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. ------------- 2017 R-pod 179 |

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. http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8914&PN=1&title=180-star-pod-mods

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. ------------- 2017 R-pod 179 |

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. ------------- Donnie & Tina Hill 2016 R-Pod 180 "STAR POD" sold 2018 Ford F-150 STX 2013 Ford F-150 Eco-Boost 2020 R-Pod 192 “STAR POD 2” 2020 Coachmen Apex 265RBSS Deep Run, NC |

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?’ ------------- 2018 RPod 179 2015 4 Runner Trail Edition Premium For Ultimate Fly Fishing Adventures |

What are you doing in there that necessitates a backsplash??  ------------- -- Jim Virginia City, Nevada 2016 R-pod 180 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X |

We put the peel and stick tiles in the kitchen area of our Vibe while living in south Florida and the hot humid weather had no affect on them. They held up well and brighten up the kitchen area I would recommend them. You need to be careful to not allow air pockets to be trapped behind the tiles other than that they were easy to install.
