Revcon Rebuild Part 12: Interior Walls

When we purchased the Revcon, we were provided with bamboo for the inner walls. We had intentions of using it and even outfitted the back wall and upper walls of the cab with it. Then the upper cab windows leaked. The bamboo wrinkled like a wood-like product would. When we purchased the Revcon, it was floor to ceiling in mold. We decided to abandon the bamboo. (Yes, the upper windows will be repaired)

We opted to use ABS for the inner walls. We decided on a textured white. It is a huge departure from our original plan but it is waterproof, mold proof and easy to maintain. It is rigid yet flexible so works with the curvature of the walls. And it is easy to cut. To balance out the white, we're planning on wood cabinetry.  

 

 

 

We still have to do the rear wall and upper cab walls. But those will wait. We needed to get the Revcon dried in so we could transition to other awaiting projects. Sadly, this giant will again go to the back burner. I have stopped setting timelines with this project because plans consistently change and other projects need attention before spring/summer.  

We're pleased with the how it turned out. The light tan exterior looks great, the white walls really make the space feel open and bright. Having new lighting and fresh paint really makes the Revcon look new.
