I did a search today online and I can't find any wood paneling that was used in mobile homes in the 1970s. Does anyone know if it is still being made today? I actually like how it does not require the use of battens to cover the seams. Am I the only on who thinks like this?

Thanks!

Check the home centers, some do still carry wood panel sheets.

Home store in my are still carry some wall panels, but most of it is that hardboard stuff. Bead panels are all wood and nice if you like deep stripes. I have a customer that has 1/4" sanded plywood (no knots) for paneling. It's all stained nice and has a satin type finish. Looks VERY nice, for a wood look. That plywood is about $20 a sheet, so very affordable. I would not use the 1/8" luan panels. They are way too light and flimsy.
