    Interior on 10' non cabover Alaskan

    I am contemplating what to do with the interior on my 1970's Alaskan. The paneling that is in it now is badly water damaged and needs total replacement. I wanted to keep the look as close to original as I can without spending a fortune. I have determined the wood used on most of the earlier...
