RV Touch-Up Hints by Les Doll, A Certified RV Technician, author of "The Dummys Guide to buying a Pre-Loved RV" E-book

RV interiors are rife with woodwork and wall paneling that can
often get easily scratched or nicked from various sources. There
are several products on the market that can help cover up and
make these defects 'disappear'..... One such handy product is the common 'White-Out' used to correct
spelling errors in typewritten documents. It comes in a
convenient bottle with a brush attached to the cap and costs a
buck or two. Nail or staple holes in white wallpaper, paneling
or ceiling areas are easily filled with this substance and the
repair is invisible. I've heard that toothpaste will also work,
although I have never tried this.

There is also a white filler for drywall that comes in a squeeze
tube - ready mixed and easy to apply. This material dries to a
hard finish that can be gently sanded to blend in.

Also available in squeeze tubes, are colored fillers to match
oak, walnut or whatever color your paneling may be. These can
cover holes or scratches with ease. Often an application of a
slight amount of matching stain will hide small surface
scratches and blends in with the color. Try this in an
inconspicuous area first to make sure.

Larger holes can be covered by pictures, various hanger hooks,
or other accessories, depending on where they are located.
Sometimes a matching baton strip can be added in the same
if they match.

With a little ingenuity, many defects can be made invisible.
