How about using some high density foam, Shape it any way you want, Paint it
or cover it with fabric.
Just a thought....

Wayne,
Thanks for that information. I decided that since I am getting low on
funds, time and ideas before my trip Saturday I am going to reuse
part of the 4" OEM plastic trim. I will paint it tomorrow with vinyl
spray paint (same as I did the rest of the trim and the plastic headliner)
and cut the best pieces for the area over the bunk bed couch and over
the door. Inside the lockers it doesn't matter at this point. I just need
to get the coach presentable by Saturday. It is a good thing that my
trim came down relatively easily and thus is in decent shape except for
the yellowing.

Later when time permits I'll go to some other type of trim.

The stuff the other guys recommended would be good. That's all I did
was to buy a kit at the local auto parts store. It is really pretty easy. I
made
sure to buy some disposable plastic gloves to work the stuff.

Arch,
Thanks for the tips. I'll save them for later. Right now my plan is
to try and reuse the old trim. I've run out of time and money for anything
better. The old trim is really not in that bad of shape, except for the
yellowing. I'm going to paint it, stick it up and then do something else later
when I have more time.
