Refrigerator Door Panels
My rig had a brand new fridge installed but whoever did it failed to order the beauty panels for the doors.  Not liking the industrial insulation look, I got some .032 aluminum sheet, painted, and installed them.. took awhile to figure out how to get them into the door frames but it's much better.
Now that I see the painted panels I think I might get some wood door skins and stain them like the rest of the cabinetry...  but these will probably grown on me.
Almost done with the rehab...

Hi Bill (desertdust);  The interior of your coach looks a lot like my '99 as far as wood tone.  Wilsonart has (what I call Formica)  high pressure laminate available. 1/16" thick, very scratch resistant in 'Nepal Teak'. That should be a perfect match for your wood grained (I think vinyl) cabinet finishes.  I'll agree with JOR that the color you chose is good, but the wood grain pattern is good too. Laminate - Nepal Teak - 7209
   The WilsonArt is shipped rolled up, once unrolled It pretty much stays flat. I don't think you can roll it back up.  I've used it for shelves and panels to match. The satin texture is good. For the refrigerator panels you might want to double it up with a 1/16" backing. It might be good by itself.   RonB

Thanks Ron, I had the aluminum and paint already so my solution was low-cost   :)
I looked a that site and it suggested Home Depot as a source but I'd have to order it and it's not cheap.  Maybe someday.

I think all I have to do now is finish installing the battery minder (almost done) and go through all the lights inside and out and I'll be travel ready.  Quartzite is a possibility
