One of the coaches I'm considering has no headliner, except over the cab area. The previous owner told me it was sagging so he removed it, but never got around to installing anything back up there... so now the ribs and the insulation is exposed. Not a reason to not buy the coach, but it sure is ugly!

I have remodeled a couple bathrooms and used the fiberglass reinforced paneling (FRP) on the walls... these come in 4x8 sheets and are sold at Lowe's/Home Depot. I was thinking that this may be a easy, clean and inexpensive solution for replacing the missing headliner. The panels are usually joined with narrow plastic trim peices. The normal FRP panels are sold in white or Almond color...

Here's a pic of the textured panels so you know what I'm talking about:

Anyone used this stuff for a headliner before? Thoughts, ideas, tips, tricks are welcome!!
