What Are My Interior Walls

OK, I have seen Zolotone <sp?> vinyl clad aluminum, etc so what are the interior walls in my 79 Excella 500? They look like plastic to me.

Dan,

The front and end caps are most likely plastic, while the walls should be vinyl clad.

Zolatone is a speckled, multi-colored paint and it hasn't been used in new trailers since the mid-sixties. I did see a mid-seventies trailer that they sprayed over the vinyl with Zolatone...it looked GREAT!

Dano,
Unless a PO did something like paint the walls, they should be a .024 vinyl clad aluminum, pretty decent stuff in that you can scrub the living daylights out of it and it will usually come clean.

many have painted these, not that I recommend that but you might end up with one like I did, which means stripping the paint or repainting, or covering.
The vinyl will come off leaving aluminum if you like that look, but it is serious work. Check the search feature here to see some that are done, and in my members photos I have a shot of my entry door being stripped of the same vinyl. Just started that job yesterday.
