Welcome.
Most of us are searching for smooth 1/8" birch. You have different paneling but I would still try one of the places (if nearby) on the thread Mel provided above.
Most vintage campers need rotten panels replaced working from the outside of the camper in to the damaged piece.
Before you start demo, check out the videos done by a member (at cannedhamtrailers.com) or the restoration book written by vikx.
Have fun.

Thanks nccamper! I have already binge-watched Larry's renovation of the DeVille, Shasta and Westerner... LOL! He certainly has made me feel A LOT more comfortable with getting started on this project and a donation with be forthcoming to his Paypal account for all of his efforts.  |

Congrats on your cute new trailer. I also have a trailer that is paneled with that type of 9 groove paneling, except mine was a lighter shade. To re-do the interior of mine and stay with a material that was close to original, I used paneling from Mantel Craft. Almondine Elm was closest to my color and came in 1/8 inch thickness. I looked on their website, but the colors that look similar to yours were 1/4 inch thick. Browse around their site, I might have missed something. Their service was great, shipped fast from Mississippi to California. And they do samples so you can see it before you buy it. Here's the link- www.mantelcraft.com/search.php?search_query=9+groove&Search=Good Luck! |

Thanks Modernme... Looks like the Ambassador Oak might be something I can work with. I'll send off for a sample. Thanks for your input!

Hi mtnwoman... Modernme knows what she's doing in this type of paneling search. You have very interesting looking paneling. I hope you can match it.

I got my 71 Red Dale's replacement paneling out of Cousin Clay's house... I suggest checking out some of the restore/rehab stores. They have tons of odd paneling.
