Storage compartment Material

[JoeofNSB]

Anyone have a good supplier for storage compartment material (carpet-like material)? I had some water damage on the 5er I just bought; repaired the wood and need to replace some of the carpet. Probably can get it from Keystone but looking for a less expensive and possible local supply.

Thanks and Happy New Year and Happy Camping to all!!!

Personally I would look at maybe your local auto parts store and see what they have for automotive carpet or even at your local fabric store or even a car stereo shop. The material that they wrap stereo sub boxes works well and is pretty durable. Or you could even check with a local marina for boat carpet. I hope these ideas will help.
Happy new year and happy camping to you too.

Most upholstery shops can get the "woven polyethelene felt" that is used in many motorhomes to line the storage compartments. It's waterproof, won't grow mold, easy to work with and is light eough to use with contact cement to line most any compartment. It's about 1/8" thick, so it has some cushion as well as prreventing scratches. I've only seen it in dark or medium gray, but it may come in other colors as well.

I saw some at JoAnn Fabrics a couple of months ago, so you may find it at another fabric store also.
