwall. You'll rarely find a matching wall material.
