Okay, check out this pic. What would you do about these holes cut into the room divider? I covered the one on the right with a CO2 Detector, but I can't think of anything to do about the other. A few options I see is to (1) Cover it with something, (2) Patch It, or (3) Replace the entire divider. Any other ideas? What would you do?

Hi Mike --I'm sure you mean a CO detector. And those do have to be mounted high. Your CO detector probably is surface mount, right? These holes aren't right over the stovetop, are they?
What about putting the CO detector in the bed area and placing something decorative to cover both holes? Just brainstorming ... no hot ideas actually.
you could put a grill of some sort over it or what about a doorbell or both? replacing the bulkehead is only an option when you can match the finish. If you go this route consider just putting a skin on the exposed area.I had a similar problem with a bulkhead on an old sailboat. I covered it with a stainless plate. I have seen charts, compasses, UHF radios, stereos, LCD's, and radar used to cover the indescretions of a PO.I hope you find something!BoatBoy
If things like a smoke detector don't make sense then the artwork would be a viable and inexpensive option. Or one cabinet style door perhaps. I'm not a fan of grilles as they still show what's behind them to some degree. In an old Scottie trailer I had we covered up an ugly stain on the wood on one wall that had been very poorly repaired with a framed vintage map of the USA, circa 60's, out of a National Geographic magazine. It looked very appropriate, and we actually found it at a flea market. It will be interesting to see what you finally decide on.
Well, call me crazy for asking but what are the holes from??
My opinion of what to do depends on how much work you actually want to do? Replace it is best but I like the decorative cover idea. Artwork? Family pics? Airstream paraphernalia? Put back what ever came out of the whole?? I am sure you did not like the last answer! Send pics of what ever you decide.

Hi, Lowes has these grills [heater / a/c duct covers] that are close to the size of your license plate or a little smaller; They are antique looking and come in, I think, Brass, Bronze, and Stainless Steel finishes. Put some speaker cloth behind the grills so you can't see through them.

As I love old license plates as Arizona copper Lp, I advice you that idea ; Of course, other souvenirs from last tours or trophy; why not a light or a neon light ith the support... you have the great advantage to not drill for the wires...
