If a coach has a full compliment of upper cabinets, why are most headliner replacement jobs I see spanning all the way to the outside walls. It seems to me that a joint in the headliner panels under the cabinet face would be better -particularly when considering future replacement or repair. This would also allow for a change to better-wearing materials to be used inside the cabinets. It might also make for less waste of fabric headliner material (hull liner is 6' wide, for example). Other than "more work" what are the negatives I'm missing?

The ceiling panels are designed to (fit in grooves) hold themself up (and not sag)
with the built in tension, when the panel is the correct length from side to side.
If not required, then it's not necessary to cover the panels to the wall.
If the panels are short, cabinet to cabinet, the ceiling will have to be fastened
to keep them in place and not sag.
The length of my panels are 72.875 inches. Some coaches may vary, I made a 3" test strip to get the right length.
Panels over large modules will be short, no choice.
Ceilings have done in many ways, in the end it's your way.
