Hi All,
I've got some fist-size holes in patterned sheetrock. Anyone ever come up with a better solution than re-skinning the walls?

It is a fairly nice older 14x80 mobile home. Those walls are sheetrock with a factory applied design. It has a texture like a dollar bill.
The link in the first post tells the story with photos: Problem tenant evicted and the condition of the mobile home after retaking possession.
Great link. Thanks!
You may be able to find a mobile home manufacturer for replacement sheets, more so, to match the texture. Also, with many holes, sometimes it's best to cut a section and install a new sheet the same size, then all you need to do is mud the seam.
After doing the patch work, thin down (with water) some dry wall mud and use a rough patterned paint roller to the entire wall and you get a nice texture. that is what I do. Then repaint. WW

Sheetrock seems very odd in a trailer. I've seen a very thin plywood.

That's what it looks like - 1/4" vinyl covered plywood - the divider moulding is a dead giveaway
Get a patching kit from home depot. Will take as long as it takes for the mud and paint to dry. For more information
