Finest conversion I've ever seen

[DrivingMissLazy]

Richard,

it's a 1968 model what do you want?

Laminates are still the typical materail for most professional conversions yep even the million dollar jobs

I would want solid wood instead of plastic for that kind of money.

My MC-8 is real wood under the Formica.

My conversion is mostly formica and I love it! Very easy to keep clean and maintain! I agree that a LOT of the million plus coaches are laminate and it's not to just cover up bad work! Has anyopne priced the formica laminate lately compared to solid wood? You will be surprised and with wood there is always the refinishing aspect down the road!

To each his own!

The comment on laminates covering a lot of sins came from friends that work for marathon and liberty. I've seen many high quality conversions that are truly quality work and I didn't mean it in a derogatory way, it was just an amusing thing that I was told by them.  On the other hand, over the years I've had the chance to work on several conversions that were from the major converters doing updating, corrective work etc. and in the process of removing lifted laminates, I've seen gaps, voids, and sins of all sorts that had been covered up, unfortunately, the truth of the industry is that if it's hidden or covered, it is of less importance.  Regardless, it's still a great looking and well thought out job.

Ace, you guys that do your own work do a great job with Formica but these so called pros do use it to cover their sins I know this first hand from a 1996XL I bought new every time I  stopped a piece was off put 15,000 miles on the coach taking it back to factory for repairs but still like the stuff for easy cleaning (not that I do the cleaning) just do it right

I'm with DML, I  just love real wood, the warmth of it.  And you can repair it too should the surface get damaged.

I Had To Go With Real Wood And I Have Over 1,500 Hours In The Conversion So Far! I Just Finished Trimming Out The Ceiling And The Rear Wall Today. There Will Be No Plastic, Paint, Particle Board, MDF, Formica, Etc. In My Coach! I'll Have Copper Counter Tops Made From Flashing Material And Hand Made Cedar Cabinets And Doors.
Take Care,
