Hey Hozier (I love that band by the way), yes you can apply the Genesis Revive wallpaper over your existing wallpaper or other coverings on the walls. You'll just want to prep it by cleaning surfaces with warm soapy water and then roughen up the surface with 220 grit sandpaper then you're good to go with the installation!

What travel trailer or RV do you have? I can help pick out the correct size kit for you.
Some popular options are as follows:
-Genesis Revive RV Wallboard Kit - 50' Roll - Oatmeal Linen # GR93FR or 100' Roll # GR58FR.
-Genesis Revive RV Wallboard Kit - 50' Roll - Crisp Linen # GR33FR or 100' Roll # GR26FR.
-Genesis Revive RV Wallboard Kit - 50' Roll - Geo Linen # GR95FR or 100' Roll # GR53FR.
-Genesis Revive RV Wallboard Kit - 50' Roll - Structured Linen # GR73FR or 100' Roll # GR48FR.
-Genesis Revive RV Wallboard Kit - 50' Roll - Sketch Linen # GR43FR or 100' Roll # GR38FR.

I have a 2018 Tracer by FOREST RIVER INC, TRT291BR. Looking at the photos, I feel like the correct wall paper to match the existing is sketch linen. If you are able to confirm this, that would be amazing. I am also trying to replace a cabinet panel that got damaged. The panel measures 31.5” x 9.5” and the cabinet door measures 36”x14”. If you are able to help with either of these, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you!

@SheaR The revive peel and stick RV wallpaper kits are usually not going to match OEM wallpaper exactly, but they try to get as close as possible to keep the same look when redoing it. That said, I do agree the sketch linen seems to be the closest option to what yours came with, based on some google searches of course. It looks like this specific color combo was made to match the setup yours came with so I'd go with that! As far as cabinet doors go, we unfortunately do not get into that market. I'd reach out to Forest River or another supplier (unfortunately) to find a replacement cabinet door. Sorry about that Shea!
