Hi Friends! I have bought a mobile home. It is 1961 Trailoram. The all indoor walls here are finished with the same type of panels, I do not know if they are original from a factory or newer, but I want to do some repair around one window where they have some signs of water damage. I guess someone did not close this window and rain got inside. So I think I will buy few panels and replace damaged with new ones. But I can't understand what a kind of panels they are? Is it veneered MDF or laminated plywood? or something else? I attached a some pictures. Maybe they will help. Thank you in advance!

That is the original 1960's & 70's paneling. I have my doubts that you will find any unless it is out of an other home. Personally I would pull it all and sheetrock the walls. Remember that the old Mobiles had a reputation of being fire traps largely due to the use of that style paneling. I'm not trying to scare anyone but that is just a simple fact.
