Fixing The Bunk Ceiling

I put this project off for awhile, mostly because I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do it (or how to do it) However, I finally tackled it! The back of the camper had water damage and I removed all the loose pieces. You can read about that HERE

I got a sheet of 1/4″ Lauan Plywood from Home Depot that I cut into strips to fit the ceiling. Each one was a different size to fit equally between the studs. So I’m sure if you have this issue to put up boards it might work a little differently for you. I knew I was going to be covering it so I wasn’t too picky with how it looked. My ceiling is rounded so I couldn’t just put up one piece. I’m sure there are so many different ways to fix a camper ceiling, but this board and screws only cost me about ten bucks! Plus I have about half the board left over for other projects.

I measured to the middle of each stud so I could secure each board and have space to screw in the next one.

I purchased these black vinyl tiles at Home Depot. They have these similar ones on Amazon but they are 24″x24″ rather than the longer ones I got. I think they will still work perfectly for you if you’d rather order them with prime shipping. They come in just about every color. I’m not sure if the black will look good or not… we’ll find out soon! Once I get all the walls painted then the tiles will be going up! Super excited!
