Need help with wall repairs
I am getting my 2009 2980RL ready for my trip to Florida and had the slides out put things back into it after winterizing it last year. Well the weatherman is calling for 10 to 12 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow. So I went out and started to close the slides so I will not need to crawel up and sweep the snow off them. Well, as I was closing the big living room slide I pushed the lazy-boy reliner into the small table which then punched a small hole in the back panel(wall). Does anyone have any experience repairing the paneling and where can I get a small piece of the wall paper to cover up the repair? I guess I will have a little/big job waiting for me down in the sun.

The paneling is a prefinished panel. I believe it's a vinyl finish.
My suggestion would be to fill the hole with spackle if not to large. If you have a large hole, patch with drywall (California patch), spackle, prime and paint. Match base coat and use a sponge with matching accent color. Otherwise you will have purchase some panel from a dealer, strip old panel and install the new panel.

I did the same thing. I went to home depot and bought a plastic ivory 2 gang blank electrical cover plate and screwed it over the hole. It looked good and nobody ever noticed. Cost $ 2.00 to repair. Hope it helps.

Check with Keystone Customer Service. I got some matching repair vinyl from them for a similar repair. Walt

Thanks Walt, I did contact Keystone Customer Service and they stated they do not sell retail items and pointed me to their webpage and suggested I contact a Keystone dealer. As I am leaving very soon for Florida...after it stops snowing here in Canada, and will go to a dealer and buy some matching vinyl.

I needed a 12" X 12" patch. Don't ask why. Went into the closet and cut a piece out of the closet wall. My dealer was able to provide me the matching seam tape. Covered the never see hole in the closet with a piece of scrap decorative paneling I had laying around. Jim
