Has anyone had any luck using peel and stick or gel tiles on your backsplash or any other parts of the pod? We have a 179 and wanted to do a backsplash. I didn't know how well it would work with temp extremes etc. Any input or pics are appreciated. Thanks.

We did the back wall in the kitchen of our 180.  There is a picture in the thread with our mods.  I can't get the hyperlink right, if somebody can fix it, I'd appreciate it.

Found it. Thanks Donnie. Looks great. So I assume you have had no problems with the tile falling off etc? We live in the south and it is hot and sticky in the summer. It's kinda like putting tile in your car in the summertime so I wanted to make sure it would work. Do you think it could be removed without destroying the interior? Just curious.

We just did ours in October and the pod is hibernating right now.  It was fine 2 weeks ago when we put the cover on but the real test will come with the heat this summer.  We're heading to Key West in 6 weeks and 2 days  (no, I'm not counting, why would you think that?) so we can check it when we prep for the trip.  When we were applying the tiles we had to keep re-positioning them and we didn't have any problem with messing up the walls.  One thing, though, when you buy the tiles check them very carefully along the edges.  They come to the store with plastic bands around each stack that are pulled so tight that some of them are unusable because the sides get smooshed and wrinkled.  We returned several sheets and explained why we couldn't use them.  While we were looking over the replacement sheets one of the employees came along and tossed the returned ones back on the shelf to be sold again. I explained that we had just returned them because they were unusable but he really didn't care.  Good luck and holler if you think of any more questions.

Has anyone done the peel and stick laminate flooring on the back arched wall of a 179 – specially on the backside of the front end As a backsplash over the bed area?’
