I kinda like my headliner draping as it is right now, kinda looks custom.... lol
Needless to say, much more drape & it will go from "Night's of Arabia" to "Return of The Mummy".... lol
I had a local fella do my Jeep Cherokee headliner. He's "mobile", came to my house & did a bang up AWESOME job.... no complaints at all ..... fantastic! :)
Should I give him a shout for my Pace Arrow, or find someone who specializes in Motorhomes?
WaDo (thanks)

I know guys that do this as a side job and are very good at it, to them it doesn't matter what the hliner is in, they hang the same. That being said, sounds like you have the same type headliner as is in auto's, a thin matl. with a foam back. With this type the worst job is scraping off the old, then you us a spray adhesive to stick the new up. What causes the sagg is the matl. seperates from the foam backing. Now, some R/V's use a marine type material which is like a thin carpet, if this is the case, it goes on with different type adhesive and a little experience will be very helpful. I would have this guy look at it to determine what type material you have and whether or not he can do the job. I recently replaced mine due to water stains. It has the marine matl. in it and when I purchsed the matl. the supplier advised me to use a good grade of contact cement. This can be help to judge whether or not your h.liner guy knows what he is doing. Let us know

Thank You:)
I'm still looking for the fella's business card who did my Jeep Cherokee.
He did an awesome job & I'm hoping he works with the same type of material my liner is made of or can offer something that is durable, breathable & easily cleaned;)
Marine material sounds perfect for an RV, considering the constant moisture problems that pop up.... thanks:cool:
