Mirror Back Splash Removal?
I remember reading on here that someone had removed the mirrors from the kitchen backsplash area, and I've searched for it with no luck.
If anyone reading this has done it, please let me know the procedure you used because I don't like the idea of breaking all the glass mirrors and then trying to sweep up all the glass.

Tape the mirror up and tape it to walk. Then use a heat gun all over till it pops away from wall.
I ll also search a bit.

Did you remove the mirrors in the kitchen area ?
I just purchased a 2000 360xc dp a few weeks ago. Wifes first idea was to remove them.
Maybe apply new one over it?
Let me know.

Hood to hear how you did it. I have done the bathroom backsplash and was wanting to do the kitchen area. Woner about the gap since the stick on tiles I have a not as thick as the glass. Any problem?

The beveled mirror is thicker than the tile but i ran the tile into the groove in the corian splash thinking i would make up the difference with clear caulk but I never did it because it is barely noticeable. We've been replacing carpet with vinyl plank flooring and wallpapering the walls and putting a booth and new furniture and window treatments. Once we make our first trip since the renovations I'll know more how it all works out but getting rid of the mirrors definitely modernzed our 1999 Airstream. I'm sure there is a better tool than a framing square but it worked out ok minus a few blisters, lol. Good luck with your project. I think you'll be pleased with the results.

365XC Interior remodel
Here's the link to our blog post on the interior remodel of our 365XC
https://herbnkathy.com/2017/12/12/in...eam-motorhome/
We also used a long thin putty knife to get behind each mirror panel and "tear" the adhesive tape to get it off the wall. We didn't remove the mirrors at the kitchen because they are actually installed behind the countertop .. we would need to remove the counter
Although in this video we recovered the window boxes, we have since replaced those boxes altogether with solid oak boxes made by local Amish
