Alternative ceiling finish for those who left stock ceiling in

Hey there! We are one of those bus people who chose to leave their original ceiling in. Yes, some of you are against that but we did check for leaks multiple times during demo (had thunderstorms

Awesome job. I've been looking at foam backed fabric but it's not easy to clean. It also absorbs odors (cooking). I never really liked the look of wood strip ceilings, they're overpowering and remind me of a whiskey barrel. Your ceiling looks great!

I wanted to do something like this, did some testing on my metal ceiling in Phoenix, the heat was too much for the adhesive. Looks great OP.

I plan on luan paneling covered in some sort of fabric except for the kitchen. This looks like it might work well
