Thanks to leaks, I have several water stains on the interior paneling (RV type) of my trailer. I believe I have the leaks fixed, but the stains are annoying. I really don't want to replace those pieces, so I wondering what others have done to cover/hide water stains.

Paint over it with a product called "Kilz", this will block the stain to keep it from bleeding throgh any further, then paint over it with the color of your choice. Just be sure you got the leak fixed for sure first!!.........There are others on here that may know a better way, I'm just kinda guessing. I know this works on ceiling tiles in the house.

Kilz is an excellent sealer often used by recovery businesses that perform fire restorations. It not only seals stains but also works well on odors. If you can't find the Kilz, try using a polyurethane varnish. Sand it to a dull finish before you paint over it.
As was stated, you have to eliminate the leak source first or the stains will just return.
