Just wondering whether those plastic panel joiners/mouldings can still be purchased. They are the ones that join ceiling panel to ceiling panel, wall panel to wall panel, junction of ceiling to wall, junction between cabinets to ceiling/wall etc. The previous owner of my van ended up using oversized timber mouldings everywhere and it looks horrible. Keen to either use these plastic mouldings (particularly for the ceiling) or more delicate timber mouldings where I have to.
I ended up buying a test strip from bunnings which is supposed to be a joiner between panels of fibre cement, so the grooves are 4mm wide rather than 3mm.

I had the same problem with the strips ,all modern ones are either 4mm or 3 mm trouble is you can only buy white nowadays .but I bought a access door on ebay and when I went to pick it up found the seller was an old repairer of caravans from his house ,had a shed full of parts and bits and pieces to pick and choose from . with my wall panels I glued 1mm thick pvc edge tape to the length of the backs and edges where it touched studs and wall plates ,this made the panelling 3.7mm thick and great for the modern strips

I use the bunnings ones for my van. Admittedly they are alittle big but I don't seem to have any issues. (Actually I re paneled my entire van with them)

This will be my first post .
If you go down to bunnings and find the wet wall panelling . The panels look like 3mm thick
laminate sheets. There you will find there accessory's. The rack is full of 3mm inner corners ,sheet joiners, external corners , top / end caps and a bath mould .
Hope this helps

I bought mine from my local caravan repairer. They were happy to provide advice and any bits I needed and were cheaper than Bunnings.

Had another look in Bunnings (a different one) - still the same issue finding 4mm joiners not 3mm. I think I will use the one I bought (as a test) to see how it looks. Ill just need to put some silicone/glue in the groove to ensure it sits tight on the ceiling panel and doesnt drop 1mm.
Might have a chat to Barnes Caravans in western Sydney next time I am out there too.

Thanks supreme - I actually just finished re-installing the ceiling panels. Chose to use timber strips as that it what the previous owner used for one panel he replaced. Its not exactly the same but close enough. Its all going to painted so shouldnt look too bad.
